If you're annoyed by the plugs for Pat's book, I just have to say, the book is the most comprehensive and enjoyable catalog of video games I've seen. He put a lot (a lot) of effort into the guide, and it really shows. So let him shill his years' work for a few minutes, it'll be okay, I promise.

NES classic edition. Does that thing even exist? Heck I preordered the Switch the night it was announced and then decided to check Best Buy site after my order to see if I can get one...NOPE. This thing cannot be found and I don't think it wants to be found.
I *loved* all of the callbacks to classic Punk episodes. (Hey. I saw that Caltron vid!) I also really enjoyed a lot of the IDGAF humor. I know the Punk is just a character, but I think he really lets Pat break loose and have a bit of fun. The self-promotion, while it bothers some, is a bit of a schtick-- but with the dual purpose of amping the signal on what is a fantastic book and a really useful companion app. Pat's often referred to the "certain NES guidebook" on the podcast, so it doesn't surprise me to see it used here. It's also a good reference for the quick rundown of the games included on the Classic NES Mini. Always glad to see the Punk make a reappearance. I had a blast watching this episode.
It seems like every review online is from the point of view of somebody who is already involved in retro-gaming. And yeah, you acknowledge this, Pat. Thank you. But I have friends who think the system is dumb. I want to point out why I want an NES classic, as somebody who hasn't touched these games since childhood: 1. It's the easiest way to play the games legally. It has an HDMI connection and is literally plug and play, so it works on a modern TV without any hassle, at all. No downloading, no programming, no collecting, no old TV's or old cable setups, no researching online, no old worn out controllers, none of that. Just the old games. 2. It is 2 player and plays on a public TV, so multiplayer games work. Thus, it is a social system, like the original and unlike most emulators or the virtual console. 3. It's 30 great games for a good price. 4. It's small compared to an original NES and 30 cartridges, so takes very little storage. 5. It's more reliable than cartridges. 6. It visually looks like an old NES, so your other friends who haven't played video games since the early 90's will recognize it and want to play. It's not for the retro gamer, it's for the retro person.
Adam Keifenheim. Your friends sound like they are into the same old boring games like Call Of Duty 100 or Halo 17. I have lost interest with modern gaming because they are just boring to me nowadays. I have a much more fun time playing the Indie game Pong clone called Ping on my 360. I use my imagination on the game's story and characters. Nowadays game designers give you little room to use your imagination outside of Minecraft. If your friends aren't into the NES then it's their loss. You can't force someone to like anything.
I have to say, this and your Retron 5 review are probably among my favorite of your videos. I love how thorough you look at the hardware, I honestly wish you would do more of them. Thumbs up!
I welcome this return to form. I love the CUPodcast and all, but this goofy humour and format is what got me to subscribe to this channel in the first class. Bravo sir.
It's July 14, 2018, and I just bought a re-released NES Classic. :) When this first came out I was so sure that I would never get to see or touch one because I was broke and it was so limited, but after a year, Nintendo announced a second run, and I went into Gamestop where they hooked me up. I am sooooo grateful to have this in my collection! I had an NES when I was a toodler, and the only game I ever had was the Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt cartridge, and then it was lost. Later, I would find it again, and get to play some of the best games on the system and learn its impact on the gaming scene in the States. The first thing I did after I bought the Classic Edition before I got to play it was find and watch this video. Thank you Pat for making this video and doing what you do. Cheers!
I'm glad you took a shot at all the people who think they're saying something profound when they bring up Doki Doki Panic. We know, you guys. WE'VE ALL KNOWN FOR YEARS.
Great video Pat. Been watching you for years and I like all your content, but review videos like these and Flea Market Madness are by far my favorites. Keep making great content like this.
Here are some random quotes from this episode that were great! Santa: "I think that's binding" Frank: "I don't know what this thing is, but I am gonna scalp the hell out of it." Donkey Kong: "Still got paid." Pat: "Double Dragon 2 The Revenge begins with some..... TiTillation" Pat: "I once had excitement on my bike...I had to hose it off later" Donkey Kong: (whith his red face and his hilarious growing eyes) Types "Pat the NES Pig Misogynist" Pat: "It's hot robot on robot action..." "Pat doesn't like a video game that I like. That makes him a dumb dumb."
A certain NES guide book makes a cameo. Hahaha! Thank you for pointing out Mario Mania. It's driven me nuts for years that people on the internet treated the Doki Doki Panic thing as this closely guarded NOA secret, even though it wasn't. In fact, they confirmed it again in the pages of Nintendo Power when All-Stars came out just a couple years later.
FWIW when you said "the European one" I thought for a minute that there legit may have only been one released in Europe, similar to how there were only 40 released in american and 5 released in canada.
I noticed you said you wish there was a way to reset the NES Classic with a button combination. Try holding the select button on the controller and tapping down on the d-pad. Found this by accident.
This only works if you update the NES classic's firmware, which any serious gamer should do anyways since it now allows you to upload unlimited games =) github.com/ClusterM/hakchi2 For the program and info.
+Pat the NES Punk PAT! Thank you for being you and making all these videos that bring me so much comfort and joy. I bet your book is awesome. It has to be if its yours. Keep doing what you do. 😊
+Pat the NES Punk I was number 11 at a game stop that only had 12 NES classics. The girl who was behind me defended her NES classic like a guard dog. I thought they would have at least 1 or 2 hundred. The 1 or 2 hundred people on line behind us must have been quite upset.
we all know the real reason why Ian left the podcast, he couldn't stand Pat talking about that damn book all the time either. watch the videos when Pat mentions the book and look at Ians face... I'm messing around by the way and hope Ian gets better soon. I like Pat, even met the guy once at Too Many Games in PA. He wasn't slingin books like crack rocks at the time.
NES and SNES Classic Edition 2. Nintendo should only offer a memory card that contains the new games, and then installs them in your existing physical, 2017 console. For NES. 1. Silver Surfer 2. Battletoads For SNES. 1. Turtles in Time 2. Zombies Ate My Neighbours 3. Power Rangers 4. Super Double Dragon Those are the essentials for me. Considering licensing costs and stuff, I'd be willing to pay between $30 and $70 for each second version.
It's funny watching pats humor become more and more refined and adult throughout his many videos, "I once had excitement on my bike, I had to hose it off afterwards". 😂😂😂😂
Pat, you are the only guest I really like on Cinnemassacre. I watched James and Mike and stumbled across your page. Oh...bring more Flea Market Madness!!!
I saw a 9 foot cable NES Classic Controller at the Walmart I work at that had some turbo buttons on it... I think it was in the ballpark of $15? I was going to pick it up, but I ultimately have no use for it. It had some little cheat book with it, too, I believe.
Hello Pat. Not sure if you will read this. I have an Amazon fire with the Google Play store installed. Your app says it's not compatible. I'm sure it would run since everything else does. I wonder if it can be fixed. Thanks.
This might be well-known by now, but to anybody complaining about the length of the controller cords on the NES Classic, the Famicon Mini (which is the only version I could get here in Japan given it was available at all) has hard-wired controllers, in line with the original Famicon.
The parts of the game where it forces you to lose all your lives because it gets an identity crisis and thinks it's a platformer but doesn’t have the jumping responsiveness needed to get on the disapearing platforms.
I haven't seen my NES classic since something like the week after they came out. I introduced my dad to Bubble Bobble, and he's had my NES-C "borrowed" since.
Pat did go overkill with the app plug. Way overboard. A few brief mentions throughout the vid would have been more effective than a very long monologue about it.
I remember I was upset I want NES Classic Mini Edition for Christmas is all gone when I was a 15 and 16 year old teen since 2016 but now I finally had NES Classic Mini Edition on August 2019.
Harambe will never die in your heart. #RIPHarambe #NeverForget I'm just being funny, or not. This is my podcast if you want to check it out. (This is my active channel. I sub Pat on my personal channel)
Oh... I didn't know you still made these videos. I'm glad to see them still being produced. I would like to see more. I know they are much more difficult than the podcast stuff, but these things are great.
If you're annoyed by the plugs for Pat's book, I just have to say, the book is the most comprehensive and enjoyable catalog of video games I've seen. He put a lot (a lot) of effort into the guide, and it really shows. So let him shill his years' work for a few minutes, it'll be okay, I promise.
Spoken like a true turd, Jimel Quann.
Jimel Quann..............Ok?
Troll somewhere else Jimel.
Totally agree is the Best ever made videogame book I ever seen, I have it and enjoy so much looking in, I preorder the SNES Ultimate book !!
TedKennedyX this comment made me ask Santa for both books.

Amazing video!
Did you really catch Frank off guard? He looked genuinely startled at the end!
Super Mario Bros.3 and Galaga

I was lucky to find one at my local gamestop

"I punched some nerd in the face and security chased me out" HAHA funniest thing I've heard all day :D
My God, this video is part NES review, part book plug, part app plug and part Frank cameo. All that it needs now is a burrito.
I have to say, this and your Retron 5 review are probably among my favorite of your videos. I love how thorough you look at the hardware, I honestly wish you would do more of them. Thumbs up!

Frank:
I don't know what this is, but Im gonna scalp the hell out of it.
Great episode :D
Damn Rerez watches Pat
I like your channel. You have a great voice.
Man, I just love when Pat does these videos. There's never enough of them!
I'm glad you took a shot at all the people who think they're saying something profound when they bring up Doki Doki Panic.
We know, you guys. WE'VE ALL KNOWN FOR YEARS.
Great video Pat. Been watching you for years and I like all your content, but review videos like these and Flea Market Madness are by far my favorites. Keep making great content like this.
And I thought I would get "a certain Guide to the NES library" for Christmas. We all have disappoints to live with, Pat.
How many years has it been since an actual Pat the NES punk video instead of a podcast recap?
The Creep there was the X-men review a few months ago...
Aug. 1865 - I decided after serving in the Union Army I'd try another one.
Uhh, four months ago? The Uncanny X-Men video?
Dorelaxen. That was a great video and I didn't realize that it was his latest one. I don't see how Bootsy, Pat, James and Mike don't age at all.
This video was rad and I raced to it as soon as I saw it. Get it. Rad Racer...
Love you Pat.
Nice to see Frank partaking in some acting - Solid reviews, Pat.
atomicblueproductions Frank is in this!!?? It is a must watch now. I was only going to read the comments.
G*R*A*S*P
That's what Donkey Kong does with his . . . banana.
Lmao
Haha the mobile strike gag arnie gag made me LOL
Ugh... here comes the RetroPie propaganda.
John Riggs: RIGG'd Games Hakchi master race?
More like propaganda for a certain ultimate NES video game guide
I own a RetroPie _and_ a NES CE.
I have a retro pi built on the raspberry pi 3 model b. and zero input lag.
John Riggs: RIGG'd Games Oh and the retroblox is better?
All things aside, Pat can grow an impressive beard.
Here are some random quotes from this episode that were great!
Santa: "I think that's binding"
Frank: "I don't know what this thing is, but I am gonna scalp the hell out of it."
Donkey Kong: "Still got paid."
Pat: "Double Dragon 2 The Revenge begins with some..... TiTillation"
Pat: "I once had excitement on my bike...I had to hose it off later"
Donkey Kong: (whith his red face and his hilarious growing eyes) Types "Pat the NES Pig Misogynist"
Pat: "It's hot robot on robot action..."
"Pat doesn't like a video game that I like. That makes him a dumb dumb."
Frank having this LSD hippy flashbacks.
A certain NES guide book makes a cameo.
Hahaha! Thank you for pointing out Mario Mania. It's driven me nuts for years that people on the internet treated the Doki Doki Panic thing as this closely guarded NOA secret, even though it wasn't.
In fact, they confirmed it again in the pages of Nintendo Power when All-Stars came out just a couple years later.
This came outta no where! God bless you Pat!
"you got the stuff?" hahahaha love the Frank camios
This was really funny, Pat. Also, I never knew about your book or app until now. I will be buying both soon! I'd be happy for you to take my money.
The European one didn't come with a poster. Poo.
Rin mmmmm
Got some shitty My Nintendo coins tho... I can download a 3DS theme with that.... Whee...
I mean it's free but...the poster....
OK I'm just angry you got something I didn't...
FWIW when you said "the European one" I thought for a minute that there legit may have only been one released in Europe, similar to how there were only 40 released in american and 5 released in canada.
This video being 7 years old is absolutely shocking.
I noticed you said you wish there was a way to reset the NES Classic with a button combination.
Try holding the select button on the controller and tapping down on the d-pad. Found this by accident.
This only works if you update the NES classic's firmware, which any serious gamer should do anyways since it now allows you to upload unlimited games =)

iriez *wink* *wink* update ...lol
So, Pat? Are you going to work for Santa at the North Pole? With you looking like an Elf and all.
Dude you got to stop it with the book, was glad to see a review from you but had to stop it at the second book reference.
No.
+Pat the NES Punk PAT! Thank you for being you and making all these videos that bring me so much comfort and joy. I bet your book is awesome. It has to be if its yours. Keep doing what you do. 😊

Pat the NES Punk I'll pick up a copy eventually, i doubt I'll need to remind myself.

watch the videos when Pat mentions the book and look at Ians face...
I'm messing around by the way and hope Ian gets better soon. I like Pat, even met the guy once at Too Many Games in PA. He wasn't slingin books like crack rocks at the time.
Just bought the app. It's going to be EXTREMELY helpful when I'm out retro game hunting. Thanks for putting in the time and money to create this, Pat.
Good review Pat, always glad to see a Pat NES Punk episode, it has been way too long.
NES and SNES Classic Edition 2.
Nintendo should only offer a memory card that contains the new games, and then installs them in your existing physical, 2017 console.
For NES.
1. Silver Surfer
2. Battletoads
For SNES.
1. Turtles in Time
2. Zombies Ate My Neighbours
3. Power Rangers
4. Super Double Dragon
Those are the essentials for me.
Considering licensing costs and stuff, I'd be willing to pay between $30 and $70 for each second version.
No way!
It's the voice of the Glitch Gremlin!
LOL I thought the exact same thing.
It's funny watching pats humor become more and more refined and adult throughout his many videos, "I once had excitement on my bike, I had to hose it off afterwards". 😂😂😂😂
I SAW THE CAULTRON 6 in 1 REVIEW, PAT!!
LOL, perfect ending. "I don't know what this thing is but I'm gonna scalp the hell out of it." Frank is the best.
Pat's traumatized from not having a sick day at school, because he wanted to stay home and play video games.
"Outrage is a hobby." Pat will forever be my hero.
I love these videos, they are so freakin funny!! Another amazing video Pat!!
This review will now serve as a glorious reminder of a time gone by. And its already Retro! well done Pat!
100% agree aging sucks. Never grow old inside though!
11:30 "and just as many bad haircuts"
Proceeds to look at Pats hair...
Pat, you are the only guest I really like on Cinnemassacre. I watched James and Mike and stumbled across your page. Oh...bring more Flea Market Madness!!!
I saw a 9 foot cable NES Classic Controller at the Walmart I work at that had some turbo buttons on it... I think it was in the ballpark of $15? I was going to pick it up, but I ultimately have no use for it. It had some little cheat book with it, too, I believe.
Hahaha this is mos def the funniest Pat Punk vid I've seen. LOLing many times throughout!
The existence of Pat the NES Punk implies the existence of a parallel Japanese version, Pat the Famicom Punk.
2:52 Pat, what is up with that controller connector? Man...
No, I'm talking about the condition of that connecter...rust, dirt, and grime...
The Nostalgia Factor I was wondering the same hahaha
Lol yea I noticed that too
the nostalgia factor that looked like a knock-off controller to me
It's third party, that's why. Lol
Seeing DK Jr. just laying there after getting slain in Final Fantasy was funnier than it probably should have been. I was laughing uncontrollably.
Just got here is this what I think it is?!? Is this a Punk episode? Yess!!
that speculative trading skit was just perfectly said pat. These people need to be trolled badly. Speculative trading MY ASS
I've missed these videos...
Hello Pat. Not sure if you will read this. I have an Amazon fire with the Google Play store installed. Your app says it's not compatible. I'm sure it would run since everything else does. I wonder if it can be fixed. Thanks.
Seems that this confirms Frank is Pat's uncle
Pat was taking a shot at Angry Joe in that last bit.
The Konami Code doesn't fully work?? Wow. Huge let down.
I feel like you just put the camera on Frank and let him do his thing, no acting involved. What a guy!
Pat, if I bought your book on eBay from you (still waiting for it to ship), is the app still a completely separate purchase?
are the book and the app completely different things?
This might be well-known by now, but to anybody complaining about the length of the controller cords on the NES Classic, the Famicon Mini (which is the only version I could get here in Japan given it was available at all) has hard-wired controllers, in line with the original Famicon.
How is Double Dragon 2 not a 5 star game?
Or Ninja Gaiden???!!!
Randy he said punch-out was unplayable. and still gave it five stars
The parts of the game where it forces you to lose all your lives because it gets an identity crisis and thinks it's a platformer but doesn’t have the jumping responsiveness needed to get on the disapearing platforms.
Yup. That exactly. The jumping in Double Dragon games is ridiculous. I blow through all my lives trying to make some simple little hop.
Read the book and see why. :)
Frank is in the video and you made a Harambe joke. That's enough for me to give a like.
if you try to *EMULATE* (wow. my headphone)
Fuck I thought there was no lag. Everyone else said there was no lag in the reviews. Damn.
frank is a national treasure
WELCOME BACK PAT THE NES PUNK IT'S BEEN TOO LONG SINCE YOU DID A REVIEW AND NOW YOU'RE BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN,COLTON
E m u l a T e
I haven't seen my NES classic since something like the week after they came out. I introduced my dad to Bubble Bobble, and he's had my NES-C "borrowed" since.
i remember the caltron video!
I had those same sheets on your table. miss those sheets
lmao, Pat cracks me up
This might actually be the best Punk episode ever. Awesome job.
The disclaimer was the best part. FUCK Nintendo and their anti-consumer practices.
Very good video. I loved the Tyson chess scene. You put a lot of work into this one and the production has stepped up.
Pretty sure no one has ever said "pixelated pig sphincter in HD" before.
Man, this'll go great with my *certain NES video game guide*!
Love the "subtle" jab at the professionally offended 😂
That bone marrow joke killed me😂😂
screw the classic edition. id rather buy that huge ass nes book someone actually spent a lot of time on.
it's great to see a new pat the NES punk episode!
the nes classic edition needed more mach rider though
I gave up on trying to get this fucking thing, instead I got an Internet box to download Roms and just play all the games on that. Fuck Nintendo
JLynnsanity y Congrats Im sending that post to Nintendo, say goodbye to your roms.
And this is why people should pre order to get stuff they want immediately.
JLynnsanity y If you got some extra cash, get a AVS from retro USB, and a N8 everdrive flash cart. for the ultimate setup
JLynnsanity y I know fucking nintendo scalpers. I wanted to get my brother one, But I couldn't find it
what a total loser @branaa09 is
Fuck I thought there was something wrong with my speakers when you mentioned emulation haha XD
funny thing Franks a better actor than Pat....
68 US$ just for shipping the book to Germany? Really, is there no other way that sending it in a golden envelope studded with diamonds?
Hi Pat. Any chance of a happy birthday from you?
I'll wish you a happy birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Glad you're still alive!
Great video Pat, glad to see you decided to make it a PAT The NES Punk review out of this it turned out pretty damn good.
The entire video is a plug for the book and the app. There folks, I just saved 28 minutes of your life.
Holy shite! A legit NES Punk review? Happy early birthday to me! Thank you so much!
Still can't find one! SCREW YOU NINTENDO!!!!!!!!!!!
i lost it at you singing the balloon fight music hahahah!!
OH NO! Jr. is a SJW!
Best review I watched in a long time!
Apart from the review I don't like u always advertising ur app and book. I get u got to sell it but don't ruin reviews in ur videos.
then oh idk stop watching
Collecting Guru dumb fuck...it's his channel, his book, of course he's going to promote it...ANYONE WOULD! Fucking idiot.
ultimatenes.com to order!
Pat did go overkill with the app plug. Way overboard. A few brief mentions throughout the vid would have been more effective than a very long monologue about it.
ios.ultimatenes.com for iOS and droid.ultimatenes.com for Android!
I remember I was upset I want NES Classic Mini Edition for Christmas is all gone when I was a 15 and 16 year old teen since 2016 but now I finally had NES Classic Mini Edition on August 2019.
#DicksOutForHarambe
Harambe will never die in your heart. #RIPHarambe #NeverForget
I'm just being funny, or not. This is my podcast if you want to check it out. (This is my active channel. I sub Pat on my personal channel)
Oh... I didn't know you still made these videos. I'm glad to see them still being produced. I would like to see more. I know they are much more difficult than the podcast stuff, but these things are great.
where may I find the whole CD of Pat's songs? :)
Ah, 4 years ago…
Just feeling what that was like.
Before all the… stuff.
