Some of the prices of the games he got have jumped up at a high rate, for example I spotted casino kid 2, I wouldn't know what the value was back in 09, but I know it's somewhat pricey now
Instruction manuals for video games will never be the same. I remember getting Pokemon Blue and it came with a mini trainer's guide which tells you a back story, controls for the game, etc.. When I bought Pokemon Omega Ruby there was no instruction manual for the game. Just instructions on how to use your 3DS...
I guess it's more convenient for them since they don't spend as much making the booklet and everything. And it helps the environment too. But yeah i agree, it sucks. Everything is digitalised now. Sad :(
"This has already gone on too long" Flash forward 7 years, James spends close to an hour showing us his video collection. You should do an updated video on the games, I really want to see what you have from other consoles.
"To those of you who donated, consider this video my personal thanks" Even though I was never able to donate any games, that hit me in the feels. Here's a like! Also at 2:02 that thing LOOKS like a motion tracker for top loaded NES consoles, but I could be HORRIBLY mistaken. Take that with a grain of salt.
+Daniel 316 I know James has a re-production cart of the game, and I believe a gray/silver one as well. Pat however is one of the very few who happens to own a gold cart of it, along with a gray too.
I think it was because they had a common label with the checkout barcode and just slapped it on everything. I remember seeing them on DVDs. The clerks at the stores thought it was dumb, too.
Niko Teixeira He released this video back in early 2009, when his contract was under long negotiations with GameTrailers and Screwattack. Prior to this, 2007 and 2008 were when he released TWO AGVN videos EACH month. That was insane to do, given how they kept on getting bigger and more involved.
It's nice to see that passion which started in your childhood still goes on! People know that these games will have "better life" in your place. Great to see that after all we're one big family of gamers :) Cheers James!
One of the coolest things about your collection, which was awesome 10 years ago and is probably insane now, but one of the coolest things is your 70's basement in this video. That linoleum tile floor and wood paneling is retro gold. Every basement in my neighborhood was exactly like yours in this video and I remember them being filled with Atari 2600's and dark wood furniture and flower patterns. Completed with an old TV in a full wood case. Man, the Nostalgia is strong with your videos, and now 10 years later, there's a 2nd layer of Nostalgia. You are one of the premier creators on TH-cam. I hope you keep up the the videos, reviews, and even the Movie store thing you are doing now is refreshing. Thank you for all you have done, and I hope you keep it up.
Watched the video with my Guide to the NES library book by Pat Contry, and was surprised of seeing new stuff as that Hell Fighter! Congrats for the awesome collection, never saw something so complete before!
You guys at cinemassacre are an inspiration dude. Love the James and Mike Mondays, the reality of the situation makes the comedy so authentic. Your scrpited content and films are great too, but i personally find the back and fourth from you and Mike enjoyable as hell, Keep em coming and thanks for the entertainment!
Seeing this made me teary eyed. such dedication to an old gaming console. I still have my PS2 from 2002. I'll never be able to collect for this system, but I will try damn it
I often find many "Temporary Infatuations" with TH-cam channels but there is something captivating about AVGN. May you become a TH-camr legend off in the distant future when our descendants are discussing the days of Antiquity and things like "TH-cam".
oh back in my day of 2009, them mother fucking 1tb drives were demons and shit. me and batman had to mo fockin wrangle us a 1tb drive from hade's butthole and have avgn bless it with his curse words, which would turn the 1tb drive into a super tronic electric magnetic titty that we would insert into the computer, which of course, would get the computer pregnant with memory babies. so that, my friend, is what 1tb drives were like in 2009. it was crazy, man
10 years later and still have a loyal following. This video shows why he has a loyal fan base. It's, because how sincere and greatful he is towards his fans. You don't see that from a lot of people nowadays.
I’m 11, the profile you see is my dad, I know it’s not okay that I’ve been watching this guy for 2 years now, but then again I don’t care, thank you James, and thanks for all the amazing vids you had made. (:
I guess I was the only kid back then who kept the boxes to store the games in when I wasn't playing them. To me they were like the Holy Grail of Kid-dom and I valued them above my own life until I was probably 12 years old.
Yes, I am a collector and a gamer. Yesterday, I played Milon's Castle and got all the way to the second turd boss, before I gave up. Ah well, I will beat it one day!!
I kept the boxes for a bunch of Gameboy Advance games because I was old enough to realize value when that handheld system came out. I'm saving the boxes for maybe two decades, and then collectors can have at them with the games. :)
In case nobody pointed it out in the past 10+ years The HES 'Little Red' cart is a 'piggyback' cart, it was a method of bypassing authenticity measures, you plugged an official cart into it which verified the use which enabled access to the unofficial content
+Mr.Sheepington That was my favorite game. I especially liked the level where you played as Saddam Hussein, going around shooting titanium rocket jockstraps.
***** man New Super Call of Duty: Modern Advanced Black Ghosts at War and Knuckles and The Mystery of the Missing Hotpot Recipe: Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series that sucks
Wow, this brings me back, when a hard drive which stored 1 TB was a huge deal when its commonplace for a laptop to now at a standard to have that kind of storage space. Time really does amaze me sometimes.
Someone tell James! Use a hairdryer to heat up the stickers; they peel right off! Use goof-off, goo-gone or a similar surface prep to clean off sticker residue. It will clean off most magic marker as well. I restored a Legend of Zelda Gold Cart this way and it did not damage the paint
So I know you've probably watched the documentary NINTENDO QUEST. Where this huge fan of Nintendo was on search to own and purchase every single Nintendo game ever made. Really awesome documentary!
I always love seeing that little gray Mario entertainment stand. I had the other version with the vertically-long swinging door that had the full-body Mario sticker on it.
“I take good care of my games” immediately followed by the drill clip.
I’m dead
Drill AND hammer! =D
he REALLY takes good care of his NES games 'coz he F**king smashs 'em all with a HAMMER and ruins their plastic case with a DRILL
that game sucked, he has an excuse.
Subtlety at it's finest...
It's been 8-9 years AVGN. You should do a part 2 of this video! Update us on your current collection! 👍🏼👍🏼
10 years now
Yeeeeees fucking please
Some of the prices of the games he got have jumped up at a high rate, for example I spotted casino kid 2, I wouldn't know what the value was back in 09, but I know it's somewhat pricey now
pennywise247 I would also love to see his whole collection from the Nerd Room!
11 now :/
1 TB hard drive in 2009? That must've been a small fortune.
They really weren't that expensive back then, hdd prices haven't dropped that much. Am external hdd like that could be had for about $150.
Another example of a millenial thinking last decade were the middle ages....
@@Baguenaudeur i think he's justified in thinking that considering how much technology has changed since 2009. Don't be a prick ye?
@@Baguenaudeur or maybe this guy is just not from US. In Russia, in 2009, 1tb hdd wasn't a small fortune, it was a fucking fortune.
If it was an SSD maybe, but HDD's weren't too bad.
i love how he's actually the nerd in this episode
He should do more simpler stuff like this again, with the over the top production
We need an update on the collections!
you gotta love leaches like you
Peter rabbit
In 2018
"Please Rewind?!"

That's... not how game cartridges work, video store clerk/manager...
It's not.
It's just... really not.
...so the name of who said that is "dying"?
@@GoldenGamerFox7272fromYT it's been awhile.... He didn't have any family or records so... Name witheld upon request.
@@petewadesays12 what.
also, r/woooosh
It's been 12 years AVGN. You should do a part 2 of this video! Update us on your current collection!

Instruction manuals for video games will never be the same. I remember getting Pokemon Blue and it came with a mini trainer's guide which tells you a back story, controls for the game, etc.. When I bought Pokemon Omega Ruby there was no instruction manual for the game. Just instructions on how to use your 3DS...
Yeah, and then there are games that don't even come with any kind of instructions. Whenever I get one of those, I feel like I have an incomplete game
Luigi16 *cough* Advanced Warfare *cough*
I guess it's more convenient for them since they don't spend as much making the booklet and everything. And it helps the environment too. But yeah i agree, it sucks. Everything is digitalised now. Sad :(
+Red controls for a gameboy game? wow
Agreed. I would always read the game manual, but then they were gone. ;~;
"This has already gone on too long"
Flash forward 7 years, James spends close to an hour showing us his video collection. You should do an updated video on the games, I really want to see what you have from other consoles.
Back in 2009, 10-minute videos were considered "long" videos. Compared to nowadays where everyone and their aunt is making 3-hour-long video essays
"I put my games in alphabetical order..."
Alphabets are for soup!
kristof gergely and cearal
Is that a reference to "Ed, Edd, & Eddy"?
so i can eat his collection
james was an youtuber long before youtubers were invented
That Gremlins reference XD...
"To those of you who donated, consider this video my personal thanks" Even though I was never able to donate any games, that hit me in the feels. Here's a like!
Also at 2:02 that thing LOOKS like a motion tracker for top loaded NES consoles, but I could be HORRIBLY mistaken. Take that with a grain of salt.
4:02 had me dying 😂
Lucky you. You did end up getting the original Nintendo World Championships.
Nope there both pats
+Daniel 316 I know James has a re-production cart of the game, and I believe a gray/silver one as well. Pat however is one of the very few who happens to own a gold cart of it, along with a gray too.
Yep and then he pawned them off on Pawn Stars.
No, he didn't. If you watched the episode, you'd see he refused Chum Lee's offer.
where and how you watch that show :\
i remember when i was a kid and rented games they were labeled with "please rewind" now that i think about it's kinda funny.
I think it was because they had a common label with the checkout barcode and just slapped it on everything. I remember seeing them on DVDs. The clerks at the stores thought it was dumb, too.
The position switch things on the gold carts were for nstc-u and pal reigons, so if you had a pal nes you had to play it on position b
That's what I thought. Actually kind of a good idea, but they should have explained it on the back.
i always thought that it was meant as, if she doesn't get pregnant in position a, use b
Someday, I'm going to have an NES Collection like you, James!
I bet...
Ty Palmer Sure thousands of dollars latter.
Where there's a will, there's a way...
+OfficialVGOvideos don't give up man! :)
Martin Paz I'm holding on till the dream manifests... ;)
"Sorry there hasn't been a new episode in a long time"...now it happens regularly.
Niko Teixeira He released this video back in early 2009, when his contract was under long negotiations with GameTrailers and Screwattack. Prior to this, 2007 and 2008 were when he released TWO AGVN videos EACH month. That was insane to do, given how they kept on getting bigger and more involved.
Show us your SNES collection and N64 collection
+ShOrtBOi98 Just check his site for lists.
4:09 I laughed my ass off at your facial expression.
You shouldn't compliment people like that.
Robert Bones Why? It's supposed to be a funny shocked face, he does consider himself a facial expression actor, or something along those lines.
I don't know. Generally entertainers don't like it when their fans are overly-complementative.
Which Episode is this Clip Shown?
I agree those Face's were funny
Would be great to see the new additions to your collection since this video
It's nice to see that passion which started in your childhood still goes on! People know that these games will have "better life" in your place. Great to see that after all we're one big family of gamers :) Cheers James!

1:14 A Sega Game on a Nintendo console? DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER MASS HYSTERIA!
Sweet Man-cave! I like the 1970's wood panel look along with the old computer! :)
I love this video and nes! Watched this thousands of times over the years
I had 86 NES games but I sold them for a 3DS. I forgot one game. And it was Friday the 13th. Still have it today. -.-
+KingHelianTheXVIII really? 86 NES games?
Mr.Sheepington yep
KingHelianTheXVIII take it the games werent very rare :l
Mr.Sheepington yep :/
KingHelianTheXVIII sell friday 13th when it becomes rare XD
Watched the video with my Guide to the NES library book by Pat Contry, and was surprised of seeing new stuff as that Hell Fighter!
Congrats for the awesome collection, never saw something so complete before!
2:15- And you eventually DID get a reproduction cart of NWC.
I have 127 nes games for now. For some reason i sometimes walk up to them, and run my hand through the cartridges and get a feelgood feeling.
Damn... I feel nostalgic just by watching this video.
lol even this video of nes collection is funny. u r indeed an entertaining guy avgn
I'd be curious to see an updated version of this episode.
You guys at cinemassacre are an inspiration dude. Love the James and Mike Mondays, the reality of the situation makes the comedy so authentic. Your scrpited content and films are great too, but i personally find the back and fourth from you and Mike enjoyable as hell, Keep em coming and thanks for the entertainment!
He probably got this collection for cheap based on now prices
He got all these games before collecting retro games became a big thing.
Anybody watching in 2019?
Yes
Yep
No 2020
I used to play Iron Sword for days!
Seeing this made me teary eyed. such dedication to an old gaming console. I still have my PS2 from 2002. I'll never be able to collect for this system, but I will try damn it
3:36 We're looking at you, GameStop!
I really wanna see a 2020 nerd room tour
BASES LOADED WAS AWESOME!
OddRobb So true!
I often find many "Temporary Infatuations" with TH-cam channels but there is something captivating about AVGN. May you become a TH-camr legend off in the distant future when our descendants are discussing the days of Antiquity and things like "TH-cam".

3:52 Top 10 Questions Scientists Still Can't Answer.
2:35 it actually does say code name but it’s so small
5:50 sheesh i can't even imagine how expensive a 1TB HDD was back in 2009
5:51 What were 1TB drives like in 2009?
oh back in my day of 2009, them mother fucking 1tb drives were demons and shit. me and batman had to mo fockin wrangle us a 1tb drive from hade's butthole and have avgn bless it with his curse words, which would turn the 1tb drive into a super tronic electric magnetic titty that we would insert into the computer, which of course, would get the computer pregnant with memory babies. so that, my friend, is what 1tb drives were like in 2009. it was crazy, man
@@DEADEYESTUDIO the most accurate representation of what it was like to want a 1 terabyte harddrive
fking expensive that how they were
You should check Eastern European version of cartridges and consoles. 169 games in 1!
5:50 look at the size of that tb drive holy shit
I absolutely love the intro music! Perfectly executed and defines die hard gaming freaks!
Tip for stickers: use a hair dryer to heat up the glue in the sticker and peel
I like how he says we dont have too donate from the paypal. It shows he actually cares about the fans and not worried about the numbers
I lost all my games about 12 years ago. I had the original manuals that came with them too.
jeez man i am so sorry
10 years later and still have a loyal following. This video shows why he has a loyal fan base. It's, because how sincere and greatful he is towards his fans. You don't see that from a lot of people nowadays.
4:03 super rare game now
I love Nes Games

You can update this video?
AAAASSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Failing to land in Top Gun.
You need to do an update video on this!
"Can you feed it after midnight?"
I never threw away the boxes, they're awesome!
Anyone watching this in 2017?
can you feed it after midnight !! XD
1:31 wait wasn't that shitty game on the Aladdin deck enhancer too?
I guess I was the only kid back then who kept the boxes to store the games in when I wasn't playing them. To me they were like the Holy Grail of Kid-dom and I valued them above my own life until I was probably 12 years old.
Does "all" of the nes games include the ones you mercilessly destroyed?
Or shat on.
Or melted to a crisp
You guys in the comments. Does any of you EVER play the games?
I do. In emulators but yeah
Just yesterday i FINALLY completed Ninja Gaiden WITHOUT save states!
it was glorious...
Dimencio Madniak OK
Yes, I am a collector and a gamer. Yesterday, I played Milon's Castle and got all the way to the second turd boss, before I gave up. Ah well, I will beat it one day!!
im an old man, iv been gaming since atari 2600 came out.
You need to update your video game collection video :)
12 years later James and this collection of yours still impressed me. Can you do an update video on this?
Back then nes games were 50p each now there £5 😂
My nes collection
I don't have a nes
+NonsensicalSpudz I sold my NES for next to nothing to a game store. It pisses me off to this day some of the stuff I haven't kept.
Escobar Manchulo bad move
If you can get a hold of an NES I'd keep it .
Classic video
I kept the boxes for a bunch of Gameboy Advance games because I was old enough to realize value when that handheld system came out. I'm saving the boxes for maybe two decades, and then collectors can have at them with the games. :)
Castlevania, then Casino Kid? That's not alphabetical...
Ah.. Give the man a break. He has more games than he can count! ..with the exception of people continuously donating new games to him.
i know im fucking around xD
This was like in 2008-09, but people still donated back then.
now why isn't there a you know what's bullshit on the different ones cartridges
Should i collect Snes or Nes
NES
Why?
More classic games on nes
true..
ya for some reason I feel like I should own way more nes games so I collect more nes than snes
If I had a NES collection so big,I would never see the sunlight again.
I have at least 30 games in my collection
I bet you don't have super mario 3
No, he had to destroy it when it got possessed by the devil.
Damn! I wonder how much money he spent on this collection!
Natalie Drescher people donated to him almost all of those games he didn't but every single of them
In case nobody pointed it out in the past 10+ years The HES 'Little Red' cart is a 'piggyback' cart, it was a method of bypassing authenticity measures, you plugged an official cart into it which verified the use which enabled access to the unofficial content

Call of Duty: Modern Ops 17
+Mr.Sheepington That was my favorite game. I especially liked the level where you played as Saddam Hussein, going around shooting titanium rocket jockstraps.
***** That was your favorite too!? Glad to know im not alone :)

hahaha,only use switch in position B if doesn't work in position A,WTF haha

Call of Duty: Advanced Combat
Watched in 2017
the people who disliked this video don't have an NES collection.
The game klax at .55 I gave to avgn probably 15 years ago when I was 13. I was so excited to see it in his video!
I love your videos. Inspiring me to build my own NES library.
This is probably James greatest video ever made.
Someone tell James!
Use a hairdryer to heat up the stickers; they peel right off!
Use goof-off, goo-gone or a similar surface prep to clean off sticker residue. It will clean off most magic marker as well.
I restored a Legend of Zelda Gold Cart this way and it did not damage the paint
Your the best James, been here since 2012 and still supporting
So I know you've probably watched the documentary NINTENDO QUEST. Where this huge fan of Nintendo was on search to own and purchase every single Nintendo game ever made. Really awesome documentary!
It's funny looking back at this and seeing how most of the games he mentions became future AVGN episodes
I always love seeing that little gray Mario entertainment stand. I had the other version with the vertically-long swinging door that had the full-body Mario sticker on it.
Love you nerd. I’ll always come cycle back through your stuff every few years.
