Always liked TMNT III the most out of the NES trilogy. Never did beat the whole thing, though. Also thought it was pretty cool to have Mike play simultaneously, good stuff.
Some of James's expressions when Doug is sat next to him nigh on screaming and basically cutting him off every few seconds lol, James internally like " this is terrible" help! Just James & Mike for me please in future, legendary duo IMO.
The Konami Code works on this one, too. It opens up a level select and I think the option to have more lives. Used to use it a lot as a makeshift 'continue' option, since the game doesn't have passwords or anything.
When you're down to one block of health you can spam your special move without taking more damage. I use to use that on bosses when my health was all the way down.
Yeah, I remember surviving on that for a long time. Strange thing is I played version of this game where Raphael had like 3 times weaker special move, and bosses also was much harder than in us version. My favourite move was just throwing enemy over. One of my favourites NES games!
This was easily my favorite NES game growing up. Played this game for hours with my best friend using the Game Genie so we could actually finish the game.
For the record: this was probably filmed back to back with the last James & Mike Monday. James had to drive to Doug's house for the TMNT 2014 review, and they live 12 hours away from each other (by car). So yeah, it makes sense that Mike isn't there to join them on the couch.
Couldn't afford a SNES when it came out so Ninja Turtles 3 was my jAM. Still my favorite NES turtles game by far. It had everything, Bebop, Rocksteady, Slash, Groundchuck, Dirtbag, Tokka, Rahzar, Krang, Shredder AND Super Shredder!
@PHILL SHIVELY Out of the Shadows wasn't a bad game. The combat system could definitely use some improvement though. Turtles in Time remains my all-time favorite Turtle game.
The surf riding to catch up to the submarine with the synchronized foot soldiers jumping out of the water, the prelude without music to the sewers filling up before the Leatherhead boss fight, the high speed elevator climb as if it was a Gunstar Heroes level, the fight against Tokka in front of the giant electrified neon sign, and the conveyor belt with the lasers in one of the last levels... This game is full of memorable moments
Tix Mctivy no way dewd! thats totally rad. think theres also a lives and difficulty option there too dewds. thank god for gamepro for getting that info out there..
you made me laugh lol. Well they look huge in the profile pic. some of the rare kind to possess lol. She is a retro gamer which a plus to the boobs :3 ;)
I'm a fan of Doug/The Nostalgia Critic, but this video makes me appreciate James and Mike's chemistry when playing games all the more. It makes sense that they share the screen so well after being friends for so long, but it's something usually taken for granted. Another great upload, keep up the great work. /The world needs more "Make me Draw" vids, Mike. Those are awesome.
I love this game...but I remember most of my friends hated it and bashed it for being too similar to Turtles II. Even the two critics they had reviewing games in Nintendo Power at the time of this game's release, bashed the crap out of it.
RetroGamerAaron bashing seems violent. hard on the hands. ill piss on things. base ball bats are good for bashing too. remember the guy who bashed watermelons. waste of water melon. but he had a cool porn stash, so it was ok.
RetroGamerAaron I think it just came out too late in the console cycle. If I remember correctly, there was a cross platform advertising campaign that advertised this game, the genesis game, and the snes game all at the same time. On hand it makes sense. Every gamer has their turtles game, and it saves ad cost. But it had the side effect of making this game look like the worst option and blatantly inferior to the other games that were out on every other console.
For my birthday one year, my parents took me and a bunch of my classmates to see TMNT 2 in the theater. We then went to a roller rink/arcade/pizza place. My aunt dressed in a Michelangelo costume (one of those promotional costumes they used at super market grand openings and things). Each kid got a Polaroid taken with the turtle. Awesome party and memory.
A few tips for playin this game: 1. The special attack makes you take damage but if you're already low health it cant damage you anymore so you should spam it then(you're invincible during your special attack. 2.You wanna be Rafael, he has the best special attack and it travels a decent distance pretty fast). 3. on the foot soldiers spam the throw attack, it one shots them and knocks away any enemies that are behind you. 4. In one of the versions (I'm not sure if it was the US or EU) spaming the jump kick is a decent strategy but in the other the enemies have better AI and jump kicks are basically suicide.
5) Punch in the "Konami" code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, A, B) at the title screen then select your number of players with the select button and press start to open the OPTIONS menu. You can change the difficulty level to easy and increase your number of lives. On easy mode, every enemy takes fewer hits to kill. Foot Soldiers become one hit with a standard attack!
So awesome to see TMNT 3: The Manhattan Project played by James and Mike, Doug being in on it too was just the cherry on top. This was game was awesome. Got it on Christmas way back when and I still love it despite the limitations. Love the boss fights and the animations. The music is still pretty good too. Would not mind seeing a release on the Virtual Console.
Will never forget the most intense gaming memory ever. We were playing two players. Last life, last continue, at the last Shredder. The person I was playing with died and I was at 1 health. Shredder was very nearly dead and blinking like mad and I was 1 pixel away from his kick distance. He kept repeatedly kicking at me and I was scared to move because I knew if I made the wrong move, I was dead and game over (I also believe it was the final day of our rental). I don't even remember how I got out of that situation, but somehow I finished him off.
I was telling someone the other day that I had a Turtles beat-em-up on the NES years ago and couldn't for the life of me remember the name - this was it. Thanks!
Cinemassacre I was really hoping to see a beat em up for that series, that and street sharks. Ah I miss those times Anamorphic characters were super popular concepts.
Tyler Holland I feel like Doug should one day go over all those shows that tried to cash in on the ninja turtles craze like the aforementioned Cowboys of Moo Mesa, Biker Mice From Mars, Street Sharks, etc. James already did do the Cheetah Men if that counts.
Cowboys of Moo Mesa was actually created by one of the artists from the Ninja Turtle comic book by Mirage Studios, Ryan Brown. Thus the similarity in art work and style. There are even a couple of turtle comics featuring a Turtle/Moo Mesa team-up.(Tales of TMNT V.2 #32&52) They even cameo in the the Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward cartoon Ep. 3 "Home Invasion". Brown also created Hothead, Scratch, Monty Moose, King Lionheart, Halfcourt, Wyrm, Scumbug, Leatherhead, Doctor El, Wingnut, Ray Fillet, Sandstorm, Mondo Gecko and Rock'N Roll Mondo Gecko among others as toys for the playmates toyline were designed by Mirage Studios artists and they did the packaging artwork as well.
1. Opens video at 2:50 a.m. 2. 5 seconds into it, sees Doug and James playing TMNT III for NES. 3. Stops video, scrolls down and gives 'like'. 4. Scrolls back up and resumes video.
Susuan Cartwrite Definitely, and I have the arcade game to it as well! It's pretty much like Sunset Riders, & Turtles In Time put together, and is a shame it (like many other great arcade games from back then) never got a console release of anykind.
Adam Hauger Well, they already did Turtles in Time, and since Hyperstone Heist is a Genesis port, I don't think they want to do 2 ports of they same game unless they just want to see if April O'Neil's tats are any larger.
Supaflyguy there are enough differences to give it its own video. doubt they'd mind having an excuse to play what are essentially new Turtles In Time levels.
Blutroth they are just nintendo fanboyz, leave them alone. Hyperstone Heist best TMNT game EVER! And for me arcade version Turtle in Time much better then super nintendo at all
I remember that prime time special, it was awesome watching ninja turtles at night. Back before DVRs we watched everything when it was on, or else we missed it.
You know when you're having loads of fun and you get overexcited? That's what Doug is doing; how can you moan about a guy having loads of fun with his mates? He's not obnoxious, he's having loads of fun, the guy never stops smiling. Imagine if you were all to read these comments about you, just because you had loads of fun and were crazy happy? Chill out, if you don't like it, there's a very simple way to stop it.
Funnily enough, there were actually multiple TMNT/Wild West C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa crossovers in the Tales of the TMNT comic sometime in the mid-to-late 2000s. The random mash-up was because the C.O.W. Boys were created by Ryan Brown, who worked at Mirage Studios on many TMNT-related matters, including creating Leatherhead.
THEMUFFINMAN55 He's not my cup of tea but I'm guessing James is traveling for business and Doug was in the area, so why not? Out of all the guests I think Pat has the best chemistry with them all.
TheShepherd82 it is. 2's super easy. theres a code for 3 though so u can make it harder if you want to. harder the better.. u can just use your 'special' movie though then its easy. even when its harder.
maybe it's seems hard to me,'cause it wasn't released in germany, or it isn't still released here?knew that game since 2012 or so.it's harder these days getting into a game than it was in my childhood i think.
TheShepherd82 yeah no 3's tough with out the code but you can spam that special movie and beat the game that way if your good and pick raph. its actually a really long game.
yeah raph is a bullet. i recently set out a challenge to play this game only using the special move, only. some people did ok.which didnt matter, was about having fun but a friend of mine actually almost beat the game that way.. he actually got board and pretty much fell asleep after shredder 1. but hes a freak
I agree with James. Playable April out for revenge for being kidnapped by Shredder so much would be great! And might I add, that Turtles 3 story just made Mike the ultimate badass.
Michael Keaton was far and away the best Batman while seemingly putting forth half the effort of any of the other actors that have tried since to fill that roll.
noisyturtle I think the brilliant implementation of Bat Nipples combined with the stellar quality of Alicia Silverstone's accent may have blinded you to the actual quality of many of the constituent parts of the movie.
How can you guys call yourself fans of TMNT and never read the original comics? They are even out in complete chronological collections published by IDW called "The ultimate collection". Have you never had the idea that this might be better than the cartoonshow you grow up with? Spoiler: The comics are better
I like you guys experimenting with the 2 player on one player concept I have often wondered myself with classic games especially from the nes era. I really would love to see you and mike do the Earthworm Jim on the genesis 1 and 2 it would be a perfect Mike and James monday game. Being a PA resident myself I am so glad you guys are here and still doing it for the game scene thank you for your time!!!
Their video stops right where I got stuck, at that boss...could not beat him, even when I kept doing the special attack with just one life bar left. To this day I remember that! Great game for its time.
God damn, are there really people who don't realize that the AVGN and NC are fucking characters, portrayed by the actors, James and Doug? You'd think people would be able to realize that...That's like saying that Micheal J. Fox and Thomas F. Wilson are bully & bully victim in real life. How do people not get this. James and Doug are friends. Their CHARACTERS are enemies.
This is easily one of my favorite games on the NES. I rented it and played through most of the game with my brother. We didn't buy it until several years later and then we started playing a lot. Got it real cheap since the playstation had just come out and nes was still cheap.
I know I'm in the minority here, but wow I do not enjoy Doug on this show. I used to really like the monday plays from Mike and James, but now the obnoxious loud voice of the Nostalgia Critic is here. I won't be watching until his time on these is gone. just my opinion.
Wow more people agreed with me than I thought. I don't watch his shows personally, but i'm sure he has a place. In my opinion, his loud, overbearing, whiny voice doesn't fit here. He actually steps all over James' toes when he's trying to talk. I came here for James and mike b/c i like the chemistry they have together...not to hear him talking over everyone. Lay off the coco Doug.
Shaggy Well that's just the thing. It's coming off as obnoxious only because he's contrasting with Mike and James who are fairly quiet on their own. Honestly I felt the same way when Jon was on the show too. Sometimes that kind of differing dynamic can make things interesting by giving you variety - other times it just clashes.
Lol! I dunno about the whole "you fuck" part, but otherwise I agree. I think it's fun having Dougon the show, and he handles himself very well considering his videogame knowledge isn't anywhere near James and Mike's, or most of the rest of us for that matter. He still puts a lot of energy and humor into the show and manages to stay interesting regardless, but hey, that's just an opinion. :D
***** I love the way he talks myself, he sounds fine to me. Maybe it's not that he's loud, maybe James is just not loud enough, but he also sounds fine to me so I don't think that is it at all. But if your speakers really are fine, then that really makes no sense.
well, he did ruin shrek, indiana jones, certain disney movies, and the matrix. so yeah, go withe Siskel and Ebert, go with Angry Video Game Nerd, these are much better reviewers
Thumbs up for the story of Mike's reaction at TMNT 3!!! XD
More like the Micheal Bat version lol.
***** More like the Michael Bay version, lol.
FantasyFlix Thumbs up for sure!
FantasyFlix lol Didn't the Critic look surprised by that story?!
FantasyFlix Sounds like a bunch of malarkey to me.
Always liked TMNT III the most out of the NES trilogy. Never did beat the whole thing, though.
Also thought it was pretty cool to have Mike play simultaneously, good stuff.
I prefer when its just James and Mike on the couch.
Some of James's expressions when Doug is sat next to him nigh on screaming and basically cutting him off every few seconds lol, James internally like " this is terrible" help! Just James & Mike for me please in future, legendary duo IMO.
Exact..he made me just turn the video
This one is often overlooked but its still up there with the Arcade game and Turtles 4 in my opinion.I like how Krang has party legs
The Konami Code works on this one, too. It opens up a level select and I think the option to have more lives. Used to use it a lot as a makeshift 'continue' option, since the game doesn't have passwords or anything.
When you're down to one block of health you can spam your special move without taking more damage. I use to use that on bosses when my health was all the way down.
Yeah, I remember surviving on that for a long time. Strange thing is I played version of this game where Raphael had like 3 times weaker special move, and bosses also was much harder than in us version. My favourite move was just throwing enemy over. One of my favourites NES games!
I remember beating this game with my cousin after trying for hours... To be young and have all the time in the world... I miss that.
Yup, Doug knew about TMNT before anybody.. In fact he's the one that made it popular at his school...
Please be trolling
I recently saw vanilla ice in concert. he did the turtle song. I shat
camarowland4 in concert? wow. I didn't know he still did things.
C H I'm not joking it was awesome. him and a bunch of old hip hop acts including kid and play
This was easily my favorite NES game growing up. Played this game for hours with my best friend using the Game Genie so we could actually finish the game.
I love these old platform multiplayer games. Doesn't matter how old they are. They're always fun.
This guy is the Jar Jar Binks of your videos
For the record: this was probably filmed back to back with the last James & Mike Monday. James had to drive to Doug's house for the TMNT 2014 review, and they live 12 hours away from each other (by car). So yeah, it makes sense that Mike isn't there to join them on the couch.
JoannaRice Exactly, someone else understands :D
That one dude talks Sooooo much but James, Mike you guys rock!
Dear Doug, i use headphones. Please don't scream.
Yea can't stand him
The music in this game is fantastic.
sprite flickering is called OAM (object attribute map) cycling, it's caused by the hardware limitation of 8 sprites per scanline.
Couldn't afford a SNES when it came out so Ninja Turtles 3 was my jAM. Still my favorite NES turtles game by far. It had everything, Bebop, Rocksteady, Slash, Groundchuck, Dirtbag, Tokka, Rahzar, Krang, Shredder AND Super Shredder!
Me to
I still prefer the Mike and James videos that are just of Mike and James...maybe Bootsy...
This is the best TMNT game ever made!!
Stephen P Fuck no
@PHILL SHIVELY Out of the Shadows wasn't a bad game. The combat system could definitely use some improvement though. Turtles in Time remains my all-time favorite Turtle game.
"Turtles In Time" on the Super Nintendo is the only Ninja Turtles game that matters!
The surf riding to catch up to the submarine with the synchronized foot soldiers jumping out of the water, the prelude without music to the sewers filling up before the Leatherhead boss fight, the high speed elevator climb as if it was a Gunstar Heroes level, the fight against Tokka in front of the giant electrified neon sign, and the conveyor belt with the lasers in one of the last levels... This game is full of memorable moments
Doug: "I'm Michaelangelo"...of course you are ;)
Great to hear all the stories of your TMNT fandom! Nice to have another video with Doug!
You can cheat on the surfing level. If you stay at the bottom of the screen, most enemies will not be able to hurt you.
SonNeko wow thats amazing. why do you cheat.
Tix Mctivy no way dewd! thats totally rad. think theres also a lives and difficulty option there too dewds. thank god for gamepro for getting that info out there..
SonNeko I LOVE those kind of secrets/glitches in retro video games! ^^
***** ja nice love your chanel *****
you made me laugh lol. Well they look huge in the profile pic. some of the rare kind to possess lol. She is a retro gamer which a plus to the boobs :3 ;)
Whenever Raiden does his flying tackle, to me it sounds like he's yelling "Raiden Marmalade"
I love how at one point; like 9:15 into the video.
Rolfe is Raph
Doug is Don
Mike is Mike
Perfect choices.
This game is awesome. Its unfair to compare this to Turtles in Time, which is SNES. As far as NES games go, this is one of the greatest.
AVGN and NC in the same room playing TMNT.
My life is now complete.
Jovan Mitrić nice man.
Let the shipping begin!
Buc Whovian oh my god please just stop
ZachAttack84
Fuck you! You have no idea what else is gong on in their life.
Jovan Mitrić Yes!! :) So happy right now!
I'm a fan of Doug/The Nostalgia Critic, but this video makes me appreciate James and Mike's chemistry when playing games all the more. It makes sense that they share the screen so well after being friends for so long, but it's something usually taken for granted. Another great upload, keep up the great work.
/The world needs more "Make me Draw" vids, Mike. Those are awesome.
My friend recently got me this game as a gift and I love it to death. So much fun
I love this game...but I remember most of my friends hated it and bashed it for being too similar to Turtles II. Even the two critics they had reviewing games in Nintendo Power at the time of this game's release, bashed the crap out of it.
RetroGamerAaron bashing seems violent. hard on the hands. ill piss on things. base ball bats are good for bashing too. remember the guy who bashed watermelons. waste of water melon. but he had a cool porn stash, so it was ok.
I used to like it more. Beat em ups are just too repetitive sometimes. My favorite is Turtles in Time.
RetroGamerAaron I think it just came out too late in the console cycle. If I remember correctly, there was a cross platform advertising campaign that advertised this game, the genesis game, and the snes game all at the same time. On hand it makes sense. Every gamer has their turtles game, and it saves ad cost. But it had the side effect of making this game look like the worst option and blatantly inferior to the other games that were out on every other console.
RetroGamerAaron Loved that you mentioned Nintendo Power :3 I haven't flipped through one of those in a while!
RetroGamerAaron Loved this game as well, it was much better than Arcade Game on NES, just came out a bit late for the times I guess.
LISTENING TO DOUG RATTLE ON IS LIKE READING EVERY SINGLE COMMENT BEING WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS
I remember COWboys of Moo Mesa. That was a pretty good show, and the arcade game was awesome.
For my birthday one year, my parents took me and a bunch of my classmates to see TMNT 2 in the theater. We then went to a roller rink/arcade/pizza place. My aunt dressed in a Michelangelo costume (one of those promotional costumes they used at super market grand openings and things). Each kid got a Polaroid taken with the turtle. Awesome party and memory.
A few tips for playin this game:
1. The special attack makes you take damage but if you're already low health it cant damage you anymore so you should spam it then(you're invincible during your special attack.
2.You wanna be Rafael, he has the best special attack and it travels a decent distance pretty fast).
3. on the foot soldiers spam the throw attack, it one shots them and knocks away any enemies that are behind you.
4. In one of the versions (I'm not sure if it was the US or EU) spaming the jump kick is a decent strategy but in the other the enemies have better AI and jump kicks are basically suicide.
Abdalla Alsuwaidi Yup i follow all these tips and still have a tough time with this game.
5) Punch in the "Konami" code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, A, B) at the title screen then select your number of players with the select button and press start to open the OPTIONS menu. You can change the difficulty level to easy and increase your number of lives. On easy mode, every enemy takes fewer hits to kill. Foot Soldiers become one hit with a standard attack!
So awesome to see TMNT 3: The Manhattan Project played by James and Mike, Doug being in on it too was just the cherry on top. This was game was awesome. Got it on Christmas way back when and I still love it despite the limitations. Love the boss fights and the animations. The music is still pretty good too. Would not mind seeing a release on the Virtual Console.
you're supposed to spam the special attack when you're almost dead. It can't take your last bit of health away.
gunsmithbasic That's what I love about this game, high risk - high reward.
I remember they did like a special prime-time TMNT show with the episode with Groundchuck and Dirtbag. I had both toys too as a kid.
Is it just me, or is Doug really... grating? Just, all the time. Every time he opens his mouth, I want him to close it.
It's just you.
I'm glad I was still playing NES back then (along with my Genesis)
Will never forget the most intense gaming memory ever.
We were playing two players. Last life, last continue, at the last Shredder. The person I was playing with died and I was at 1 health. Shredder was very nearly dead and blinking like mad and I was 1 pixel away from his kick distance. He kept repeatedly kicking at me and I was scared to move because I knew if I made the wrong move, I was dead and game over (I also believe it was the final day of our rental).
I don't even remember how I got out of that situation, but somehow I finished him off.
GWS congratulations!
I was telling someone the other day that I had a Turtles beat-em-up on the NES years ago and couldn't for the life of me remember the name - this was it. Thanks!
...When was the last time Doug Walker was relevant?
Matthew Dolby
your profile picture says it all..
Matthew Dolby When wasn't he? He still makes awesome vids.
Matthew Dolby He is still very relevant and still doing nostalgia critic and is fucking awesome so go home troll. :)
jameshetfieldserbia Same could be said for yours. :D.
***** Since him and the entire TGWTG staff started siding with the Social Justice Warrior crowd.
These James and Doug vs. Mike videos are awesome!
COWBOYS OF MOO MESA FTW!!!!!!
Tyler Holland Cowboys of Moo Mesa is fucking awesome-Mike
Cinemassacre I was really hoping to see a beat em up for that series, that and street sharks. Ah I miss those times Anamorphic characters were super popular concepts.
DintheAbary Yeah, I miss that, before everybody attached the "furry" stigma to it.
Tyler Holland I feel like Doug should one day go over all those shows that tried to cash in on the ninja turtles craze like the aforementioned Cowboys of Moo Mesa, Biker Mice From Mars, Street Sharks, etc. James already did do the Cheetah Men if that counts.
Cuckoo Phendula a top 11 TMNT clone shows perhaps? :P
Cowboys of Moo Mesa was actually created by one of the artists from the Ninja Turtle comic book by Mirage Studios, Ryan Brown. Thus the similarity in art work and style. There are even a couple of turtle comics featuring a Turtle/Moo Mesa team-up.(Tales of TMNT V.2 #32&52) They even cameo in the the Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward cartoon Ep. 3 "Home Invasion".

Nostalgia Critic: peaked in grade school.
No one asked
@Mr. Fearingtoon You must have peaked in grade school, too.
They accidentally predicted Splinter and April as playable characters in Shredder's Revenge.
Yes! Finally it's here!!! :)
***** Love you !!
The ham-ham/sumo guy was called Tattoo in the toy line.
Also, there was a mutant mole called Dirtbag in that hour-long episode.
HI! MY NAME IS DOUG! DERPY DERP DERP!!!
1. Opens video at 2:50 a.m.
2. 5 seconds into it, sees Doug and James playing TMNT III for NES.
3. Stops video, scrolls down and gives 'like'.
4. Scrolls back up and resumes video.
Great gaming! I love how you guys included Doug in the fun! Another game to add to my collection...
I forgot the bull guy's name too, but I had a toy of him as a kid and LOVED it.
Wild West Cowboy's of Moo Mesa was actually a really fun arcade game.
Does anyone agree or disagree?
Susuan Cartwrite Never played it but that intro screen looks cool. Is it a shooter like Sunset Riders? I see it's also made by Konami.
Yeah, it is a lot like Sunset Riders (another awesome game), albeit a bit more cartoony. If ya like that game then ya will like Moo Mesa.
Susuan Cartwrite it's a cool game c:
Susuan Cartwrite Definitely, and I have the arcade game to it as well! It's pretty much like Sunset Riders, & Turtles In Time put together, and is a shame it (like many other great arcade games from back then) never got a console release of anykind.
I completely agree with you. It's actually a bit surprising that Nintendo didn't pick it up for the SNES, like they did for Turtles in Time.
This was my favorite game growing up. I played it so much.
do hyperstone heist sirs
Adam Hauger Well, they already did Turtles in Time, and since Hyperstone Heist is a Genesis port,
I don't think they want to do 2 ports of they same game unless they just want to see if April O'Neil's tats are any larger.
Supaflyguy there are enough differences to give it its own video. doubt they'd mind having an excuse to play what are essentially new Turtles In Time levels.
Adam Hauger Think they already did Turtles in Time which are basically the same game. Well not the same but very similar.
lfgubrs Hyperstone heist is NOT the same game. Stops saying that. There are different levels and bosses.
Blutroth they are just nintendo fanboyz, leave them alone. Hyperstone Heist best TMNT game EVER! And for me arcade version Turtle in Time much better then super nintendo at all
For those of us that didn't get an SNES for several years after it came out, this game was the bomb. Also, the Konami code works on it.
Doug, what's it like to run all the decent content off your site?
Ithink Brad's too chill to give a shit about anything ever, elsewise he'd be gone as well
StickWarrior I dunno I kinda like Angry Joe.
Doug ruins all the decent content of anything he’s involved in. For instance he ruins this otherwise awesome video
If Mike really pissed on the screen, he was a messed up kid. No one does that. Hahaha.
We don't call him motherfucker mike for nothing
5:36 - 5:45...sums this video perfectly. Mike says something, James laughs, then NC yells...James's face says it all.
Couldn't watch this whole episode as that guy just kept SHOUTING!!!!!
So nice to see Doug working with Angry Nerd
Nostalgia Critic can't shut up, can't he?
I remember that prime time special, it was awesome watching ninja turtles at night. Back before DVRs we watched everything when it was on, or else we missed it.
You know when you're having loads of fun and you get overexcited? That's what Doug is doing; how can you moan about a guy having loads of fun with his mates? He's not obnoxious, he's having loads of fun, the guy never stops smiling. Imagine if you were all to read these comments about you, just because you had loads of fun and were crazy happy? Chill out, if you don't like it, there's a very simple way to stop it.
You seem like someone no one would want to hang out with, either.
Funnily enough, there were actually multiple TMNT/Wild West C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa crossovers in the Tales of the TMNT comic sometime in the mid-to-late 2000s. The random mash-up was because the C.O.W. Boys were created by Ryan Brown, who worked at Mirage Studios on many TMNT-related matters, including creating Leatherhead.
Anyone else find Doug obnoxious in this video?
THEMUFFINMAN55 Yes, but at least he is not wearing that stupid Cuban revolutionary hat.
THEMUFFINMAN55 Dumbshit is obnoxious everywhere.
THEMUFFINMAN55 He's not my cup of tea but I'm guessing James is traveling for business and Doug was in the area, so why not? Out of all the guests I think Pat has the best chemistry with them all.
Stinger911 I prefer Bootsy
THEMUFFINMAN55 I like Doug and it was cool to see him as a guest for Contra, but he just doesn't mesh well with these vids.
this is my favorite tmnt game of all time. beat it soooo many times as a kid. and yes, I played this game when it was new
Doug Makes these videos so much funnier. But anyways, Manhattan Project is excellent. One of the best NES beat 'em up games.
Love you guys! Keep bringing awesome guests :D.
Doug is so awkward. He keeps talking and talking and James just sits there in silence.
I saw The Coming out of their Shells tour in Columbus, Ohio. I had the cassette tape too. Doug is a monster for not staying and watching it all.
Love it, but it feels way harder than Turtles 2
TheShepherd82 it is. 2's super easy. theres a code for 3 though so u can make it harder if you want to. harder the better.. u can just use your 'special' movie though then its easy. even when its harder.
maybe it's seems hard to me,'cause it wasn't released in germany, or it isn't still released here?knew that game since 2012 or so.it's harder these days getting into a game than it was in my childhood i think.
TheShepherd82 yeah no 3's tough with out the code but you can spam that special movie and beat the game that way if your good and pick raph. its actually a really long game.
yeah raph is a bullet. i recently set out a challenge to play this game only using the special move, only. some people did ok.which didnt matter, was about having fun but a friend of mine actually almost beat the game that way.. he actually got board and pretty much fell asleep after shredder 1. but hes a freak
TheShepherd82 The one reason I like this game over TMNT 4 is the difficulty, but I cannot beat 3, Shredder always gets me.
I agree with James. Playable April out for revenge for being kidnapped by Shredder so much would be great!
And might I add, that Turtles 3 story just made Mike the ultimate badass.
Michael Keaton was far and away the best Batman while seemingly putting forth half the effort of any of the other actors that have tried since to fill that roll.
noisyturtle I think the brilliant implementation of Bat Nipples combined with the stellar quality of Alicia Silverstone's accent may have blinded you to the actual quality of many of the constituent parts of the movie.
Tommy TwoTacos to bad michael keaton wasnt in any ninja turtle movies. he waould haave been the best ninja turtle too.
I remember begging my mom for this game when it came out lol. My sister and I used to play it all the time. I still have it and love it.
How can you guys call yourself fans of TMNT and never read the original comics? They are even out in complete chronological collections published by IDW called "The ultimate collection". Have you never had the idea that this might be better than the cartoonshow you grow up with? Spoiler: The comics are better
I like you guys experimenting with the 2 player on one player concept I have often wondered myself with classic games especially from the nes era. I really would love to see you and mike do the Earthworm Jim on the genesis 1 and 2 it would be a perfect Mike and James monday game. Being a PA resident myself I am so glad you guys are here and still doing it for the game scene thank you for your time!!!
I am trying to calculate Mike's age at the pissing indecent.
I thought they were both a few years older than me. I was right in thinking he was a teen. So damn hardcore.
***** that doesnt make sense tho because he met mike in college
Their video stops right where I got stuck, at that boss...could not beat him, even when I kept doing the special attack with just one life bar left. To this day I remember that! Great game for its time.
It's so amazing to see James and Doug in more crossover videos. =)
Great America turtles concert. That's exactly where I saw it, and exactly how I felt.
Wait, I thought these two were enemies!
Rhys1206 They did a co-review of Michael Bay's TMNT. They're only enemies when they need the publicity.
Rhys1206
lol. nope. their characters are friends/enemies. this is just james and doug playing the game.
God damn, are there really people who don't realize that the AVGN and NC are fucking characters, portrayed by the actors, James and Doug? You'd think people would be able to realize that...That's like saying that Micheal J. Fox and Thomas F. Wilson are bully & bully victim in real life. How do people not get this.
James and Doug are friends. Their CHARACTERS are enemies.
***** Because it's more fun to sometimes pretend to imagine there's actually nerds who get into internet fights like this.
Search for "off to fight the nerd" video might have to put in nostalgia critic as well to find it. It kinda shows the behind the scenes.
This one is my all time favorite game and played the most. good old memories.
Doug.
Calm down mate.
This is easily one of my favorite games on the NES. I rented it and played through most of the game with my brother. We didn't buy it until several years later and then we started playing a lot. Got it real cheap since the playstation had just come out and nes was still cheap.
I know I'm in the minority here, but wow I do not enjoy Doug on this show. I used to really like the monday plays from Mike and James, but now the obnoxious loud voice of the Nostalgia Critic is here. I won't be watching until his time on these is gone. just my opinion.
Shaggy I agree, that guy is obnoxious as hell.
Shaggy yeah.. james and mike just work perfect together. alone.. ^^
Wow more people agreed with me than I thought. I don't watch his shows personally, but i'm sure he has a place. In my opinion, his loud, overbearing, whiny voice doesn't fit here. He actually steps all over James' toes when he's trying to talk. I came here for James and mike b/c i like the chemistry they have together...not to hear him talking over everyone. Lay off the coco Doug.
Shaggy Well that's just the thing. It's coming off as obnoxious only because he's contrasting with Mike and James who are fairly quiet on their own. Honestly I felt the same way when Jon was on the show too. Sometimes that kind of differing dynamic can make things interesting by giving you variety - other times it just clashes.
Lan Astaslem Doug is an intelligent guy.
It's reminds me news channel, when two people in different places talking to each other, and they like have these funny conversations.
Dudes I love you guys but seriously... Doug is loud and anoying as hell. I find myself switching off he's that anoying. Great vid muted though .
The fuck! You serious? Doug is awesome, if it was loud, that could be your speakers problem. But hey better to be too loud than too quite.
Lol! I dunno about the whole "you fuck" part, but otherwise I agree. I think it's fun having Dougon the show, and he handles himself very well considering his videogame knowledge isn't anywhere near James and Mike's, or most of the rest of us for that matter. He still puts a lot of energy and humor into the show and manages to stay interesting regardless, but hey, that's just an opinion. :D
*****
I love the way he talks myself, he sounds fine to me. Maybe it's not that he's loud, maybe James is just not loud enough, but he also sounds fine to me so I don't think that is it at all. But if your speakers really are fine, then that really makes no sense.
John Benson
"The fuck" is another way of saying WTF.
*****
That really doesn't make sense to me because he sounds fine at my end.
I'm glad you did this game. It deserves all the love it can get. It might be my favorite co-op game on the NES
i cant watch this. Doug is to loud. talks to much and is overall just obnoxious.
And yet here you are...
That dude was beyond pumped for this play session.
please stop playing with Doug on James and MIKE Mondays, it is meant for James and Mike ;-;
let's see... Doug lives in Chicago. So yeah there's you're answer why he's here's with James and why Mike is at James.
for real!!!!! Or give us a heads up in the title and say Doug is in the vid... They don't even laugh at his desperate attempts to be funny....
PSUDarius2032 He acts like a 7 year old kid that just got a new toy
The nerd and the critic again in the same video!!! Nice!!! Hope you guys keep fighting each other, it was an incredible crossover!
Ugh, another Doug episode.
well, he did ruin shrek, indiana jones, certain disney movies, and the matrix. so yeah, go withe Siskel and Ebert, go with Angry Video Game Nerd, these are much better reviewers
I love this game. Awesome music in TMNT 3.
I just love Doug :)
Yeah this was my favorite episode with him, no one else was trying to talk lmao
My all time favorite TMNT game
