The Nerd reviews several accessories for the NES to find out how good or bad they are, including the NES Zapper and Power Pad, the Konami LaserScope, the Brøderbund UForce, and the LJN Roll & Rocker. He also spends some time finding out what the Super Scope for the SNES is like to play games with. This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 47.

Back in 1985, the NES helped to revitalize the video game industry following the crash of '83. Nintendo set the standard when it came to video game consoles with this 8-bit home entertainment console and was the first to endorse third-party development. This, of course, led to many games -- and, the subject of this video, accessories designed to enhance the player's experience with their games. Some were good -- such as the NES Max or the Zapper, though a lot more were terrible. Today, The Nerd looks at some of the worst, or lesser-known, and determines whether or not they perform as expected -- such as the Konami Laser Scope and the LJN Roll 'n' Rocker, and of course, hilarity ensues.

    AVGN is honestly a part of internet history. this is iconic stuff.
  • @FelixLatimer
    When he says "today we have the Wii and the DS stylus pen" you really realise how long ago this was made
  • @japeth3213
    I don't know what it is about a lot of these older AVGN episodes, they just seem ageless and always fun to revisit.
  • @MagicMaster667
    "Lemme just say that I f*cking love Konami."

    Different times, man.
  • @kadoharp
    The fact I’m still coming back to these episodes in 2023 says so much about the rewatch value of this series. It’s amazing
  • I like how when James realizes he’s drinking Rolling Rock on the Rolling Rocker, the cameraman awkwardly pans down like he wasn’t ready for it. Makes it seem like it was a completely unscripted moment
  • @colinashworthVA
    "Today its the Wii, and the DS Stylus Pen"

    That hit hard. I was only 6-7 years old thinking that it couldn't get better than that.

    I completely forgot that Boo was even in this review because it's literally been so long since I last watched this video.

    R.I.P., Boo.

    Of all the comfiest AVGN episodes, this one makes me feel right at home. I keep coming back to this one every so often.

    The fact I’m still coming back to this in 2020 says something about how timeless these videos are

    Nintendo in 2018 :
    A cardboard piano

    Nintendo in the 80s:
    An actual piano.

    The landing sequence with the U-Force is one of my favorite scenes in the entire series, what with how it foregoes all music and dialogue for a while, leaving only the ambient noise of an engine filling the silence of tight concentration on finally getting that fighter jet to land... and then...

    AVGN is one of those YouTubers that deserve more subscribers. He's been on youtube for 15 years and only gained 3.5 million subscribers. Meanwhile, there are reaction channels that gain 20 million subscribers in just a few years.

    "It's a piece of FUCKING plastic!" One of my favorite quotes ever
  • @UnfamiliarEyes
    “YEAHH, IM SHOOTING DUCKS WITH A PIANO”

    Best line 10/10
  • @Jibwa
    I love coming back to these old episodes... reminds me of simpler times
