Bootsy is a fucking trooper. He never raged while playing this game. Who the hell would start from the begining and be calm as he was?
people who can do these type of games typically don't rage, i've never seen a speed runner who rages, they understand the mindset and are super meticulous
this is how people can beat "getting over it" but also speed runners can beat it
Me! I'm a superior gamer.
In Korea, we have places called "PC bahngs" which are rooms filled with side-by-side computers loaded with every popular game imaginable. That way, friends CAN hang out in the same room while playing online!
North or south
@@dragonempress8367 nice joke
@@kamulecPL12 So north it is.
That's dope
in us we call it internet cafe, but everyone has cell phone now, so they are rare to see
I miss these days when the old crew would just played games for fun ever now and then. Take me back to these days! Or farther lol.
It's because Mike isn't around as much as he used to be
These days will never come back
Hard to believe it's been almost 10 years..!
James got rid of all friends that were not massively overweight to make himself look better in comparison 😂 j/k
He’s gonna take you back to the past
That 3D rotating cylinder on the last level is amazing. I had no idea NES could do that.
Granted, it's just an optical illusion, but its so smooth. I didn't plan on watching this whole video but here I am at minute 56. Great LP, great game.
Morphcat does an amazing video showing off the real possible power of the NES if you're interested :)
Bootsy is a fucking machine! Can only imagine how good he is when on his own and giving it his full concentration! Also so glad to hear Battletoads is coming back Fuck Yeah!!!
Bootsy is a goddamn beast
After numerous psychotic breakdowns I finally beat this game last year. One of the hardest games ever!
Congrats
This game terrifies me.
What's harder though? This? Or Ecco the Dolphin? I'd Only say Ecco because I grew up on Ecco the dolphin. That was My hard game.
@@growlie2676this is even harder
20:30 James' face is like: " Holy shit, I'm so glad I never made it through the 2nd stage, so I didn't have to deal with even harder shit, like this."
I've made into the snake pit phase when I was 11 to 12. I was traumatized for life.
JorgeAraujo97 Stunt on em Georgie Boyyy!!!!
Bootsy is such a badass!
I'm beginning to suspect this game is actually a secret Jedi training tool.
This game literally has only 2 "random" moments in it. The mines in Stage 5 and the fireballs in Stage 7. The rest can just be memorized. Even the fish in stage 9 have a pattern if you play the same way every time.
Shhhhh... We don't talk about that outloud
Elyseon With all the rage induced by this game, I'd say a secret Sith training tool.
Hmmmm.. Right you maybe! Play you must!
Then I must be a Jedi master because I beat this impossible monstrosity when I was like 12 years old!
I still come back to rewatch these videos, so chilled.
I love how James is the angry nerd but in real life seems like the coolest most legit guy.
Right? He'd be the most awesomest guy to hang out with
AVGN is his alter ego, like Dr. Tarufetti to DiRizio
That's because he lets out all his anger in the nerd videos, so he has no anger left in him IRL.
о_о
A lot of people responded to my comments on their pictures with him saying he's one of the nicest guys they've ever met. I hope to meet him myself someday.
This is definitely my favourite episode of James & Mike Mondays.
This is pretty classic. Have to pick up another copy of Battletoads now and see if I can get as far as I could when I was a kid.
This is classic 80's gaming: one guy plays and the other two just watch in awe. Thank you for the memories!
People around my age (38) don't have friends to get together (in person), and play games (especially retro games), cause most ppl my age don't have lifelong friends from childhood. I played tons of games in my youth with friends, but one way or another you move on from them unfortunately, and to find new ppl to get together and play nes games is very, very hard. I'm sure James and Mike's friendship goes back to childhood.
The reason everything is online multiplayer these days is because nobody has friends anymore. Or maybe that's just me...
@D G yea but it would be awesome to have friends come ovet your place and just play in the same room, or maybe with a SO or your kids tho.
@D G yea me too. Id prefer to play with friends in the couch or with my family, it is one thousands times better. Remember the days of mario kart or mario party with friends on the 64? It was a BLAST. I guess you dont play games not because your AGE, but because man we have no time for anything.
I am 26, and have given up gaming because simply I have other priorities, i have no kids tho neither. But work/gym/social/self improvement eats all my time. Sucks to be an adult.
No, it's true, no one has friends anymore LOL
If you could play local co-op, you only have to buy one console/disc. If it's online multiplayer only, everyone has to buy a separate copy
What's weird is that games with the option of offline multiplayer tend to have higher sales, so there is probably some weird secret reason for it being removed.
I would've liked to see a two player run.
I've never seen anyone beat the Turbo Tunnel on co-op.
***** Someday (hopefully) Bootsy and I will attempt to beat the entire game together.
- Mike
***** I have a 2 player upload of the entire game no warps on my channel.
Cinemassacre oh I can't wait to see that. Oh and best of luck bootsy on your new channel!
ford frenzy Bootsy will be on this channel. The Cinemassacre channel.
- Mike
***** bootsy can probably beat the whole game in co-op mode without a second player
give that guy a fucking medal.
I knew this game was hard but holy sh*t never realized how hardcore it was
I could watch you guys play retro titles forever.
I just watched the whole episode, that was intense! Bravo Bootsy!
the bootsy shows are the best. dem skillz!
This may be my favorite James and Mike episode.
Suh Taesuk same here ^_^
Suh Taesuk Same here.
It's rare to find friends like that that still share the same interest in video games I had friends fall out with each other for not returning cartridges
Super calm at every moment.
I always forget that Battletoads is a NES game because it just looks way too good for that era. Makes sense considering it was made just a few months before the release of the SNES.
Bootsy fuck yeah!!!
Bootsy Beats is gonna be awesome cant wait
i have never seen such patience and self control I'd break controls in under 5min, nice job...
i miss this
I wish the AVGN can do Battletoads Revisited Episode:
*Battletoads (NES) - Revisited
*Battletoads (Game Boy)
*Battletoads in Ragnarok's World
*Battletoads in Battlemaniacs
*Battletoads & Double Dragon
*Battletoads Arcade (?)
Atarster Yeah! I loved all of those games. I know for sure the original and Arcade will be in Rare Replay coming out next month. I really wish M$ would include all of it but there are tons of old Rare titles so probably not. Battletoads and Double Dragon was my go to game on SNES back in the day, always playing it.
Atarster The arcade was fun, despite how hard it was.
I was able to play it by an emulator, totally worth it. =D
Atarster *Battletoads (XBOX ONE & A GAMESTOP EXCLUSIVE)
Atarster That would be great! I feel like he didn't really get a chance to talk about Battletoads fully, since it was mainly just two player focused.
*****
Man those arcades. I still want to finish the Last Escape 4D, only at Dave & Busters. lol
this is a great sit and drink some beers type of show/episode. sometimes i'll just hold a controller in my hands for more immersion.
Damn
Hey whatever works works
Bootsy is in rare form here! Ice water in his veins and beating a game I used to dream of beating.
Bootsy is so laid back and cool. All three of these guys are awesome.
Pretty fun game! You can still finish the game with two players if you can get to stage 11 with any continues remaining. Let player two game over but *not* continue, so you can beat stage 11 with one player, and then player two can press start during the blue map screen afterward and it'll use up a continue to join back in for stage 12. Hope that helps!
James check out Maximo for the ps2, I think it may have been inspired by Ghouls n Ghosts you played a while back, you may even want to do it for a James and Mike Mondays episode if you wish. Thanks
HarryDeHamster James or Mike gotta see this comment !
HarryDeHamster You are correct, it is inspired by Ghouls and Ghosts. It is also by Capcom.
HarryDeHamster Maximo for the ps2 was so badass and hard as F#%& at times. I did beat it and it was worth all the rage moments I had playing it.
Is the second one good? I only beat Maximo Ghosts to glory
HarryDeHamster I always thought that Maximo was indeed the spiritual successor of GnG. N yes i definitely wanna see James n Mike play it ^^
..I think all that Nintendo Tape, and "board" having been slang back in the day was more a PA thing because I am the same age roughly as James and Mike and NO one around me in MN ever said that stuff. It was always cartridge and level
Colt Gustafson same in Texas
Lived in Pa (suburbs of philly) my whole life and never called them tapes. I called them games and/or carts. I did use both board and level.
Same in Texas and Chicago (grew up both places) it was stage or level and cartridge or just "game"
My mom and dad would say tape instead of cartridges.
I lived in the southeast. Everyone called them cartridges or games. Absolutely nobody said "tapes" or "game paks".
Bootsy is a jedi master
I never heard anyone say Nintendo tape BUT my friends and I said we were going to play Nintendo even if we were going to play Sega.
Reviewflipflop We just said Nintendo game BTW.
Simpler times
Awesome video! I love it when you guys beat a game start to finish, especially watching Bootsy's play throughs, the guy is a BEAST.
I agree, I have such fond memories of bringing my memory card over to my friends house to show them what I unlocked or whatever, now they want you to bring your system and your tv.
I think local multiplayer is one my favorite things on gaming. It’s so fun to play with your friends with them next to you. The reactions and there seems to be a kinder reaction when your friends are actually there and not behind a screen.
Amazing idea of bootsey having a series, its well needed! :D
you guys need to play Boogerman on Genesis!
I love that James and Mike took pictures with the Ninja Gaiden end screen. Imagine if a game that came out nowadays was that hard.
In my country we were calling "Nintendo cassettes".
I'm my country too
There were those chinese copies in my country (Georgia) and Russia too. They had different names: Dendy, Subor, ... but not Nintendo. They looked like Japanese Famicom and their joysticks had four buttons on the right side instead of two. The top ones were turbo buttons. If you had original Nintendo you would have to buy the Turbo controller separately.
Also in mexico! Cassettes de Nintendo.
and revelation is relavation
same here in Norway.
Nes cassettes og just nes games :P
I finally beat the game tonight without using any warps or continues. It took me nearly a year and a half of playing the game regularly, but I finally did it! On my last life too. It is an awesome feeling to beat the game in its entirety, knowing that there are so few who have done it.
3:22 In case anyone wants to know, this is a perfect example of what 2nd Person View looks like in a video game. (Controlling your character, but in the POV of another character)
Another of my all time favorite games That music going down the hole was stuck in my head for years. I like the warp in the surfing level.
Well, that's probably the only way I'll ever get to see this game from beginning to end, since I have such a hard time playing it every time! Congrats Bootsy!
Bootsy, is there any game you can't beat? You're a goddamn machine!
The man is a PRO. Amazing skills!
The obstacle course at the end of Double Dare
I
Why have I never heard: "Guess and Check" in relation to "Trial and Error" which I've heard/used forever. Great phrase to describe the process.
Hot damn! That rotating tower level has to be the most graphically impressive effect I've ever seen on an NES.
There are a few games that still allow local co-op, Especially Nintendo games. I love and miss my local co-op more and more each year.
Beyond Paradise Gaming And yet people trash Nintendo for no good reason. Sad.
I wish people could just be happy and enjoy games and not be so worried about which company they support. I get all consoles and Play Pc. I love gaming. wow side step in my comment
Battletoads one of my classic favorite games 🎮 back in the day 👍👍👍👍👍
Top 10 hardest Battletoads levels! That brought on a genuine laugh fit
holy hell! i just watched the video of you and mike going thru the turbo tunnle. until seeing that, ive never seen or heard of such a thing. you guys should be given an award for doing the impossible. 😁
This is the James I know. I hope he comes back. But life is different now.
James’s face at 20:31 😂
This game kicked my head in when I was a young'n
So much and sooooo tense!!! :-O Great stuff you guys. I can't believe how much of a vengeance Bootsy had on his 2nd go around
Watching this video relieved a lot of f-bombs I dropped in the summer of 1991.
More Bootsy in these Monday videos.
Fun fact, you can actually play as the other battletoad in single-player. By plugging the controller into the second port and waiting through the intro, you’re able to start the game. I have no idea if the clinger winger glitch is still active
I never thought that this game was that long and difficult. This video sums it up perfectly.
You did Great Beating Battletoads! Bucky o hare is another Hard game! you should play that game next on James & Mike Mondays.
I always found Bucky O'Hare to be amongst the easier games in the NES, at least, it was way easier than Battletoads.
You can get almost infinite lives in stage 2. You have to kill a crow then keep juggling it with hits with the sword and not let it fall off screen. Each hit gives more and more points until you start getting 1ups instead.
I've watched this video at least a dozen times (and sometimes put it on as white noise behind whatever I'm working on). It's just a great video.
The surf level reminds me a lot of Cobra Triangle. Sure enough Rare was behind that title as well, never knew it until now.
also you should play crash bandicoot on james and mike mondays sometime
***** if you dont have it i could let you download it off my account on ps3
kk
Karikadiquidika!
+Meavy Hetal yes I agree, I hate people who buy PS1 and PS2 games from the PSN store. It's called Amazon, Ebay and Craigslist.
One of the greatest games on NES, takes skill for sure
Great to have a Bootsy featured episode, something a lot of people have been wanting for a long time (and of course, enjoyed the Slicer Surfe episode too). Thanks, Bootsy, for taking time to do this sorta thing! It's a lot of fun to see you play these games with such skill and perseverance.
Really looking forward to Bootsy Beats. Just awesome! Also, a great episode of feel-goodery couch co-op. Cheers, gents!
This didn't age well :/
@@ELEKTROSKANSEN you gotta give me the rundown on what's going on with these guys lately. Been a while lol
Used to love watching these guys play games!
Amazing, great to finally see what the rest of the game looks like!
I'd like to see them play Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 all the way through
Tube Race and the Flyin' King are my Turbo Tunnel
The damn water lvl with the submarine thing..... snes hell.... lol
"oh, so this is the hard part?"
I can so relate
The most impressive thing about this game is that there are no typos on the final message when you beat it. Truly a rare thing in the NES era!
Probs cause it was made by a British games developer! (Rare, who would go on to make goldeneye 64, Banjo Kazooie and conkers bad fur day amongst others!)
This might just be my favourite James & Mike Mondays video :D
That last level really reminds me of Nebulus.
Remake Title
"Battletoads: Kiss your Friendships goodbye"
I would say that "Turbo Tunnel 3" is Surf City, where you ride on a surfing board over a bunch of rapids.
...obviously assuming that "Turbo Tunnel 3" means "the Turbo Tunnel that I personally think of instead of Clinger Winger", without the actual stage order taken into account.
OMG! I was so excited to see You beat the turbo tunnel. I've never beaten that stage. But if I ever get that game, I'm going to give a try. You've inspired me. Thanks James and Mike for doing all theses videos. You guys Rock!!!!!!!
I don't think there's a game Bootsy can't beat! He's a legend thats what he is!
I'm getting Rare Replay even though don't own an Xbone, so that in the future when I get an Xbone for cheap, I'll be able to enjoy my favourite classics, even though I own them in their original format already. It's Rare, I have to support them (I also supported the old Rare members with Yooka-Laylee).
Benobot99 Same Here.
TheTruth4k You'll love Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie as well. Perfect Dark is still my favourite game of all time, so trying it with 2 analog sticks will be interesting (even though I know it's on the Xbox Live Marketplace already).
MikeHoopla I like supporting the launch sales of games (it helps show the developer that there's interest in their product), and it's only going to be $30 + tax, so it's not a big deal.
Plus a $10 dollar gift card if you pre-ordered off microsoft's website.....What? It's a good deal.
Who put you on the planet?? UGH!!
long time for me and my bro to beat this,,,, it took years.. long time .. thank you guys
The farthest I've ever gotten in all my years of playing is the exclamation points section in the turbo tunnel. I fall thru the platforms too, and to think this is early on there are like fifteen more levels after that? That's insane.
I was born in '82. I never called a Nintendo cartridge a "Nintendo tape". And I've never called the levels a board. I either called it a level or a stage.
I was born in 81. My friends and i all called them tapes.
Depends on the region. We call soft drinks here pop but talking to some friends from down south they had no idea what I was talking about.
+Chris Ward I was born in 01, long after NES, and my friends and I just called them "Games"
Yeah, I don't remember calling them tapes either. I seem to remember them always being cartridges, but that could be false memory all these years later
THIS IS THE BEST ACTION ADVENTURE GAME ON THE NES...I LOVE ALL OF THEM FOR THE NES,AND ON A BIG FLAT SCREEN TV TOO
What about river city ransom man?
This guy is so calm I would be cursing and yelling the whole fucking way. He's good!!
Hearing them talk about "nintendo tapes" brought on a flood of memories of renting nes/snes games back in the day. I'm from Ireland and we said that here too. Ah, good times.
Incredible skills.
My hands were so clammy watching this
I was obsessed with this game as a kid. I did beat it twice long ago. I'll have to hook my NES back up and play again! I still have all my games.
You guys should do more of this video i love them
I'm not playing the game but whenever they mess up I'm yelling "aw fuck!" Haha
21:00 James' face haha
Watching someone zip through this game drives me nuts. As a kid I eventually felt like I was wrestling a juggernaut every time I popped it in. It is so much BIGGER in my memory. I can't believe there are only three screens in the snake level.
Hey James! I really want to thank you for your videos, they lighten up Mondays around my place, lemme tell you that! I'm from Colombia and even though I knew about the channel through the nerd videos I also really enjoy the movie reviews you have in the website. Anyway thanks and keep up the good work.
Bootsy is a fucking badass
James, I totally agree with you that this game is the hardest game I've ever played, (ESPECIALLY the ninja Gaiden games!)
at least the Genesis version of battletoads was slightly dumbed down but they took out the story in that one, which sucks
You guys are my fucking heroes for making this video. God damn, I spent months trying to best this fucking game as a kid and it just wrecked me.
This is the best James and Mike Mondays.
