Kung Fu 2 (Unreleased NES) Mike & Bootsy

[@DrPluton]

Mike: "I doubt it's the end." Game: "(IT'S THE END.)"

[@Night-Jester]

Just saying he said, "This has gotta be the end." :)

[@milosmisic89]

OMG this is one of my favorite games on the NES!!! So glad to see a spotlight on the internet about it...

[@mattlandry]

Man this seems like a great little gem here!

[@lilg8017]

Nah, it's a video game.

[@mattlandry]

Ah fuck you're right too.

[@shawdawg3675]

Jonny seems cool, but not a bad enough dude to save the president. Reminded me a lot of Bad Dudes as well.

[@4realRecon]

Bad fucking bull fucking dude

[@hridoygovindadas914]

+CharCharTV I was also thinking the same thing

[@qazwsxdefrful]

yeah

[@streetmagik3105]

Are you bad enough to save president Ronnie?

[@gregotaku]

I've hated Bad Dudes since I beat it as a kid. You do all that work fighting ninjas and whatnot, and all Reagan offers you is A CHEESEBURGER??!!! GGGGRRRRRRR!!!

[@sleazecrew8333]

spartan x 2 love this game still play it from time to time brings back memories of the rising sun.

[@IvanBlues]

As a child, I used to go to the arcades every day to play the original Kung Fu.

[@lilg8017]

As an adult, you tell ppl you used to go to the arcades every day to play the original Kung Fu as a child.

[@xMasterSparku]

As an old person he will tell people about his memories posting on KZbin, such as the time he mentioned that he played Kung Fu in arcades as a child.

[@14TylerA]

In Hell, he will tell all of the souls of the damned about that time he told his bedside lamp, in the nursing home, about that time he posted a comment on youtube about how he used to go to the arcades every day as a child to play Kung Fu.

[@badnewsbruner]

As a child, I once stuck an action figures leg up my butt.

[@doct1400]

I gotta admit, those snorkle ninjas are creative as fuck.

[@NickEnlowe]

Ninjas hiding in water with bamboo snorkles is as cliche as it gets.

[@doct1400]

cirellio Considering how cliche it is I honestly can't name a video game, certainly not an NES title with it. If this was a cartoon sure.

[@metae.4256]

Tenchu 2. YOU are the ninja hiding in the water with the bamboo snorkle in that one.

[@doct1400]

Meta E. Fair enough. I never got into that series but I have a close friend who swears by them. And I'm sure if I went looking long enough I could find an NES game that does it. I just thought it was very well done in the game and clever. It's like the old "My jail cell is empty cus I'm clinging to the roof trick.' I've seen it in tons of movies but I can't name a game with it. Doesn't mean it hasn't happened, means I don't remember it.

[@metae.4256]

Sean Renaud I'm not sure if Tenchu 2 is so good. I liked other ones I've played more. As for an NES game, I draw a blank too.

[@KalloSkull]

The music in this game sounds pretty awesome. A really underrated video game soundtrack.

[@demomanchaos]

7:24- He hoofed her in the front-butt to beat her :P

[@Robotnikthecat2]

Good catch! :3

[@Lustrum0005]

Kill Cuntfirmed!

[@Lustrum0005]

I'm surprise Mike didn't see it

[@sinclairfourthousand]

I thought *THE EXACT SAME THING*

[@Morgan423Z]

I love the people on the train. Just reading their papers, completely oblivious to the major kung fu battle taking place 5 feet away.

[@edwhiting1803]

Nice vid gentlemen. Game looks really good. I appreciate it when you showcase titles like this. It educates us about games we have probably never played or even seen. Hats off!

[@Williamkurk]

"IT'S THE END"!!! Lol.

[@Treychik]

the OST to the game is great!

[@JohnSTF72]

The more Mike grows up, the more he looks like Max Payne.

[@samue1991]

Man I was waiting for someone to say Harambe lol

[@phantom_troubadour]

Harry Nilsson, Jeff Lynn, Todd Rundgren, and Elliott Smith are like different kinds of Beatles.

[@bigcyc]

"GYPSY AIR CIRCUS" written on plane XD

[@soldi1135]

This game has pretty good music! Thx for the ep, guys)

[@Ryo]

one of the few NES games that I emulated back in the day and loved it

[@chzzyg2698]

This looks like a game I would have liked as a kid. Japan kept all the good ones for nes.

[@DocShok]

3:15 ninjas on segways! This game called the future correctly lol

[@davidwhitney2524]

Wow this actually looks awesome, like Bad Dudes mixed with Ninja Gaiden

[@2nmingo]

harambe is so mighty he even made into this game

[@Fujii64]

+Octavio89 Harambe

[@CapnHolic]

Harambe killed for your sins.

[@jeffreyrichey6039]

Thank you for making these videos

[@RetrowaveCinema]

I actually had this game when I was a kid. I used to play it a lot with my father. In my head I always thought that the guy in red was Bruce Lee.

[@NormalJinx]

How badass are you, that your kick causes walls to fly all over the screen.

[@seanmyster6]

As soon as I saw the "grabber guys", I knew that this was truly a sequel to Kung Fu.

[@isetmfriendsofire]

Those graphics when you're on top of the train are way cool.

[@mogwaigremlin7188]

His name is "Johnny Thomas" and you never make a joke? His name is John Thomas. Surely I'm not alone here???

[@ikyogre1]

I dont see the joke in John Thomas

[@adamadkins3211]

penile

[@LTDANMAN44]

damnit I would love to have played this 25 years ago

[@agent_of_cthulhu]

I think that's the fastest game timer I've ever seen.

[@MxMoondoggie]

This looks like a really good game. Great music too. Maybe a bit easy but it's one of those kinds of games I'd rent as a kid and play all weekend because it's just really fun.

[@Fuchernaut]

I accidentally spat out my drink when I heard Harambe

[@yurockhd]

Start and Up is a cheat fot health.

[@Andydrengen]

Awesome t-shirt! Harry Nilsson meets Pet Sounds colors and font - love it!!!

[@bneyens]

0:29 - pull out your John Thomas!

[@maciek8860]

Wow, I played this game a lot as a kid, it brings back memories. Never beaten the last stage tho

[@pnkflyd66]

Sweep the leg Johnny.. Thomas

[@LucasCAPS]

6:01 Harambe! Nooooooo!

[@jayrob3045]

This looks pretty cool.Would be awesome if it had 2 player coop mode.

[@Gothdir]

Currently Im playing The Lost Vikings on Snes and this is a game you two should play as it is not only a classic that kinda is unrecognized (you rarely hear people talking about it) but is also a fantastic coop game. Im sure James would definitely enjoy this game as well. For me one of the most outstanding games of all time.

[@Gothdir]

redroversk No as I said currently playing the game and its just a great game that happened to be from blizzard...

[@Danblukk]

I always classed Vigilante as Kung Fu 2

[@lilg8017]

What about Vigilante 8?

[@phoenixlich]

lol i played vigilante on turbo grafx

[@phoenixlich]

that would have made it a second offense

[@migangelmart]

Vigilante, the game where you rescue Madonna from skinheads.

[@argonxenon6839]

There is a special move at this game. If you stay duck for 2 or 3 seconds and after that you push the punch button (while you are holding down) you will deliver a more stronger hit.

[@larrywolf2509]

When I was a kid/teenager and started earning my own money, for some reason the NES caught my attention and filled me with joy. Every dime I earned I sunk into my collection and today I own a little over 700 NES carts and every peripheral I could track down at flea markets, yard sales, swap meets and even a few video store closings/surplus sales. One thing that always caused me interest was the business side of cart-making. How much did a game cost to code? How much did a cart cost to produce? Etc. That sort of number-crunching was never in Nintendo Power.

[@MadroxMonoxide777]

It ran Nintendo $5 or less to make the carts with the board in them. The trick was that they charged the developers out the ass for that service, so they would make a killing. I remember reading that some companies had to pay like $35 a cart for Nintendo to produce them. So if they sold it for 50, Nintendo would make 30 (35-5) right up top, then a percentage of the remaining $15 left over. So essentially, you gave Nintendo a buttload of money, lol.

[@larrywolf2509]

MadroxMonoxide777 Shit dude, I was a poor kid. Game carts at flea markets and yard sales went for five bucks or less. You think anyone is going to buy 90% of these carts for more than that each? Nope.

[@Feelin_DanDy]

The bosses are a joke, can easily take out their entire bar at "near death" health.

[@hijiSuru]

Lol Mike puts his name over the footage at 6:30 as he's kicking ass. Smug, Mike, real smug. :D :D :D We can see you are the one playing in the next camera shot. lol

[@Maagmorvil]

The music is awesome!!!

[@pryt86]

Awesome episode like always

[@575burntoast]

Harambe? Time to get the ten incher out Mike that's ultimate respect.

[@Koettnylle]

1:56 The quiet infinite sadness

[@noizyme]

Reminds me of Bad Dudes but less variety in attacks and no "I'm Bad!" exclamation after every level.

[@AustinofEarth]

It seemed like everyone I knew with an NES had Kung Fu, I don't know why it was so prevalent, but based on that I don't know why they wouldn't have brought the sequel over here.

[@spartonberry]

While the second is a fun game, it's easier compared to the original, I think. They probably would've raised the difficulty if they brought it to America.

[@Coff1nf33der]

It's usually the other way around. Games that are too hard don't come out in the west or they make them easier.

[@spiff2268]

Super Mario 2, anyone?

[@weirdsearchhistory5876]

I think releasing the version of SMB2 that was released in the USA was a good idea. The Japanese version may have flopped because it was too much like SMB1. SMB2 was a unique game *in the SMB series* and gave Western players new enemies, bosses, playable characters and gaming style . Even though the reason for choosing to release that version in the West was dubious, it still turned out to be a good move by Nintendo.

[@Coff1nf33der]

Poppa Poppy It's not about what I think. It is what the gaming industry especially back then thought. Do you have any idea how many RPGs never made their way into the west, because it was thought, western gamers are not interested in more complex games. As was stated above me, they even repackaged a totally different game as Super Mario 2, because they thought, that the real Super Mario 2 was way too hard to release in the West.

[@BGBRaptornator]

damn that time just melts away.

[@r2rangel]

The music in the stage, before the whip boss sounds a lot like the music from SMS sonic - bridge stage.

[@SPAMWARS1]

Ian and Mike be KUNG FU fightin' B^D

[@Burley_Bert]

Damn this game would have been sick to own back in the day. looks pretty fun!

[@Seiko180]

looks so easy compared to the original

[@spartonberry]

This game has two difficulty settings, I think they played on the easier "Normal" mode. Hard was hard for me, but I suck at Kung Fu, so that may not be saying much.

[@marshalmathers5669]

The bosses in this one look way easier than in the original

[@Interference22]

Joysticks out for Harambe.

[@TheDuke013]

Surprised it did not come out here, looks pretty good.

[@Video-Games-Are-Fun]

the lovechild of P.O.W., renegade (kunio kun), and golgo 13 (some sound effects and cutscenes)

[@ShantiGilbert]

There is a new move, if you hold down for a few secs you can throw a charged uppercut. pretty useful and powerful.

[@PatrickRes]

That looks EXTREMELY like Bad Dudes.

[@swtb7313]

Appreciate the nod to Tod Browning's Freaks.

[@Mace2.0]

Kung Fu 2: Electric Boogaloo.

[@SeboHyatt]

that train scene reminds me of lethal weapon.

[@kylewest1016]

This is one of the included games on the Retrobit Super Retrocade.

[@mikerowsdower9896]

Kinda reminds me of Trojan with the mini-bosses.

[@СильвестрСтароверов]

Pretty fun game. I play it when I was a kid

[@Indigodelta383]

i remember seing it in a magazine when i was young

[@rundowndruid]

man does mike looked baked or what lol

[@bobjones1783]

No, not really actually

[@ChrisDoesTV]

I knew Harambe was coming

[@ChrisDoesTV]

***** Sorry are you triggered?

[@butterbwoi1344]

They really need to play Rollergames and Captain Skyhawk,both are pretty good as well as challenging.

[@danielflorio4739]

It takes great skill to be able to complete a lot of NES games. This didn't seem bad but I definitely would suck at it.

[@theretroshack7864]

Some people thought (before this game was referenced on the internet) that Vigilante on arcade and TurboGrafx 16 was the unofficial sequel to Kung Fu.

[@therealdeadpen]

You know as a kid I never noticed that you went right to left on a few of the stages in Kung Fu while almost every side scroll game goes left to right only.

[@standardofexcellence]

lime in the coconut everybody's talking at me, i cant live 1 is the loneliest number

[@cody8804]

You can climb a mountain, you can swim the seeeeea

[@brainache555]

Pretty advanced and fast for a NES game. Seems good :)

[@joeleustice]

Proof time travel exists at 7:43 David Tennant, the Doctor.

[@agentj007gaming9]

Mike: Abuses the Street Fighter II style "low sweep" on the final boss, gets hit once and yells "cheap!". LMAO

[@jayc3472]

I have this game on a multi cart and it was called bruce lee 2. All the text was in Japanese so I had no idea what was going on in the story.

[@Dropzone-jw6mo]

If kung fu and double dragon had a baby.

[@stanleyteriaca2184]

Spartan X is the Japanese name for the Jackie Chan film Meals on Wheels. This, Kung Fu is a movie game.

[@InuYugiHakusho]

I remember this game was once previewed in Nintendo Power.

[@jeramepardue3622]

I would love to see you guys do a Galoob Game Genie episode. It saved my childhood gaming and it was the best thing to come from Canada. Does anyone else agree?

[@nicholasmiller4756]

you gained an extra life at 40000 points

[@davidmarkovic463]

EARPY SQUAD ASSEMBLEEEEEE
