[@PlasmaBoom]

James and Mike Mondays is my favorite "Let's Play" type show. Because it is different than any other that I have seen. When most people do a gaming show on KZbin, either they play the game with a camera pointed at them the whole time or they just talk into a microphone over the gameplay footage. This show however has everything. You guys cuts out all of the boring stuff, you just show the gameplay when that is what should be focused on, and whenever something epic happens it cuts to your guys reaction on camera. It's everything you could want in a gameplay show in my opinion.

[@JamesNintendoNerd]

PlasmaBoom Thanks! I edit it that way for exactly those reasons! Glad you enjoy the show. - Mike

[@MilesMetal]

Cinemassacre I't would be cool to have an un-abridged version uploaded to the Extras channel.

[@JackTheripper911]

Miles_Metal... 8-Bit Metal, Video Game and Film Covers that would be cool, i'd like to see the unedited version of their monday videos.

[@MilesMetal]

Jack The ripper With enough up-votes and comments, it could happen.

[@Mutant1988]

Mickael Mc That's not a good Lets Play though. You can't really dismiss an entire genre of videos based on it's worst examples. Sturgeon's law - 90% of everything is crap. Doesn't mean that everything is. Slowbeef puts out good Let's Plays. Though I'm more of a fan on the video game riffs (The wrongpuraes) he and his fellow goons make. I also subscribe to Helloween, but I haven't really watched any of his videos lately.

[@itscrono7073]

"Many more Mondays, many more games" 6 years later, RIP J&M Mondays

[@adamantium4797]

​@@gurvmlkMondays jus keep going. And they don't fk em

[@Top10WizardReviews]

Who knew that "many more Mondays, many more games" would actually become the catchphrase.

[@mitchzurbrigg2403]

And now the show has ended :( no more Mondays

[@BroBuster]

No more Mondays :(

[@alexsilva28]

:'(

[@joshuaarmstrong377]

😭

[@iurikroth2281]

no more mondays, no more games

[@Peter_1986]

12:15-12:36 The birth of the phrase "Many more mondays, many more games"!

[@RetroRupp]

What I really enjoy about James & Mike Mondays, is how it continues to remind me that there are other people besides myself that like to just hang out and play these older games still. It's very nostalgic to me. My friends are only into cutting edge, graphic intense, online, pc games.

[@seansemones7150]

same here

[@OskrNavarroC7]

Same here !! You are not Alone 😁

[@RetroRupp]

Yay!! I should be hanging out with you guys then. Lol

[@DyoKasparov]

You up fo some megaman deathmach boiii??? xD

[@RetroRupp]

***** Just looked that up, because I didn't even know it was a thing. It looks pretty fun! Lol

[@kovyiscool]

I'd like to hear more of James's epic video game stories from the past and maybe mike could animate it? I think that would be cool

[@Freddyfan1428]

kovyiscool That would actually be pretty damn cool, especially if they could so it in a comic book style, or even just like a series of the opening Title Cards Mike used to draw to introduce the episodes (I kinda miss them!)

[@mitchbedard8526]

kovyiscool i concur, awesome idea. mike and james u should get on this.... i know you are reading these comments mike!

[@kovyiscool]

Yeah, James has a natural gift for storytelling so it could work. I'm glad other people seem to agree.

[@jayrod2]

kovyiscool I agree, I would enjoy this.

[@xxxfealerxxx]

kovyiscool That would get jame's youtube views out of the shitter. I just miss when James did most of his content without mike,.I hardly even watch james because of how just cringfully unfunny mike is.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

Metroid Fusion is badass as fuck, dude it's basically like a horror sci-fi game. Dunno how many times I freaked the hell out whenever Samus's suit would show up like the damn Terminator ready to wreck the shit out of me. It had a really cool storyline too

[@stacetheface47]

AlphaOmegaSin Right. I replayed it a few months back and I was blown away by the pacing and atmosphere. I love how much variety the level design had the fact the atmosphere felt like it was out to kill you. Plus SA-X is one of the most terrifying villainess ever.

[@BGL19283]

It's my favorite Metroid game to date. It did everything right. AlphaOmegaSin

[@sa-x19]

+AlphaOmegaSin It's like a portable Dead Space, loved every second of it even though the bosses can be a bit tricky.

[@Sypaka]

+AlphaOmegaSin The SA-X? omg, I remember. It's creepy as f**k.

[@AtlasBlizzard]

+AlphaOmegaSin That game really puts you on edge. Everything about Ridley's appearance was masterful.

[@ArmstrongNYC]

I like the discussions of the "early KZbin days" when it was rare to find someone recording footage of an NES game, before the phenomenon of let's plays that this has grown into today.

[@GameSack]

James and Mike Mondays vs Garfield? Anyway to record DS games you have to pay to get your DS modified. It doesn't send a video signal out. You hook USB up to your computer to use with proprietary software. And it doesn't work with the Mac. That pisses me off to no end.

[@GameSack]

***** I just pointed the camera at the screen for those. It was a huge pain actually and made it very tough to play the games.

[@DrymouthCWW]

Hey game sack i like your youtube content. Keep it coming

[@TheJadeknight7]

Game Sack Aren't there video recorder kits for the 3DS? You can play DS games there too.

[@GameSack]

Jade Knight Yes, same thing. Sends data over the USB and not an actual video signal. Lame!

[@PaulBadman]

Game Sack Could always use an android box but the touch screen stuff wouldn't be possible but most modern smartphones mini HDMI out I know my Z3 does

[@furorteutonicus9045]

The music in level 1 is pretty great for a Game Boy game. I never got it out of my head as a kid.

[@alexsilva28]

Sounds even better than the nes version

[@Ryo]

for a gameboy contra, this is AMAZING

[@Ghenry]

You guys really need to do yourselves a favor and play Contra: Shattered Soldier on PS2. It's an incredible installment and has a lot of amazing throwbacks. You'll recognize a lot of the enemies in it and they're more visceral than ever before.

[@thirdimpacted]

"Did you see what just happened?!" "No sorry. I went to the kitchen and made a sandwich. I forgot we were recording an episode."

[@MegaPewPew]

Ya, I love Mike, and I love how the attitude has shifted over the years. When he 1st started many hated him. Love motherfuckingmike.

[@4thoseabout2r0ck4]

retroralph Now they love him long time.

[@UFGatorsFBFan]

myusername0wns I don't know, he cracks me up in Board James.

[@Theealterego]

You can thank his shaft for all the love he's receiving xD lmao I'm kidding but he is entertaining

[@ALPHAMARIOX]

Metroid Fusion is one of my all time favorite Metroid titles, despite the game being more objective-based than the previous ones.

[@Lily_Valentine]

There are capture devices in Japan for DS and 3DS. I don't know if there is an English version yet. Here are some bad Gameboy games I am aware of: - Beetlejuice - Alien vs Predator: The Last of His Clan - James Bond 007 - Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - Superman - Castelian Here are some other games the Nerd can rip into: - Medal of Honor: Underground (Gameboy Advance) - Deep Blue (TurboGrafx-16) - Mr. Bones (Sega Saturn) - Spirit of Speed 1937 (Dreamcast) - Revolution X (Super Nintendo) - Strider Returns: Journey from Darkness (Sega Genesis)

[@TritnewNG]

Mr. Bones is decent though, and has one of the most likable main characters ever

[@wyattbradford344]

Castlevania 2 Belmont's Revenge is a great Game Boy game, it would be awesome to see you guys play it together

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

I loved being able to choose the castles you go to in that game:P

[@RetroDeath]

'select start' isn't really part of the code, it's just meant to switch to multiplayer with the code instead of single player. A common mistake.

[@MrZillas]

Played that 30 years ago at the beach. Amazing.

[@RobinHoodFox74]

This was one of my favorite Game Boy games as a kid! I can't believe anyone would say this is bad... it's one of the best Contra games ever, at the same level as Contra and Super C in my book :)

[@ClassicCartoonGamer]

Not the best Contra game but it sure as hell gets way more hate then it really deserves. Thanks for another entertaining video James and Mike!

[@quwe8807]

To true

[@Igneeka]

***** All contra games aren't the best contra game ? And...People like Contra...right ?...Right ? I mean the 2 player mode is fun (even nowadays)

[@gozinta82]

***** I agree, but I still have trouble getting into Neo Contra. Something about it annoys me half-way through.

[@howdoiputthecheeseintheove8437]

The new cod game gets heaps of praise, even though its the same cod game Operation c, gets trolls and nintendo haters to hate this awsome game

[@reesercliff]

Dan Man10 Gaming the COD games also get tons of hate, sometimes more than it deserves. The games are overrated but certainly not bad games.

[@MagnaRyuuDesigns]

Ten Lives Code: At Start Screen Press.... Up(x4), Down(x4), Left(x4), Right(x4), B, A, and Start

[@MagnaRyuuDesigns]

Magna Ryuu Stage Select Code Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, B, A, and Start

[@migueeeelet]

Magna Ryuu up up down left right left down up left blablalba I dont remember the ikari warriors code XD

[@migueeeelet]

Stefano Pavone nono, the stage select code XD

[@jackofalltrades417]

Stefano Pavone is that the code 4 ikari warriors

[@les907]

Magna Ryuu Don't you love how loyal we are to Nintendo that we simply had to give the correct code to a game that is 24 years old, even though if someone actually needed it that they could have found on the internet a long time ago?

[@EnergyOM]

In Germany this game was released, but it was called PROBOTECTOR...and the main character was a robot instead of a human soldier.

[@LSKOSTAS]

In Greece as well...PROBOTECTOR all the way...awesome game

[@timboslice1979]

Always loved the Contra ricochet sound! You knew you were kicking the enemy's ass!

[@jayrod2]

I beat Contra before breakfast

[@jayrod2]

Thanks buddy!

[@utubepunk]

jayrod2 Yeah, they're awesomely sharp. Please consider uploading some tutorials. Thanks!

[@11gingin]

jayrod2 *i do my killing before breakfast

[@Shmandalf]

Can't start the day without my Napalm Flakes!

[@thesaiyangamer1015]

omg! its u! btw, how long does it usally take to make a custom themed console?

[@Ragesauce]

James, if you haven't played link's awakening yet, you're in for a real treat. It still holds up today, such a fun adventure for a portable.

[@FretzlemaniaPod]

When I was a kid, I changed the words of the Folgers jingle to "The best part of waking up, is taking a great big dump"... at 31 I still find that funny and find it very true

[@SMoklahoma000]

Thank you for making my Mondays and any days better watching you guys play video games the highlight of my day... Thanks a lot guys keep it up!

[@georgenelson9211]

Guys Game Boy was THE SHIT!!! I am very surprised you 2 did not play more Game Boy!

[@timlarsson]

I wouldn't be sad to see a multi-part let's play of Link's Awakening, especially since James haven't played it. And not a condensed version, but a long extended series.... We want to see you struggle! ;)

[@cachos-story-lab]

Honestly I loved mine, batteries lasted a ridiculous amount of time and to me that made all the difference. I had Battletoads, Castlevania and Tetris (probably more but those I remember) I loved all of them

[@Goofy8907]

I agree Mike, Metroid Fusion is amazing!

[@mistergacado4400]

Me three!!

[@cynicalstew6563]

+Mister Gacado Metroid Fusion is one of my favorite games!

[@thinkstump]

METROID FUSION!!!

[@b.lloydreese2030]

it was cool, but waaay TOO linear

[@mistergacado4400]

+B. Lloyd Reese I think it's a good metroid game to play before any of the other ones. Out of the 2d games I would say it's the least cryptic and most accessible.

[@batrocious3831]

I love James & Mike Mondays!

[@SpergerKing]

Batrocious me too.

[@omikronweapon]

The earliest recorded game footage I remember seeing was a speedrun of Mario 3 I downloaded off of KaZaa or something similar. I found it in 2005, but it was probably slightly older than that. I sort of remember recording my NES myself, but only for the novelty of being able to get it to work, not to keep the gameplay. Wish I thought of it back then.

[@dec081]

I always look forward to watching these before I go to bed Sunday night. Thanks for the entertainment guys!

[@JMan1380]

I love James & Mike Mondays because I like watching you guys playing fun games out of character. You always have a bit of a history lesson and your stories are great. Mike playing Punch Out will always be one of my favorites.

[@SZakiabba]

Mike & James, you can play Contra 4 on a Emulator on a laptop/computer then hook up HDMI to your TV, and just record the screen by using a recording software (like CamTasia or Hyper Cam)

[@Barrybier]

You understand thats not what they wanha do, right?

[@dollenrm]

Yeah they don't do emulators except for extreme circumstances. It's not that difficult to record from a ds just needs a simple modification.

[@ponocni1]

***** i think the wont emu it, but its still option in my option

[@Patrick19833]

***** According to his nerd character, they do not play emulators. The only game he play on emulator is Hong Kong 97, but that's only because physical copy doesn't exists.

[@SZakiabba]

Patrick Boots CEC on No$GBA DS Emulator, you use your mouse as touchpad and click on the bottom screen

[@ScarletSho]

To record DS games, you may need a 3DS XL and a 3DS capture card. The 3DS (at least the XL model) is backwards compatible with the Nintendo DS library. Also, a 3DS Capture Card would mean you can finally show off 3DS games.

[@NorthSon]

All forms of 3DS including 2DS are backwards compatible with DS games.

[@ScarletSho]

Brodie Miller Good to know.

[@Cobzah]

They are but original DS' had it where you could play GBA games on them

[@ScarletSho]

Cobzah They're not asking to record GBA footage, they're asking for DS footage.

[@jbfarley]

Cobzah that's irrelevant for them, because there's a gba adapter for a nintendo console, i think 64. so they could record it easily

[@McGarnickle]

I like this show for exactly what Mike said. It's the first thing I turn on when I get to the office on Mondays. And since I live in Germany and we're 6 hours ahead, it's great that you upload it Sunday night your time. Thanks you guys!

[@knelson1180]

There was that gameshow in the mornings growing up that featured the host "Johnny Arcade" and the kid that won the show got to go through the obstacle course and grab all the video game stuff he/she could. Anyway, they used to teach kids how to record their gameplay to send in completed bosses, games, etc to win prizes on the show.

[@fount4in]

CAN WE GET SOME MOTHAFUCKIN KIRBY PLAYTHROUGHS

[@fount4in]

I am bic pentameter Also Conker's Bad Fur Day

[@thejamman4070]

+I am bic pentameter Fuck yes!

[@Axewhipe]

Conker would be perfect for James and Mike

[@mattdog1000000]

You guys should do Rare Replay, not sure if you have an Xbox One, but it sounds like a game that's right up your alleys (Battletoads Arcade is included!). Plus, it'll finally get you guys to try Banjo-Kazooie.

[@2DSM2]

***** He does. I remember seeing him having one when they were doing Super Scope 6.

[@typalmer6850]

I love how some of the James and Mike Mondays episodes end with James' stories... They are really interesting to hear...

[@as5who13]

When I was a kid (around 1995) I had my genesis hooked up to my TV through my VCR. I remember getting in trouble for recording Sonic and Tails, and Street fighter 2 over my parents wedding video.

[@Xonatron]

steven bullard wow!!

[@monkeyXmonkey]

OMG! I was the opposite of Mike LOL I asked my parents to return the gamegear, and get me the gameboy color XD

[@z-beeblebrox]

monkeyXmonkey I remember returning my gamegear twice, because I thought it was broken when the power would die super fast. Turns out, that's just how quickly it ate through that gigantic battery pack :P About a year later though, I got the Nomad along with a power cord. Best purchase I ever made - that thing outlived my Genesis by two decades.

[@KitsyX]

monkeyXmonkey It might have been before Gameboy color... I mean gameboy color was like 7 years after Gamegear, roughly.

[@monkeyXmonkey]

KitsyX They still sold it at the same time as the gameboy color though lol. I remember it pretty well.

[@gozinta82]

monkeyXmonkey I remember keeping my gameboy, because my parents were broke as fuck, and if I dared asked them for a Game Gear instead, they probably would've returned it as I would sound ungrateful for a thoughtful gift.

[@Tidus70222]

InsaneCR0W yeah, probably in a store like Gamestop, that sold old used games, im assuming

[@FyberOptic]

You couldn't afford to keep batteries in a Game Gear. And due to them using low-quality capacitors, tons of units suffer from blurry screens, dim screens, or screen failure altogether. It's such a problem that you can buy entire capacitor kits on Ebay to refurbish them now.

[@vasiliypupkin3239]

5:26 EXACTLY why I screenshots of all my walkthroughs. To never come back to them. I broke the limbo of 20-30 games that I was repeatedly playing for my whole childhood. Now I remember everything and just a peak into an archive is enough to remember everything about a particular game. About 650 game-walkthroughs I have for now. I keep records since 2012.

[@grizzlywhisker]

i got a game boy in 1989 or 1990 for my birthday and loved it, when is saw game gear i mowed lawns and saved up enough money to buy one and had both! i could never have returned my game boy for a game gear!

[@candiduscorvus]

You keep passing up the H (homing) powerup. That thing will win the entire game for you almost. All you have to do is keep shooting and stay out of the way of things and it kills everything for you.

[@SuperNintendoZach]

Hey James and Mike. October is coming, and I think it'd be a great idea to do a video for all 3 gameboy castlevania games. The games themselves range from bad, to good. It might make for a great segment!

[@KnivesOut86]

been a fan of you guys since the beginning. thanks for keeping up the monday gaming

[@madnero5508]

great play through dudes. Keep up the good work. we will all be watching.

[@VeggeMight]

the Gameboy was a portable NES you missed the fuck out Mike.

[@jestertycoon700]

Did avgn die after darkwing or?

[@KombatGod]

Jester Tycoon Why are you asking that on this comment? Either way there has been a new episode! And coincidentally he dies in that one!

[@ZombieJesus1987]

VeggeMight Eh, wasn't quite as powerful as the NES. Game Gear was literally a portable Master System, with the peripheral that allowed you to play Master System games on the game gear.

[@VeggeMight]

SorgensKammer1987 you obviously never played games like Pokemon,smb 6 golden coins,warioland 3,links awakening,Kirby's dream land 2.

[@ZombieJesus1987]

VeggeMight Played all of those games and loved all of them. Don't get me wrong, I love GameBoy just like any other guy, but put it next to a Sega Game Gear and tell me which one has more potential? I wish I had the Master Gear peripheral for the game gear growing up, so I can play games like Phantasy Star on my game gear lol

[@TotalMK]

Hi Mike, the only way to record DS for capture is through a Nitro Box. It's what Nintendo use to record gameplay and only they have them so getting them isn't easy. The only other option, is emulate the DS game and use an on screen capture. :)

[@Eddierayilerjr]

They could also get a 3ds modded with capture hardware to link to a computer and capture it that way (since 3ds is BC with ds games)

[@jeronimopereyra6222]

So this is where the catchphrase "Many more mondays, many more games" came to be!

[@mikefr24]

I saved money from mowing lawns to buy the original Gameboy for $89 at Toys-R-Us when I was 12 yrs old. Operation C was awesome. I could beat it in less than an hour just to listen to the awesome ending music.

[@katiebuffington9102]

h stands for "homing"

[@troy242621]

Love Mike.

[@ashwilliams5109]

***** No.

[@jasongaming5144]

damn once you start watching a episode of Monday you cannot stop watching it's so awesome

[@sheepraider1982]

Good motto for James and Mike Mondays by the way lol. You guys legitimately give me a reason to look forward to Monday's

[@SonicKick]

I think James and Mike should do more recent retro inspired and indie games. Like Double Dragon Neon, Freedom Planet, Shovel Knight, etc.

[@puns8994]

Don't leave out the GrandFather of Indie games, Cave Story ;) It is amazing.

[@tryaagain8830]

In Russia we all love you, Rolf! you're the best! Из России с приветом! Чуваки, есть кто-нибудь русский?

[@tryaagain8830]

Anonymous Thanks) You too. Don't belive your government's propagandal. (sorry for my english)

[@ArtFenixAsordis]

Try Aagain Yeah) James seems like a really nice and kind guy and his videos are fun to watch. I know for a fact that many Russians like myself love to watch AVGN. Some people even translated most of the episodes for those who don't speak/understand English.

[@ManFromTheFizz]

+Try Aagain awwwwwww ^_^

[@swiggityswooty8579]

+Anonymous You are SOOOOOO right about the propaganda. I don't like the fact that they're trying to take Russians and Americans apart from each other. The sad thing is that it actually worked.

[@ArtFenixAsordis]

Dimitri Uvarov A shame, truly.

[@pawned79]

I think this was my favorite Monday play through. The game and the conversation was really interesting. I can say that I always look forward to this Monday show.

[@SlightlyDank]

I love how you guys share ur thoughts and opinions on stuff! Thanks for sharing!

[@Jiffylubeguy]

Will you guys play streets of rage 2?

[@edricleung5337]

+Jiffylubeguy They played that game already.

[@rootykazooty351]

WTF? The soundtrack for Streets Of Rage III is *awesome.* I love the randomized element and the pumping techno-rock sound. Maybe some of you are playing it on an emulator?

[@MrXXpainkillerXX]

you guys should play the best Contra, Contra: Hard corps

[@Youtubeaccount369]

Ash Williams hard core*

[@AtlasBlizzard]

Ash Williams That game is brutal, even for Contra.

[@SuperSecretAgentNein]

Hard Corps was great. Did so many cool things with the franchise (multiple different characters to choose from, multiple endings) and I don't understand why it didn't have any sort of legacy. Game deserves a remake/rerelease/sequel.

[@PointReflex]

+AgentNein Well it got a direct prequel called "Hard Corps Uprising" (you play as Bahamut, the original antagonist in Contra Hard Corps) I belive for PS3. it was developed by Arc System Works (known for their work on Guilty Gear) but the game wasn't THAT great for me. I feel the gameplay is a bit more slow, like Contra Force... but the graphics and the animations are superb. As for Hard Corps itself, that game is my favorite in the entire Genesis jandra. The music and the gameplay, man.... the fastest Contra in history... or may I say.... Blast Processing at its finest :D

[@supermahmoud]

James and Mike Mondays make my Mondays great specially mornings when starting at work !

[@rossellett642]

Love when James pauses the game to speak some knowledge!!! So good!!!

[@midnightwrong]

you should play G.I. JOE for NES

[@ryu465]

could you do a James & Mike Mondays with Contra Shattered Soldier on the PS2

[@ChevyMustang]

Many more Mondays, many more games, with Mike and James.

[@matthewfitzpatrick8747]

I watch James and Mike Mondays all week at work! You guys rock!

[@TheTetsuHai]

Agreed Folgers has the best jingle however came up with it is a genius.

[@CaptainFarthouse]

Who would you pick in a fist fight, James or Mike?

[@michaelsciangula452]

I think James would fuck Mike up

[@Al0neStillAlive]

***** I simply can't see James getting in a fist fight to begin with. So I'd go with Mike. I mean the guy could just knock you unconscious with his massive schlong after all.

[@LittleJimmy835]

***** I reckon James has the weight advantage, but he's too gentle and friendly so he wouldn't put his all into the fight. Mike would be a scrapper.

[@nand3kudasai]

1:00 " and that's how i got my nickname" haha very good man, nice clarity for a 10 years old.

[@Mikeystonet]

Love this series. Very chill, very positive.

[@tomlion0116]

PLAY CONTRA HARDCORPS!!!

[@TheBatman2292]

I think I might get into this series, where should I begin?

[@alexalvarez3356]

TheBatman2292 Super Mario 4 Rambo

[@TheBatman2292]

***** Oh sorry, I was talking about Contra :P I have been watching Cinemassacre for years, thanks though :S

[@spoonsharkart4550]

What if Zelda was batman

[@gozinta82]

TheBatman2292 Contra for the NES, best memories of Contra. Both really good.

[@superfan4]

Just play metal slug lol

[@alexcarr2426]

I've always loved this game. I take out my Gameboy quite often to play this one.

[@Stoutarm]

Metroid Fusion is my favorite GBA game. Thank you Mike!

[@samuraistonysensei]

Link's Awakening is still my favorite Zelda game of all time.

[@Knelson123]

Would totally recommend checkout out Links Awakening!

[@CaptainObvious0000]

Raddorex someone who owns a gameboy and never played that game is like an adult who lives in europe and has never tasted a pizza in his life.

[@Brax1982]

+CaptainObvious0000 Because it's hard for Americans to get some pizza?

[@CaptainObvious0000]

Brax1982 cute, you think there are no people on this planet besides americans and europeans?

[@Brax1982]

CaptainObvious0000 Not any more than you do when you mentioned only Europeans.

[@CaptainObvious0000]

Brax1982 so what did your stupid comment about americans refer to then? obviously i took europeans as an example of a group of people who are mostly familiar with pizza unlike a lot of poorer people in the third world. why should i list all possible examples when i need only one to get the point across?

[@EruIluvatar]

James and Mike mondays are the best let's plays on the net.

[@habibjafar9048]

all I had growing up was a Gameboy till I started working and bought a snes operation C was one of those childhood gems four levels of Run N Gun fun on the go

[@SirLithen]

In my opinion, Fusion is the best 2D Metroid game.

[@M1YAK2]

Fusion is also one of the most creepiest. I seriously thought the game could go all Alien on me, and SA-X will pop out of nowhere and try to kill me. It does a couple of times, but the dialogue really gets me paranoid. "Then once you're done, get out of the area immediately."(May not be exactly what the computer says). Gee, thanks. Why don't you also tell me about possible ventilation shafts that the SA-X could go through, to jump right in front of me at anytime? It happens in every single playthrough I do.

[@ninjanizzle]

Felix Hindemo yea personally fusion and zero mission r my fave metroid games.

[@SirLithen]

M1YAK1 I Know right, it was terrifying as a kid!

[@josiahvock5675]

fusion is the only metroid game i've actually finished and i own all of them except zero mission, i beat it on my gameboy micro

[@keimakoh]

Felix Hindemo Fusion is the second worst because it absolutely kills the exploration aspect of the Metroid titles and replaces it with absurdly long compulsory cutscenes. It's a fun game to play, but a bad example of the Metroid concept. A less infuriating Other M.

[@AiurIkiza]

To record DS you need a capture card, which is sadly expensive :(

[@ArtFenixAsordis]

Aiur Ikiza OR use emulator? Seriously, what's the deal with not using emulators? I mean, if you own a copy of the game, it's completely legal, no?

[@ArtFenixAsordis]

Jaylan Russell There are quite a few options, yeah).

[@TheSonnyworld]

***** Emulators you have to use a mouse and keyboard.

[@ArtFenixAsordis]

No, they have controller support.

[@TheSonnyworld]

***** What about touchpad support?

Always wanted to play this game back in the day, and never got the chance. Definitely on my list to collect now.

[@coeurdelion3113]

Hey thanks for this video - I am going to be looking into starting a Game Boy collection, because of it! James and Mike rule!

The Castlevania Adventure is the single worst Castlevania game ever. And not because it's on GameBoy, there are good CV games on GameBoy.

[@LaVeyCharkusVeros]

Anonymous_X I'd say Castlevania Legends is WAY worse. Castlevania: The Adventure would have been a great game if not for how jumping was implemented, which barely moved you forward, and when reaching top height, you were plummeted to the ground.

[@Ductos]

Anonymous_X What makes Castlevania: The Adventure especially bad in comparison: The sequel Adventures 2 is way better and there's also an awesome and unfortuneately WiiWare-exclusive remake. But yeah, Legends is pretty terrible too.

[@Ponaru]

***** Oh please. Time to pick up a GBA and a DS.

[@gozinta82]

Anonymous_X Don't forget about Castlevania for the Tiger handheld. P.S. There are multiple Castlevania games for the Tiger handheld. Adventure looks like Rondo of blood compared to these horrific games.

[@channelfadge7438]

I loved castlevania adventure, but I never had a nes/snes as a kid, just a gameboy and its all I knew. I could never get past the level where the spikes chase you up and across the screen though

[@Raziberry]

I feel like "Mike & James Mondays" rolls off the tongue better than "James & Mike Mondays".

[@HyperFuze]

James and Mike sound better because Mike and Monday both start with M so having Monday right after is better

[@j.r.goralczyk4182]

David Razi I feel the complete opposite. o.O

[@Raziberry]

Hyper Fuze That is exactly why I DON'T like it. The M sound is more relaxed to start a word, and the double Ms and the end just muddle the word, like mumbling. And while the alliteration of the Ms may sound nice, the assonance of the As is better.

[@egoleo6693]

Why is this a battle? This is like if I said James Rolfe should be James Wolfe because it sounds cooler -_-

[@Raziberry]

Michael Cheslav A battle? What the hell are you talking about? And no, that's not like changing someone's surname. That is possibly the worst simile I've ever read. Darkane1990 Overused dismissive meme. 1/10, got me to reply.

[@josevcp1]

Good to know that Contra 3 is in your mind James! I'm waiting for that episode and the Gunstar Heroes one for a long long time!

[@GodsKing69]

I still have this game and never have i beaten it. Loved the game as a kid though and still do.

[@TonySpike]

That one lego game on gbc springs to mind ......but for original game boy your hard pressed I suppose wwf superstars 2 would count as being a pretty sucky game, ......but its wrestling on gameboy what the fuck would i be expecting

[@jeanshortswag]

I actually recall enjoying that lego game as a kid because I could actually beat it. It was called lego island 2 or something like that. They made a pc version for the same game later on that was in 3d, I played it when I was a bit older. The story and the characters were identical to the game boy so I remember enjoying that version just as much. I never had the time to beat it though.

[@TonySpike]

jeanshortswag i wasnt talking about lego island .....this was a game linked to some action hero toyline ....it sucked balls

[@alexmauney9705]

Tony Spike Bionicle?

[@TonySpike]

Alex Mauney nah we only bionicle game we had was on GBA ....this was gbc ....something like max steele or something ....but it was based on a lego toyline

[@Axewhipe]

Lego island was ok. I remember it being either glitchy or my comp lagged so much.

[@drrad3782]

Mystical Ninja: Goemon That game is awful!

[@drrad3782]

Dr Rad Also please play Super Mario Land 2

[@drrad3782]

InsaneCR0W The one on gameboy not the n64 one.

[@drrad3782]

Yeah the Snes one is pretty good

[@JazGalaxy]

Dr Rad Legend Of The Mystical Ninja is fantastic. Especially two players.

[@MusouTensei82]

Dr Rad Oh yeah that game is garbage, and I say that as a huge Goemon fan.

[@new_age_entertainment]

Love this game! Never passed it, too hard but fun and part of my childhood. Lost the game and bought it a few years back. Classic imo.

[@seanpritchard9865]

You guys always pick the most entertaining games. Made me go and grab Operation C and play it! Hard Corps Uprising on PS3 would also be worth your time.

[@MetalAriel]

Played this game a lot when I was a kid, good vibes!

[@Dakkon0379]

There’s no telling how many AVGN’s or James & Mike Monday’s that have influenced me to go right out and get the games displayed in those episodes. Cussing out some Operation C for about a week now. Lol

[@TotallyRadical]

I remember my friends and I learned during the NES era to hook up your Console through the VCR so you could easily record gameplay footage.

[@iker900]

thank you so much for become my mondays better guys
