Contra practice / NES variety stream - Mike Matei Live

[@mikematei]

I fucking sucked on this day contra wise. But stay tuned fuckers.

[@mentallynumb1]

Still way better than I've ever done!

[@OldSchoolCurt]

Mike is right! Back in the early 90s nothing was better than sitting on a couch and playing a video game with friends! Thank you for all the video game playing you do Mike!

[@TheRetroGamerEnthusiast]

That was peak gaming and it might never be the same. I surely played alone, but it was mostly something done with friends, a shared experience. Im 40 now and its just not enjoyable playing many games by myself, especially the shitty and difficult ones. But when you got a friend or two, or 500 in chat and Mike, it makes it fun. Sometimes, with your friends, the hardest and shittiest games can be the funnest! Thanks for the community Mike, except for that one guy, he can go fuck himself.

[@rjzavala87]

3:57:34 HAHA!!!! That was hilarious!!! It fits so well with the deep lore of the nes bein sentient.

[@classicmikecade]

Mike Matei and Contra go well together like macaroni and cheese.

[@andrewwolf4606]

Or like cocaine and waffles, or peanut butter and ladies

[@JohnnyBurnes]

Rad Gravity goes around stabbing amputees. Some hero.

[@Zycyzyx]

Mike losing his mind over "On Demand" like O'Reilly with "Play us out" and the chat slowly having to piece together the intended meaning of the phrase for him bit by bit is pretty damn funny.

[@mikematei]

I still have no idea what it means after all that lol

[@YoungBideo]

100K congrats Mike. You're, in my heart, 100 Million

[@joshuascholar3220]

Super Mario 14 lol more of that!

[@doormatt3190]

The sounds on the screen that says “Hello Rad Gravity” still crack me up from the other time Mike briefly played Rad Gravity on stream

[@JohnnyKlash]

the bit with the bootleg games at the end was great. legendary stream.

[@MiamiSunrise]

at 1:23:28 you will witness Mike's ultimate gamer moment. Impressive. Very impressive.

[@tompinks_]

That ending, what a cliffhanger

[@starlord7956]

This game still awesome its incredible, thanks for playing contra bro, im from chile and I grew up with this game.

[@k.7214]

2:10:30 Watching Mike burn through 6 lives to get Spread was painful 🤣

[@mikematei]

it was a rough practice. Be sure and watch the next one, i do better.

[@jamesmichael561]

Thanks for the entertainment!

[@Ms-13-]

Still firmer than Sean Connery clapping some German butt cheeks about you getting on a Indiana Jones gaming marathon. playing all of them before the movie comes out. I’ll be watching…then you can thank me on stream as everyone watches lol.

[@Prodigalist]

rad gravity is mike's peak, idk how he can go anywhere but down after that game

[@Bobby8451]

Holy Crap! 5 hrs of Contra?!!! Within an hour of playing this game I'm ready to throw the darn thing out the window.

[@mamefan]

It's not 5 hours of Contra. It was 5 loops though.

[@JohnnyBurnes]

Just looked and seems 14 loops is the highest I could find for Contra. The video footage on KZbin is Asian, and shows them dying on the last level. So almost 15!

[@danielblake1537]

I remember getting Bill & Ted for the NES and I loved the films, had both on VHS from a young age but man was I soo confused on what to do in that game lol I remember we even had the Game Genie, and FAQs with my dad trying to help me punch in these stupid phone numbers they could of made that game much more simplified, make it like a platform game and I'm sure anything would of turned out better than this but like with Festers Quest....for me but like Mr.Hyde, Dr.Jekell for the NES you have a love hate relationship with that's how I feel about those games and Friday The 13th lol

[@SonnyBone]

This was the stream before he beat it raw, as they say. Witnessing the 10000000000 in 1 stuff live was magical.

[@krisfrederick5001]

Still one of my favorite games of all time. Playing it the second and third time with my cousin was never a question. Just like Super Mario Bros. 3.

[@DanielBurapavong]

5:55 I regularly used the NES Max controller as a kid, but I'm not an NES Max defender.

[@kevinschlederer9101]

Loved it when u and the video game nerd played played contra together

[@lilypacastsupper8922]

It's funny how massively influential H.R. Giger is on the modern media zeitgeist, yet many people don't realize that or even know who he is. He influenced people who influenced others down the chain.

[@BuzzLightyear-lq7hi]

Alien

[@maxpower_815]

It was so long since i saw you doing Nes variety stream, so many new hacks, i wish you do another nes variety stream soon!

[@The-Zer0th-Law]

The cutoff at the end of the stream was the killer.

[@TheVgrey]

The advantage of the emulator is for those situations where the cartridge is ridiculously expensive

[@F.UNiNJA]

2:12:31 that's for all you ladies out there

[@wesburnett5309]

Need to show james mario 14

[@SonnyBone]

3:57:20

[@mingkey8013]

I remember mike played my request Sunday funday and mike should try Menice beach which is the same game lol.

[@YoungBideo]

Lol mike was legitimately losing his mind the last 2 hours of this stream

[@ronthorne619]

I love the ending to this stream, very abrupt reminds me of an Aqua Teen episode.

[@kambasiartre6187]

3:58:48 Those look like pixelated cumulonimbus culio clouds Mike, "I AM THE CLOUD MASTER".

[@Xearrik]

I like how you spend a few hours playing an amazing game, so your chat makes you suffer for the rest of the stream. "No Mike... You must play bad games!" 🤣 The torture was really kicking in here. 3:25:00 3:57:34 when a grown man thinks a video game is talking to him because he's so out of his mind from playing bad video games. This above clip should be a short or something btw.

[@JohnnyBurnes]

01:23:26 Mike threading the needle.

[@brentkoivopolo6200]

Glad to see you're still living your dreams

[@F.UNiNJA]

Mike is keeping that Energetic Fist strong... you can hear the Rocky music in the background

[@Chaosxinc]

I'm so old, I remember when Mike was firmly anti-emulator, but mainly for the authentic experience.

[@mikematei]

I mean they have lag. But they have their uses, which I stated.

[@Chaosxinc]

@@mikematei I remember when I first got to emulation in the 90's and wanted to see what certain games would be like without the slowdown on hardware. Tried it for an hour before I switched the speed back.

[@TheZaius]

Wow, I remember the Defenders of Dynatron City comic book.

[@k.7214]

3:25:01 3:30:29 Never knew John Zorn made a video game 😂

[@Sammyyups]

I like you Mike

[@circuscharlie54]

When I was a kid, i'm horrified of the Mortal Kombat bootleg

[@Mephianse81]

Is there documentation on this or is this just placebo

[@prasan7561]

Congratulations Mike

[@richardcastro-parker3704]

The Matchbox branded game looked pretty good. Driving round the city as a police officer. You seemed to have a gun.

[@TheVgrey]

Contra is a game that I don't always beat but enjoy it a lot

[@avocadomaster2244]

Mike your videos are badass to put in the background while on acid

[@AlgonquinParkAdventures]

Ron Jeremy is slapping Robocop

[@F.UNiNJA]

2:12:26 feeling that NES burn

[@ExecutiveOdin]

I owned Swordquest Fireworld as a kid and absolutely could not figure it out. I just had the cart with no box or manual or anything and would pop it in every so often to see if I could get anywhere on it. Had forgotten about it mostly until the nerd episode and it blew my mind. No wonder it sucked so fucking bad. I do wonder where those treasure objects are right now though. Probably on the wall in some washed up executives finished basement.

[@mikematei]

I remember telling James about the Swordquest tale. I originally read about it on atariage.

[@cr-nd8qh]

Good shit bro

[@varimkadas6068]

Watching Mike's faith in humanity fade with every terrible hack ...

[@wesburnett5309]

How would u rank the contra games contra, super c, alien wars, hard Corp, and can't forget about contra 4 for the DS hard Corp is your favorite on genesis where do the others rank

[@JohnnyBurnes]

#1's Rogue Corps. Obviously.

[@holdingpattern245]

That Bart Simpson sprite is way too good for Imagineering, although their Game Boy Simpsons games had pretty good Bart Simpson sprites, possibly because those games were made by David Crane.

[@Marsson90]

Mike sure seems to be as psychologically stable as ever in this video.

[@mikematei]

🫠

[@primus103]

CRAZY MARIO 8 THE NEXT FAD IN GAMING!

[@bmshaven]

Robobcop 2 is as trial and error and trolly as they come. This is right up Mike's alley as he is a glutton for punishment. The game was a guilty pleasure of mine at least once I got the platforming down; and the only reason I eventually beat it is because the levels are short and the continues are endless, thus keeping the frustration down a bit. I think Mike should add this to his resume of beaten games once he dedicates some streaming time to it ;)

[@gagadreams]

You make my life more fun too bestie! ☺️

[@cr-nd8qh]

Haha that red dot is tough bro

[@cr-nd8qh]

I had an nes max. It worked good if i used the black outer ring of the d pad i think

[@lilypacastsupper8922]

the old shows were bad but at least they had a live studio audience. Do they even do tthat anymore?

[@Spawn3X5]

Adventures of batman and robin(genesis) blue only run when?

[@Noname15514]

I wonder how Mike feels about the possibility of Star Wars being sold back to George Lucas.

[@mikematei]

I feel like all these old franchises need to end. I dont care who owns it.

[@DigitalNomad765]

Hey Mike 😀😀

[@exitmusic6100]

Hello Michael

[@mikematei]

😦

[@sanchopanza301]

Mike ever stream super mario rpg?

[@YoungBideo]

Have you ever played the Capcom NES game called Trojan ?

[@Denjired]

Let that be a lesson for you, kids: the last hour of the stream shows you why it's not a good idea to buy the SD cards for your Everdrive for 1 cent off of Craigslist. You never know what you are gonna get XD Game that still needs a link on your Games I've Beaten On Stream list: -Master Of Darkness (Sega Master System)

[@SLINKLYDLINKLY]

I like the multi-part videos. Your Final Fantasy playthrough was great all the way through, same with the Torneko ones. Nightmare of Druaga just wasn't as interesting.

[@gsbtee-heeheewhoopee8511]

Hey Mike. I owned Bayou Billy as a kid too and I also didn't like it at first but once you master the controls then it becomes a decent and challenging game. #stoptheBayouBillyHate 😆👊🐊💥 Bayou Billy Rules 🤣

[@HaydenTheHistorian]

Best ending

[@Sulcuryalt_Inone]

"It's like Cecil". Hmm.

[@mingkey8013]

😊

[@aaronflament]

Mikey or Mike true king if man baby gaming

[@AndreSP89]

Hey Mike, give Metroid Rogue Dawn NES Hack a try!

[@mtgAzim]

Hey Mike, got an idea'r. There's a good amount of us that primarily catch the show either here on yt, or watch the replays on twitch. Some of us don't even have an actual twitch account. On my phone browser, I always have at least one tab on your twitch channel so I can occasionally pop it up and refresh it to see if there's a new stream. But when you take a break or vacation, it can slip from some people's minds. So the idea'r is, if you wanted to, you could make a youtube short or a community post when you're back. That way all of us without twitch accounts can know to head back over there. So you could just say something like "Hey everyone, took a little break there. But I'm back, and we're doin some Genesis games tonight!" And then all of us youtube poors can slink our way over to twitch, leaving our non-subscribing slug trail behind us.

[@brentkoivopolo6200]

Simon Peter is the name of Jesus' Chief disciple. It's not a dirty word.

[@onslaughtray9577]

hey Mick! if you want a real challenging game... try "Another World." I rage quit that game after getting to level 2

[@TheRetroGamerEnthusiast]

Why you drinking out of a Pizza Hut cup from 1992?

[@mikematei]

is there someone that doesn't?

[@BoredandDumb]

Even with the contra code i never finished this game, that's how bad i sucketh

[@DrRobotnikPingas]

I rather play Color A Dinosaur than play the LJN Video Art

[@kirkanos3968]

LOLLOL My wife just got one of the cheap cheap 5 buck handhelds on temu the thing is a joke but for 5 bucks works great on the shiter, the funny part is was playing super mario 14 today on it. my face looked just like yours WTF is this lol.Soo happy you found that really needed this video today

[@aaronflament]

Thursday vu wre a rush mike

[@AlienFrequency]

Near the start of loop 4, you said Family Matters is bad like Small Wonder lol… That’s a bit of a stretch, no? Ok, the dying days of Family Matters where Steve would walk into the port-o-John & turn into Stephon… those were really bad…. Ok, maybe worse than Small Wonder. I think you may have considered me haha. You’ll never convince me that Tears of the Kingdom is bad though. That game is fantastic.

[@txretrogaming]

In nes games everything wants to kill you

[@commentresurrection1841]

Play Ninja Gaiden with a dreamcast mouse and only using your butt

[@jamesc8259]

Mayor McCheese 🍔

[@firetiger1021]

Watch out for the logs.. heh.. logs of shit

[@aaronflament]

It's about money with Disney like the biardeay shows based on them here in NYC the remakes don't need to be if updated with new characters female genie would be a new story new setting and charwcters Disney remakes it like on Disney plus Pinocchio with Tom Hanks

[@aaronflament]
