Welcome, friends, to the introduction video of another series, where I'll be playing each of the Action 52 games in order. This should be as interesting as it is frustrating.

Action 52 is a NES game that retailed for a whopping $200, but offer 52 "unique" games to play. As far as I know, it didn't sell well at first, but later became a cult classic when videomakers like the Angry Video Game Nerd and others did some popular reviews on it. The games are rushed and, in some parts, completely broken and unbeatable, but it's a really interesting part of NES history and I'm excited to check it out.

I've always wanted to cover Action 52, but I didn't know how to do it in order to give it a fair shake. I think a video for each game is the perfect way to do that. That way we can test them all out for as long or as short as we like and not have to worry about fitting it all into a few different videos. My plan is to give each a 'first impression' style review, which should be more than enough for the majority of these games (which are notoriously poor, for the most part), and then extend any reviews into multiple episodes if they are worth playing longer. I don't expect many of the games to make me feel that way, but I'm sure there will be a few that deserve the extra time.

I'm really excited for this, it's a game I've wanted to cover for a long time, and you probably know by now how much I love broken games. Also these videos will be nice for my current limited recording time, as I'm sure a lot of them will end up being 5 or 10 minutes long. That's ending soon by the way -- I'm almost out of overtime mode. Let me know what you think in the comments!


---[ Series Information ]---------------

53 Days of Action 52 is a series where I go through each of the games on the NES Action 52 cartridge in order, with the final episode being the legendary Cheetahmen. We'll give each game a 'First Impression' style review, with each episode lasting as long or short as the game warrants, and hopefully we will find a few that are good enough to make additional videos on.

You can find the playlist for this series here: (no you can't, because if you're reading this then Squiggs forgot to edit it in. You should probably tell him what a dummy he is.)
