Been watching since when there was maybe only 10 episodes available to watch.

True. Not sure if it's issues with if he's allowed to use the song or not, but to me that song IS a large part of AVGN and the lyricless chiptuney version can never compare.

@minicritman999 14 дней назад

People are asking “Is this his last episode?” but I have my doubts. He said ‘20 years and counting’, which makes it seem more like a celebration of 20 years of AVGN rather than a goodbye.

@MDLuffy1234YT 12 дней назад

I'm pretty sure that AVGN will continue with his daughter once James grows too old to continue the series. And maybe she could make episodes for exclusively 6th or 7th gen games onwards instead of forcing the notion of 80s and 90s nostalgia on someone who clearly wasn't born in that era. That would unironically be amazing.

Here's a fun fact. The four part Castlevania videos that James did, is what got me into Castlevania. And to this day, they remain to be my favorite Avgn episodes to date. They are a great combination of his hilarious anger antics, being very informative, and talking about things he loves from his past. The episodes embrace everything we love about the nerd, and I became a Castlevania fan because of it. Thanks James, for making me love Castlevania as much as you do. Edit: Oh and as for my favorites. In the series. Castlevania NES Aria of sorrow Rondo of blood Super Castlevania 4 Portrait of ruin And symphony of the night is my favorite. What are your favorites?

@artistpenguin5890 7 дней назад

I can't remember how many times I've played Order of Ecclesia. To me this is the best part - best music, top artstyle, best protagonist, coolest version of Dracula and all of the lessons from SOTN done right. Portrait of Ruin is probably second.

For me it's CastleVania Bloodlines for Genesis (aka Vampire Killer) I was always a Nintendo kid but I played Bloodlines online 7-8 years ago and I immediately loved for it.

This is one of the best AVGN episodes. The focus on the games and your personal experiences with them is so much more valuable than guest characters and skits and catchphrases. Thank you for a wonderful memory.

You don't have to win Symphony of the Night to play as Richter. Just enter your name as Richter. Similar to original Zelda.

Except you need to beat SOTN to play Richter, the Saturn version allows you to choose Richter without beating the game.

@tinman271 14 дней назад

It's crazy to think that I've been watching AVGN ever since 2007, and it's perhaps even more crazy that whenever a new video is released, none of that original magic is gone. Even after 17 years I still get excited and giddy whenever I see a new episode. What a legacy. Thank you for making amazing content like this for all these years.

@TheSkarletKardinalSwoopsIn 12 дней назад

The fact that this series is nearly as old as I am right now is truly something. This might be the longest-running series to ever be on RU-vid. Additionally, I’m surprised Rolling Rock has never given James Rolfe an endorsement. He’s literally singlehandedly keeping them in business with these videos.

@Wade_Tyler 14 дней назад

I think the reason why SC4 is the only game to have 8 way whip direction is because the devs realised it made the secondary weapons pointless to use.

@ronaldzamora8850 12 дней назад

Secondary weapons are meant to be secondary, even in SCV4 the cross boomerang was as handy as ever.
