The Angry Video Game Nerd is back and this time he's taking on the classic game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the Nintendo Entertainment System. In season 1 episode 4, he dives headfirst into the frustrating and often rage-inducing gameplay of this beloved franchise.
The episode begins with the Nerd introducing the game and giving a brief history of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. He then shows the game's cover and describes the excitement he felt as a kid when he first saw it. But that excitement quickly turns to frustration as he begins playing the game.
The Nerd quickly discovers that this game is not as easy as he remembers. He struggles to get past the first level, constantly dying from the seemingly endless barrage of enemies. He manages to get through the level but only after taking several breaks to calm himself down.
As he progresses through the game, the Nerd notes the many frustrations he encounters. From the maddeningly difficult swimming level to the infuriatingly long sewer level, he struggles to keep his cool. He even takes a moment to rant about the game's awful soundtrack, which he describes as "ear-bleeding."
Despite the frustrations, the Nerd does manage to find some positives about the game. He praises the graphics, which he notes are impressive for an NES game, and he also mentions the game's many different enemies and bosses.
Throughout the episode, the Nerd also takes time to discuss the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise as a whole. He talks about the different comic book series, the original cartoon, and even the live-action movies. He also talks about the many different video games that have been released over the years, including some that are even worse than the NES game he's currently playing.
As the Nerd nears the end of the game, he becomes visibly more frustrated. He dies multiple times on the final level, and the game seems to be doing everything it can to prevent him from beating it. But despite all the challenges, the Nerd soldiers on and manages to beat the game.
In the final moments of the episode, the Nerd gives his overall thoughts on the game. He admits that it's not as bad as he thought it was going to be, but he still considers it a frustrating and sometimes unfair game. Regardless, he has a newfound respect for the game and for anyone who has managed to beat it.
Overall, season 1 episode 4 of Angry Video Game Nerd is a perfect example of what makes the show so entertaining. Watching the Nerd struggle with a classic game like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is both hilarious and relatable, and his insights into the game and the franchise as a whole make for some fascinating viewing. Even if you're not a fan of the game, this episode is well worth a watch.
