Mega Man 8 (Sega Saturn) Mike Matei Live

[@radcowley]

I love this era of super polished 2d games.. The animation, speed, and cd audio is still incredible.

[@Hybridknfgrowchannel]

As an audio guy CD still has my favorite sound all these years later imo it hasn't been surpassed even with flac files i love CD quality

[@wd6358]

Criminally underrated Megaman game. One of my faves

[@feezee82]

I feel like during that era a lot of 2D games were overlooked, because every one just wanted everything in 3D. I owned a PSX back then, but I don’t remember if I actually had any 2D games for it. So now it’s interesting for me to see just how many great side scrollers there were for those consoles.

[@Protoman85]

Jump jump slide slide.

[@superhubba]

Mike is the real angry videogame nerd :)

[@wolverine3149]

Controller to the dome!- 4:24:40 That crunch sound, I may watch this 50 times 😂

[@mikematei]

Water bottle.

[@wolverine3149]

Baby steps, that's cool. I know from experience the original xBox controller with the giant logo aligns perfectly with the forehead. Careful with others, I drew blood with an off-brand 360 controller.

[@jasonjohns5292]

They found a drunk at the bar to voice Dr. light

[@johnavenger]

That sounds like Elmer Fudd.

[@aestheticstorm]

I like how Mike's mood instantly improved after "that level".

[@johndixonkingdom]

Cant go wrong with megaman

[@JoeyD82288]

Never

[@Gogeta2501]

Yeah

[@retrogameraaron4778]

Best part was the look on Mike's face when he hears Dr. Light's voice acting. "We may abe...be able to locate another energy emission from the wadar woom! If we find that meteor...we'll find Dr. Wahee!"

[@YoungBideo]

This is a classic Mike Matei episode. I've watched this one most. Mike is hilarious imitating mega man and pee wee hermans voice. Just digging the banter plus it's a game I like.

[@ToyObsessed]

Haaand Job. I can't take this anymore. Always love MegaMan 8. The colors, the music, the whole atmosphere.

[@tommj4365]

21:49 that hydraulic sound is in so many movies and games... most are actually from a certain royalty free sound library CD released long ago, including the one from doom

[@Gideon_Judges6]

True story. The door one was used a lot too. Also for example the zombie troop death sound is actually just a camel groaning believe it or not.

[@yeahyeahyeah688]

Finally my favorite game in the series gets some recognition!

[@mikecoolgreen]

its my favorite mega man as well, my definition of mega man would be this game here. it always gets shitted on because of the voice acting (my guilty pleasure) but i do love the gameplay still

[@stephenaremu78]

my favorite to

[@SpandoSpando]

@@mikecoolgreen Huge mega man fan here. MM8 is a good game, but its the artstyle that turns me abit off.

[@fshoaps]

You love to slide and jump, cunt.

[@goopydroopyeyes]

1:29:30 "Nice belt asshole" 🤣💀

[@Darffone]

I dont know what it is exactly, but the combination of his honest reactions to the games, his impulsive but relevant sense of humour as well as his imperfect but awesome humanity make him my favorite out of all the youtube guys doing comics, movies, and games and that stuff. It might be because he's meta but if so this time its okay.

[@andreasnyman2839]

Are you really saying that... Mike... is Meta ? ...I'm not sure you really know what 'Meta' means...

[@ernestwoodside8304]

Jump jump slide slide I remember having to do this tons of times I feel your pain mike

[@davelewis8270]

The music in that level is great though tbf. There's a decent port that gets used in a lot of smw romhacks which is where I originally heard it.

[@HighFalutinTootin]

Mega Man Rocks in every gaming era

[@realityvanguard2052]

3:27:45 I think this is a good game EXCEPT it's too hard to tell when you have to slide and when you have to jump. They could have made that a little more clear.

[@anzarudo]

it's too late now but just wanted to say that on that last snowboarding stage, staying at the right hand side of the screen doesnt make you go faster, it just gives you less time to see the platforms ahead of you, so if you stayed on the left side you would have easily been able to make those jumps!

[@Protoman85]

I've suffered on JUMP JUMP SLIDE SLIDE so seeing Mike do too makes me happy. The only difference is he beat it after an hour but I gave up. For the record I was ALSO playing the Saturn version, and a few years later I beat it on the Playstation. That controller(d-pad) is better!

[@Theseus9-cl7ol]

"Jump Jump Slide Slide" oh my God, enough to make you go crazy!

[@mikejones5347]

I went maaaad at this stage

[@Objekt7punkt406]

Hi Mike. Since you said during the original stream to leave suggestions here; Jets & Guns is a humorous and generally pretty good horizontal shooter on PC/Steam that I think you might enjoy. To someone who has played a lot of shmups I'd imagine it's quite basic but what I think is one of the cool things in this is that you buy weapons and upgrades for your ship. And most importantly (to me at least) is the soundtrack which was made by the band Machinae Supremacy (a Swedish band that combines chiptune music and other videogame related sounds with very melodic Heavy Metal). There's also a sequel that came out last year (I think) but I haven't played that one yet. Knowing that it's highly unlikely that you'll read this (relatively) long comment I want to thank you for all the content you've provided here on KZbin and for the always so entertaining livestreams on Twitch! Hope you and Erin are doing well! /Stefan

[@Justchev]

Nice chill Sunday with Mike

[@Hybridknfgrowchannel]

Very solid game the saturn was a 2D god mode machine one thing i always loved about sega is that arcade sound always made my badass aiwa sound like an arcade cabinet 😂

[@jeffb.6642]

lmao the rage at 2:49:52

[@vjspectron]

"I JUMPED- it slid." -such a real gaming moment at 35:27. This is such a good episode with the voice acting and snowboarding.

[@Psychokyuubi666]

MM8 is among my faves of the Classic series. Grenade man’s stage being my favorite track.

[@jimmyandersson9890]

4:24:38😐

[@golden_eldorado]

Listening constantly to the sound of Megaman charging his cannon makes me wanna play “Super Metroid”

[@segaoldschoolsega925]

2:13:41 mikeeeee oh nooo you where right there !!! 😮😅

[@Gideon_Judges6]

3:58:38 I cringed when Mike didn't see the 1up right before the boss 😭

[@DiscernedEyes]

1:19:46 "ma megaman"

[@johnshafer1811]

idk what mike is hearing but dr.light voice was by far the best i ever heard for 2 dollars a hour

[@MusicandGamesandStuf]

4:08:42

[@matiasgonzalezreguilon7908]

3:17:10 Now is a Meme.

[@bobhope626]

played this game all the time on PS1 years ago and totally forgot about it, could never get past the first bosses so watching this was a pleasure. Thanks Mike. The background scenery and chill background music in this game is some of the best I've ever experienced in any platforming game, ever

[@BiriBiri925]

3:33:46 Dear God ...

[@johnsos9]

I used to think Clown Man's stage was my least favorite in the series until I played Bounce Man's in 11. Both are annoying but this one has been dethroned as the worst in my opinion.

[@portmantologist]

Who decided that we want to hear our player characters talking throughout the entire game? I certainly wouldn't want to hear "POWER SHOT!" every time I charge my weapon.

[@plextors-playthroughs]

Or that stupid annoying BURN TO THE GROUND repeated over and over

[@fwobebe5164]

Everyone always asks what the P stands for. So Megaman wants to beat it into our heads in the 8th game, with each shot he shoots.

[@Hybridknfgrowchannel]

Sega could do a dreamcast re launch and take the world by storm people would lose their shits over that for damn sure

[@grandmasterkupo3272]

How close to the screen does mike sit?

[@rimjobledouche5201]

I had this on Saturn. I had to sell it and many others during our recession. Shit sucked hard. Watching this makes me feel better.

[@Sega_Dreams]

Don't look up the value now... 😥

[@JustinEvitable80]

Entered the live premier sometime around the 1:45:00 mark, made it to about 4:30:00 and had to go. Time to watch what I missed....

[@jcsf0otrub992]

Mike your game play is GOLD

[@segaoldschoolsega925]

3:48:31 I know the feeling I tried playing super Mario bros 3 with a sega pro controller the 6 button one and it was a nightmare playing it

[@paulieswalnut]

Doctor Light sounds like Judd Hirsch pumped full of Klonopin 😂😂😂

[@MasterRoshi8974]

I literally just bought a Saturn because of this video..thanks for sharing the stream

[@Sega_Dreams]

Did you sell your car and buy a copy of Mega Man 8, too? lol

[@Hybridknfgrowchannel]

​@@Sega_Dreams😂

[@lordcolinb]

Amazing show thank you

[@geodaet83]

1:19:25 is the best cutscene in video game history

[@Multipak34]

This Game Was Part Of My Childhood.Im Glad Mike Showed The Saturn Version.Which Has More Extras.

[@preamstrikbiz0]

😂 fat pee wee Herman “ I’m greennnaaadddeeee man!”

[@InfiniCalendar]

3:30:30 It's like the F-ing Turbo Tunnel!

[@TheTogoRojo]

Lol that ending though

[@TheRealAkaRai]

When I was a kid Mega Man was my favorite series. I remember saving up change for months to be able to get a copy of MM6. MM8 is actually the game I wanted a playstation for. When I got it, I didn't realize you needed memory cards for it, so I'd just play through this game start to finish. I've beaten this game so many times. Only part I remember frustrating me was the Frost Man stage. I thought the mega ball was a nice nod to the terrible Mega Man Soccer game. Never understood the hate this game got later. Or 6 for that matter.

[@fwobebe5164]

The Rush Items can totally heal your health, dude ;^^ sorry I wasn't in the chat to tell you that. But at least you did it the hard way. 😅

[@Gibsongoson]

Mike you could have a metal band where u do vocals just saying

[@kumicopen]

Dr. Wahwee!?

[@charlesayahuasca9594]

You mocking the cutscenes was absolutely freaking hilarious oh my god

[@Novapoid]

I like how Mike was losing his mind not only during the infamous skate-sequence but also during the whole credits (for no reason). I'm glad he liked MM8 though; I believe it's very underrated and it looks gorgeous.

[@spellbinder7036]

This game looks so cool!

[@spellbinder7036]

It's so different from the other ones

[@immortaluglyfish2724]

By chance, was the game you were thinking of "Snowboard Kids" from Atlus?

[@evenglare]

Jump Jump Slide Slide leads mike to be the poster boy for becoming "Tilted"

[@ernestwoodside8304]

never thought the kick ball would work great job

[@upthecreek9784]

I used to have that jessica rabbit standee in the background. Not exact one but I used to work at movie theater. It's how I got it. I like that your playing rts games some lately too. Games like megaman take a laser focus at points

[@TheTogoRojo]

847 1:19:26 riffing on the cut scene voice actors.

[@WizardOnAWhale7]

Never knew there was a Mega Man for Saturn. 🤯

[@Scruffytuba]

I might be in the minority when I say that Megaman 8 is my favorite and im very sad they didnt continue this design. As for the voice acting Mike, (or lack thereof) it was Capcom in the 90's....what did you expect haha. Remember Resident Evil only a few years earlier?

[@Gunbu]

Love this game. Always a bit thrown off that Mega Man can't duck. In the original NES versions it makes sense he can't- he's super short. But in this game he's like Luigi height and it always seemed like he should be able to squat down to fire lower or avoid enemies, bullets, etc.

[@dougo670]

Quite late to the party here, but I loved Mega Man growing up and was so pumped to play a "modern" version on the PS1. Oh, man what a treat I was in for with the voice dubs! I couldn't believe it. Great to relive that moment when you first saw those cut scenes 1 hr 30 in! I, however, could not for the life of me get past the damn jump jump slide slide in Wily's castle. So sadly ended my time with this game.

[@anthonyagueci2418]

Stick with it man. I'm not the best platform era gamer but I just beat it today. It's ain't THAT hard. Pretty hard tho lol.

[@buzzt5911]

Mega Mike

[@thenicksterdude010]

Dr wowy

[@ogissd]

Love the megaman series...especially de X series and the Zero series...was never fan of the original series.....

[@zanychelly]

8 and 11 are quite good.

[@fwobebe5164]

It's always infuriating to watch him pop in any Megaman Zero game, because he can't pause through the opening story, he always quits before starting. >n

[@brunomoreno3666]

It was very fun watching mike suffer so much on the first wily level.

[@michaelneal5817]

Never seen a grown man lose his mind before. Very interesting.

[@TheZaius]

Man, you can see the color drain from his face once he realizes there's a puzzle in the room.

[@mikematei]

Not usually looking for a puzzle when I play Mega Man

[@TheZaius]

@@mikematei Yeah, it does seem like the game is extra puzzly for a Mega Man game. It makes me think of earlier Kirby games, like Dreamland 3 or Kirby 64, particularly the dark room where you have to use a specific power to light it up so you can find out the correct color sequence at the end.

[@pizzahighfive2612]

The best Megaman game hands down. It's soo anime.

[@mdaley7038]

An i thought i had some rage problems. God i love your freak outs mike. Thanks for the laughs buddy

Use Astro Crush near the end of snowboarding segment.

I wish we get The Saturn's Version of Megaman 8 Rebranded as "Megaman 8: X-Tended".

Use ice wave when the boss is on either far side still takes a long time to take him out

Mike is it true that on Mega Man X for Snes you can unlock a Hadoken upgrade for Mega Man's Mbuster??

Hey Mike just watching on u tube here where would rank mega man 8 in the series was this Saturn only did the PlayStation have it too I know the x series went on through PlayStation

I dunno this is my first time really playing it. I liked it. I should have played the PS version though.

[@wesburnett5309]

@@mikematei thanks for the reply looks like a really good game a lot of variety in the gameplay that have never seen in a mega man game music and graphics look really good I have recently did the wily wars on sega of course cross that off my list also I grew up on the era u did im same age as u and James my favourite video u guys did was the Simons quest where james help u through the game it reminds so much of growing up on a weekends with my brother or friends renting a game trying to help each other beat a game get as far as we can and yes rage against the controller I swore I hit the jump button eating lots of pizza and gulping down 2liters like it was going out of style pizza hut and mountain dew mostly take it easy mike kick some video game ass

@@mikematei the Saturn version is honestly better for having extra exclusive content such as the boss fights with Cutman & Woodman. Also a bonus option menu.

[@retrogameraaron4778]

@@MegaNerdX Yep, and Tengu Man's stage has different music in the Playstation version. It's a matter of personal taste, but I like the music in the Saturn version much better...my favorite music in the game actually, and it's gone in the Playstation version.
