"I'll play and you blow" - Mike Matei 2015

[@GoldenMaggot]

What a fuckin' quote

[@HaxHaunter]

***** i guess you could say that was... "mind blowing"

[@PKspectre]

No.

[@LevKalashnikov]

Milkaroni when exactly it started? i remember there was a video with James, Mike and Bootsy (and one more guy?).

[@BioPhoenixReviews]

***** Rise i had no idea you were into that XD

[@SWad250]

I love how childish they became when using the microphone.

[@Pix3l_Pr1ncess]

i did too

[@onvogmasaj]

my friend got my zelda 1 map confiscated by the teacher. we went on a mission during lunch to break it out of her file cabinet and were successful.

[@supernovel7514]

Because it was a Swastika?

[@milescurtisnorwood9957]

Nanda lmao good point but Link probably understood, he's an OG in the gaming world.

[@SlimeyNinjaV]

"I'm shooting ducks with a piano!" "I just shot a duck by saying 'fuck'"! "I just fucked the Pols Voice!" You James rock!

[@MrGencyExit64]

Interesting bit of trivia, most TVs in the US cannot tune to channels 95-97 because that overlaps with FM radio frequencies. The FCC used to prevent it, but they stopped caring in the late 90s and it's actually newer TVs that have a greater chance of tuning to the right channel. Channel 1, which is equally hard to find, is also known to work with Famicom on NTSC-J compatible TVs (it sounds like these would be hard to find, but domestic SONY TVs fall under this category).

[@CODMarioWarfare]

They also added support for those frequencies for cable systems.

[@ThePaperKhan]

Old systems look bad on new tvs tho

[@sunnysurfer101MA]

That's actually decent microphone quality for the Famicom.

[@CMOYoung]

Compare to "GUHSTBUSTUHRS"

[@fathinmedia6340]

ikr

[@MystycCheez]

I still hear people with shittier microphones nowadays online LMAO

[@gitgud391]

Sounds like xbox 360 microphones

[@Austin.D]

I love James & Mike Monday's it makes me feel like I'm actually their hanging out with them .

[@Pix3l_Pr1ncess]

Austin Droke I know it's the best! :)

[@CyberVsWolverine]

Austin Droke i think that is the best feature that this channel has!! You are watching two regular friends hanging out enjoying videogames.

[@Chaos89P]

Somehow I find that voice thing pretty impressive, for an 8-bit system.

[@turnupthesun81]

Chaos89P my best friend from Japan had a Famicom growing up and we would just yell obscenities into the microphone through the TV. His parents didn’t know much English so the never knew what we were saying.

[@dreamlandnightmare]

I don't really see the point of it, though. (How many games was it actually an incorporated function?) It was so useless, they left it out of the NES model.

[@averygamerdude7911]

The teacher was all like "What? The Legend of Zelda sword shoots?" And then 10 kids said "Yeah yeah it does!!" Made my day...

[@FizzleFX]

THATS WHY LINK IS MUTE!!!! YOU - ARE - HIS - VOICE!!!

[@Pix3l_Pr1ncess]

Mind blown 😨

[@AtlasBlizzard]

Miguel Sanchez That certainly explains why you are asked to input your name in every single game, even though technically the hero is called Link.

[@dsimpson7476]

Miguel sanchez nice profile pic ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@PeteSkerritt]

Despite not being a big Zelda fan myself, I can totally understand why the game is so well-liked. I do remember how kids used to share tips and strategies with other kids, and how immersed into the world of Hyrule that players got as they made their way toward Ganon. It's too bad that we didn't get the microphone option for the NES here; that could've made for some neat gameplay tricks back then... much like we saw for the DS/3DS years later. Using voice to combat enemies was thinking outside of the box back then and is yet another example of Nintendo/Miyamoto creativity.

[@libayregal2155]

de lo mejor

[@RetroHiDef]

hahahahahaha anything zelda i just love!

[@FreshprinceObelair]

Peter Skerritt I disagree. It seems like this game is heavily reliant on walkthroughs and I don't see how this game is really well liked. I see the same arguments used for this game and I simply don't see how people can hate Simon's Quest and still praise this game. I'd say, not as a Zelda fan, that A Link to the Past got it correct.

[@FreshprinceObelair]

Chippen Dale I've never played COD. Yes, I have played games before the internet. No, I still don't like the original Zelda. I don't consider finding a completely random bush to burn in the wild a challenge. I don't really consider figuring out an items second purpose in one specific place a challenge. I don't like the game at all. Just because I don't like Zelda doesn't automatically imply I'm some kind of child who has hard ons for FPS games. I prefer challenging games, but this was just unfair.

[@MrThuralion]

FreshprinceObelair Never played the original Zelda but one evening at my summerhouse (it doesn't have electricity) I had an emulator installed on my DS and played the original Zelda blind. I got through most dungeons and found tons of secrets, it's a really addicting aspect and it's honestly not a "challenge" but it's not supposed to be a challenge, just exploration fun.

[@betsydeath]

That sword story at the end was priceless. I was whisked back to my childhood for a minute through the enthusiasm on your face. On an otherwise shitty Monday you made my morning! Thanks James.

[@TheInunah]

I have my grandma's copy of a Zelda 1 map... it is seriously annotated. Like, full on almost every single secret (if not all of them, anyway) and pointing out every single dungeon location. And it's a very fragile thing, too, since it appears to have been well-utilized for a good deal of time... If anyone wants pictures, I can take some. I'd scan it but the map's pretty fragile and since it's too large for my scanner I don't want to risk trying to scan it in parts and have the map rip in half from the lid being closed.

[@antdude]

TheInunah "Just do it!" --Shia/Nike

[@clydefrosch]

[@bagoheado9065]

I still have my original map, but I never wrote anything on it. That's pretty cool and I wish I had.

SIMIFU most old tvs in the us i know of had 125 channels total. Sometimes you would have to use the remote to get that far as auto channel searches only gave you working channels with a signal.

I intentionally play my NES on an old 80s TV with coaxial support because that's the way I remember playing it and it's the way I most enjoy it.

[@FireMrshlBill]

TanRu Nomad I remember having to switch coax inputs between the NES and Atari, what a pain. Luckily my dad eventually hooked it up via composite when they got a better TV. Though, after our Commodore 64 died in the mid 90's, I used the C64 monitor (had composite and mono audio inputs) for the NES in my bedroom. The C64 monitor even did well for the N64 when that came out, looked much better than using a VCR to coax input on my 1980's 13" Emerson I had in my bedroom.

[@Musicradio77Network]

washburn085 I used my 7" JVC portable B&W TV from 1976 hooked up to my NES and play it just like a toy.

[@Sc0pee]

[@robertwest4299]

[@TotallyRadical]

Zelda changed my life as well. Never had played anything like that when it came out before. Link to the past is my fav zelda game too and certainly in my top 5 or so all time. I'll never forget being in 9th grade when Link to the Past released and being excited to tell my friends how far I had gotten or be jealous if one have them had done something I hadnt seen yet. Great memories

[@XRG81]

I beat Zelda 1 without a guide when I was 8, so it's definitely possible. I had to use graph paper and literally bomb, burn, whistle every possible tile, but I did it (I would have killed for Castlevania II's infinite holy water). Zelda II has enough cryptic stuff I needed a guide though. Most NES-era games are cryptic due to poor translation, so I never held it against Castlevania II. I find it the least frustrating NES Castlevania.

[@Tamacat388]

XRG81 I actually hear that Castlevania 2 is similarly cryptic and confusing in Japan as well making our translation even shittier than normal.

[@a.j8307]

XRG81 I did beat the Legend of Zelda before I could WALK.

[@Nelcyon_Travel]

[@Musicradio77Network]

He wore a shirt that has Led Zeppelin on it. I'm not a fan of Led Zeppelin but I've heard one song called "Stairway to Heaven" or "Whole Lotta Love". The song "Whole Lotta Love" was okay, but the one that I never liked the most was the experimental break, that was right up there with "Revolution 9" by the Beatles from the "White Album" and "Susan" by the Buckinghams, because it was too creepy to hear that experimental part.

[@Hellwyck]

Musicradio77 Television Network 1. Listen to Black Dog, Kashmir When The Levee Breaks Achiles' Last Stand Ramble On Trampled Under Foot 2. their = their car... they're = they are. there = over there 3.

[@Adahnone1]

Back in my days we had replicas of famicom from China in post-USSR. And that is the reason why I have habit to sit like japanese with my legs crossed. By the way ALL this replicas have turbo-buttons and perfectly working laser guns. Also why do you need 95 channel? You just pick any channel and set it to the same frequency that the famicom uses. I managed to set it even on russian TV from 50s.

[@joseagustincuesta]

Evgeniy Homenko You can't change frequency on American televisions, it just so happens that channel 92 or 95 on wards have a similar frequency to the one needed to play.

And yet the greatest mystery still...that truck. 🚛

[@MrWolfSnack]

Do you guys not know of COAX-to-RCA adapters? They're like $2.

[@not2tired]

The stock console internally combines the video signal with audio and Rf modulation. Coax-RCA adapters don't remove the resulting video noise. To clean up the video, you need to remove the modulator and mixer, and install dedicated audio and video output jacks, usually with some sort of simple impedance matching circuit.

[@laszlodomonkos3941]

[@fergalstackstreams]

I remember playacting as characters from Zelda in my friend's backyard and I ended up being the worst hero ever. There was a creek that was pretty old, so the sides were basically these six foot cliffs. I walked up to the edge holding my paper Triforce I had made, and the ground gave way and I fell right into the water.

[@ifacro]

We had the Famicom in Latin America, the NES never made it here.

[@gabrieleriva651]

And the Master System. Europe and South America were ALL SMS land...

[@ifacro]

Gabriele Riva Yeah, but it wasn't nearly as popular as the Famicom, in fact I didn't know anyone who owned one.

[@superstarmandl]

Huh, that's interesting. Where in Latin America is that, or is it just ALL of the region that got Famicom?

[@ifacro]

superstarmandl All of Latin America, afaik.

[@gabrieleriva651]

ifacro Never heard that. Also, isn't Latin America PAL?

[@StrangeDad]

I don't understand the TV channel-thing. When I was a kid, what you did was to start a frequency search until you got the video game input. Why couldn't you do this with that TV? Is there some difference between U.S. televisions and European televisions in that regard?

[@Fred_PJ]

travis DG edna Exactly, I don't get it either, I guess that the guys aren't used to working with old TV's with RF input. You have to MANUALLY tune (and not auto tune) the frequency in a channel number you want and then memorize it in that channel. The channel numbers are just "slots" where you can memorize (save) any frequency that you setup manually. This means that you can setup the Famicom in channel 1, even in a TV with just a few channels (channel slots).

[@esmooth919]

Honestly, I think it's different between each continent. So it's understandable that Japan would use different frequencies than the United States, or Europe for that matter. It's like, you have to have a special kind of radio here in the United States in order to pick up Japanese radio stations. You feel me?

[@jokuemt]

Tetsamaru my oldass CRT-TV has manual tune controlls(and volume/channel controls) in the TV itself, and we dont/didnt have remote for it.

[@sopothetocho]

Tetsamaru PAL tv always had channel settings and you could search the frequency manualy, so you could store a frequency in any channel you wanted. For example I had a TV that only had 10 channels but each channel had its own individual knob to change the frequency this was a +40 years old TV

[@StrangeDad]

Tetsamaru My parents TV was pretty old, though. I think we got the answer from rayci santana. :)

[@ltclassics]

The Famicom operates on cable channel 95 which is 91.25 MHZ for the video carrier and 95.75 MHZ for the audio carrier. This means you could actually listen to the audio from your Famicom on any radio tuned to 95.75 FM (if you touch the rf output to your radio antenna, of course). This is also pretty close to TV channel 6 (VHF) so if your old tv has a fine tuning knob, depending on just how far you can adjust the fine tuning you might be able to get a system to work on channel 6.

10:37 I've been missing a heart contianer in my zelda save file for years! Thank you for teahcing me that hidden spot!

[@VidyaBros1]

Never knew there was a Zelda game for the Famicom.

[@spoonsharkart4550]

***** the famicom is the Japanese NES......

[@VidyaBros1]

TheEvaGuy I know. And I just saw a bit of the video. I didn't know it was the same game. I at first thought it was gonna be a different Zelda game. Idk why.

[@spoonsharkart4550]

***** Dont' be rude

[@knightmayor1703]

CF-105 Games Mother and Earthbound are 2 completely different games.... Mother 1 never made it to the US, while Earthbound is Mother 2.

[@zerolavo13]

SirNightmayor Earth bound zero is the US release. aka mother 1 in JP.

[@razorjake6839]

the saved game says Rinku. ^_^ Link's ORIGINAL name, lol

[@YouSoSpice]

That Link monologue was really cute. Probably the funniest thing I've seen here in some time.

[@BolverkAtlasia]

The idea of screaming at cutesy animals to kill them is the most brutal and hilarious thing.

[@littlenickdigger9885]

... Oh wait-- I WANNA TALK TO LINK! "I love you guys" - Eric Cartman

[@Poki3]

Explain this to a European, please. Why do you need channel 95? Can't you just pick any channel and set it to the same frequency that the Famicom uses? That's how we setup our analog TV channels and older (pre-PlayStation area) consoles and computers.

[@LBFlowers32]

It's because the famicon was region lock and wouldn't have worked on any tv outside of Japan,and I assume after channel 80 the lock out chip doesn't work

[@TheDeeplyCynical]

Poki#3 I think you're confusing channels with pre-sets. I'm from the UK so i don't know how it works in NTSC land but we could tune "Channel 1" (the preset when you press 1 on the remote) to UHF Channel 36. I thnk the US might be different but the Japanese frequency allocation was different than the US. The frequency the japanese used for "Channel 3" is on the frequency the US uses for "Channel 95". US TV's that were "cable-ready" might have been able to tune to the higher channels.

[@jeremiaas15]

Poki#3 American TVs have their channels pre-tuned to certain frequencies, and by the systeme they use, the frequency which would get Famicon feed should be on channel 95.

[@jakegamesnake]

Region lock is such bullshit

[@Poki3]

jeremiaas15 Really? There's no way to tune American TVs? What if the channels you watch most often are on 12, 42 and 59 and you'd prefer to have them on 1, 2 and 3?

[@Seraph419]

What i like about their Monday-Videos is that they share their childhood memories with us and even if you never played the same Game, you can feel the same feelings and memories for other games you've played as a kid. This video remembers me about my experience with Pokemon Red/Blue an James' feelings for the Castlevania Franchise during his Castlevaniathon are the same like my feelings to the Halo Franchise.

[@vadont]

James killed the rabbit head by saying 'fuck' ..... that just make my day =D

[@dunkinnatalie]

Yay! Thanks for uploading, guys! You're the greatest!

[@dunkinnatalie]

ZombiEBenoiT DUDE! LMFAO

[@dunkinnatalie]

ZombiEBenoiT you must be subbed to me on Google+! Lol I thought you disappeared

[@Musicradio77Network]

As Ralph Kramden would say "Baby, you're the greatest!"

[@sleepy1697]

That's not just any Japanese kid, that's a random Japanese kid named Risowa (according to the save file), also the second name is basically three mid-characters, it would be like typing ---. There you go, anyone curious about the Japanese names is now situated.

[@sleepy1697]

***** Oh subnote to that, I think Risowa is the name the Japanese use instead of Link.

[@joseagustincuesta]

***** Not really, they use the characters they use for pronounciation of foreigns words for it, it's Rinku. I don't know how it's written though.

[@sleepy1697]

José Cuesta Then why does the Japanese box say Risawa? I'm confused.

[@joseagustincuesta]

***** Where exactly? I don't really know japanese, I'm just curious.

[@sleepy1697]

José Cuesta It's hard for me to point to a picture, but on the back of boxes it always starts with "Risowa (in katakana) ga (in hiragana)" which means Risowa is... But my Japanese reading is piss poor so I can't read the rest.

[@emyouel]

It's so unique kill enemies with your voice in the 80's game , amazing

[@rg31404]

I think the artifacts/distortion/noise added by the coaxial looks beautiful.

[@spongebobfan190]

I'm buying a Famicom and the Famicom version of Zelda just so I can do that.

[@Tuxy79]

This was awesome.

[@JZKittyGaming]

OMG all the childhood memories on that game, I love Zelda!

[@TeriosFSE]

Episode 104. Doesn't feel like 2 years since you started. Time flies when you're playing games.

[@PYROTEKNIK69]

you guys rock

[@jakegamesnake]

actually they're mostly water and calcium carbonate

[@PYROTEKNIK69]

jakegamesnake hyuck hyuck hyuck

[@EBarSays]

Dammit Marie, it's a mineral.

[@squidkid4580]

Mike and James, I live in Italy and our TVs doesn't have channels, I have a '90 TV, will the Famicom work? Thx

[@ShermTank7272]

I really like how they brought back the microphone thing when fighting Pols Voice in Phantom Hourglass for the DS

[@indielocke]

The story at the end about the shooting sword was the best part of this video. I can only imagine that classroom and the teacher's reaction to 10+ kids telling her that a sword shoots.

[@trashkan66]

5:08 Mike it was a Re-released famicom game from 92 so how can the save been from 80s? :/

[@djlamar2]

I actually just recently beat the nes Zelda

[@FlackoWeasel]

Love the echo on "fuck you" at 9:08

[@derekspradling7452]

I think crypticness works in zelda, because it's the kind of game you can explore and find the solution. Unfortunately, sometimes, the answer is to do something completely off the wall and ridiculous; something which you would have to be desperately stuck on a puzzle, but this somehow adds to the game. for example; when you have to walk through some of the walls in the final palace of Zelda II.

[@markkestner6514]

I don't know about you, but when I got up to the great palace I naturally tried to walk through the wall. I guess it's just because I've already had experience in other games like Metroid. P.S: I love Zelda II
