Nah, not going to happen. His standard is way higher now and I don't think he can handle time schedules or time pressure.

That wasn't bad, but Nostalgia Critic kinda already spoiled this joke with the Titanic animated movies.

I still cant believe....even after watching this amazing video...that a Titanic beat em up game....exists.....holy shit. Thank you JAHN TRAN!
I've watched the Titenic episode like five times since it came out the other day. SO GOOD.
Seriously gives me the warm fuzzies.
I'd love him to do a video about a game he loves, though.
Nuts and Bolts?

Definitely watch the Nuts and Bolts and Stairfax Temperatures episodes. Horrible sequels to games he loves. Two of my favorite episodes.
Back in the day he used to also do real reviews with his "Review?" series where he would talk about a game that was actually pretty good. Like Donkey Kong Country Returns. He doesn't do those anymore though apparently. Shame. Also, his 21st birthday Castlevania GameBoy episode was great. He liked the game as a kid and did a drunk play of it.

There was Dinocity, which I think is the review that first blew up his career. One of my favourites.
"But this ain't most peoples..." *suit-up montage* "This is JonTron." *hacking cough*Just for you.
Also, I'm not asking for episode recommendations, people, I've already seen everything. XD
When I say I'd like him to cover games he likes, I mean in new episodes, and I mean the entire episode is about a game he likes, not a horrible sequel to a game he once loved.

so, does jon actually like flush games and stuff? are they just replicas?
like, the famicon thing in the fish tank worried me a bit.
Actually, another question; Is spaghetti the other bird that Jon had and got rid of? Who is this new one? how many birds besides Jacques does he have now?

THAT MOTHERFUCKER HAS A COPY OF KEIO FLYING SQUADRON I'M SHAKING HIM DOWN FOR IT!
Also, cool episode, i dig the showcase, lots of great games people should seek out that were shown off.
LOL he's got Panorama Cotton too. Dude's showing off his big YouTube money.
I think the Panorama Cotton is a repro, cart shell isn't MegaDrive.
edit: Actually it looks like most of these are either repros/printed labels on other carts hahaha
even the Keio looks like it might just be a printout slapped in the front of another Sega CD game
I spy a Gynoug in that first clip montage, it's one of my favourite Mega Drive games for sure.
I was just about to ask what game that was. Thanks dude!
been looking for an NES copy for years... It's pretty rare and expensive though, as are most of the games featured in this video
Even though Spoony did a better job on Zombie Nation (IMHO) I still liked Jon's review. The 2001 jokes made me laugh my ass off.

Yeah, there is so much meat he left on that bone, so to speak. I honestly wish the video was a bit longer and he gave more time to each game, but still, good exposure for some really cool games.

Samurai Zombie Nation looks amazing, not going to lie.
I haven't seen many episodes of JonTron, but the guy sounds like Nathan Lane.

Game Grumps doesn't exist to me any more. I found other webshows to fill the void, like PeanutButterGamer and Continue.
Honestly felt like it could have been a 2-parter so some games could have had more exposure like that Keio Flying Squadron one, or mention how some of the games are a series. Oh well, still enjoyed the episode and kind of like episodes where there's multiple games to discuss.
In any case, I wish I could find a way to play KFS & that Panorama Cotton (wasn't there one for the Turbografx-16?). & oh how I wish someone could get Zombie Samurai Nation on the Wii U VC....I know Harmful Park is on the JPN PSN as a PS1 Classic.

There's a whole series of Cotton games, but most of them are horizontal 2D shooters. There was one on PC Engine as well as Super Famicom and NGPC and PS2. The series started as an arcade game.
Funny episode, though he didn't spend enough time with each game i feel.

Funny episode. Though I get the impression it was so short because he's not good at these kinds of shmups.

It wouldn't have been shown anyway, he says right at the start of the video that he's only covering the really weird SHMUPs

Opinions and everything, but i think both eras of Grumps are fine. Now if anyone says Ross was better then Jon, well then...

New JonTron was okay. His last really amazing video was Goosebumps imo.
New Game Grumps is absolute garbage. Haven't watched in ages.

Whatever you say. You haven't watched it so you don't even know. I still enjoy it on a daily basis.
