DAMN YOU FRUIIIIIITTT!!!!
This review was very entertaining, one of your best videos in a long time. I especially liked the part when you guys where cleaning the table, that was pretty funny!
Next time put a cutting board on the table first, Joe.
“HIEEEYA!!!!!” *SLICE!* (chopped in one slice)
“Holy Shit! That was awesome!…. Holy Shit! I fucked up the table! Uhhh…. NINJA VANISH!” *POOF!*
I hate to make a gif. I just had to, http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpzi715aui1qd57kno1_500.gif
anyway, great review Joe! Funny as hell!
Well, I definitely learned something here today: put down a cutting board before you demonstrate your ninja-badassary XD.
I hate to be a Grammar Nazi, but I counted four errors in your review, Joe:
$10 DOLLARS –> either $10 or 10 DOLLARS, not both
$.99 CENTS –> see above
YOU MURDER –> YOU MURDERER
THATS SICK –> THAT’S SICK
It reminds me of going to the store and seeing something priced as “.75[cent sign]“. That means I should be able to buy it for a penny and get change back.
“Because bad grammar is kewl!”
Geez, now I see why they add the “nazi” part.
Why is it whenever someone says “I hate to be/do X,” they then immediately proceed to be/do X? They must not hate it that much.
Oops, time to redeem myself….
What I meant to say is: Joe, next time don’t let the Nostalgia Critic write your copy.
ningas hate fruit, this is now canan
And now please “the fruit of the north star Kenshiro Edition” of this please XD
atatatatata
that fruit is already dead^^
The kinect didn’t seem to recognize the side of Joe’s stomach. So with the shoulder pads his shadow looked like either a skeleton warrior or a Turian from mass effect.
I’m waiting for the first “Tecktonik Fruit Kata” on youtube… it’s gonna be incredibly funny!
oh, and Semysane, we all hate you
Ermac Joe wins….. FRUITALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I recently asked M$ why they dont price more games at 400 MS points instead of 800. This is what they had to say:
“We’re sorry but we dont understand the question. Last time we checked, the number 800 is higher than 400. Why would we go out of our way to choose a lesser number?”
TABLE-SAN, NOOOOOOOO!
The game does look fun indeed (although the price is off-putitng). But still 1 fun game is not enough to get me to buy Kinect.
Looks like I got the best possible deal here since I won a code for the game. Let me tell you, this game is a LOT of fun at 0 Microsoft points!
I guess we know what Joe’s having for lunch…
10 bucks! thats crazy!
Ahhhh, the EyeToy. I mean Kinect. I mean EyeToy. I mean… EyeToy. Still proving to be fun for giggles 8 years on. So, where is Play PS3, Sony? The DLC model would have suited that game perfectly and instead they give us absolutely nothing (except a card game and a tamagotchi, neither of which are suitable for a party environment). Seriously, WTF?!?
EDIT : Oh, and this video gives a whole new meaning to the term ‘jump cuts’.
at least they have Playstation Move’s sports champions game..I love the sword gladiator combat in that
poor table XD
Ermac’s Dojo? meh I prefer Cooking with Scorpion myself. XD
You’ve got to love Other Joe’s dance styles at the end – when he started doing the robot I started busting up.
Oh come one Joe! Where’s Captain America review?
Hey, video editing is hard work. Maybe he needed a break of sorts.
Game does look fun, but I’m not sure that even 400 points is the right price for a game that’s $1 on any ap store. That’s still $5.
“Hey, video editing is hard work. Maybe he needed a break of sorts.”
He needed a break…from editing a video game review…so he shot and edited another game review?
Sorry, but WTF kinda logic is that?
You know what, never mind.
No, he needed a break from playing crappy movie-licensed games. He has to play them before he can make a video about them. In fact, he pretty much has to beat them.
Also, it’s possible this was intended to be a backup review–to be released when he’s too busy. He just happened to have to use it right away.
sounds like my kinda of game, I wish to practice my special, Katana Gamer-Style Ninjitsu. How long do you think it’ll take for the price to drop?
What someone on this site really needs to review is the Lord of the Rings War in the North. Cause I really want to buy it but I don’t know if it’s any good.
Now that you’ve called me out, it’s clear that I need to return to this game and defend my Fruit Ninja honor.
Also note that if you pick up a copy of The Gunstringer in September, also included is Fruit Ninja! Hyah!!!
EPIC watermelon fatality!!!!
I envy you. You got to cut a watermelon in half with a Katana
Rest in peace, Table. *sniff* You where my favorite character.
That seems like simple mindless fun.
Yeah, get that water melon! This is why I love Angry Joe so much.
Next time, just get the table, too. No prisoners.
8:22: Also, I’m done with common cutlery
Actually looks quite fun and accurate, still just a minigame though as you pointed out.
Other Joes dancing while playing was hilarious!!
That was great!
Good job on the review.
Ew….the table….um yeah get some wood putty for that. Nice review, to bad about the price.
Man, that bit at the end where Joe fell with the sword could have ended really badly… But it looks like you had fun with the watermelon splitting, and both the watermelon and the table got what they deserved.
I can kinda sorta guess that the bloopers were added in to fill the running time a bit (not that I mind at all, I love blooper reels), but I honestly don’t mind – don’t get me wrong, I enjoy most of Joe’s videos regardless of how long they are, but I wouldn’t mind seeing a few more short and sweet reviews like this in the future.
Don’t fall on your sword now Joe or else the watermelon wins.
Other Joe must teach me that dance!
Very fun review, you made my day Joe… again!
Metal Gear Rising, you met a new challenger of watermelon slicing!
I guess R. Lee Erney isn’t the only threat to watermelons.
Don’t forget about Gallager
Wow! Nice cut!
Although be careful with these cheap swords. They may be sharp but they are often shoddily made: Poor heat treatment, stainless steel (brittle. carbon steel is much more durable) and worst of all, some of them come with blade attached to rat-tail tang which snaps from the welding spot, sending the blade flying.
If yours is built with full tang, then its not as dangerous but the blade may still snap or shatter from misuse or badly botched cuts, depending how it was heat treated and what steel was used, so take care.
A lot of people have been injured by these show-piece swords. Just a friendly warning from old sword hobbyist.
Why is it I can easily imagine the concept for this game used in a Naruto filler? (sorry couldn’t resist making a Naruto joke).
Still, it makes you wonder what ninjas hate more: fruit or pirates?
The game seems like fun, but at that price… I think I’ll wait until “The Gunstringer” is released and get Fruit Ninja with the code that comes with that game.
Sweet Jesus, Joe, what did that watermelon ever do to you?
3:52 – 3:58
HOKUTO POMEGRANATE KEN!
“You were already eaten.”
No no no , you should do it like this:
*Incoming pomegranate*
*Tears his shirt off while constipating*
AAAATATATATATATATATATATATATA…WHAATATATATATATATATATATATATATA WHAAAATATATATTATATATATA…WHATCHAAAAAAAAH !!!!1 >80
“HOKUTO , POMEGRANATE KEN !”
I have a Windows Phone 7 phone and bought Fruit Ninja on it. It was $3.00. I paid 3 bucks for a version of the game that has achievements and probably won’t be updated as frequently as the other mobile versions (though I think I’ve gotten my money’s worth out of it). When looking at it that way, having an HD version of the game to play on a TV with 2-player support and on a piece of technology I shelled $150 for (I haven’t bought a Kinect, so this is just a “what if” scenario), 10 bucks doesn’t sound THAT bad. Still, it seems a tad overpriced, but looks pretty fun. Good review, Joe!
The “Bruce Lee” fruit was a pomegranate I believe.
Looks very addictive. Senor Watermelon really had it coming to be sliced by that katana sword. Fruits be warned! Nice review Joe.
You gave me the idea… then I’m gonna practice it and next year for my karate show…
I’m gonna cut a watermelon in two with a Katana… then I’m gonna do slices with Saïs…
Sweet Christmas, you used an actual sword?! Why didn’t you use a cutting board, man?
The poor table.
