I love how this guy goes always an extra mile for his videos, like the cameos, the nice facts, the multi platform coverage and the nice and fun edits and the hilarious skits , and 26 minutes of goodness, and that intro was pure fire!
Many thanks on that! Behind the scenes, this episode was a beast to pull together
I MADE THE INTRO THANK YOU!
@@irategamer and u take time to like and heart and reply to fans, how awesome can u get ?
@@sTaRaTslivevil nope, thank u !
@@EpicLebaneseNerd really tho chris is prob one of the most humble and genuine youtubers,
Glad to see Chris never let the haters get to him and that he is still making vids.
For sure! Been many years but his style has never changed! Chris is the real deal!
Yo random!!
I totally mentioned you in a video I did about a week or so ago (it's called Forgotten TH-cam channels) but I totally mention how you are back now and kicking ass!
Whenever I see Zach Galligan in interviews on dvd/blu ray bonus features, or on this video for example, he's always such a sweet and awesome person.
Awesome, you could really tell that a lot of work went into this. Also, by far the best cameo so far.
Agreed! Zach was amazing
@@irategamer paying someone on Cameo isn't amazing. Anyone can get it for money.
This video has been one of the most emotional ones ever seen on YT since YEARS!
Love your stuff Chris, I can't find the right amount of times needed to say "Thank You" and express how much grateful I am about your comeback on YT.
Gremlins was a smash hit here in Europe, and that's the reason why you find all these exclusives for the european market!
Cheers,
RGMNC
"Yep I can't move a fucking inch before dying" That got me good x)
@@jamalgordon8883 Well their synomosis really. But different. It's like two flavors of ice cream and they both good 🤗
Wow, this was a really good old school review. You should be proud bruh. A lot of these old timers and new guys haven't been able to replicate that early youtube magic. For whatever reason... Your video is the closest i've seen to it being done again. Good work.
Gosh that is the best comment by far. Thank you for the great compliment
That intro is freaking amazing, keep it forever! :P That was so cool that you had Zach Galligan in the video, if you have a full interview, hope u can upload it later.
I love this videos, they have a 2010/2013 style.
OG youtubers keeping the OG style. While most of the OG guys quit or moved onto other styles (as referenced in the early episodes of this season), Chris has stayed pretty consistent in his style and I respect that.
Ah yes! Me too
I'm constantly hearing people say this tundra critic is the most 2010 TH-cam or as an installed I'm just like but that's like really good 2010 youtubers like objectively better.I grew up when everything was becoming a first person shooter but I went back and played the old platformers on the N64 and super Nintendo let me tell you there are a lot more fun I think 10 or 20 years from now kids will think the same way about pre 2012 TH-cam.
New intro awesome story behind the Mountain Dew commercial and Gremlins games plus Ronnie hells yeah I'm pumped up for this season of The Irate Gamer
Digging the new intro! Also, that's so awesome that you got Zack Galligan (AKA "Billy") to make a cameo in this episode! Regarding "Gremlins 2" on NES, it's definitely a hidden gem, but yeah, the later stages are VERY frustrating at times.
Wow ! Irate you never cease to amaze me. Followed you a long time and your passion is just so great to watch. It really shines trough in your videos. Some other gigants has gone a little stagnant. You! You just level Up everytime it seems. These cameos is really amazing too, half your time must be finding these guys.
Keep this up mr ! Much Love from Sweden .
PS. Your stories and memories you share during most videos is what really pushes your videos further. Atleast for me :)
One of my earliest memories was listening to a record of Gremlins. It was kind of like a book on vinyl, so to speak. Yeah, this was in the 80s, but somehow this movie was made into an audio book on vinyl.
Those damn books were scary! The narrator took everything so seriously, and the humor in the movies was pretty much removed! I was terrified of Gremlins for decades because of those books and records! Looking back though, the art in them was REALLY good!
I had that too, came from arbys
Love the content Chris! Saw the email you sent James on his latest vid, and thought I'd revisit for old times sake. Stoked to see you're still here.
There is so much effort and love put in this episode. It's insane!
The title screen from the C64 gremlins looks AMAZING!
Love the new intro, man! Fantastic episode, the production value of your skit is off the charts. Great work! Excited to see new episodes! I love Gremlins. I met Zach at a con once, super nice guy. Looking forward to the next episode!
man, i can't believe he forgot to mention the Gremlins DLC for LEGO Dimensions, but still a great review.
I was thinking that too! I've never personally played that, but it looked like it was really good and played like most other LEGO games (which is pretty solid).
That new intro is freaking amazing. How can anyone not love The Gremlins movies? I played the heck out of the Nes game back in the day. Not so much the other versions though. And even though Sunsoft made hits and stinkers their soundtracks were always killer in every Nes game they made. Awesome to see Zach in this too. Cheers Chris!
8:47 Koolaid Man watch!
Nice to see homages to previous episodes!
Great episode!
That buttered ice cream story put one hell of a smile on my face. It was a heartwarming delight to see Zach Galligan reminiscing too! Thanks for continuing to put these videos out, Chris, and keep up the good work. :D
I'm surprised that James Rolfe hasn't reviewed these games on AVGN yet. Although he and Mike Matei played the Gremlins 2 game on an episode of James and Mike Mondays.
@@jamalgordon8883 Used to be, still good, just not as funny anymore I find.
@@jamalgordon8883 I do. Been following him since Simon's Quest came out video came out
@@jamalgordon8883 I thought you found him the best
@@jamalgordon8883 Nah he sucks. Treated his friends like crap and hired other people to do the bulk of the work for AVGN because he's too lazy.
@@jakejoker1988 Really, you all are just upset that he's not the same as he was from back then when you clearly know he's a father now, raising 2 daughters. Had it not been for James Rolfe, many of these gamers (including Irate Gamer) you enjoy on TH-cam wouldn't even exist. Because back then when we had interest in video games, we'd only watch boring as hell interviews instead of shows today like "Ready Player One" and the like.
I really enjoyed this episode. It might be one of my favorite of all time, actually. I kind of hate these cameos that people pay for because they always come off as so cheap and disingenuous but in this case I think it actually worked out really well because you asked the right questions. I loved his personal story about seeing himself in the game, and how frustratingly hard Gremlins II was....a good game by the way. Your china town opener was also great, and I don’t know, I just really felt like you hit every beat perfectly in this one. Loved it!
Hey Chris, stumbled upon your channel again after many years. Congrats on making videos again. I won't lie, I was a hater back in the day but upon watching your videos again I can honestly say that I enjoy them, especially anything that has to do with video game history. I think it's clear now that you were not acting maliciously way back when and were only trying to take advantage of an opportunity that you were given. That kind of stuff is commonplace on TH-cam now, you'd be crazy NOT to capitalize on being featured. Sorry for the blind hate, and good luck on your future videos!
He's kept his style, just like AVGN! So fitting that they did a crossover recently. :)
That's a cool post man, thanks for taking the time to do it!
Gremlins 2 on NES is 1 of my all time fav games. The music and controls are an absolute blast... my only complaint is that the game is not long enough. A few more stages and a couple more bosses would of made it perfect
Yeah its good and very good, good video TV game.
you were the first youtube channel i ever subscribed to. i hope you’re doing well. the irate gamer will forever be a youtube legend to me.
please continue to make these awesome vids. You give the best nostalgic vids we need.
You got it!
Gremlins 2 for NES is the best Gremlins game by far. It's excellent, and looks like it could be on a 16-bit console.
yeah it better good and great, very good and great game. It's a good game. I like the game. Good.
this….was…..AWESOME! Well done, dude!
If there's one thing I like about IRATE Gamer, is his voice. Lmao
He doesn’t age either.
Sure got a purdy mouth
The Irate Gamer must have a lot of money if he's able to get actors from cameo.
To be fair, most of them are like...actors who long out lived their relevance. While respected, I don’t think they’re in much position to charge any legal fees, not big ones anyway. If I’m wrong can someone correct me?
@@ramenbomberdeluxe4958 some of the people on Cameo are actually reasonably priced and some of them charge insane prices. Zach is only $40. Ernie Hudson is $135. Peter Weller is $250. I could be wrong but I think Zach is probably the cheapest cameo that Chris bought.
@@franks8010 Okay that makes sense then. Still, nice of them to let him hire them on at all
@Lassi Kinnunen 81 Fair, but for celebrity standards, it’s nice that for just some Internet game review channel that isn’t even a top channel these days, they even let him at all. Never underestimate the Hollywood ego
@Lassi Kinnunen 81 That’s fine, thanks for clearing it all up for me
I love how you did the C64 version! I had this one as a kid!
You put so much in your videos. Thks Chris for the entertainment...
glad to see you're still pushing out these master piece videos chris! im an old fan from your early days on youtube. found your tmnt nes review back in like 06-07 and knew i found a gem (:
great episode overall. on par with the quality and heart that we expect from a content producer. if you have the time, please do a behind the scenes and talk about the software programmes that you use along with the technical specs
New intro is pretty wicked.
This has to be one of your best videos!
That intro was fucking awesome!!
Great job yet again man. Very entertaining video. New intro is awesome man!
The ammount of work you put on your videos are amazing, i follow since long ago, and iam extremly happy to see new content from you.
I never thought I'd be doing more.
FANTASTIC! Loved it Chris, thank you for continuing to put out Irate gamer episodes
when he say before midnight,I knew somehow daylight savings will be the issue haha
I wana play that intro as a video game btw!
This is my favorite episode so far. I've watched it about a dozen times already.
Great new intro! Your videos are the best!
I loved that GBA game as a kid! Nice review Chris.
Loved the review! And man, Zach is such a chill awesome friendly guy! Glad you got to do a video with him!
Your quality keeps getting so much better dude. Great job!
Here we go Bright lights camera action hooray good for you buddy
I paused this and played all through Gremlins 2 on the NES with infinite balloons and life what a great game 👍🏾🙏🏽🤘🏾Now back to the show 👍🏾
Another great review! Love the intro, too. Cheers.
12:03 right after Chris says "just listen to this" an ad started.
Holy coincidences Batman!!
I remember the commercial, because my favorite quarterback Tom Brady won his 7th Superbowl and I didn't know where the person and what the thing was from, and now I know after watching this video, so thanks Irate gamer
this dude in the cameo seems a lot cooler than a certain buster of ghosts. he started just talking from the heart that seemed extremely genuine
He obviously paid him to say those words.
I love your videos. I died laughing when you ambled in wearing the costume
Hey Chris, is it still possible to buy the Irate Gamer season DVD's? I noticed they're gone from Etsy, I was wondering if production stopped for good or if it's just temporary. Ever thought about doing a blu-ray? I'd buy it.
Beating the game boy game as a kid was a big pride of mine.
Of course I had to learn the obstacles by heart, but sometimes you'd randomly find a trick that would make things easier.
Like for the 1st boss for example (shown in the video): just stay on the 4th block starting from the right and keep pushing the button. You shouldn't get too much hits, and if your life bar is high enough, the fight should be over pretty quick!
Great review Chris. Really a lot of fun. Just as a By the By.. the music in the NES Gremlins 2 is NOT movie based. If you watch other reviewers (like 'Movies to Video Games Reviews' and the similar) they compare the music. Its in the vain of and similar but definitely not the movie theme.
Sunsoft does not pay to get the rights to the music from the movie for their games. They come up with their own awesome sounding music that is in the style but definitely not the movie theme when all is said and done. But great review. I really enjoyed it. Can't wait for more!
Great intro, but man this episode is even better. Stinger episode was fun and laid back, this one has everything best from Irate Gamer. You would think that after AVGN fall in quality and laziness, fake rage and tired acting with boring shots, IG return might go this way, but no... Here, it gets better. The only nitpick I have is game genie rant and acknowledging those people calling you a hack for it - you play the game however you want it and you still have more skill than IGN, Polygon or other site reviewer. I wonder why those people don't jump on those hacks and instead eat up all their 10/10 scores with special journalist difficulty setting, to the point that they have to defend the reviewer and the score, when actual good review should stand by its own.
Great episode and it was worth the wait. For something of this quality, I can wait a month or two and I think everyone will agree, especially when you can feel by watching it that YOU have fun making it, making this episode even more enjoyable to watch and without overall negativity or nihilism making those watching feel depressed or angry.
Irate Gamer episodes just get better n better
Michelangelo : " dude I'm not
a Gremlin no way I'm a turtle . "
Macoy : " I'm a
doctor not a monster hunter . "
I'd say this video has the Gizmo seal of approval!
Another fantastic video IG!
Hey,Chris these videos are awesome!Keep them coming!
It's about time we got a frustrated retro game reviewer here on yt. Subbed.
I like to correct you on something. Gremlins Gizmo vs. Stripe was released in the states and not just a European regional exclusive. I should know this because I own the gba north America game.
@Experience Gamer Go on ahead and you will see what I am talking about.
That 5200/C64 version was very popular in Poland, and it was one of first games my late father played on Atari 800XL. :)
I love that you still got the same energy and top tier profanity that you had when you started youtube. I love your content. Never change.👍👍
Many thanks. Glad you guys still watch
When this video came up on my notifications, I clicked as fast as I can
Same 😁
Hope you're doing well, friend. Always excited for new reviews :-)
As someone who was a hater when you started I can see I was wrong and am glad you are still making videos keep it up!
Where you at man? Look forward to your videos
@Derran Thervese how do you know he working on a big project?
New episode and I'm early to it once, always excited to see a new video!
So many Gremlins games that I never heard of before! Possibly for good reason in some of the cases, anyway. The NES one always holds a dear place in my heart. Sunsoft games in general had some of the best soundtracks the NES had and also tended to be more difficult than a lot of other games and this was no exception. Might have to dig my copy out and give it another run!
Keep up the good work irate gamer! And remember never play nes games after midnight!
I wonder how many of these celebrities from Cameo actually know their video is going towards a Irate Gamer review. I'm not saying I'm against it, but I'm just curious if any of them become aware of it afterwards.
That's a good ass question.
I'm sure they don't care. They are basically whoring themselves out there for money.
@@The_Bad_Guy. Actually, David Hayter got himself into trouble with Konami because he used to say goofy and funny things in his Solid Snake voice just to make the fans happy, but after he did a Cameo where he quoted some Mortal Kombat line or said something about Mortal Kombat in the Snake voice, it was shown at a legit video game announcement event and people thought Snake was confirmed for MK, and that really angered Konami, so he's reduced to only doing happy birthdays and congratulations and whatnot. Same with Christopher Randolph. He made a political statement in Octacon's voice and that didn't go too well either.
The key and peele sketch sketch about gremlins 2 perfectly describes how that movie was made, and I love it even more and more each year
Intro and cameos Irate signature.
The Cameo stuff is great so was the intro. If you want a straight to the point review then go somewhere else. Many other options available mate
Ronnie's back! Also can you review Dragon Power on the NES and the history behind this game?
Great video! I remember the Amiga version being fun, too. It was really hard and I think similar to the C64 version but with better graphics and sound. Do you have any plans to review Amiga games? It was a great system with so many good (and bad) games!
I wanna see Chris play Burgertime with burger andy.
ya know what? im glad your happy and doing something you like, man, good on ya.
Weirdly enough, it was approaching midnight when I first saw this video and I didn't even know it.
It's awesome to see Zach in this video.
I hope you will do a powerclove video with Jacky Vinson!
The email you sent James was so sweet. 🤗
Many thanks!
@@irategamer I just saw that too and almost had forgotten about this channel.....any updates on future videos?
@@bmwolgas He says he's releasing a new one next week!
As weird as it may sound, I think a good idea for a 3rd "Gremlins" film is to have the monsters kidnap Gizmo & force food down his gizzard after midnight & becomes a Gremlin himself & the rest of the plot is Billy figuring out a way to reverse the process, but that's just my goofy idea. ;p
Excellent intro IG
Holy shit I finally found you again after like 3 years of searching lmaoo
“Yep, I cant move an inch before dying... Stamp of Approval!” - Nintendo Play Tester 1990 👍
I think your reaching new heights for this show!! Love it 🤟🤟
Thank you very much! I loved that line too
Classic. I remember watching this irate episode back in 2009
The Gremlins also made a cameo in a Mountain Dew ad
“But it comes with a free frogurt!”
thank you for not doing an asian stereotype in the intro scene lolol
Gremlins 2 is one of the rare sequels better than the original
Do you talk about the game? Because the first movie is definitely better. I have a lot of nostalgia for Gremlins 2, but it is a flawed movie in its core. Not even Robert Picardo can change that.
I had a dream last night where I didn't pawn Doom and Q-Bert for the SNES.
You get more cameos than AVGN and Nostalgia Critic, not even AVGN has ever gotten Zack Galligan and Ernie Hudson despite how many videos of Ghostbusters and Gremlins he has done!
Sweet... Welcome back bro... Still looking for Evil Gamer the one with the hat....
I'll only do it if it makes sense, like with the sage elder
Will you please bring back the irate gamers history of video games?
If I do, they would be stand alone episodes like the nes launch titles
@@irategamer Hey Chris. If you do bring back The History Of Video Games Series in the future where would you start?
This was one of your best episodes. Great job.
I wasn't so sure about inserting Cameo vids into these but this one actually came off pretty natural and fit well with the flow
Chris we miss you on TH-cam, let's hope there's a few more to come to season 8 you and James are the last of the Mohicans
