Miracle Piano (NES) Lost Angry Nintendo Nerd episode from 2006

sean.orourke — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 20:00:08 +0000

April 6th 2006 was the day that the ‪JamesNintendoNerd‬ channel was created (even though the first video was posted on April 8th), making today the 20th anniversary of the Angry Video Game Nerd and Cinemassacre on YouTube! For the special occasion here is a lost Angry Nintendo Nerd episode from 2006 on the Nintendo Miracle Piano.

For the past 20 years, this “episode” only existed as raw footage. I didn’t think it was very good, and I later covered the Miracle Piano in the NES Accessories episode, deeming the original footage obsolete. But after all this time has passed, I decided you may want to see it, since it’s a vintage piece of Nerd history. So I finally edited it!

It’s a game about two alien rappers, random presents, and trying not to fall off the planet. It’s weird, confusing, creative, and exactly the kind of game that leaves the Nerd asking, “What were they thinking?!”
