I remember seeing Pat on Pawn Stars with NWC and they asked if he had every played it. He said that he had played it with a friend. Ya, I was thinking of you and this nerd episode James!

James and Pat should team up again in the near future, They make a really good team.

It's weird that I felt let down when I found out that James doesn't actually own a Gold cartridge

As a fan of both James and Pat, it's so awkward feeling the tension between two creative geniuses pulling in different directions

AVGN Commentary Drinking Game: Take a shot every time James says "yeah" and take a drink every time Pat mentions how something didn't make it into the video.

All this talk about how this shot or that shot "actually went on forever and we cut it out" makes me really want a Director's Cut of this episode.

legend of my ass

Pat was in love with his own ideas

that episode was comedy gold

This video introduced me to Pat. I've been a fan since.

What I like about this episode is that it's simple, yet perfect. I love the way this turned out, it's like it could actually happen in real life

The choke really made it. Love how the gold cart had a battery that flies out too. XD

Pat's reaction to the goat sound is even funnier now that I watched this.

One of the best Nerd videos right down to the metal Nerd theme music at the end. That's quality entertainment right there!

Pat actually makes a very good point here, in that the Nerd had never actually interacted with another collector prior to this, which is why we'd never seen this kind of rivalry before. Never considered that before, oddly enough, but a very nice attention to detail.

love both videos. I've been living in a hole for the last 20 years (actually canada) and just started watching AVGN and Pat a month ago, keep up the good work/videos guys. cheers

Commentary videos are awesome! Thanks so much for this!

16:53 "Frames"?

The idea of all video game collecting, spend 1000's of dollars on games to put them on a shelf and stare at them! XD

The Combat part is hilarious. I would love you two to do a series together in the future. I know James is pretty busy with his movie but after its released I am sure he will have money thrown at him to make more videos. Not sure what Pat has been doing but I thought I heard he had a movie in the works. Thank you for these great videos and I look very forward to seeing the Nerd Movie!

One of my favorite videos of AVGN. Great commentary

Might be my favorite episode... I love when you two collaborate!

This was one of my favorite episodes. I am so jealous of Pat for having two legit copies of the NWC.

A truly classic episode. One of the best. :)

I love these episodes that brings up back stories about the game, like the SwordQuest and NWC. Seriously can't wait for AVGN: The Movie!!!

One of the favourites for sure, great commentary guys :)

I love your videos! Keep them going!

Anyone else laughed that he referred to it as "The Nerd's Lair"? Sounds like a geek supervillain hideout.

We need a director's cut!

haha i lost it at the goat sound reaction, i wondered what that was all about in the original video

This was fun to watch. I agree; Pat and James should do another episode or something together.

The spinal tap reference was hilarious. That goat was too xD.

Legend of my ASS lol...

Love when you and Pat collaborate:) keep up the good work bro!!! #Nerd4Life

Pat sure loves to talk/laugh about himself.

Rewatched in 2020, this is amazing!! Straight true comedy gold!! Hahaha

One of my favorite episodes among all AVGN's!! I watched it at least 5 times and it never failed to be entertaining. Great commentary as well!

one of the best episodes, thank you guys, please make an stadium events episode

I loved how perfect this episode turned out to be back then, really enjoyed the commentary

I love your video's James but I hunger for new nerd video's with the old concept.

I love this video, getting Pat's side was really cool. Please do this again on your other videos you've done together. And please guest in on that CU podcast, those guys have a great show.

I'm mad Pat never went back onto the subject of how he felt when he got the NWC Cart after James interrupted him

08:00 This is my favourite part. I love the way The Nerd gives the thumbs up.

I love the nerdscream at the end of this video when Pat strangles him x3 Very good commentary ^^

Seemed like this whole commentary consisted of Pat making James feel bad for cutting parts of him out of the video lol

great video! always has been one of my favs. i gotta know one thing, since pat was on pawn stars, it leads me to ask does pat still have both NWC carts? thanks looking forward to more vids by both of you.

If we learned something from this, it's that Pat films way too much content, and the Nerd keeps him in check and edits half of it out. They mentioned like 4 examples of this, and I'm only halfway into the video. hahaha

I really, really wish Pat's idea about the two carts merging and giving powers was what they went with. You can really tell Pat wished that as well. Really, it would have involved a higher production budget but they should have done it. Given the lengths AVGN tends to go nowadays for a given video, I reckon if they were to do it over today, they'd take it to the next level like that.

I found about Pat from this avgn ep, great guy!

"Well thanks Frames for doing this with me"!

I enjoyed this a lot. Thx

One of the best AVGN's made IMHO

What if they got something mixed and accidentally destroyed the real carts?

11 years after, I want a directors cut, even when the episode will run for 8 hours I would watch it :D

One of my all time favorite Nerd vids.

Now that they pointed out the editing in that one back and forth scene, it's 10x funnier

This video is a classic in video game history.

That was one of my favorite episodes

this was my favorite episode

Surprised James had not heard about the demo unit. I remember it being in a local electronics store in my hometown back in the early 90's (I live in Norway, though) Me and a couple of friends used to go there and play games after school. Remember among the 12 NES games you could choose from there was Zelda II, Battletoads and Bart vs. The World etc :)

Holy crap I really wish Pat wouldn't complain that much about how much stuff was cut out. He had to of known that most of that stuff had to be cut out! All the stuff he pointed out would've added an additional 5 minutes. Granted most people would stick around, but it would've been drawn out to long. I don't know, he might of just been letting us know how much filming they did, but he didn't have to complain about it...

FRAMES?! LOL! He called him Frames.. ha ha ha ha ha. FRAMES!!!

After hearing what James cut out, I'm glad he did.

“Thanks Frames”

love how patt showed up at pawn stars

Pat looked like he was gonna faint at the end

I think the Nerd's ending is better because even without the gold cart, the grey cart is still something I'd love to have.

Does anyone know the title of the Spaghetti Western Theme by John Jennings Boyd at 11:58, I'm looking for it.

I remember this when they showed it at Pax Prime, it was a hoot.

Now I kinda want to see the alternate ending of them playing a game together instead :)

Pat's shirt

In the dream sequence part on the podium, how did you get the starman backdrop like that, was it on an actual projector, where did it come from?

I swear to god PAT reminds me of billie joe armstrong from green day or sure really looks like it

Beside the problems that could have been in the writing of the script of this video (as I suppose from all the not very hidden complaints that Pat did in this video about the cut and the plot changes James wanted to make), that are really common when two guys with so many cool ideas work together, the final result is really enjoyable and is definitely one of my favourite avgn episodes... I hope there will be more collaborations with Pat and also the cut footage from this episode will be awesome too!

I'm curious, could you potentially beat Super Mario Bros on this cart, or is there a cut off somewhere?

The film noir thing would have been amazing, if you ever get the chance to make it, please do.

Oh that face, that FACE!

did he call you frames at the end?

One Of The Best Episodes

to be honest, the first time i saw this episode, i was slightly dissapointed. they talk alot and there ain´t much going on; but after rewatching it several times, it got better and better and now, with the indepth sight on the background and everything, the episode really stands out as something special in the AVGN library!

This ending was epic

I freaking love 'The Maltese Falcon'!

I thumbs upped this video because of Pat.

The Nerd not knowing what games are on the NWC kind of fits his character since he goes into a lot of game blind.

Interestingly enough, NES Remix 2 has a mode that mimics the 1990 Nintendo World Championship game by using Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, and Dr. Mario. SMB3 and Dr. Mario replaced Rad Racer and Tetris from the original game.

Imagine how cool a podcast with NWCC 1990 Winner Jeff Hansen would be. 🤘🏻

Ok the fucking goat noise with Pats reaction, yeah ok, was fucking hilarious!!

i wish i could watch the full extended version of this video

that Maltese falcon episode would have been fucking rad.

Where do I get the avgn figure in the background?

Best AVGN episode EVER 😃😍

Pat imprisoned James in a glass jar for this commentary.

Upload the outtakes now

Pat has a nice RAZR. And paint cans are useful as a cool addon for Amiga CD 32, remember that.

Legend of my ass is still one of my favorite AVGN lines

"THANKS FRAMES"

Rraleased on my birthday :)

I liked the commentary even better than the video lol.

Can SMB be completed in a speed-run within the time and coin avoidance on the NWC cart?

lol I watched this just to confirm what carts they actually smashed. I knew they really didn't smash the real ones but man they did a good job at making the lookalikes
