[@metfan4l]

James sharing his encyclopedic Godzilla knowledge never gets old.

[@vaultgamer6875]

What are you doing here?! lol

[@Geek_Chorus]

Except the "guardian of Hu" is called Megalon not Moguera.

[@Akherousia502]

@@Geek_Chorus Yeah, legit, I just find myself getting annoyed and infuriated listening to him talk about Godzilla more than anything. The two of them make such a bad combo especially because his mate is so utterly clueless and seems to talk just to hear himself speak, which doesn't go very nicely with it. I'm legitimately just watching this for the gameplay.

[@Freebleepers]

Yeah but I can put up a challenge to me if he accepts...

[@billysharpe3353]

Neither does James.

[@Seankwondo87]

It's pretty cool that Godzilla's design changes in each stage to reflect the suit used in that specific movie.

[@DanTKD87]

Oh ya. Looking again it does. NICE

[@buuuba7022]

I love the fact how Mike instantly knows which episode of AVGN James is talking about the second he mentions the Godzilla episode. Mike is probably the biggest AVGN fan!

[@theycallmejojo6090]

I can listen to James talk about giant monster movies for hours.

[@Real_McKinley]

I can listen to Mike talk about his trouser monster for days

[@thekajiufan1712]

I agree

[@Horrorgins]

Love how the Godzilla sprite here changes to the appropriate suit depending on the monster he's fighting. And not just Showa-Heisei either, but all of the various Showa variations.

[@heretopissyouoff8439]

Horrorgins oh yeah I didn't even notice that

[@TkyoSam]

Always good to see how much you guys still love the Kaiju movies and themes. It's like you guys still stay true to your guys stuff even after all this time. Love coming back weekly and seeing what stuff you guys have to share with us. Hope you both can make a trip to Tokyo at some point. Keep making this awesome stuff James and MIke!

[@nicholsjoshua15]

James and Mike are real men!

[@Jackass94]

One of the most reliably consistent series that KZbin has to offer. Thanks for the unwavering commitment to your upload schedule guys.

[@peazeralus]

Marubolas Fully agreed. This and Night Mind are, above and beyond, my absolute favorite channels on YT. Thank God at least one of them is consistent with their uploads.

[@lotusreborn8394]

Marubolas I don't get why this is so shocking...two grown adults play children's games, record themselves doing it. No real editing just play a game and be recorded. Then they record multiple episodes in one day and periodically release them...your comment is a joke.

[@peazeralus]

Lotus Reborn Her comment was praising quality, as well... and never said anything about being shocked. Maybe you're trying too hard?

[@Jackass94]

Oh shoosh lotus lemme spread my positivity in peace, your comment serves no purpose other than try and devalue mine. Nothing wrong with showing appreciation for my favorite series..

[@Jackass94]

Yeah dude I've been watching these guys since 06, just the fact they're still around today in 2018 makes me thankful as fuck ya know?

[@phobos2k2]

Every time James says "Super 'intendo" a puppy drowns.

[@JD_13]

23:30 How is nobody talking about this epic comeback from James while casually talking about Godzilla. What a fight!

[@pluvius9265]

At the end of the game the final boss you get is dependent on how many points you got. So you got the crappiest boss because you only got around 300000 points. I'm guessing not understanding the quiz sections has a lot to do with that. Definitely a lot of replay value here.

[@epic9256]

Unlocking Super MechaGodzilla II was the hardest thing in any video game I’ve ever played not having the Trivia bonus points like the Japanese version made it near impossible it was so frustrating luckily there is a cheat for people who don’t wanna go through hell to get him unlocked

[@sarahrotar8854]

I love how James didn't even realize that he'd beaten the game!

[@yerrypablo]

I LOVE how James gets to master the game through the video.

[@BlackMasterRoshi]

the Ghidorah fight was awesome

[@kuntdestroyer5093]

I was so pumped for the Shin Godzilla movie I remember then I totally forgot until now. Thanks James you made me pause your video and go watch Shin.

[@veganchoicesareaneasywayto3584]

Hope you enjoyed it! I recently watched every Godzilla from '54 to Shin, Shin was in my top 3 favourites alongside Godzilla vs King Ghidorah and Mothra vs Godzilla.

[@betanzo9989]

I love how you get every verson of godzilla when you fight anguris you get the 55 design

[@HistoryUnwound]

Moguera? That was clearly Megalon

[@Deep_wolf]

JET JAGGA JET JAGGA YATTA JAGGA AA

[@JamesNintendoNerd]

Yeah I meant to say Megalon -Mike

[@Gmrabin]

Been watching you guys for years, still just as entertaining!

[@LordProteus]

"The Flying Battleship."

[@Deep_wolf]

ITS BIG AS A BATTLESHIP!

[@user-he2xv9ee5s]

Deep_wolf irk surprised they didn’t say that reference lol

[@Aalienik]

How could they miss that?! I was hoping for a fight against the Giant Claw

[@Deep_wolf]

It's was very breif, and they just missed that.

[@theredeft5319]

I'm surprised they didn't mention the giant claw

[@MartialKaiju98]

I need sleep, but I see Cinemassacre and Godzilla and automatically watch!

[@martyc909]

This game was on TG16 CD!! Damn, I wish I knew this 25 years ago! I would have bugged my dad for it, he was down to buy the CD, but I didn't know what games to buy in it!

[@andrewjackson161]

Sweet! Still psyched you guys are still making all the videos (Nerd,James and mike,Monster Madness, Mike and Ryan and all the playthroughs!) I love the story driven stuff like board james too.This calls for the jet jaguar celebration music at the end of godzilla vs megalon!

[@pengwin_]

holy moly, been waiting forever for you guys to play this!

[@ScottWozniak]

Most of the monsters are locked in VS mode until you've beaten NORMAL mode.

[@yobitobi9393]

I didn’t skip the ad because I love y’all

[@sleepyjarvis6062]

Love the James & Mike Mondays...the stories you guys tell while playing the games are the best, and I find myself rooting for James or Mike to beat the level. Never thought I would like to watch someone play a game, but watching you all is very entertaining. Excellence sheer unadulterated Excellence !!! Brilliant , Im absolutely addicted to everything you all do , have to say I am missing the Angry Video Game Nerd, need more soon. Adding the AVGN to any day makes it all worth seeing.

[@ErikE7683]

It's always great to hear you guys talk about Godzilla awesome vid

[@flameblade5127]

I just realized that Godzilla's design changes based off of the monster your fighting to match the movie.

[@TheTogoRojo]

Loved that review James. Great stuff.

[@Morgil27]

About a year ago, I obtained DVD/blurays of all the Godzilla movies and marathoned through them all. An amazing series and I can definitely see why James loves it so much.

[@ben_retzer]

I like how Godzilla looks different depending on the monster and when he fought them

[@aperson22222]

I'm glad James is finally starting to learn to read Japanese after all these years. I've always thought it was a no-brainer given so many of his passions.

[@liquidwarrior03]

it blows my mind how you guys havent played WAR OF THE MONSTERS YET!! its the ultimate monster/giant robot classic monster movie fighting game

[@Wolfie1262]

War of the Monsters is so much fun. Knock off Kaiju are still fun

[@Valtharr]

I don't get why people are _that_ excited about that clunky mess of a game. The kaiju aren't even that big.

[@justfly538]

Using "block" will cut the difficulty in half...

[@MrCheesyBaconBits]

Thank you for the upload, very much appreciated.

[@diegog1853]

its cool how the godzilla sprite changes to fit the movie, he is more cartoony in some films

[@georgezuniga6298]

I also feel the pain of not playing such awesome Godzilla games in the 90s.

[@AmoralPhat40oz]

“Yeaaaaaah” - James “Yeaaaaaah” - Mike

[@Giran_0]

Finally a Godzilla game wish you would do more

[@samholdsworth3957]

Time to geek out! Thanks James and Mike!

[@nigeldreiner]

You know what's REALLY awesome about this game? Godzilla's appearance changes depending on the monster you fight to match how he looked in that particular movie! That is a major detail that probably went overlooked by many.

[@segaswirl3007]

Love these Godzilla videos!

[@robm5399]

Kaiju Kaiju Kaiju love it so much fun and so much nostalgia you guys are awesome thank you for all you do.

[@blooman80]

love James and Mike Mondays

[@TheTyisawesome]

Mike is so good with always remembering the nerd episode numbers

[@aperson22222]

Damn, Godzilla's atomic breath might as well be a lightsaber from Masturbators of Teras Kasi.

[@claudiexx6274]

Many more Mondays... many more James...

[@skinc4rver]

Great video guys. Like always, you make monday tolerable!

[@smoothALOE]

This looks pretty badass: great graphics and animation, nice music and sound fx. The sprites look a bit small, but that’s a minor complaint. I would’ve loved this game if I had played it in 1993.

[@ice_fox]

Ducky from pretty in pink has aged well

[@goombajenkins4317]

Haa

[@kchuntinghawk5514]

This game is so fuckin awesome

[@bigcheeseman6570]

Mike just casually asking you Godzilla trivia while you're playing this freaking hard game and you're handling it perfect

[@ILLFEABEE]

Awesome video guys!!

[@NJVernon88]

I love Godzilla. I like when you guys talk about it.

[@scubasteve31583]

James make a video teaching basic Japanese reading skills! That is so awesome that you have progressed so much!

[@JohnnieFavourite]

Man, that stage select music is awesome.

[@FourKaiju]

I remember watching those Godzillathon videos back in 2008. Man I miss those days.

[@Giran_0]

Someone should make a Godzilla fighting game with all the canon characters with these looking sprites

[@bebosoho]

i love how every single memory these guys have is game related

[@GPowtlaw2]

Did james just clutch the fuck outta that mecha godzilla fight though!

[@kumatoni5245]

How'd Mike not know about the NC / Nerd crossover?

[@craigmack1710]

nibba goin thru alot rn

[@breseman]

redroversk I mean, the video has over a million views, so you're quite obviously just wrong.

[@GreatBigRanz]

There was an RTS game that suppose to come out on the SNES, this before Command and Conquer but after Dune 2, and the only thing I remember about it was that it was suppose to be a desert planet and the phrase "algae eaters"

[@Solid_Fool]

Just noticed the attention to detail which is awesome. Like when he's fighting the smog monster you can see in the background the military shining lights to get Hedorah's attention into their trap.

[@Esatzu]

James showed some skills in that mega godzilla fight.

[@chedarmentosbrown5922]

In the late 1970's we lived in Alasaka. Every Sunday all the kids would get dropped off at a single screen theater. It showed Godzilla and Kungfu movies all day. Starting at 9am going to 4 or 5 pm. It was so fun. The kids took over the movies.

[@anegwa]

James practicing katakana is awesome!

[@demacolapoo777]

15:33 they predicted the ending of Godzilla king of the monsters

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

Person watching me play a fighting game: "Do this move! Do that move!" Me: "Shut the fuck up!"

[@Gojira5400]

YESSS!!! Your Godzilla videos are the best!

[@freakyhippiemusic4556]

I love the choice in games you guys choose to review! a lot of them are games I only played as a kid and no one else I know even has a clue about what Im talking about when I try to describe them. Like I was pretty sure I made up this game and developed false memories around it until now seeing this xD

[@gunriderpt2]

james looking buff in that gray top

[@iwev1852]

Mecha-mickey, something I never knew I needed, but definitely do.

[@DarkHalmut]

Such a better series than Talk about Games.

[@pineconerudy1519]

Yeah honestly

[@johnvrecenar9076]

When they moved the cursor over Rodan and the description read "The Flying Battleship", I busted out laughing.

[@megic92]

it's so sad to imagine if this game came out in the right time, then little james would spend countless time to play this game with full face of happiness and joy... but he was born too fxcking early...

[@MrMoorkey]

The Godzilla Planet anime is absolute balls. Avoid.

[@mwizachihana9551]

Agreed. Its absolutely horrible.

[@eepyJay]

It'll be cool if there's ever a Shin Godzilla game I'd wanna see James play! Maybe with John, I wonder if he's into movies 🤔

[@ClemensGoesBanana]

You're pretty talented and should upload more videos, guys. I'm sure people would like it

[@Riotz96]

Do more of these videos with Godzilla!!

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

Mike always looks like he just woke up.

[@goldman77700]

I love Godzilla content. Thanks.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

This feels so nostalgic.

[@maxcarroll9487]

Godzilla's heights throughout the franchise always vary. In the Showa series ('54-'75.), both the original and second Godzillas were 50 meters (164 feet.). In the Heisei series ('84-'95.), Godzilla's heights (discounting the original's height in '54.), were 80 meters (262 feet, '84-'89.) and 100 meters (328 feet, '91-'95.). In the Millennium series ('99-'04.), it was inconsistent because of all the new continuities. So here's a little rundown of each; '99: 55 meters (180 feet.) '00: 55 meters (180 feet.) '01: 60 meters (196 feet.) '02-'03: 55 meters (180 feet.) '04: 100 meters (328 feet.) (And before you ask, yes, in spite of the reuse of the suit, the '99 and '00 Godzillas were completely separate individuals of different continuities.) And there ya go, James. And one more thing; GODZILLA VS. KING GHIDORAH DIDN'T CHANGE THE TIMELINE.

[@Hurricanelive]

In '92 in the military they had a mountain of Turboduos at the PX and they always had dozens of new import and english titles as released. They also were big in mega drive sales and just every import game you'd want. The strange thing is the PXs I would shop at never had much in the way of Nintendo or SNES, they did later carry all of the Neo Geo, Jaguar, the Lynx, The Saturn, the Dreamcast, just not much Nintendo. So through the 90's I just didn't play SNES much. I had a friend who did have TONS of import Super Famicon and instead of removing the top loader fins in the console he'd always shave slots into the cartridges.

[@totengott6599]

I have vague memories of playing a SNES Godzilla(?) game as a kid.....or maybe it was just a giant monster fighting game, idk.

[@foxhero1337]

Love the PC Engine/TG16/TurboDuo attention!

[@MoteofLobross]

My favorite Godzilla movie is Godzilla VS Megalon. Mostly because it was the one that most commonly aired on UHF when I was a kid and I had to watch it every time.

[@mundane_in_the_membrane]

They say he's got to go GO GO GODZILLA

[@smashblaster1-up190]

What a coincidence, I was looking at this game yesterday

[@SweetJesus1988]

Did anyone else notice that the Godzilla character changed depending on who he was fighting so it matched with how he looked in the films? I felt that was the nicest touch!

[@nomansson8218]

great game like a Primal Rage .. btw Primal Rage released on all systems

[@ZandDmovies]

There memories betray them! Megalon was mistaken for moguera twice.

[@gambitwilson8623]

Lol!!! James got his ass kicked by that little alien from "Batteries Not Included" at the end! 😂😂😂

[@DragonX64567]

I have some of the Godzilla movies somewhere on VHS I should watch them.

[@JoCox4048]

For a future James & Mike Mondays, I'd like to see you play some of the Lightspan games for the Playstation. The AVGN episode on the Lightspan games was really good.

[@ProfessorHurt]

You guys should come to G-Fest in the midwest in July. For three days they'll show kaiju films on a big screen. Nothing better than seeing tokusatsu or kaiju films on a big screen.

[@jaynukem1929]

I actually remember enjoying that NES Godzilla game when I was a kid.

[@nailujh]

James is practicing Japenese thats sooooo awesome !

[@StrangerX9]

James never ceases to impress me. The guy could of been such a huge Hollywood movie maker if he ever moved out to LA!

[@KidMeatball]

You guys should bring back Board James and review "King of New York" board game. Its a fun giant monster game. Played it with the fam this weekend and had a blast!

[@GLJosh]

I owned the Turbo Duo version of this game, AWESOME GAME. Took a while to unlock everyone.

[@secondghost]

Look at all those 256 colors in all its glory!
