Pat the NES Punk it about time pat....

[@geoserenity]

any thoughts about nintendo power coming back as a podcast?

[@nesmandan1037]

Pat the NES Punk congrats on getting it.

[@PSVitaat2am]

Was waiting for this day!

[@headbangermetal5929]

do not cry pat we love your videos

[@ExtraZero]

Norm’s cameo made me LOL! Great video Pat!

[@JohnMerrik]

Seriously, that cracked me up

[@gabrieleriva651]

Extrazero Norm said “Horseshit”!!

[@MickeyD2012]

IKR? I can't believe he got him to swear. Awesome.

[@michaeltaylor7813]

The gaming historian video says all you need to know

[@cacophonic7]

Almost 4 years later, this video still makes me smile. I love ya Pat, and Frank (and Ian too, of course).

[@GamerGoingGrey]

Best Gaming Historian episode ever

[@MeanMrMustard1]

I like how you could tell he was about to start laughing.

[@syxx573]

Incidently, his videos these days are almost as short

[@Tony_3XL]

"The value"

[@gillythekid]

i've never laughed as hard in my life as i just did at norms part

[@TechnologyWithJames]

vintagevideogamegeek *shrugs* I thought it was pretty funny

[@pxlsicle]

vintagevideogamegeek I’m going to take a wild fucking guess and assume he found it funny! How about that mind blowing idea?

[@MADORCS]

LOL, same here....

[@pearlmax]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[@spartanracer]

vintagevideogamegeek fuck that it was hilarious

[@MissSallyB1]

"It's not like I have anywhere else to go. You probably don't either." Finally catching up on one's WatchLater playlist while in lockdown, this line hit hard.

[@DepriverOfSouls]

"Where's the finish line?"- Pat - Frank throws game into the distance - "The Value!"- Ian

[@mryodak]

"The value" joke is the best thing i have heard in a last eight years.

[@bevrosity]

i'm sorry

[@VideoGameAutopsy]

“That wasn’t glory, Frank! You were running from the cops!” Haha!

[@trevorbozeman]

Yes!! A new Punk video! I’ve heard tales of its existence in podcasts, but have failed to believe it until now!! Also Norm’s cameo is PRICELESS.

[@jcoleman924]

I'm not a collector nor will I ever be, but I love the information in these shows. I also love the podcast just simply for the information. Takes me back!

[@pepijn23]

Pat’s not wrong about how Stadium Events being less rare in Europe or PAL format. The average price for stadium events here in EU is around €400 on average while the real rare one goes currently for around $9500.

[@Untouchaable]

Ha, about 3 yrs ago I suggested a video where you & Ian compete in an obstacle with Frank as a trash talking Ref. Nice to see it come to life.

[@shadowtheoblivious]

gee what next suggesting i wrestle 8-bit eric for a toploader? badum tss...yea i got nothin...

[@JohnRiggs]

I'd rather have the case of sierra nevada.

[@OurStorySoFarTV]

I'll take the cash value, and then buy some Sierra Nevada! ;)

[@XISMZERO]

make it Celebration or Sidecar and we got a deal

[@shadowtheoblivious]

ditto

[@TRKTKO]

The value! NERDS! Haha

[@subzero8679]

More valuable than your whole life

[@jaketheman091]

Loved Norm’s unexpected sarcasm and of course Frank’s lines are hilarious!

[@Krapuloidi]

"THE VALUE!" gets me every time :DD

[@TechnicalCakeMix]

Congrats on getting Stadium Events finally!

[@chopsmccartney6786]

I thought this was a great video! I especially liked the savage jab Norm delivered at the end, as well as the ending bit with Frank. I was surprised to see Ian was feeling well enough to do the footrace segment, as I haven't been keeping up on him on the CUPodcast. I always wondered what the big deal was with Stadium Events being such a sought after game. Great video, keep it up!

[@patrickk.2441]

By far my favorite Pat The Nes Punk Video to date!! Great Job Pat, Frank, Ian, and Norm!!!

[@ValensBellator]

“Little shorter than I thought it’d be” That remains one of my favorite gags you’ve ever done 😂

[@VTuber_Central]

pat in the suit at the end 🤣 _Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free- Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me_

[@edmundblackadder2741]

My god a new NES Punk review? Have the planets aligned?! Best early Christmas present Pat!

[@Mr._Sandman]

Those Norm cameo's are priceless!

[@jonathanarras1281]

This was the best one yet Pat, love the end

[@brianthecollectorofall592]

"The Value." Ian's acting = Priceless.

[@unknownstuntman3224]

Good to see an nes punk vid. Don't understand the dislikes. Hopefully you find time to do some punk vids more often but your podcasts give me a good fix on a regular basis.

[@mattcrowing]

I love the shameless plug for Norm! This is great Pat!

[@XISMZERO]

My Toys R Us shot from Horseheads, NY at 13:44. Much appreciated! (I was your last certain NES Guide buyer in CT Retro Convention).

[@spartonberry]

I remember getting BreakThru! by Data East once when I ordered the unrelated SNES game of the same title (one of Alexei Pajhitnov's many other puzzle games that didn't have the same impact as his landmark creation). No problem though as I was able to get it swapped.

[@nickgeorge4717]

Pat... Your videos on Nintendo are still the best on the internet...Thank you for this Christmas gift...

[@yzfr620032]

Hearing Norm swear made my day. Thank you!

[@---skynet---]

"THE VALUE" i can't stop laughing. Thanks Pat and Ian! Happy holidays!

[@LiquidButterAlternative]

Oh my god that Norm cameo was amazing.

[@lukethedrifter3363]

@vintagevideogamegeek No Shit!! What's so great about it. . All these retro game enthusiasts are so pretentious.

[@GamerGoingGrey]

Holy crap! I have edits in a Pat the NES Punk video (via the small TVGY clip). Awesome!

[@Skywalker-zu7od]

Gamer Going Grey Mr. Phillips? I'm still gutted I didn't win -Mountain Bicycle with Helmet- or -The Exclusive Nintendo Power Jersey-. Your modeling made them look like so much fun! Lol. You should be on Pat's Not So Common Podcast! That would be fun!

[@GamerGoingGrey]

Skywalker1138 No no no. Not him. But I did edit his footage into The Video Game Years (NES segment) which Pat used in the video as b roll.

[@ThisChannelisRIP]

A new Pat the Nes Punk video? It's a Christmas miracle!

[@drperson12]

I had very low expectations for a video about a stupid rare running game from 30 years ago. But the way Pat went into detail about all the marketing stuff and speculation on everything actually made it interesting since a good mystery always draws me in. Also the ending the hilarious! So great job with this vid Pat!

[@avngsv]

Norms cursing made me shit myself

[@treismac]

Top notch break down of the Stadium Events story, Pat, which will, no doubt, be used as source material for future discussions of the subject.

[@Xx1SailorScoutxX]

Just imagine if Konami developed and released Dance Dance Revolution back in the 80's along with that Power Pad.

[@joeyisabsb1]

I could listen to informative retro game information all day.

[@dezarae1984]

Great job Pat! Thanks for adding a PaT The N E S Punk video every once in a while.

[@lemonlimestiv]

You said, "Stadium Events" 900 times.

[@ShiftyShifts]

No he says Stayeumm events

[@bjrnen8505]

The Gaming Historian bit made me laugh. I don't know what all the stuff is. Is it a game? Is it fabric? Whaaaaaaat??

[@TheCooterpuppet]

Norm “hi there” Caruso popping up everywhere

[@zuldaftw4534]

fun fact pat and ian fighting over the cartridge represents nintendoage's website also wheres roman with stacks of sealed stadium events

[@danielmims8467]

My parents bought me and my brother the nes power set and it came with the power pad and world class track meet . My dad was stoked on the pad and it was why they got the system for us , so I guess marketing it as a pack in title was smart. We played it quite a bit though . It was a pretty fun game.

[@NatiPerPerdereNPP]

Why the dislikes?

[@osurpless]

Obviously because he said “gleamed” instead of glean, much as I did regularly until recently. Apparently, to gleam has no such figurative meaning. The question becomes: who do we blame?

[@twicethemegapower3995]

Because Pat forgot to mention a certain NES Guidebook that may or may not be available for purchase on amazon and might also make a great gift for your family and loved ones

[@CommodoreFan64]

Because they are a bunch of Scrooge asshats!!

[@MarvinDigi]

Because the Stadium Events copy wasn't SEEEEEEEALED

[@SKMCTV]

NintendoAge

[@markplott4820]

Pat the NES Punk - I remember seeing both Print ads and actual Physical copies of Stadium Events back when SEARS sold Mail Order Videogames.

[@En1gmat1c1]

LOL! That was great! Glad to see another NES Punk video, Happy Holidays Pat! Hope you and the rest of the crew spend them well.

[@awwrelic]

I have that Official Nintendo Player's Guide. But as curious as the Stadium Events spot in the book is, have you seen in the "Coming Attractions" section near the back of the book where a title is mentioned as "coming soon", called Return of Donkey Kong? The spot seems to suggest that you could play as DK himself. Never heard of an NES title where you could play as DK, and DK Jr. don't count :) Wonder what happened there?

[@PatTheNESpunk]

Not much info exists on that Donkey Kong game - maybe it never got far into development?

[@awwrelic]

Thanks for the reply. I would have loved to have seen a playable DK back then on the NES.

[@TheGollddMAN]

Such a great informative video and yet so many dislikes? Why is that?

[@Ex0rz]

Guess they hated the usual Pat humour / jokes, which do kinda suck (but in a good way :D). But this video didnt contain a lot of that.

[@briangardner6190]

Must be guests of Pats favorite website.

[@briangardner6190]

Ohh wow. I’m surprised you put together that many syllables there buddy.

[@gumballguy34]

JG L Low quality bait

[@TheCheat420]

Yay new Pat the NES Punk! It's been a while.

[@darrenseinfeld]

My friend had this game. I remember running on the pad. It was probably world class track meet that was grouped with mario and duck hunt

[@KombatGod]

One of the best episodes so far in my opinion Pat! Very informative and funny!

[@SaxcatGamingCorner]

One of your best videos yet Pat!

[@phunq9087]

Pat this is your best video by far. Thank you for this.

[@astuteandy]

Great video as always, Pat. I hope you have more time soon to do more Pat the NES Punk videos. ❤

[@The90sGamingGuy]

I have never seen tgis game in the wild, only seen US and PAL copies on Ebay about 5 years ago. Great video Pat.

[@GamesfromtheGrave]

I haven't laughed this hard at a video in a long time. Whatever magic there was in early KZbin gaming videos, Pat's still got it.

[@BLUESUNJRPGs]

This was one of your best episodes.

[@jasonlang9501]

"THE VALUE!" hahahaha

[@Zobber]

I got that mat a estate sale for 6 bucks like 3 years ago Glad you made this video because at the time i could not really find any info on it.

[@deralfenderson]

That was beautiful. I was dying at the end. Also, that's long been one of my favorite Gaming Historian videos. I really love his long, in depth videos... but sometimes you want the WAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM. Ya know what I mean?

[@lesserz6310]

I think I remember that article about stadium events. Because I was interested in those NES controller overlays...hence why I bought them back then. I've lost the little pegs, but still have the overlays.

[@elliemiller]

Great job Pat!

[@brennanterry5530]

Really great video with the most in depth look at Stadium Events I've ever seen. I definitely learned a lot watching this. The end was awesome too.

[@MARay-en4pv]

So much great in-depth research. Really enjoyed this video a lot.

[@ryancat001]

Great work Pat. Well worth the wait for another quality video

[@NothingToDoCrew]

Fun Fact: I bought all the NES games from my local video game store (50$ for 20-30 games in their box) and Stadium Events was one of them! I sold it for 5$ because it didnt look like fun and i am still kicking myself to this day. 😩

[@malachilovato4400]

Dude I miss this type of videos keep them coming great job

[@BADC0FFEE]

you could really feel the sexual tension during that ending with pat and ian rolling on the grass

[@SammyRenard]

Fuck, I could listen all day to you talking about obscure games and the why of their hows

[@mfitzger99]

I'm glad I stuck it out till the end. I got bored halfway through the video, but I loved the ending.

[@LagBlowz]

I have been waiting for this for so long!

[@PoisonGhost]

What a great episode - love seeing Ian and Frank!

[@APerson10003]

Thank you Pat. What an amazing video. Please keep up the Punk episodes. :)

[@G1megatron]

20:25 Greatest moment

[@Jma952]

I love the in depth research done. Nice job Pat!

[@SauceEstPizza]

God, new NES Punk episodes are fucking rare as balls.

[@nem3sisaut192]

Ty for another awesome episode, also merry christmas to you guys! Happy holidays

[@Rpgwaiter]

Good stuff, my favorite Pat episode to date.

[@MagicMaster667]

That cameo sure took an unexpected turn.

[@Keiffer01]

3:00 That's a picture of my actual set that I bought this week!:) Boxed US Family Fun Fitness pads are extremely rare!

[@Mark3Spark]

yes ! an early Christmas present :) merry christmas Pat, ian and frank hope you have an awesome end of year ! can’t wait to see this latest pat the nes punk episode :)

[@His0ka]

Finally the reason is back why i subbed in the First place! Keep em coming !

[@VOST0K]

Hello Pat! Love the video, thanks for working so hard! :)

[@maximuscesar]

I remember World Class Track and Meet and Dance Aerobics being sold here in Brazil alongside the Power Pad. The super late release of the NES around here caused some of these oddities, like Duckatales 2 being much more common than the first one around here (I myself never saw a Duckatales 1 around here but had already 3 copies of Ducktales 2).

[@lordpolvo222]

Cool, a new punk video :) i feel like its been a while since weve had a new one. Thanks for uploading :)

[@pix3l_brat]

Great video!

[@cleardragon]

God I remember seeing so many copies of this game back in the day.

[@BennysBenz]

I played this in 87 at my friends. I remember it very well!

[@nobody88767]

Your videos light up my day !

[@DiscomasterZero]

NERDS!

[@timg2727]

The Norm cameo was fantastic.

[@srwapo]

Came for the NES Punk, stayed for the Gaming Historian.

[@wecameasandys]

That super controller add on with joy stick looked awesome I've never heard of that add on before.

[@abethepunk]

Thank you Pat! I'm so sick, this made my day.
