* ChallengeGamer: Challenge videos are a huge chunk of Nate's channel, most notably with his "Is it Possible" videos. In most of these videos, [[SelfImposedChallenge Nathaniel engages in a challenge that goes beyond the game's rules.]]

* SoloCharacterRun: Nathaniel challenged himself to beat VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 and VideoGame/SonicHeroes while only playing as Sonic.[[invoked]]

Nathaniel has some defunct series of videos that he did in the earlier days of his channel. These include Let's Plays called the Frustration Series, where he usually tries to complete difficult video games. He's also done a series of videos called 'How Will Nathaniel Rage??' which acts as a game show parody where the viewer guesses how Nathaniel will vent out his rage from playing NintendoHard games.

* ClothesEatingWager: Nathaniel wrote on Twitter that he would eat his shorts if Ridley got in VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate, eat his shirt if Steve got in, and eat his hat if there was new VideoGame/MarioKart content. When each of these things actually happened, he actually followed through with individual videos chewing as much of the clothes item until he had to spit it out.

* ShamelessSelfPromotion: In his first "Top 10 Mario Games" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn9edkWgvGk video,]] Nathaniel gave no less than FIVE shameless plugs of his other content, some of which not even being on his channel anymore.

** In 2019, he made a [[https://youtu.be/k-vYUBHx4SI?si=Upk8OdvQ3SVXAjhD video]] ranking every single Super Mario Maker level. At least, that's how the video started before he kept changing the ranking topic.
