  Bethesda designing an elder scrolls game exclusive to a weird phone-game hybrid thing nobody wants is somehow very on brand for them

  the fact you had to remove the battery to change games is a sign that Nokia was a phone manufacturer first, game console maker second<br>it&apos;s actually kind of like switching SIM cards on their old phones

  What I love about the Worst Ever series is that it fully disects whatever hardware is featured. Most other people would just show things off, laugh and say &quot;wow look at how bad this is,&quot; and then end things at around 15 minutes or so, but the Rerez team really dive deep and deconstruct every aspect about a video game system&apos;s faults and explain why systems fail. Even the not so obvious causes. I&apos;ve learned so much about the gaming industry just from these videos. It&apos;s like I&apos;m watching a docummentary each time.

  The commitment to the bit of not letting Adam finish &quot;It&apos;s Just Bad&quot; - incredible.

  I worked at EB Games as a second job during the N-Gage&apos;s V2 release. We had about 20 of them in the back room. Not a single one sold. Nor did any of the games. I still have a picture of the backroom with the stacks of N-Gages.

  You need to remove the battery to enter the game, which is the reason why game piracy was rampant at that time. People just need to copy and save the game files to the system/app folder.

  I love that mini Just Bad Games segment during this episode. Makes me feel like it’d be possible to see more mini JBG segments in future Worst Ever episodes

  Fun fact: Ngage actually pretty popular in my country Indonesia, because it was the first phone released in my country that can be used to emulate gameboy games which is a big deal considering how hard to find real gameboy cartridge in Indonesia
