its ironic that James isnt even a very angry video gamer... his pretty calm and even when something annoys him he seems to laugh it off... Mike...well... his the real AVGN
Mike's personality is way more in line with James' character than James' personality is, which is hilarious. Honestly, guys, watching you die and plan and die again was way more entertaining than watching two guys (who we know can get through the game) breeze through it with no problem. It was way more fun that way, we were all rooting for you rather than, "Yea. There he goes. Got the jump. Killed the guy. Did it again. Wow he's good." Keep it up, best J&M Monday yet.
If you have a big chuck of knowledge of 6502 MOS Assembly language, and know which oppcode does what, you can do hit, I think it is doable, but I don't see much of a point to do this.
True friendships were made playing coop games like this! "Take it slow" "Ill be more aggressive since im on the top" "It worked last time" all top quality joke quotes! "Theres too much shit!"
Bart Smith They seem good at constructively raging at each other as well. Like when he gets angry as shit because James ran through too quick he could have just yelled "FUCK JAMES GOD DAMN IT YOU SUCK" or some shit like some people I know, but instead just says "You went too fast!" and James says "Yeah I know, sorry". It really is a cool relationship to watch
I think it's amazing how you two have managed to remain such close friends after all these years. Some folks change after they get famous and get huge egos. It's awesome to see that you guys are so down to earth and not full of yourselves. Much respect. :)
14:10 LOL Mike blaming James for dying. Man, that was the best part of multiplayer games w/ your buddies sitting next to you. I used to blame my brother's for talking too loud, my parents for asking me stuff while we were playing, the fucking birds outside my window. Ahhh classic memories.
My uncle recently passed away and watching this reminds me of him... He introduced me to such classic games and I remember playing this for hours with him as a kid, and that's the reason I always find this game to be easy with two players... RIP miss you 😭
Triforcefilms Your telling me. Pretty intense! As another commenter on a Contra video has said. You don't play Contra to win. You come in to accept your failure.
I beat this as a kid without dying once, but i tried again after this video.... NO fucking way. used about 10 lives... We'll never quite be as quick and adaptable as we once were.
lol, maybe this comes down to how much time is healthy to spend playing the same game as an adult, vs doing it as a kid:-) It was ok that i played Contra every single day when i was 8, now its hard to justify a full playthrough when theres adult responsibility looming around every corner.
Yeah, well.. you almost seem to have a valid point here, if the game needed that much play to master. It's one of the easiest games I've played on the NES and I don't see how responsibility can also get in the way.
We robots love you, James. Even though you battled our relative ROB in the past. We are here to make peace. We see that you enjoy killing humans virtually in Contra -- very funny. You will be spared in the robot uprising.
It doesn't matter if you were just kids in the late 20th century, eager young game enthusiasts from the modern age of gaming, or just potheads in your late twenties reliving your youth and having a good laugh---this game NEVER gets old!!!
Guys, I hope you can take comfort in that this loss is the most entertaining of ALL your Monday series: When you DON'T succeed. REAL reactions and REAL frustration that we can all relate to, with NO acting, NO editing and showing your skills live (excellent attempt BTW)! Loved it. Keep uploading this Contra game til you do it! PS: Burst out laughing with the "only live thrice gag" and then James loses a life right on cue.
When I was a kid this was an epic challenge. I can still remember the feeling when I first beat it!!! Went back some years ago to try it out and it's still super fun but it's not as hard now as when I was a kid. I eventually managed to get to a point where I could beat it multiple times without a continue.
Few people tend to realize this, but the "R" powerup isn't actually a weapon: It boosts the speed of your bullets, no matter what weapon you have! IE: If you have a spreader and pick up an R, you now have a spreader with faster bullets! :O
I think most people would recognize it right after the machine gun drop is an R and makes the gun obviously shoot faster in the beginning of stage 1... They couldn't have made it more obvious imo
The episode is awesome. So much natural. It's really like when we played it with friends playing such a difficult awesome game. The only difference from back in the days, James don't have his Mom getting down and shouting to be more quiet while playing.
I'm sure everyone who follows this series makes this realization at some point, but it's funny that Mike's the one who gets so pissed and not the Angry Video Game Nerd himself.
your partership here is IMPECCABLE! obviously it's because you know how this game works & the best way to get through it. it's a joy watching you guys run through this.
Dude. Dude? Dudes! I can't believe you brought back my childhood nostalgia! My heart weeps with joy on hearing the musical beats of Contra! I am the youngest of One brother and thats all you need to "flip" this game(Banded Brothers in VideoGames). In this game it showed the person you are and how a team can accomplish one of the greatest video games of all time. I admit it was rare to encounter a solo soldier(Gamer) who passed the game without the code. Still, you are a cool person James to play with Mike, and let him tag along in the Contra Wars.Keep up the good work. Thank you.
SomeoneWitSkill i find mike to be either really entertaining or he makes me really uncomfortable. does anyone else get what i mean? he can be really off sometimes and its a little unsettling, yet at other times he can be down right hilarious.
I'm always trying new things as far as fitting the images on the screen. In some of the new episodes coming up, I added a logo to the black area. Anyway, thanks for watching - Mike
Cinemassacre Hey Mike are you guys ever gonna take another stab at Contra? Also I think it would kick ass if you guys played Contra 3. Thanks for the great videos. Keep em coming. :)
elway41177 Yeah, they seriously should play Contra 3: The Alien Wars. I don't know why they almost never talk about that game, because it is easily one of the best Contra games. Who can forget the part when you ride a motorcycle on a highway and then grab a chopper and start jumping between flying missiles? That part would make any action movie awesome.
"you gotta slow down, james" mike should remember that james' wife never says that man, i could feel the pain mike was going through from my childhood, even though i didnt play shooters.... i did do other platformers, which also required jumping and watching the enemies at the same time first the pain of AVGN, now of james and mike..... mike mostly how many times i smashed the strong (compared to these days) controllers against the wall or on the ground (and still worked for 100%...... but i was a kid, so yeah)
This is (in my opinion) one of the best episodes of James & Mike Mondays. Mike getting angry is one of the most fun things about the show. (I don't mind James & John...but it's nowhere near as fun a show as James & Mike Mondays. I hope Mike comes back.)
Fun fact: The Japanese version of this game has little cutscenes in between missions. They don't really add all that much to the game but I thought it was pretty neat.
They also added moving scenery and landscapes. Such as windblown palm trees in the first stage. Snowstorms in stage 5. And also moving body parts in stage 8. And it's all used in a chip in the famicom called the VRC2 which the nes didn't have. I guess the cutscenes and background effects were not in nes version due to manufacturing costs.
Foxhoundcommandable The chip was in the cartridge, not in the console itself. These chips are called "mappers" and all but the simplest NES games used one. And the Japanese version was the original console port, the US release was stripped down. I'm not really sure why they did that. Could be they just wanted to make the game cheaper to produce. But also in Japan, anybody could make a Famicom cart, but in the US (and elsewhere) Nintendo tried to make sure that only they could produce NES carts. So Konami may have simply not had the option of using the VRC2 chip they'd used in the Japanese version of Contra. I never really noticed the scenery stuff you mentioned, I'll have to find some time to play the game again and check it out.
I can only imagine how hard Contra is 2 player and giving commentary! I like this video though because it brought me back to childhood. The anguish and controller-throwing and sweaty palms. Sure we have perfect-run Contra videos on RUclips but your video is the true trip down memory lane!
Both of them have the same functional way to end everything that is on screen. Even if it's on the manual or not, there is really just pure nerdgasm as the result of that little S.
Man, I feel some adrenaline only by watching this, it almost feels like I'm actually playing the game. That's some cool gameplay to watch, you two are strategic but also have fun, it's nice to watch.
#JamesRolfe, #MikeMatei; I love your shows, guys! You are both extremely talented and I applaud all the effort you put into these vids!! Y'all make my Mondays so much brighter, and quite literally, everyday of the week too!! You guys are my coffee, lol, can't start the day without at least a handful of Cinemassacre vids to keep me going strong the rest of the day!! You guys give me, and countless others, entertainment & nostalgia you just can't get anywhere else! Thank you to both of you guys!
You guys are funny! Watching this bought tears to my eyes, me and my lil brother used to play a lot and we both are badass players (Brags like a boss) ^_^. Thanks for re-kindling the Contra memories!
these guys have an awesome life. playing some games with a friend and chillin. cant get better than that. we should hang out on ur next james and mike.
20:26 "Let me be a little more aggresive since I'm on the top" - James Rolfe
"FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK"
-Mike Matei
Sounds like something my girlfriend would say when we're having sex in a car!
You're going too fast James! You gotta slow down. -Mike
@@chaddoom7993 thank you that was the joke
....that's what SHE said!
😆🤣
its ironic that James isnt even a very angry video gamer... his pretty calm and even when something annoys him he seems to laugh it off... Mike...well... his the real AVGN
I guess he didn't really take the game too seriously either. They were playing for fun after all.
Well it's because AVGN is a character James plays not how he actually acts about games
DieHardjagged Nuka Cola Films Do you know what irony means????
ccubeice a what are you talking about
The amount of testosterone created by Mikes massive manhood is too much not to get frustrated
Imagine hearing these guys from the basement
"FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK!"
"I'll be more aggressive on the top"
Ellie Williams XD
Hah! I believe that was happening a lot back in the days.. Shit, I've even done it
febbra2 Very you aggressive enough? XD
Yippi Yay, don't you mean, "Are you an Aggressive on top enough dude to save the president?"
Ellie Williams wife and girlfriend chatting upstairs and hear that
The "R" is a general gun upgrade, regardless of the weapon you have. It upgrades speed and power, even works with spread.
Rapid
. . .in other words RARELY HELPFUL!
Getting the R’s spread is the key to beating this game without the code
omg, never knew that... amaze
I thought the same thing too. I know I have not played this in years but I remember that.
James dresses up to become the Angry Video Game Nerd, Mike already is.
+SethBlizzard lol
I love how calm James is and how Mike is the real life AVGN.
Mike's personality is way more in line with James' character than James' personality is, which is hilarious.

Such explosive anger coming from Mike. As well as blaming James for his own mistakes.
that's the name of the game.
but its more entertaining that way!
I definitely wouldn't call that "explosive" anger, that's just "this NES game is kicking my ass" anger.
I can definitely tell from his reactions to these videos he's the "know it all" of the group.
I got to the final boss without getting hit once, for real.
Contra isn't as hard as it's cracked up to be, in my opinion.
Can you imagine if friendly fire was a thing in this game?!
no.
I don't want to imagine such a thing, my mind is easily boggled
If you have a big chuck of knowledge of 6502 MOS Assembly language, and know which oppcode does what, you can do hit, I think it is doable, but I don't see much of a point to do this.
I think as a mode b it would be a much better challenge than getting spread and just holding right and shoot.
Man this brings me back! I was 19 back then. 12 pack of beer and Contra! Still have it. My N.E.S. still works.
19! Now thats an oldschool gamer! :D I was about 7 or 8 :)
and now you and I are old too!😆 @@djjoel1
If a friendship can survive Contra co-op it can survive anything.
Noob I can end Contra solo, I am maybe Chuck Norris reincarnation
bunnyfreakz I believe it is spelled n00b lol and I can assure you Contra is more difficult in co-op rather than easier.
bobbypaycheque bunnyfreakz
It should also be added that Chuck Norris isn't dead.
Haha

you're going to fast now James!
+fuzzcentralage Mike needs to calm his tits down. They're really hyper tits.
fuzzcentralage that sounds real bad out of context
Aaron Mackellar Sounds good depending who you are.
he's going to fast? man I couldn't do that, I'd be too hungry all the time
"Be more aggressive since I'm on top". LOL
there are a lot of lines between james and mike that can be taken out of context very easily...
man this guy, james, seems like someone really awesome to hang out with
mike too actually
Yan Jod no
Yan Jod They both complement each other. That's why they both gain a success.
Bart Smith They seem good at constructively raging at each other as well. Like when he gets angry as shit because James ran through too quick he could have just yelled "FUCK JAMES GOD DAMN IT YOU SUCK" or some shit like some people I know, but instead just says "You went too fast!" and James says "Yeah I know, sorry". It really is a cool relationship to watch
God It'd b awesome to be able to hangout with these two
"I'll be more aggressive on top." LMFAO XD
Thanks for the shout-out fellas! :)
when can we expect to see the new album brent?!
When I heard him say, "What's R stand for?" I thought "Rarely helpful..." and it blew my mind when he said it...
"fuck james, you're going to fast, you need to slow down" - mike 2014
That awkward silence after 14:10 when Mike dies; games like these just destroy friendships :D
that is what mario party is for destroying friendships

Contra on NES = Making players be agressive on top since 1987 :D

"The game cheats!" was a favorite outburst from my friend.
"You take the bottom, I'll take the top." Come on, James! Give the people what they want to see!
My uncle recently passed away and watching this reminds me of him... He introduced me to such classic games and I remember playing this for hours with him as a kid, and that's the reason I always find this game to be easy with two players... RIP miss you 😭

Man this takes me back to playing the NES and SNES with my boys back in the day. All in, thinking only of the game. Great times.
Funny seeing Mike rage, this unscripted stuff is great.
He's just putting on a show

Thanks guys, I really like these extended play videos and look forward to more. Nice skills by the way!
This is like watching me and my friend more than 18 years ago. Damn the nostalgia....
Well, being aggressive on top would certainly fit in with Robert Mapplethorpe's art...
My hands are sweating, and I'm not even playing. That's how scary this game is, even watching it makes me nervous.

14:12 Mike legitimately got mad at James, Look at his face lol.
Have u ever cooped with your best friend? If u aren't mad at each other playing a game like contra, something is wrong!
***** Never said anything about it being wrong. I havent cooped with a friend on Contra, but i have with other games and I do rage at them sometimes.
Nothin' wrong with a little rage in co-op ey
***** Lol what is it with people, I never said it was wrong :/
SomeoneWitSkill i find mike to be either really entertaining or he makes me really uncomfortable. does anyone else get what i mean? he can be really off sometimes and its a little unsettling, yet at other times he can be down right hilarious.
More exciting than the damned Super Bowl.
Dominate from the top, James!
I'm gonna set 19:47 as my ringtone.
For when my boss calls.
Kevin Martinez lol
I'm gonna make it my alarm clock
Loved playing this game with my friends back in the day, required real team work and when you did beat the game with no codes it felt good.
Very entertaining video, at first I thought I was going to scan through the video and then found myself just sitting through it. Good stuff!
Heh, Mike's gaming is serious business.
I really like how you guys setup the screen. Nice editing idea
I'm always trying new things as far as fitting the images on the screen. In some of the new episodes coming up, I added a logo to the black area. Anyway, thanks for watching - Mike

elway41177 Yeah, they seriously should play Contra 3: The Alien Wars.
I don't know why they almost never talk about that game, because it is easily one of the best Contra games.
Who can forget the part when you ride a motorcycle on a highway and then grab a chopper and start jumping between flying missiles?
That part would make any action movie awesome.
+elway41177 I would love to see a Contra 3 in hard with these guys.
+Miguel Leon if they couldn't beat Contra they would not make it very far in Contra III
"fuck man your going to fast you have to slow down" lol
I want to see part 2 where they get to the end and beat it! They were so close!
Really enjoying James & Mike Mondays, you guys are awesome, I have to declare myself Mike´s fan, you are an awesome artist and a kick ass player.
Oh so Mike is one of THOSE gamers, raging about dying and then passing the blame to the other player.
"I need your spread to protect me from the logs"
-Mike Matei
"you gotta slow down, james" mike should remember that james' wife never says that
man, i could feel the pain mike was going through from my childhood, even though i didnt play shooters.... i did do other platformers, which also required jumping and watching the enemies at the same time
first the pain of AVGN, now of james and mike..... mike mostly
how many times i smashed the strong (compared to these days) controllers against the wall or on the ground (and still worked for 100%...... but i was a kid, so yeah)
This is (in my opinion) one of the best episodes of James & Mike Mondays. Mike getting angry is one of the most fun things about the show. (I don't mind James & John...but it's nowhere near as fun a show as James & Mike Mondays. I hope Mike comes back.)
There's no way anyone over the age of 25 can watch this video without wiping sweat from their hands.
Street fighter 2 and Pac Man cured me of excessive hand and body sweat while gaming about 98%
That frustration... so recognizable :).
Damn brings back some old memories.
These two have perfect teamwork.
Mike's passive aggressive anger outbursts with James' calm and relaxing mind.
YouGotPwnd imagine if mike was avgn :o
Dbzmad34222 Plot Twist for the avgn movie!
When you game with the same friends you had when you were a kid or teenager , there is some backstory teamwork for sure ^^
Mike was the AVGN all along lol
At 20:26 I broke into laughter as soon as Mike did. I caught that instantly lol.
Best part is 19:46 when Mike really bursts out))
+Alexander Povar and it makes me laugh every time I watch it)))
+Alexander Povar Even James's smiling when he does that))
Plot twist: AVGN is based off of Mike Matei
"Fucking logs" lol good play through fellas.
"Okay I'm gonna take these things out."
love that lower shelf behind them bending down xD
This is like an episode of Retro Game Lounge....depowered. ;) Rock on James and Mike.
I don't think anyone caught my self-serving reference -- so please, someone...look for "Retro Game Lounge" on youtube!!! :)
The Jimbo Channel NO!
Fun fact: The Japanese version of this game has little cutscenes in between missions. They don't really add all that much to the game but I thought it was pretty neat.
They also added moving scenery and landscapes. Such as windblown palm trees in the first stage. Snowstorms in stage 5. And also moving body parts in stage 8. And it's all used in a chip in the famicom called the VRC2 which the nes didn't have. I guess the cutscenes and background effects were not in nes version due to manufacturing costs.
Foxhoundcommandable
The chip was in the cartridge, not in the console itself. These chips are called "mappers" and all but the simplest NES games used one. And the Japanese version was the original console port, the US release was stripped down.
I'm not really sure why they did that. Could be they just wanted to make the game cheaper to produce. But also in Japan, anybody could make a Famicom cart, but in the US (and elsewhere) Nintendo tried to make sure that only they could produce NES carts. So Konami may have simply not had the option of using the VRC2 chip they'd used in the Japanese version of Contra.
I never really noticed the scenery stuff you mentioned, I'll have to find some time to play the game again and check it out.
Oh ok. Thanks for the tip.
"Now I'm dead! Now I'm dead! Now I'm dead I lost my spread!" Lol!
"you take the bottom, i take the top."
"yeah, i got spread"
"somebody has to get spread"
...
I can only imagine how hard Contra is 2 player and giving commentary! I like this video though because it brought me back to childhood. The anguish and controller-throwing and sweaty palms. Sure we have perfect-run Contra videos on RUclips but your video is the true trip down memory lane!
I've never watched a youtube video with so much intensity, thank you for that.
If this game was made today there would've been atleast three "amazing" plot twists with long "emotional" dialogue cutscenes in this video.
It would potentially also offer them to skip the level or become invincible for an unlimited duration because they had game over three times.
Also QTEs
Don' t forget that obnoxious hardcore achievement, which requires you to beat the game in two player mode WITH friendly fire on! ;-).
RandoMuTuberMaowlick
& don't forget that there would be DLC in the form of a palette swap for characters.
& maybe a dog that changes into a wolf?
Also it would be at least couple of hours long instead of 25 minutes.
Now... those Contras are pushin' up daisies from the flowers of Robert Maplethorpe...
Is that some kind of innuendo? I can never tell when Mapplethorpe's part of the equation.
I have always thought S meant Shotgun but I think Spread is the correct term for the weapon since it spreads lol
Spread, more than enough to kill anything that moves....
It DOES mean shotgun
Well, the main function of a (S)hotgun is to (S)pread projectiles, so I guess it makes sense either way...
Both of them have the same functional way to end everything that is on screen.
Even if it's on the manual or not, there is really just pure nerdgasm as the result of that little S.
kamb0_510 It is for Shotgun
Man, I feel some adrenaline only by watching this, it almost feels like I'm actually playing the game.
That's some cool gameplay to watch, you two are strategic but also have fun, it's nice to watch.

9 years and not even a like. Ouch Buddy. You still watch ??
I think the R increases the speed of your shots, and you can pair it with any weapon. Grab an S, and then an R, and you're all set.
Mike was dead f-ing serious in this video lol.
they don't make games like these anymore. 1 word: INTENSE
last of us
Hotline Miami
I remember playing this sooo much back then! And we actually did the coop 3 lives thing!
I could repeat Mike's laughter at 20:28 and never get tired of it.
so coordinated. nothing like my childhood friends.
if only, that would have been much more fun
Let me be more aggressive on the top!
I'd be more aggressive on top hahahahahahahaha
You guys are funny! Watching this bought tears to my eyes, me and my lil brother used to play a lot and we both are badass players (Brags like a boss) ^_^. Thanks for re-kindling the Contra memories!
