I had just sat and watched like more than half of the AVGN Seasons a week prior to playing this game and I'm really glad I did. I had seen the whole series for years, but now that I refreshed my view on it, it kinda made the game really fun as a huge callback to all the episodes, each episode having representation somewhere and just felt like a novel comeback to something long forgotten.

The platforming is pretty tight as well as the shooting is pretty good, it's no Contra, but it feels great. The difficulty REALLY ramps up if you play the stages in orders from left to right, kinda goes from a fun romp to my god why is this so precise? since this is a remaster, some things were adjusted such as bosses and collectables just to name a few, but mostly for the better.

The music is actually extremely good for most of the stages, it really reminded me of old NES jams but slightly modernized.

Something I may find myself repeating in the second game review, but the best part about the game is The Nerd's dialogue, it reminds me of how funny he once was without effort and was skirting the line of being over the top, while now he feels like a parody of himself...ironic since this game is a parody of the show, but the dialogue is prefect.
