Nah thats 100% not true. Exclusive titles is why people buy certain consoles. Why would ANYBODY buy a Nintendo today if you could get all the games on Playstation or Xbox? For example PS has the God of War and Gran Turismo series, Xbox has Halo and Nintendo has Mario & Zelda etc.
Ex0rz I think they were talking about other companies developing Nintendo IPs for Nintendo consoles still as an exclusive for Nintendo but developed by third parties
Andrewsafb71 Alright, let's try to put it this way: He spent 700 fucking dollars from his own pocket on shitty games purely to entertain us. Stop being such an asshat, if you don't like the AVGN why are you here?
This was such a huge flop they started selling them as regular CD players. My mom bought one and I didn't realise until later that it was intended as a gaming console.
It was intended as a multimedia device (movies, encyclopedias, karaoke, Flowers of Robert Maplethorpe stuff, etc). Around here they were never sold in toy stores like Nintendo and Sega, only electronic stores, even the 450 console-like model.
I honestly think the funniest part of this part is him trying to open "Zelda the Wand of Gamelon" by virtue that you can't make up a reaction like that.
***** Some TH-cam Poops can have a lot of Detail in them. Like Deepercutt & Walrusguy for example. Some are crazy as hell & make's you wonder what you're doing with your life. Like Boogidyboo & Thechairman45 for example. But the one's that just repeats the same clip over & over & nothing really much special because Windows Movie Maker. Those are the one's that are bad & Created by some 8 year old.
An awesome glass of milk 97 x Well, I haven't gotten an Xbox One or PS4 yet, but I plane to buy an Xbox One because I like games like Halo. I'm not a stupid fanboy, I just know what I like. Though I think it's cool how the Playstation 4 will have full backwards comparability.
Wow. The whole objective of the game is to shut doors? Couldn't you just go to a actual hotel, open all of the doors and just have the same experience? You could call it the real life game of hotel mario and when people ask you what you are doing, you can just say that you are saving money.
Da Gray Wolf If I'm thinking of the right show it's a rooster teeth show where they test video game tropes like how split screen would help in real life and driving in third person.

+twee , You're Welcome, I had a whole hell of a lot of my time wasted to search these songs that the AVGN used in this video just to name them in the comments section, at least I found them.
Was the CD-I ever intended to be a video game console? I remember that thing from my driving school were they used a CD-I based software to show videos and animations about traffic rules. Before watching the AVGN episode I’d have never thought that companies actually made games for this piece of hardware.
BigHailFan it was meant to be a multimedia device for the TV once CD-ROMs became common, like the Apple Pippin and 3DO. Hardware designers though that was going to be the next big thing in the 90s and so a bunch got made and they all failed. These days they all get lumped in as game consoles since the category they occupied went extinct. It's also why the CDi's pack-in controller was an infrared remote instead of, you know, a controller
Actually he played that game in one of his.Videos I think it was just about some guy talking about flowers with music in the background and random pictures of flowers.
"You might think you're living under a rock, but let me tell you, its a rock worth living under." Makes me think of Patrick from Spongebob, and how his house is a rock. lol
***** If they went through with it, the wording on the contract would have screwed them over anyway. Under their agreement, Sony would develop and retain control over the SNES-CD disc format, effectively ceding a large amount of control over software licensing to Sony. So they secretly met with Philips, Sony's main competitor at the time, to work out a more favorable deal. Sony found out at the 1991 Consumers Electronic Show, with a surprise announcement.
***** No, the Sony partnership was always for an add-on to the SNES. You can find the concept images online. They jumped ship on Sony to Philips to get a better contract, but eventually cancelled the add-on altogether. However, they were required by contract to allow these games to be made.
How's that a fail? Nintendo gives zero fucks about Sony. Nintendo is still the best video game company with highest revenue in the world, plus they have a monopoly in the handheld console market. I will never, ever switch from Nintendo to any other game console manufacturer. Nintendo actually tries to be original (every console they have ever released had something original, that was usually copied later by Sega/Microsoft and Sony) and they make games that you actually want to play on a console (unlike FPS' and RPG's, which are horrible on a console because of bad controls.).
BlackHoleDragon Well to be fair if I was going to something that was a felony I wouldn't mind someone telling me before hand but also it was just a joke so lol
Little random for anyone who cares: The Philip's CD-I wasn't actually intended for the video game market. It was the companies that tried to turn that DVD player into a Console :p

@@lionocyborg6030 Futurama reference? Nice!
All 3 of the CD-I episodes are by far my favorite AVGN videos. So funny.
The Cd-i console itself is actually bad even Bill gates(CEO of Microsoft) comment how negative this console is after its discontinuation in 1998
You know the drill
Link or Lies XD
I'm surprised it even lasted that long on the market. lol
4:29 Because that’s a role model you want to make a game out of.
Was that not one, but TWO power gloves I saw in his drawer in the intro?
+Mister Chops I love the Power Glove. It's so bad
+RetroGamerNerd Lukas :)
Except they are both right handed sooooo :P
well as most human beings the nerd has 2 hands... so he needs 2 power gloves.
Edos512 but the power glove is right handed only
that one, singular, memetastic cutscene is the spark of the youtube poop genre. nuff said
I lost it at the beginning. LOL
It's a pain in the ass at 3:37, and yet history looks like it will repeat itself in the next console generation, with only one USB 3.0 port on the front... PS5 will have a USB C port, but the fact still stands.
I'm surprised that AVGN never brought up the fact the Mario and Zelda CD-i games were made popular via TH-cam Poop.
Wouldn’t it be nice if he mentioned YTP in his multi-part CD-i review?
This is where that meme comes from..
Which one?
Luigi
SPAGHETTI!
Sean Burnett Lots of them.
MEATBALL!!
7:04 that part where he gets killed by the caterpillar will always get me 😂😂
He should watch the YTPs. Those make up for the garbage gameplay
"Man's inhumanity to man..." YES. Every time I catch one of these references, I am laughing heartily.
I remember begging to get one of those as a kid, glad that I was denied, lol!
The CD-I is one of the fundamental building blocks of the Internet
best intro in the entire series
