      I feel you, James and Mike are people who helped make youtube into the thing it is by making quality content for years. Unfortunately, today's audience and algorithm favors poorly made "lets plays" and reaction videos by uncreative young people because the audience is usually pretty young. Despite the platforms popularity now, people want to watch someone they can relate to and most young people can't relate to nintendo games or nintendo history.

    Congratulations on your 200th AVGN episode!
    I've been a fan since 2006. The first episode I saw was Friday The 13th. Time sure does fly.
    Keep up the great work James and the rest of the Cinemassacre crew!

    Castlevania II was not as old during AVGN Episode 1 as Episode 1 is today. Let that sink in.
