this is what every time I have an entire library of something to choose from. Games, movie, music, etc. Too many choices is almost a bad thing. You're tempted to keep.searching for the perfect one. But there's always too many crappy choices. You engage for 5 minutes and move on. You never get invested. Even if you stumb!e on something good, it's like you're numb to everything by then so you can't even tell. It's hard to give anything a chance long enough to become really engaged. At first it's so awesome to have access.to everything but you really have to comb through it and be patient. When we were young and we only had access to a few games at a time, we came to even enjoy the bad ones. We had no choice so eventually we adapted to the crapyness. Now we are all so.spoiled.
That is so true. Xbox gives away 3 free games a month plus I can pretty much buy a game anytime I want, within reason. I needed that when I was a kid, I'll think, but then i think it might have ruined video games for me then
That happens with the Xbox Game Pass...so many games that I find myself starting and playing games for a little bit and then just jumping to another game...I never complete or stay on a game for long...So you’re right that too many games at once is not necessarily a good thing.
Yeah, all they talk about on James and Mike Mondays is shit. There are also plenty of shit jokes, and “actual” (special effect) shitting and fart humor in AVGN episodes. Maybe Mike’s girl was nearby, so he was trying to act classy lol. (I’m kidding, of course, but that was definitely hypocritical of him)
I'm late on here but this comment still stands the test of time. Now people could at least look up manuals online before playing games. I remember 2009 when some tried Mega Man 1 for the first time and not knowing about the Magnet Beam, an item that gets mentioned in the manual. It was painful to watch and listen.
TheBradRules Lol that’s right. I get the two confused. 3 Ninjas is with the Home Improvement kid. They were both popular and I don’t see why mike doesn’t know it.
The Genesis has a lot of really low quality games. They had some great ones too but I feel like the bad games on Sega were worse than the bad games on Snes.
@Flashing colors spoken like a true Snes fanboy...you make them all so proud. The first rule to know about the Genesis library...is to focus primarily on Japanese developed games (same is true for Snes). Many western developed games sound, look and play mediocre, and don't represent the quality of the hardware. It's abundantly obvious that the very best Gen and Snes games both from a game design and technical standpoint were from Japan...SoRage 2, Musha, Ristar, Alien Soldier, Rocket Knight Adv, Shinobi, MMX, Hagane, Super M, Ninja Warriors, Contra 3 and Hard Corps, Castlevania IV and Bloodlines, Lttp and Beyond Oasis, Mario & Sonic etc. The Snes despite being 2 yrs newer, isn't all-around superior to the Genesis. Other than its large color palette, color transparencies, mode 7 background rotation and scaling, the Gen is more powerful where it really matters...moving around and animating alot of sprites in a 2D environment, and at a wider screen resolution 320 pixels versus Snes 256. "In between 8 and 16-bit eras"...man that is so ridiculous. I guess you forgot how pathetic the Snes was at launch, with massive frequent slowdown and poor animation in nearly every game like Gradius 3, Super R Type and Castlevania IV. While the Gen was running Thunder Force 3, Revenge of Shinobi, Fire Shark etc like warm butter. They're both amazing in their own ways, and both possess many terrible games, let's leave it at that.
Mike gets triggered by toilet humor in a video game and acts like he’s above it, meanwhile AVGN literally plasters games to the ceiling with shit..... alright buddy.
Chris R Yes! Thank you! I remember mike saying it before but I forgot. Thank you, here are all the internet cookies for you! 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 🥛 🥛
I'm completely shocked by Mike never having played M.U.S.H.A. I understand the game is rare but bruh...yall could have played it on emulation 2 decades ago and it was totally playable and accurate :D
Boogerman is great imo as a child who doesnt like some potty humour and the bosses were hard, also the end credits you could control boogerman i think does any one remember this?
You have not witnessed the full, untapped power of the Sega Genesis until you play Barney Hide and Seek. Mike even had to turn it off because he couldn't handle such power.
Did he really just ask if Unnecessary Roughness was a wrestling game? And then turned it off because why? The logo of a boxer? It’s called Unnecessary Roughness. Football game. Lol.
When you first started doing videos with James I didn't like you that much. Since then you've grown on me and have become my favorite streamer. Dude... Cinemassacre wouldnt be shit without you. The newest AVGN episode about immortal was goddamn terrible. More and more I find myself coming to watch your content and passing over James stuff. Not a fan of the movie discussion videos either. Kinda tired of hearing James say "yeah" every 20 seconds
Okay, I think I figured out why I NEVER seem to catch you live! You stream only on Twitch and then upload these to RUclips, correct? Just followed on Twitch, so I hope I can catch your next stream, Mike. 👍🏻
That's 3 ninjas kickback, there was high noon at mega mountain, knuckle up, and another. Btw that song was the exact rendention of the song in the movie.
I love how Mike knocks Boogerman for being lame 90s grossout humor for "the lowest common demoninator" and not even 20 mins mins later he's making Pocahontas repeatedly squat while he makes farting and urinating sounds.
Yoooooo mike been watching all your videos for years with James and I never was a sub!! I thought I was!! Good stuff man always love watching your vids sometimes I watch other guys play through games and it’s so hard but you always hit the games good !! Keep up the good work
@Ben DC4L Ya, they even put it on the Japanese Genesis Mini (as it's a classic, over there)...i guess it was just so hard, it never really caught on that much in North America? Easily my fav Genesis game!
@@masterlee1988 Aw dude it's SO good...it's a run and gun shooter, but there's also some platforming elements for some levels, and then some levels have zero gravity...there's tons of replay value, as you can customize your weapons/equipment loadout....awesome 80s metal inspired music (with thumping realistic sounding bass guitar riffs)...the Robotech inspired art theme...there's just so much about this game to love! PS, you can get unlimited continues (you'll need em lol) by pressing start on controller 2 in the 'option' screen...also, i recommend mode B aiming (which makes it much easier to strafe).
and the first game you are playing is 3 ninjas wow i love them movies. yes there is 3. 3 nijas movie. the one you are playing is where they go to japan. then the 2nd one is where the kids are home alone and they have people try to kidnap them and the 3rd one is where this girl's father needed saving there indians.
this is what every time I have an entire library of something to choose from. Games, movie, music, etc. Too many choices is almost a bad thing. You're tempted to keep.searching for the perfect one.

Yeah, it's best to limit the games as well for the ones you really want to play on an Everdrive.
That is so true. Xbox gives away 3 free games a month plus I can pretty much buy a game anytime I want, within reason. I needed that when I was a kid, I'll think, but then i think it might have ruined video games for me then
That happens with the Xbox Game Pass...so many games that I find myself starting and playing games for a little bit and then just jumping to another game...I never complete or stay on a game for long...So you’re right that too many games at once is not necessarily a good thing.
Very true!
Shame you passed off Tiny Toons Adventure Buster's Hidden Treasure 48:04 as a Sonic clone. Incredible game
yeah, great platform and not a Sonic Clone
@jcdenton956 I wasn't ironic , it's not a clone and it's a great game every konami game of the 16 bit era was almost great
Definately not a sonic clone its actually awesome and waaaay harder than sonic 😂😂
He gave it like 20 seconds of play. Unreal.
@@mummymonSnatcher was amazing too bad its price now is astronomical and hard to find
Wait, so you say you can’t stand fart humor? Have you ever watched an episode of AVGN or James & Mike Mondays?
I think he’s entertaining. I’m a bit of a degenerate and will always laugh at poop jokes. Mike should just admit, own up to it and embrace it.
Disses Boogerman for it’s potty humor but then makes peeing noises when Pocahontas squats lol
Boogerman appeals to the lowest common denominator? You mean like a pickle made out of human feces would?
Yeah, all they talk about on James and Mike Mondays is shit. There are also plenty of shit jokes, and “actual” (special effect) shitting and fart humor in AVGN episodes. Maybe Mike’s girl was nearby, so he was trying to act classy lol. (I’m kidding, of course, but that was definitely hypocritical of him)
@@AlienFrequency classy? you meam assy lol
Shit pickle is funnier and less disgusting than Boogerman. I can't stand that game. Or anyone that can. xD
For people who created "Shit Pickle", your reaction to Boogerman is a bit surprising.
Shit pickle was a stupid character they created in college and they know it is stupid. lol
AKA "The episode where Mike demonstrates exactly why games came with instruction manuals in the 90s"
I'm late on here but this comment still stands the test of time. Now people could at least look up manuals online before playing games. I remember 2009 when some tried Mega Man 1 for the first time and not knowing about the Magnet Beam, an item that gets mentioned in the manual. It was painful to watch and listen.
"Isn't there a movie 3 Ninjas?" My heart is broken, Mike.....
I know God damn. Hes in that age group too.
TheBradRules he knows damn well it’s a movie, even james has done a rental review of it.
@@jamesc8259 that was Surf Ninjas. 3 Ninjas was way better and less cheesy.
He obviously knows the movie. I'm not sure why he's acting like he's above the cinema classic 3 Ninjas. It was Karate Kid with a Home Alone attitude.
TheBradRules Lol that’s right. I get the two confused. 3 Ninjas is with the Home Improvement kid. They were both popular and I don’t see why mike doesn’t know it.
You didn't give thunder force 3 enough time it's just as good as lightening force..Also Ranger X it is a very good game
"Unnecessary roughness...must be a wrestling game..." 🤣🤣🤣
Are we sure James is the nerd?
Mike hates Boogerman.because of the lowbrow humor.
So... Does Mike Matei also hate Mike Matei? 🤔
Maybe
**lights tobacco pipe and raises eyebrow** i concur
Yes, obviously. I actually played this game on my own afterwards. I still didn't really like it very much. It has some nice animation though.
Mike you have approximately zero patience lol
"Appeals to the lowest common demonstrator" from the guy who's career is based on shit jokes
the miyagi in 3 ninjas was Victor Wong from Tremors and Big Trouble In Little China.
Mike: this isnt zelda and it sucks.
d gam seriously, pissed me off with the very first game. Three Ninjas looked decent.
He could be a little less spazzy at times

Wtf was that Tiny Toons review? Just because his legs spin when he runs fast doesn't mean it's a Sonic clone.
Never owned tiny tunes but I was a Sega channel subscriber. The mini games were so fun. The soccer was my favorite. Remember Sega channel?
Stop moaning about controls and games being shit if you've never played them or learned the controls or read the instructions.

How do you pass on General Chaos? What's wrong with you?
Aladdin for the Sega Genesis was a true classic, but damn is it hard!
Hop into the bugs suit and do a loony toons game marathon
The phantasy star games are good on genesis.
TPB🤘

alf YOU DESTROYED WILLIE TANNERS LIFE YOU CAT EATING BASTARD!
Mike you got to do a Crusader of Centy stream. Maybe you already have, I'm still working my way through the catalog.
I probably would someday. I havent yet. Right now im playing Nightmare of Dragua.
Where do i get these
Wings of Wor is amazing. Challenging, but worth a play through! Bosses are amazing.
The miyagi guy looks like the dude who sells Gizmo in Gremlins 🙊
Anyone else find it ironic the man whos youtube career is based on toilet humor, made fun of Boogerman because of toilet humor?
Tiny toon is not Sonic clone at all! Its a great game.
I'm completely shocked by Mike never having played M.U.S.H.A. I understand the game is rare but bruh...yall could have played it on emulation 2 decades ago and it was totally playable and accurate :D
Revolutionary X? Watching bread bake was more exciting than that game.
The arcade version is fun, but the home ports are seriously nerfed
Jimmy Foppiano baking bread is awesome
@@DerekBarns It was cool in the arcades!
Dude boogermans a CLASSIC im deeply offended, sir.
Albert G Yup was popular too, still great
General Chaos is a great game once you figure out how to play it.
This is based on the sequel, man. They weren’t great movies, but they were fairly popular in the early to mid-‘90s.
These try out videos are always great content. Always find a few games that I've never heard of or seen before. Keep up the amazing work as always 👍🏼
Pocahontas is actually really fun, if you take the time to learn it. It's a puzzle game like Out of This World or Flashback.
Boogerman is great imo as a child who doesnt like some potty humour and the bosses were hard, also the end credits you could control boogerman i think does any one remember this?
Gargoyles is one of the best Genesis games and is on Disney + but I i imagine you know this by now.
So harsh on boogerman:( most of us were l.c.d. when we were 8(ish) ... just saying. Love u man keep being honest
Decap attack! YES! that game is so good. Used to have it for the genesis. I Used to play it close to halloween as a kid every year. 😁👍
I recently finished it. I really liked it. One of my favorite platformers.
1:26:20 LOL!!!! To Anybody That Watches Dashie This Game Is Where He Got That Barney Sprite From
Pocahontas? More like poca-hot-ass
1:00:36 "Sounds like a porn movie"

Just sold some of my Sega games today: Demolition Man, Cagey Cpaers. Had to keep Superman. Haha.

The Ps1 port of Revolution X is the best port. Closest port to the arcade version
Yep, that is true, besides some load times it's nearly close to the arcade version.
your reaction on Barney's game is priceless XD

Hate me but i like Beyond Oasis more than Zelda.
Can’t wait for the sega mega drive mini release.
( 3 hours 33 minutes ) MIKE MIKE MIKE what is the FIRST game to have bats?
Warlock looked interesting like one of those games Mike would grow into like Legendary Axe.
3 Ninjas was a great movie, when it came out and I was 9
No Joke!
King Salmon: The Big Catch.
Fun fishing game with rad music!
I like how Mike acts like he didn't find toilet humor funny back when Boogerman came out
mike keep it up wish i could catch live steams know this is late covid-19 letting me catch up
wow this is hard to watch, but not because of this classic games ...

I still need to play that game.
Did you ever go back to play ultimate qix again? That looks like a lot of fun!
3:55:45 Sounds like you're singing a Slipknot song. 😂

Mike should probably do that.
Still nothing
