I was in tears at the Grilled Mormon part:
"Whoa, whoa, what's going on, I didn't know it was alright to eat those guys, I better check the Broble"

JonTron confirmed as new Plinkett from RedLetterMedia ECH
edit: just finished the review. I lost it an the japanese part. Jontronime
He did mention in his MAGFest panel this year that he tried his hands on making a video of the game a long time ago and suggested that he was possibly going to give it another shot.
He was playing it on a real Famicom, though. In fact, I don't remember a single video of his where he didn't use the real game console and game, but I might be wrong.
He's not, he's using a hacked rom, since it was in English. And JonTron records all of his footage from emulators, his footage always looks perfectly clear as if the NES was outputting the signal from HDMI, which it obviously does not.
Just because he had a Famicom and a copy of the real thing, doesn't mean he was playing from it.
He's playing the fan translated rom and the capture is basically perfect, so unless he has an RGB modded famicom and he got somebody to flash the fan translation on the existing copy, the footage was probably coming from an emulator.

Ah yes; somehow I forgot about the fact that the game was in English. :x

I was disappointed that he missed a couple things.
One, you actually have to pay attention to that map you get. Yes, after all of that, during the hang-gliding segment it's possible to completely miss landing on the correct island. If you keep going, you get to a fifth island and get a game over. And even at the correct island, you have to descend at exactly the right place or you'll touch the land/mountain itself and crash.
Two, if you wait an extra 5 minutes at the black end screen with Takeshi's face, he says "You actually bothered to finish this crappy game? Sucker. Don't take it so seriously."

Wow... I'm seriously fascinated by this game.
Also, the protag's jump animation is amazing.

O_O Wow...I can't believe this is actually a game. Kinda intriguing.
Lost it when you can murder your wife and children.

That was pretty funny. You want a Conker game? Make it yourselves.

I'm not a Rare fan, but I definitely am a Conker fan. It was a knife to the back.

Holy shit, that new video...it is so good on so many levels.
It really summarizes how I feel about a lot of franchises that have come and gone over the years.

Fucking Vib Ribbon tease...

I'm surprised so many people took the Vib Ribbon mention the wrong way. I never got the impression that they would ever make another one since they never bothered localizing the pseudo-sequels during the PS2 era.
I thought they were teasing a retro Playstation IP revival, not Vib Ribbon specifically. It turned out to be fucking Mortal Kombat.
I guess this is how people that were disappointed with the Tropical Freeze reveal felt.

Might be one of my favorite episodes he's done. Loved the ending.

When I first saw him do that, I thought he was doing that gag in cartoons where they rip the scenery.
Then I realized it was a light.

LOL! Yeah that part was hilarious.
