From December 1-25, in addition to a new full Nerd episode that he'll get out before Christmas, James as the Nerd is going to cover some bad video game box art.
Starting with Pro-Wrestling on the Sega Master System.
*There's also a surprise at the end of the video.

Good old Sega Master System's grid box arts...
and that's a side headlock not a chokehold.

The cheap looking Master System boxes always put me off asking for one when I was a kid. I mean look at it, it's just so bland!

Box Art Megaman is a national treasure!

I like to think that the European Mega Man 2 cover art is just recycled cover art from an unreleased Silverhawks game.

I think someone should compete with PWS and their "Starman" and have a stocky, chunky wrestler with no head.
/I think ANYONE should compete/fight PWS.
//Or maybe THEY can get their own headless wrestler to feud with Starman.
///Only cause I'd like certain workers/supporters there to be used for the beheading experiment.

The good thing about SMS cart was hard plastic clam shell case, too bad the box art was often lackluster. Then again I have always been a bit, for lack of a better word, OCDish when it comes to media and the containers they come in. Like sometimes when watching an AVGN or other game reviewers video and they have the wall of games outside of their cases I get a tad bit annoyed.

Yeah I always kept the games in the boxes along with the manuals. I might sound like a bit of a geek, but sometime I enjoy just looking through the boxes and manuals of my retro games. I was staggered to learn over time that gamers would throw the boxes and manuals away. I understand that it creates space, but the cartridges look naked and lost without their packaging. (Yes even the blandly presented Master System games too!)  |

I assume Phalanx is upcoming. Hope so. I just pray that the video is just him staring at the boxart and going "nope, I got nothing" |

I'd love to do an experiment where I show the 'Action Fighter' cover to people with the title covered up, and ask them what they think the title is.
'Road Detective'
'Sherlock Holmes In The City'
'The Building Inspector'
I honestly would not have a clue

Wow, I always assumed that it was the same game.....because it played exactly the same. |
