Angry Videogame Nerd Episode 5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles NES Review Video

TMNT for NES! Angry Nintendo Nerd returned with episode 5 on June 21st 2006 in what proved to be his breakout video review hit for 8bit NES. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles NES was his most popular review yet and arguably the single video review that gained him the most Internet stardom. 



It was with his TMNT review that ScrewAttack caught wind of this rising star, and inked a deal with James Rolfe to have his videos featured on ScrewAttack.com. This would lead to very lucrative dealings in the future for The Nerd, as it eventually lead to his reviews being exclusively featured on GameTrailers.com as one of their major features (Gametrailers being owned by MTV).

This was also the first video review to officially feature a Title Card. Additionally, two memorable quotes from this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles NES review, including "Why can't a turtle swim?" and "Cowabunga? Cowa-fucking piece of dog shot!" would make their way into the official Angry Nintendo Nerd intro theme in later episodes.
