James getting all 33 Godzilla movies in the correct order was actually quite impressive.

[@dept-7443]

Parental Guardian Your name basically means “no parental guardian”

[@ceropuntocinco]

"that's a lot of fish"

[@Nitrobotti]

Son of Godzilla and Ebirah in wrong order but everything else was correct.

[@lordkaijux5262]

@Parental Guardian Really?

[@CJ-lr4uq]

@Parental Guardian Just wondering, what makes you think anyone would want to read such an obnoxious comment?

[@Joe-fy5dz]

Can't say I'm a Godzilla fan, must have seen about three in total, but I could listen to James talk about it for hours. You can see the genuine passion

mega impressed that James could list off all 33 Godzilla movies. Sometimes I have trouble naming all the Star Wars movies lol

[@nicholaskay4162]

But there's only 3 Star War movies....

[@NateB1976]

@nicholaskay Baboom!

[@KT-cz7rm]

Sometimes I have trouble naming more than one. Lol

[@brycevo]

He got all the Live Action films, so I'd say he's won. 33/33, Great Job James.

[@SkinnyBlackout]

That was the testament to how much of a nerd he really is.

[@ShinGallon]

The anime movies are awful and I don’t count them, anyway.

[@chanceneck8072]

I could do the same for the 37 German Masters of the universe audio adventures ....

[@dominicangelone2540]

Pretty fuck good dude. Pretty fucking awesome for james to name all

[@youtubed3951]

impressive

[@Rileysage4]

Holy crap James listing all the Godzilla movies was insanely impressive!

[@annemuha3766]

The way James stopped listing the movies with the flawless "that's Moguera" and then went right back to it was just so badass

[@SlayerOfCunts]

Mike: "I wonder if you could name all the Godzilla movies?" James: "Strap this on your saurus and hold my beer!"

[@slingblade941]

I had a feeling he was about to name them all 😂

[@ItsRyan265]

Hold my Rolling Rock.

[@teddybouka]

Being able to name all the Godzilla movies in order like that is one of the nerdiest things I have ever seen. Very impressive

[@halrin8329]

2 things I'm looking forward to this weekend: 1. Godzilla: King of the monsters. 2. James and Mike's review of this movie.

[@alexsilva28]

Same

[@anonymousgoblin792]

Their review turned out to be shit. I swear he’s like the gewunner for the Godzilla franchise now it’s sad.

[@halrin8329]

@@anonymousgoblin792 Yeah, I watched his review and end up didn't like it. I feel like he was focusing too much on nitpicking. Maybe he and mike reviewing - like Shin Godzilla - would have been different. Oh well.

[@halrin8329]

@Kenshiro Fist Oh it certainly was.

[@osakatales9228]

@@anonymousgoblin792 I don't think the gewunner insult makes sense for other franchises, other than Transformers. Godzilla doesn't have generations, it's relatively eras that are similar to Japan's eras. Ex: Showa, Heisei, Millennium, and Reiwa era Godzillas.

[@wolfgangfrost8043]

The Doom II music when James gets scored & get's 100%? Classic AVGN/Cinemassarce. Really great moment there.

[@KeithRozett]

I only wish they had used the original Doom intermission music, far superior to the Doom II one IMO.

[@SuperUTubeLogin]

"In a row?" Best clarifying question ever.

[@SaltyFrank]

The ending of this game made me cry as a kid, I was sad that Godzilla was lost out in space somewhere.

[@razor-backfrogger4256]

The music was quite bittersweet.

[@AtlasBlizzard]

At least he had Mothra with him.

[@SukieOOO]

One of the most amazing and impressive aspects of all the early and some later Godzilla / Gamera / Monster films were the miniatures , the buildings and landscapes . the use of water , such a loss , it was a real art form.

[@runningsuperska]

Thumbs up for James' boss knowledge.

[@monstermash1571]

Anyone else Binging Godzilla-thon to get ready for King of Monsters this Weekend?

[@lordkaijux5262]

My grandfather has been watching several before seeing it. So far he's enjoying them.

[@49erfanaticfromnm30]

Pretty much. I can't wait for the movie. I've watched all my old, campy movies as well.

[@danieldevora]

Heck yeah!

[@piplup2009]

DESTROYAH!

[@gspida25]

Meeeeeeee🙌🏾

[@CrazyChiv]

I'm bloody impressed that James can name all 30-odd films in sequence. Nice one!

[@cube2fox]

In reality he is the non-angry movie nerd :)

[@Daigon95]

only 2 films he had the order wrong on; but nonetheless impressive.

[@Commander64]

If it was anyone else I'd say they had it written down behind the camera and scripted it in, but come on... It James, you just know he could reel these off and any time.

[@villalazalejandro]

Mike: can you name all the Godzilla movies? James: Omae wa mou shindeiru (33/33) Mike: NANI !!!

[@Commander64]

Inside James head: "yes, someone finally asks me to list them all, this is my moment to shine!"

I used to play this as a kid for hours, and had forgot about it until I saw this, took me right back to 1990 or 91 and wow what a weird feeling, thanks

[@kabutops87]

I've always had a soft spot for this game. the graphics and sprite work was pretty amazing for a 1988 Nes game, the music was also excellent."The Earth" and Password themes come to mind as stand out tracks.

The whole "At night fighting in the rain" thing I'm like 99% sure is to reduce CGI costs as you don't have to make things as detailed in low light levels.

[@Commander64]

[@faxisthefox]

the kicker with this game was you beat the map with the satellite but then it drops you back to the map and I never think to select it again to transport to the next planet... bought it used and no manual and no internet to look it up. Loved the crazy imagery despite how bad I was at it.

[@Zetagundamastley1219]

My best friend had this game when I was a kid. I used to go to his house all the time because he had more NES games than me. We played lots of this, Wizards & Warriors, and Empire Strikes Back. Then I got a Genesis and he started coming over to my house ;-)

[@Dinofaustivoro]

James, you won. I am now about to start the list you sugested in the Godzilla for Begginers video.

The best thing about Nes Godzilla is the creepypasta based off of it.

6:55 - Finally learned how to get past 'level 1.' I never was able to figure this out. I think all I did was use level skips to try the other levels.

Impressive Godzilla knowledge there James. And Mike... love how you keep pushing up those invisible glasses on your face!? ;)

[@TTex11]

9:04 I dunno if Mike will ever read this, but here we go. I had this game as well back as a kid and beat it after many, many hours. And those little things were the biggest danger you had to look out for in the entire game as Godzilla, they didn't really bother Mothra that much. The key to beating them was to make sure you held Godzilla's breath attack back for when they appeared, and you had to time it right that when you activated it, the entire time the breath animation played out the thing was soaking up the damage from it. There was always enough damage done in that case to be able to kill the little bastard before it would be able to make contact with you and get you caught in that damage-loop that finished you off.

I remember after you complete Pluto, you go to Planet X, which is basically just a boss rush. The map is super small, and every tile has a boss before you get to King Ghidora at the end.

This is why James and AVGN is so enjoyable and respectable. He’s a real nerd, genuinely interested in what he does. Proof in him listing all Godzilla movies from memory.
