This video is like a love letter to the earlier era of the internet when regular people would create a character or series and thrive. It's sad to me that it's mostly disappeared these days, replaced by an ocean of short, cheaply done videos... and it also means that much more when a gem like this is released. Thank you for your hard work over the years Pat.
I put off gaming for a long time (for many reasons), you’re one of the people who got me re hooked into Collection and gaming. You’re efforts don’t go unseen. Now I just need to buy your books.
Pat I've been watching you since the lady in spandex was domming you. I've emailed you with a question and you were super friendly. And I sometimes watch your twitch stream to relive the nostalgia of the 80s/90s. Thanks for making the internet a better place!
Perfect timing! Glad I could be here, congrats on 15 years Pat! Makes me feel my age. Still got the first DVD set and Pat the NES Punk wrist band that came with it. Love ya man.
Pat, I can never forget you! In fact, I wish you made more review videos cause your videos are always fun and enlightening! Not to mention you and the Nerd were the guys I started watching when I first got on TH-cam, which was around the time you started
Didn't realize I wasn't subbed (how odd). Thanks for doing this for so many years Pat, and thanks for showing support to what I do over the years. You're a huge part of this community and undoubtedly an inspiration to 100s of thousands. Also, thanks for buying my daughter's door hangers at Long Island Retro!
Im 37 years old I have been watching you periodically since the beginning. Good on you to never sell out your initial vision. You and James together is the best. I still pop by Cinemassacre as well
Fun fact Pat : Belgians and Frenches had a strange fascination about not so accurate US history like Lucky Luke, Blueberry and many others... North and South was a huge critical and commercial success over here in France.
Not only in France; have been collecting this comic since i was about 7-8. That is 35 years ago! Still think it is hilarious but also educational and pretty much anti-war.
Thanks for those 15 years, I know you put time money and effort on those videos but they are great. I have watched every single Pat Nes Punk episode more than once. Again thank you.
Congrats on 15 years of and thanks for all the fun, education, inspiration, and everything else :) I think that I've been subscribed to your channel since around 2009 or something like that :) I love that you still do these occasionally :D I wish you all the best!
Thank you so much Pat! The years of content you have given us is a wonderful contribution in all the knowledge you have about NES games and video games in general I along with the rest of us, never knew about growing up. Keep up the amazing content!
Of all the game review channels, nerd and pat are the only 2 I still watch. I wish pat the nes punk videos were more frequent cuz I love the content and that's why I'm subscribed, but I understand he has his reasons and his other projects. I'll just say I was thrilled to find this in my feed today
Love your videos. I'll be honest, I've been subbed for 8 years and your videos only show up every now and then. Great video and I'll try and do better and see your new content and watch your old stuff when I get a minute.
Perfect timing happened as a I was watching. I had music playing, and right when AVGN said “speaking of obsolete, I wonder what Pat’s been up to” and the scene cut back to Pat looking dejected, Operation Spirit by Live started playing “did you give it up, did you give it up, did you give up”. It matched up so perfectly with the video.
Great vid pat, miss seeing you on TH-cam regularly, been watching for about 11years since I found you through agvn, so was great to see a cameo in this vid. Congrats to 15yrs. Shout out to Frank and Ian!
I’m watching this late and woke up to Pat staring back at me. Then suddenly go into reviewing the next game like he was waiting for me to wake the hell up so he could continue. It was just bizarre and I honestly thought I dreamed the whole thing until I rewatched the video to see what I missed.
Thanks for continuing to do these! These videos always bring a smile to my face, and I've found quite a few little gems to add to my own collection thanks to you. Congrats on 15 years!
I'll never forget you, Pat. I won a digital copy of a certain NES guidebook at a convention once during one of your video game challenges. It was the highlight of my day!
North & South is still one of my favorite NES games. I loved it for being a Romance of The Three Kingdoms/Nobunaga's Ambition(ish) style game based on a period of American history that created a large part of my family. Thank you for taking the time to mention this game.
Platoon has a hidden scene from the movie (at the title screen) just don't press anything and let the song continue, it will eventually show you the scene.
I think it's because the era of the NES was a time of simplicity, and excitement. A time where everything felt as if you were LIVING in nostalgia. Rather than reminiscing. It's a reminder of how things used to be. Where you appreciated anything and everything, and was just happy to be alive. And that alone can never die. It'll never go away. You can't stop that train. It's a strong, passionate part of our culture and livelihood. Even into old age, we'll forever love our classics. You can never go wrong, and theirs nothing wrong with what you're doing. You'll always stay relevant. You're embedded into that nostalgia. Programmed into our subconscious. Now, whenever we think of retro's, you're tied into it. Whether you like it or love it lol. Happy 15th Anniversary Pat and Frank!!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Pat, Ian, and Frank. I remember when I first saw your videos all those years ago, along with AVGN. And I was super stoked to actually see somebody else out there like me and it made me feel warm and happy. For the 1st time I actually felt like I wasn't alone in my nerdy world. I've also been thru a lot of drama thru these years and I can always rely on your videos to take my mind off of the worlds problems. So truly thank you for all the hard work you've done. Here's to another 15 years 🎉😊
Just realized how confusing the Loops bit will be for anyone that didn’t see the review lmao. Thanks for all your effort over the years, man. Punk vids are my favorite bit of your content, tbh. Still the best game reviews on the platform imo. Your books, though, are second to none. Still being used as my buying guides lol. Keep on rocking, my brother, in the name of armpit magic.
Just unwinding, having fun and learning about our past along the way. That's what it's always been about. And sometimes that's enough to help people at the end of the day. Give them a laugh so we can keep going to work and pursuing our passions. Thanks pat and every one else that's helped you along the way!
This is old school lol. I watched pat 15 years ago in middle school, then grew up and did my thing, and just now I found this video. Its full circle and still as good as it used to be. Still want his book too will look into it next payday.
For what it's worth I appreciate it. Every now and again I put on the whole playlist. And my mom used to drive me to the flea market all the time and I hated it probably because I didn't have any money but I even caught myself watching flea market Madness quite a bit haha. Thanks for the many years and for Frank. Cheers
Every time I've seen ancient aliens, whether I try to watch it myself or I walk in when someone else is watching it they are always talking about a stone wall that they think is a stargate. They have like 10 seasons but somehow that is the only thing I've ever seen.
NINJA CRUSADERS! I played that game as a kid and thought it was super cool because of the animal transformations. I have attempted to find it off and on for years, and could never figure out the name of the freaking game! Thank you!
Ninja crusaders has always been one of my favorite nes games, so underrated in my opinion. It was pretty hard tho. As was North and South. Such a great game!
I love your Pat the NES punk videos Pat. I binge watch your original episodes from time to time. I've mentioned this before , as a fan of avgn, I always enjoyed your videos and humor more than his. And I found your videos more funny without the need of unnecessary cursing and toilet humor. I'm not sure if you would still read this, but in case you do..I like to love to see a modern your game collection videos/series but in the same style and humor as the original pat the NES punk "my NES collection" series Also I encourage you do the longer intro with that song like in earlier videos, as they are very uplifting and set a really happy tone and exciting anticipation for the episode ahead Also, Don't underestimate how much your videos entertain and lift people's moods Pat. So Thankyou again for your uplifting classic style Pat the NES punk/flea market madnesses which has helped during hard times. So keep up the good work!! 👍👍 Hope that helps !! P.s you haven't aged 1 day either from since your started, you may have few grays and if you dyed your hair black you can still pass as a 29y.o.- most of us 40 y.os lose their hair so I'm jealous of how well you aged Take care Pat 👍✌️
Probably Pat's best video in quite awhile. It's good and he didn't seem to be forcing his character. Anyways, always love your videos and hope to keep seeing more soon! You can always review the SEGA :D
I thought this was far below his Normal quality. Rehashed content to fill out the video, lacking substance and thought to why he chose specific games. Felt like he phoned this one in.
Pat I haven't watched you in a long time life got crazy but I came back and it's nice to see you're not trying to be something you're not keep it up we need this more than ever
15 years?!?! We've all been watching this show for 15 years?!?! Oh god! Even if someone was 10 years old, they'd be 25 now?!?! I get this weird vibe that none of us were 10 years old when this show began and that means we're all........ old. This went from a youtube celebration to personal mourning really quick!!! 🤣
Well damn it, Frank is right about Instagram being bullshit. Thanks for making these for 15 years (so far). It's been fun so far and I look forward to your next bout of silliness.
That was awesome mate, great to see ya again doin what ya do best :) As we get older we sometimes question what we've been doing over the past decades and where it was all going. The classic answer is of course, 'The journey is more important than the destination'. So here's to another 15 years of pat and all the great video game reviewers out there!
Thanks for following along. If you want to check out my books and stuff: ultimatenintendo.com
"There's no return from '86"
-BAD RELIGION
... ... ... ... ... ... ... and now Frank taught us all why!!
Always.
Classic pat!🎉
great video pat btw, I've watched you ever since I saw you on your first appearance on AVGN
So I’d buy that game. Let’s get it made.
This video is like a love letter to the earlier era of the internet when regular people would create a character or series and thrive. It's sad to me that it's mostly disappeared these days, replaced by an ocean of short, cheaply done videos... and it also means that much more when a gem like this is released. Thank you for your hard work over the years Pat.
The greatest contribution Pat ever gave, was public awareness of Frank's existence.
I put off gaming for a long time (for many reasons), you’re one of the people who got me re hooked into Collection and gaming. You’re efforts don’t go unseen. Now I just need to buy your books.
Frank is a very wise man. Pat needs to listen.
😂
Get rid of your underwear
"I dunno what instagram is" MY MAAAAAAN!
I fear for the 85 who ain’t got a clue.
Frank is awesome lol
Pat I've been watching you since the lady in spandex was domming you.

"Please pretend to care!" 😂
I will always care about the Pat the NES Punk series as long as you keep doing them!
Didn't realize I wasn't subbed (how odd). Thanks for doing this for so many years Pat, and thanks for showing support to what I do over the years.

Been watching since year one! Congratulations on 15 years!
Have his book? I do.
@@rfcbass6810 😆 yep 👍
Comment: So 15 years huh..
Pat: It's been a whiiiile
i've ended up doing that now too. the song is a real earworm
Enjoyed this taste of the NES Punk's mid life crisis. Thanks Pat. been here for years, and happy to enjoy whatever else you got.
Yo that "Bad Reputation" MIDI is pretty sweet at the end
Oooh you’re still alive. Good for you 🎉
I finally got my copy of stadium events today
remember first watching you in 2010, thanks for sticking around and reviewing the retro games we all love
Congrats on 15 years of and thanks for all the fun, education, inspiration, and everything else :) I think that I've been subscribed to your channel since around 2009 or something like that :) I love that you still do these occasionally :D I wish you all the best!

TH-cam recommended your video for me, and I like what I'm seeing. I'm subscribing and look forward to seeing what else you put out.
Of all the game review channels, nerd and pat are the only 2 I still watch. I wish pat the nes punk videos were more frequent cuz I love the content and that's why I'm subscribed, but I understand he has his reasons and his other projects. I'll just say I was thrilled to find this in my feed today

Loved this video! The NES reality and clips at the end were cute. Happy 15th brutha!
Thanks for everything Pat! Keep making these until you're 88. You've still got it.
Thanks for continuing to do these! These videos always bring a smile to my face, and I've found quite a few little gems to add to my own collection thanks to you. Congrats on 15 years!
I'll never forget you, Pat. I won a digital copy of a certain NES guidebook at a convention once during one of your video game challenges. It was the highlight of my day!
You will never be forgotten Pat! You have always been my favorite TH-camr and that will never change! 🍻
I Appreciate all you’ve done to keep bums like us entertained for these years. Thanks Pat!
North & South is still one of my favorite NES games. I loved it for being a Romance of The Three Kingdoms/Nobunaga's Ambition(ish) style game based on a period of American history that created a large part of my family. Thank you for taking the time to mention this game.
Congrats Pat! Fantastic achievement your sense of humour always shines through on everything you’ve done.
Happy 15th! I've been watching all along and you even featured me in a video when I found a SE in the wild and posted my find on NintendoAge!
Happy 15th birthday !!!! Ur the man Patty!!

Thanks for all the content over the years here's to another 15 plus years
Thanks for everything Pat and all the memories therein; you changed my life for the better and taught me so much about my favorite hobby.
TWO Untouchables labels?! Mind-blowing, unexpected, titillating information only presented by Pat, and otherwise lost to the annals of history.
Thank you Pat, Ian, and Frank. I remember when I first saw your videos all those years ago, along with AVGN.

Congrats on 15 years, Pat. My first vid was M82 FTW when you showed it at SGC. Been a loyal fan ever since.
I don’t get the long still pauses, he’s done it in videos before. Can someone explain it please?
Gives you a chance to laugh and clap.
Just unwinding, having fun and learning about our past along the way. That's what it's always been about. And sometimes that's enough to help people at the end of the day. Give them a laugh so we can keep going to work and pursuing our passions.

this is one of the few videos to unintentionally make me cry
Frank is a treasure. Send him our love and thanks for being a part of the channel
so stoked for this!! congrats pat!
“Eliminator Boat Duel!!!” Loved that game growing up. Spent so many hours playing it.
Beautiful! I bought your NES and SNES books! Such great quality. So excited for the 64 book!!!
Congrats on 15 years!
You know who I just realized Pat kinda looks like? Chris Lord Alge (the mixing engineer). For some reason I've never noticed that until now.
Love you guys.
Great video, Pat! Congratulations on 15 years of awesomeness!
Unforgettable.
I'm glad you came back to reviews. I don't even care to watch the podcast ones. Great job, keep going.
Yes comeback James and pat
Love your stuff. And I will keep watching it
Uncle Frank likes free balling. That explains why he's always so laid back
Wow Pat,15 years, congrats, and cheers for 15 more
This is old school lol. I watched pat 15 years ago in middle school, then grew up and did my thing, and just now I found this video. Its full circle and still as good as it used to be. Still want his book too will look into it next payday.
Pat and Frank the best duo!
15 years of The Punk! So happy James got in there. Happy anniversary!
For what it's worth I appreciate it. Every now and again I put on the whole playlist.

havent seen a vid from this channel in forever, i remember watching really regularly forever ago, ending part kinda hit me in the feels
I've played Ninja Crusaders dozens of times and had no idea you could transform into different animals. Congratulations, Pat!
NINJA CRUSADERS! I played that game as a kid and thought it was super cool because of the animal transformations. I have attempted to find it off and on for years, and could never figure out the name of the freaking game! Thank you!
Pat, did you find Guardian Legend to be a forgotten great gem?
I think I'm the only one who plays Guardian Legend more than the first Legend of Zelda.
Thanks for sharing your passion and completing the library of video games culture ❤
Ninja crusaders has always been one of my favorite nes games, so underrated in my opinion. It was pretty hard tho. As was North and South. Such a great game!
Hahah awesome stuff! Thanks for mentioning Eliminator Boat Duel, one of the best racing games on the NES for sure! Also one of my childhood favorites!
I think 15 has marks a great ending point for Pat the NES Punk. Can't wait to meet Pat the SNES Punk.
Glad to see you still doing you Pat!

We all love you guys. Pat and Frank provide some of the best content on TH-cam. Heres to many more years!
Which AVGN episode is that?
I have LAN parties at my house a couple times a year and at every one we take a break from the PC gaming to have a Super Dodge Ball tournament.

Congrats on the 15 years Pat! Thanks for all the fun episodes! I still have the wristband I got from the first time I met you in Syracuse 2016! :D
