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.
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
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
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!!!
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 :)
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.
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!!!!
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
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!
Bootsy is such a badass!
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.
Bootsy is a goddamn beast
This is classic 80's gaming: one guy plays and the other two just watch in awe. Thank you for the memories!
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 still come back to rewatch these videos, so chilled.
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.
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.
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
I could watch you guys play retro titles forever.
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
I just watched the whole episode, that was intense! Bravo Bootsy!
i have never seen such patience and self control I'd break controls in under 5min, nice job...
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
give that guy a fucking medal.
I knew this game was hard but holy sh*t never realized how hardcore it was
the bootsy shows are the best. dem skillz!
Bootsy fuck yeah!!!
Bootsy Beats is gonna be awesome cant wait
Bootsy is in rare form here! Ice water in his veins and beating a game I used to dream of beating.
Super calm at every moment.
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!
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
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.
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.
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
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 ^^
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 miss this
..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
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.
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
Amazing idea of bootsey having a series, its well needed! :D
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.
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 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.
you guys need to play Boogerman on Genesis!
This is the James I know. I hope he comes back. But life is different now.
Hot damn! That rotating tower level has to be the most graphically impressive effect I've ever seen on an NES.
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!
Watching this video relieved a lot of f-bombs I dropped in the summer of 1991.
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
I
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.
I'll never forget the straight hours I had to put into each level, dying time and time again using the infinite lives code just to get through the game. On the sewer level, I gave up after about 3 hours of making no progress (and nearly gave up on the orb level after another 3), but I have seen and beaten all the levels, with the code of course. Tensed up and congratulated Bootsy as I watched every moment of this video. What a fantastic job he did; ridiculous game, will never forget it as long as I live.
James’s face at 20:31 😂
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)
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
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.
Top 10 hardest Battletoads levels! That brought on a genuine laugh fit
Battletoads one of my classic favorite games 🎮 back in the day 👍👍👍👍👍
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.
One of the greatest games on NES, takes skill for sure
This game kicked my head in when I was a young'n
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!)
More Bootsy in these Monday videos.
Ok, I'm going to dispel the confusion over the various Battletoads releases again. There are five proper games:
1. Battletoads (NES)
2. Battletoads (GB)
3. Battletoads and Double Dragon (NES)
4. Battletoads in Battlemaniacs (SNES°
5. (Super) Battletoads (Arcade)
That's it. All the rest are ports, most of them watered down.
Also:
-to beat this version with two players, you have to waste Player 2's current continue on stage 11, then just bring him back for stage 12.
-Bootsy actually took a shortcut on Karnath's Lair, that final snake is supposed to do a few more waves and it's pretty crazy.
-Sharks take 6 hits to actually kill, ducks are immortal. You could have simply jumped over most of them though.
You missed battletoads 9001 mudkipz edition
Seth Rohl if you have continues left you can opt not to use them, then on the load screen you press start and you come back
Remake Title
"Battletoads: Kiss your Friendships goodbye"
This guy is so calm I would be cursing and yelling the whole fucking way. He's good!!
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.
so sad to see that everybody in this video is now dead
They are not
I'm not playing the game but whenever they mess up I'm yelling "aw fuck!" Haha
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.
At 20:50 this is where nes players go to die lmao. It's so funny when their joking around about unplugging the controller and shit. These guys are so awesome!!
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!
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!!
My uncle sayed he beat this game as kid but I didn’t believe him
Because didn’t have proof later on we where clean up are basement and i found some vhs I played them
And found out he screen recorded him
Beating battletoads and few other games which I found cool
3 months late but, just out of curiosity, do you still have that VHS?
Upload those videos
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.
The surf level reminds me a lot of Cobra Triangle. Sure enough Rare was behind that title as well, never knew it until now.
long time for me and my bro to beat this,,,, it took years.. long time .. thank you guys
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?
If you haven't played this game you literally can't understand that this is impossible...
Back when things were better.
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.
Good to know I was able to beat one of the hardest games ever made. I played it religiously as a kid, until I could complete it. Tried playing it on the new Rare games collection on Xbox 1 but I couldn't do it because there was lag on my friend's TV.
This is fucking insane. Hats off to Bootsy. Great video as always!!
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 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'm thankful to UA-cam, because as a kid I've never see the ending of some NES games that really want to
Wow you posted this almost exactly at 12 oclock. Good deal, good deal.
EndrewsXeudon thats what she said.
EndrewsXeudon hahah
EndrewsXeudon HAHA dangly parts
***** no I mentioned automatically which means YT does it for you. You say the time and date and it will post it for you.
If you have ever seen a private video in a playlist, that video has been scheduled.
Rabid Rabbit Rabbi Timezones
That last level really reminds me of Nebulus.
Bootsy is a fucking badass
Battletoads and TMNT were my two main games as a child.I never finish games and always have them on max difficulty. Something fun about the frustration and knowing it has infinite replays.
I never knew they were considered difficult. I'm sure that experience has shaped the way I game.
lol neither games have difficulty settings
@@Syckwun it was a reference to other games. Like dirt rally 2. It's super frustrating on its hardest settings.
You know, fun fact I heard once. The NES and its cartridges were designed to resemble video tapes in some ways because Nintendo thought the market would react better to something they were familiar with. The original design either felt too foreign or too much like a computer or something, which they didn't think the US market would appreciate. So the fact that everyone was calling them Nintendo tapes was actually somewhat intentional.
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
My hands were so clammy watching this
Why does no one seem to remember the Battletoads arcade game very well? I remember this being in practically every arcade for awhile. Also, it was extremely bloody and violent, unlike any other game in the series.
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.
In all the years of playing this game, I never knew you could destroy those fans in Intruder Excluder.
