16:59 Somewhere Randy Marsh is saying you have Tergridy.

Can't believe James has been going for this long. He truly is the GOAT

The best way to play this game is "3D Classics: Kid Icarus", which is not emulation but the whole game rewritten from scratch, with all the key gameplay present but the NES jank all removed. Unfortunately it's soon to become completely unobtainable with the 3ds eshop closing this year. By the way, the reason for the Metroids is that the game was developed by the same team, and uses the same game engine.

There are high schoolers who weren’t even alive when I began watching the Nerd! Thank you James, for hours and hours of laughter! Your videos have helped me get through some very tough struggles these last 15+ years!

I had just moved to the US and a friend was showing me games on this thing called a "Nintendo" that we didn't really have in the UK because it was unpopular there.
