Video Game Reunion - Adult Nintendo Parody Webseries

05.24.2011 - Infinity's End

Today was the unveiling of the 14th and final episode of the first season of Video Game Reunion, an excellent video game parody webseries which makes classic video game characters come to life (similar to that of Legend of Neil, another fantastic Atom Films-based video game parody). Video Game Reunion features all the classic Nintendo characters of the 80's, reuniting in a hotel for a convention. Why should you watch VGR? Well, beyond the hilarious and extremely professional writing, camerawork, editing, and acting, it also has Samus in it. You might even recognize her costume; it was created by the great Samus cosplayer, Thais Yuki. Samus is also played by actress Amy Bloom, a brunette, which is a nod to the suitless Samus from Metroid 1.

The series is very tongue-in-cheek, but has some very subtle, well-written jokes that only hardcore Nintendo junkies might get. This show is definitely not for anyone under then age of 18, not just because of the adult-related humor, but of the fact that if you were born after, say, 1995, you just might not be old enough to get or appreciate some of the jokes.

VGR has completed their first season, so who knows what is going to happen next for the crew. All I know is Season 2 cannot come soon enough.
