In the late 1980s, Nintendo was working on CD-based add-on for the current console, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. While initially partnering with Sony, they later tried it out with Philips. Even after both deals went south for Nintendo, Sega decided to try out the same kind of peripheral for their own system, the Sega Genesis (also known as the Sega Mega Drive). The first few years of the Sega CD seemed hopeful, with games that featured famous film actors and full-motion video. Initially, some people saw it as an evolution for video games, due to the games' advanced graphics and high production values. It wasn't long after the Sega CD was released, however, that people started realizing how unnecessary the add-on really was. Because the device was so unusual, it was hard to develop more "natural" video games, which is resulted in a slew of games known as "interactive movies."
In this episode, the Nerd will delve into the library of the Sega CD and see why it was such a commercial failure. He'll cover many titles, some of which are classic genres you'd expect on the Genesis, while others are failed experiments at making a movie out of a video game.
Even after all of financial trouble Sega suffered, they had no intentions to kill off the Genesis so quickly. Check out the next episode to see the even more controversial add-on, the ill fated Sega 32X: • Sega 32X - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

Before there was monetization, sponsors and internet fame there was this guy. A creator out of passion. An artist and pioneer. I love reliving my childhood with AVGN
-
God, it's crazy how oddly heartfelt the extended intro felt. Like, they could almost forsee the amount of nostalgia it would make us feel. You are a pioneer James
-
"Full motion video, as opposed to video that isn't full motion!" Most underrated line of the entire AVGN series
-
Man, I got shivers hearing the extended guitar version. The perfect way to honour previous eps, by working funny, memorable moments into a song. Tremendously creative and charming. Beautiful. Wish they did it for 200
-
This is like watching the full version of an Anime Intro
-
This may be the most chill AVGN video. Even when he's being angry, he sounds chill.
-
This era of YouTube and Screwattack. Sorely missed.

2008 AVGN: "Corpse Killer consider yourself Lucky" 13 Years Later Corpse Killer's luck is finally ran out
-
"Yo, crushed him like a walnut - and sprinkle him on some salad - AND PUT SOME DRESSING ON THE BOY" "Ooh! Ace must have on ankle weights!"
-
This thing was expensive. The genesis was $129, and this was $299! You’d be paying $428 for the whole set, and your electrical bills would be higher due to these requiring separate power cables.

It's such a shame that the Sega CD suffered so much from marketing and an overall poor library because there was a lot of good stuff on there, too. Sonic CD, Snatcher, Popful Mail, Shining Force, Earthworm Jim Special Edition, the Ecco games, a ton of shoot 'em ups... So much good stuff. So much potential.
-
“You’re just going around beating the shit out of animals”. Best description for a game ever.
-
"'And since the neighborhood really sucks—' Like this game sucks!" I love the Nerd's little sarcastic barbs like that. Always perfectly timed.
-
It's been a while since I heard the entire intro.
-
Corpse Killer consider yourself lucky for being in the new AVGN episode.
-
"Sol Fiece, MORE LIKE SOL FECES! Actually this is pretty good!" - AVGN
-
Sega CD: At least we're not CD-I
-
Its very awesome to give us different variations of the Nerd intro. "Why can't a turtle swim...why can't I land a plane..?"
-
watching these old AVGN episodes over again is like meeting an old friend from your childhood
-
People think AVGN doesn't understand the impact he's had on pop culture but i think he's just so meta he's way beyond our lifetimes' comprehension
