I love that the goal of the game is to reassemble a vacuum cleaner.
Silver Surfer is broke and can't buy a new one
Looks like a Dyson prototype
While it’s on.
Silver Surfer, wielder of the power cosmic, herald of Galactus, eater of worlds-OH SHIT PUMPKINS AND FROG TONGUES!!!!
***EXPLODES***
+dorpth A FUCKING RUBBER DUCK!!
+Lad Geßler *heart jumps out and attacks him
Leprechaun hats Oh My!
How about that killer rope!
Tree: KA ME HA ME HAAAAA
Jame's soul being destroyed in two sentences:
"Do you think this game can be beaten without any powerups?"
"Yeah... I do."
haha
Bootsy has all the characteristics of a seasoned pro gamer. Completely rational and calm, no frustration whatsoever, insane finger speed. This dude is a fucking beast
Also he is cool in the videos, really sad they split up in vain
@@-Tristan- What happened? Do you have a rundown?
@@Kiristovailack of payment and personal beef.
@@MrRobison94 ?
True
HAH 11:43 Mike references a hilarious part of the Silver Surfer AVGN episode
and James just gets the best grin across his face and chuckles to himself like "fuck yeah I know I'm the man".
Such a fucking badass
I seriously love watching Bootsy play with you guys he is so laid back and busts out skills better than most speed runners.
The one thing I'd change with this game is that I would make the terrain not kill you but instead just block you. Like normal terrain in any game. I'd make it clear which kind of terrain blocks you and which one doesn't.
Any terrain in side scrolling shooter will kill you
bunnyfreakz I don't think the terrain in Gradius is lethal
I think your shots pass through terrain that is passable, I think.
Elias R. The terrain in Gradius games is very lethal. Some Gradius games have a "speed-up" stage designed to make you bob and weave terrain.
*****
Pretty much, even though silver surfer is hard as well. There is speed up stage that nearly impossible you too dodge it without rapidly dying in gradius/salamander
Just to show how much concentration this game requires:
Mike: "There's the frogs in E.T."
James: "How about the movie Frogs?"
.....
Bootsy: "Oh yeah, the frogs in E.T.. heh.. hehehe"
I can't believe 3 game fans didn't think of FROGGER
@@fliperotchy how about frogs and flies?
@@GrosvnerMcaffrey BATTLETOADS lol 👍GG👍
That guy is cool, you should have him in more videos
This game has pretty neat music, even though it's impossible
I really like the idea that they go back and play the games that the Nerd reviewed. It's like a different point of view from James and Mike.
Challaxe Luithiadir I know. James does incorporate truth into his reviews though. He has gotten more calm in his reviews and not as energetic. He has gone threw maturity. I remember when he redid Back to the Future and other older reviews, it really did make them better. When they played Friday the 13th, James was taking up for it until it got to a point were they couldn't stand it. Friday the 13th is mediocre at best, but it is playable. You can see where the developers where going with it. Same thing with Silver Surfer, a really hard, mediocre bullethell. I rather play Ikaruga or Gradius because they are better games, but that doesn't mean Silver Surfer shouldn't be picked on, there are other worse games that deserve it..
Challaxe Luithiadir You don't think their opinions could be the same outside of the AVGN universe?
Challaxe Luithiadir One distinguish difference is that AVGN is generally seventeen minute reviews of the flaws in a game. James and Mike Mondays are twenty to forty minute playthroughs of games. They may point out some flaws, but overall they play to beat a game and not review it.
That would be awesome.
***** I don't think they put on an act when the get in front of a camera, so they are more focused on the game so weird conversations and replies happen.
30:00 wait a minute... Are those disembodied alien elephant heads with the skin partially ripped off of their skull???
Yeah I was surprised they didn't say anything about that!! That looked very out of place for this game! Cool design though.
How the hell did that get into a Nintendo game?
Yeah I didn't even notice that either. I was too busy hoping he wouldn't die at that point.
The testers probably missed that because they were so done with this game before that point
The weird fever dream of a British game designer I suppose.
So nostalgic. Loved this AVGN video back in the day. It seems a lifetime ago... "Silver surfer... Silver shit!" Greetings from Italy!
Ehi ciao! :P
One of the hardest game but one of the greatest soundtrack on the nes . Tim follin rock that 2A03 chip
I literally cant believe how James wouldnt comment on it in neither the review nor this. it's so epic, I'd blast it any day
Mike is great, I have no idea why people used to hate on him when he started reviewing games. He's so fun, humble and also incredibly smart
I love it when you guys include Bootsy. Not being much of a gamer myself, his skills leave me in awe.
@7:40 he starts playing and ends @31:24 (c.a. 24 min) with an average click speed of 5 button taps a second...= roughly 7,000 taps during the game
"You know how you got that extra ball?"
Now that's a conversation starter
he hit the button 46 times and im also bad at counting
+Brendan Carlson 46 times under half a minute. O_O
He hits the button moee then once every second, just times that by 60.
+t daquila Multiply*
Silver surfer is a lot like gradius where you have to get the power ups in the easier stages and just not die somehow. If you die it's almost impossible to get your power ups later on
You can distinguish foreground from background by shooting. If your shot hits an object you will run into it; If it passes through you will too.
I also dont understand why everyone says this game is do shitty. Its like any side scrolling/top down shooter. They genre js difficult in general.
Cinemassacre: I figured out how you can tell what you can and can't go through in this game. Pay attention to which objects stop your bullets.
And simultaneously pay attention to where the enemies are, and their projectiles...
*****
and have brain surgery
Horizontal stages where you can't shoot the ceiling: *Joined the chat*
25:06
When the game's so hard it breaks AVGN
I beat this game back in the day, but not gonna lie...it pretty much took months and months of trail and error, memorizing every stage, performing every stage to absolute perfection and of course...lots of stress, cursing and almost taking a hammer to the game a few times. Still...when I beat it finally and saw the ending....it was like climbing K2, only to trip and fall into a frozen turd at the top.
Can we agree the soundtrack for this game slaps?
We need a reunion of all the originals...
He tapped the button 9716 times
James and Mike,you should make a James and Mike Mondays of DKC2
I second that.
Mari Dias I fifth that
Thunderous applause!! Well done guys!!
What about Glen (Frog) from Chrono Trigger? At least it's my favourite Frog!
"Never count me out"...legend.
Btw if you rewatch the barbie making of episode.. let's just say the information has become slightly outdated lol.
Jesus, Bootsy is a fucking beast. Good job man.
Thanks for the good work guys is great to see two good friend's playing some classic games and talking like the old days today everything is soooo online and is kind of sad you know? Thanks you guys always makes me smile even in the worst days you know? Thanks from a Mexican fan and sorry for my english i bad writing u_u and thanks! nobody here belive there was a game call Castlevania Rondo Of Blood and everyone call me lier!! but thanks to your video last week OMG they belive me thanks you guys! keep with that epic work! :D
That cut at 24:00 was perfect, perfect comedic timing. You do not even have to say anything when watching a game playing spectacle of this magnitude. The game alone is entrancing, but that tapping is ridiculous. Let's see anybody beat the game using an NES Advantage.
6:36, when Mike says "I don't think it's that funny", is ridiculously funny!
I really love James and Mike Mondays! Just like with the cinemassacre movie reviews, it feels like you're just sat around with your friends watching shit and debating random trivia! It's so relaxing to watch XD
Alright Jimmy! Rocking a "That Metal Show" T-Shirt
Wow, I was getting goosebumps watching Bootsy get through that last stage.
It's so chill out for me to watch you guys play retro games at night with something to eat in front of my pc.
Great job for beating the game.
Excellent. Now use that password shown during the credits and beat the hard mode.
>:-D
*** Bootsy Again ... he is fuc3n NES MACHINE ***
YESSSS. So stoked to see Bootsy! You need to get him on more Monday episode!
29:12 his face haha pure pain and despair
Don't forget guys that there is Password system.
If you input the password you can get the harder difficulty and if you beat that
you will get "another" password to play the same game on EVEN higher difficulty.
Yep, what were they thinking?!
Never got to hear what James would change about the game :(
25:54 - James and I have the same face watching this.
If there was a life meter
This game would be great!
I know Larry Fishburne as Clean from Apocalypse Now.
Right! And after that as Jimmy Jump in King of New York and Furious Styles in Boyz'N'tha hood. He's been the man for a long time.
24:00 LOL i could do that as a kid too, you kind of have to zone out into a "spasm" with your hand, you cant conciously press that fast.
These are just getting better and better. Thanks for making Monday awesome.
Hardest NES game? Fester's Quest. More than 15 years later and still haven't beaten it. Saw my dad do it when I was a kid though.
Why did he say he didn’t know you can shoot in different directions? He literally talked about it in avgn
Silver Surfer is the best AVGN episode in my opinion.
Now you gotta do LJN's other "decent" game, NES Wolverine. Minus the complete lack of hitstun and invulnerability after being hit, it was actually a pretty cool title with some weird secrets.
Maybe sometime you guys should do Bushido Blade for the PS1, and try to get at least one of the secret endings-- the guidelines for the Code of Bushido can be pretty tough to follow, and Slash Mode can be a nice endurance challenge.
LJN also did a good job with Spider-man/X-men: Arcade's Revenge on SNES. It's rather tough, but it's a fun game.
Ah, yeah, that one's pretty good, forgot about it. If nothing else, they always had great music in their games thanks to the Follin brothers.
When I was a kid, I had no idea who LJN was or their infamous reputation. This was the only game I knew about that they made. Then I watched AVGN 10 years later...
I had Wolverine just by luck, only heard about their bad games for a long time, so always wondered what all the clamor over their quality was in gaming mags back in yonder days. But eh, now I can go back and actually find things to appreciate in some bad games. :D
They were a publisher, but they were still notorious for publishing games that were broken in gameplay, yet often had excellent music courtesy of either one of the Follin brothers.
All this talk of famous frogs and no mention of Chrono Trigger?!
You should do a James and Mike Mondays with AVGN Adventures. That would be fun to see :)
He hit the button exactly 14,736 times.
Pro Tip: Hand Bootsy the controller. This guy is insane!
this really is old school gaming here at its best.
why do americans call the levels boards? im just as old as these guys so grew up playing the same games, but here in the uk we always called them levels. hopefully someone can clear it up for me as there must be some cultural reason.
Its the same thing with computer games vs video games. we call them computer games here in the UK cos most of the early games were played on computers like the amiga, zx spectrum etc which were more popular (at least in the early days of gaming)
Aphextwins77 nah, it's all the Brits that like to nag about language differences. What they don't realize is that the rest of the world is laughing at them, and not at the America. :p
funny thing is, it was a simple question because i was curious. nothing more. why so defensive?
TheGaiw Then why do Americans generally have this image of Brits as being smart, classy and polite while just about the entire world sees Americans as dumb and crude?
Doom Deer I grew up and still live in New York, and we always called them levels/stages. I have never heard anyone call them boards when I was growing up. It could be different in other parts of the US.
Where'd you get that idea? None of us Americans call levels "boards." We all know what a level is called. But as for that second thing, yes, we DO refer to computer games as video games, or sometimes 'PC games.'
im so surprised no one talked about how amazing this soundtrack is
Re: Turbo buttons and Contra... You can get 10 shots on the screen with the spread gun and fast button presses. While trying to beat the speedrun world record, one guy actually ruptured some blood vessels in his arm from pressing the fire button so much.
Holy shit, Bootsy is a great guest for this game plays, would like to see him more
Why do you wear shoes indoors?
Turrican4D Yeah, if you wear shoes all day... :)
Turrican4D hmm feet yumm yumm
It's an American thing, if you take your shoes off in their home it's a sign of disrespect, as in you're feeling too comfortable being in their home, like a sense of ownership.
***** Haven't heard that before, only similar being the Japanese perspective. I'll have to look into that.
+UltraMc _ Its not Muslim, Its disgusting to think that you are okay with bringing anything you stepped on outside into your home. the only time I am okay with shoes worn inside the house are if they are indoor shoes or housers. That's probably the reason Carpet Cleaning businesses exist.
25:54 - Look at James's face xD All hail, Bootsy and his swollen finger! ^-^
My bicep is so damn sore from playing this game. Personally, Mephisto’s stage and the final stage are the only one I have trouble with.
15:06 The "Where did you learn to fly?" level.
i didn't see it in the comments(there are over 2,000 though. It's probably there anyway.), but Silver Surfer works for Galactus. He offered himself in servitude to save his planet.
Bootsy is the Bob Ross of video games.
Holy crap this game's music is incredible
What is the F power up for? Fuck?
DeltaDragonoid225 Who else would program such relentless game?
Kevin Edwards, the programmer of THIS game.
Mike looked so serious and remained serious looking when he said, "You're good at handling your balls." LOL. Makes me wonder if he knew what he said.
he hit dat button like twelve times
Couldn't they use a Turbo controller to play this game?
***** I just watched them playing the game, I didn't really listen to the commentary.
Bootsy says that's like playing with training wheels.
SnackeyG Oh, ok. I guess that's why he's called an expert of this game, cause he does it the legit way.
I had a friend who beat all the relentless shoot'em ups back in the 80s, He used his pointing finger aswell
I always love it when Bootsy is on the show. That extreme concentration at 12:50
as much as i love the nerd, what always puzzles me, with the extensive knowledge and games owned and played over the years, he is really a bad gamer, i watch some of these n think, why wouldnt you just do that, i dont know if mike is just as bad or hes just too good a friends to actually say anything lol, frustrates me when i see a bad gamer.
I agree.
It's not that Bootsy is amazing at games...as he's not, he's average at best.
It's more a fact that James and Mike are so crap at games, they make Bootsy look amazing.
The whole Jekyll & Mr Hyde makes me laugh. It's not a good game I admit, but the fact when AVGN, James or Mike have played it. They do not play it right and make it look a lot worse and harder than it actually is.
Again, Bootsy is not that good, he's just better than James and Mike.
Dialectical Materialism
more like worldclass
You guys forget that James is way more of a movie buff than a game buff. He played games as a kid, yes, but he got way more into movies in his teens. He said that in college, he pretty much didn't play games at all. It wasn't until he started with the AVGN that he played the old games again.
Well "bad" is relative. I think they're about as good as the average gamer (which I guess.. is fairly bad). The Blaster Master let's play was especially hard for me to watch since I have basic competency in it - "Why are you guys allowing yourself to be hit in the tank? You have superior mobility and range in the tank; you should be crushing everything as though they were armless, defenseless goombas!"
Watching them play a game made for gamers, like DoDonpachi Dai Ou Jou, Raiden, or Ketsui, that would be just brutal. Silver Surfer is hard? Knights+Medusa Heads in Castlevania is hard? Beat a Shoot'em up without using continues~
Dialectical Materialism "Those are good players"
No man, those are like prodigy players. If you want to call someone like that 'good', then anyone that can't destroy the game is bad.
Looks like surfers shots become void when he backs up
From left to right:
Co-Director - Director/Actor - Gamer
Silver Surfer... Silver Shit.
VideoGameSmash12 polished turd😂
VideoGameSmash12 "He looks so Ssstupid!"
Toward the end, Bootsy was starting to look like the picture of Silver Surfer after he dies... :)
lol at 25:14 when Bootsy does the same sort of facepalm as Silver Surfer.
Holy wow.. what amazing skills. I am in total shock.
While talking about famous cartoon frogs, if we want to count overseas, Keroro is definitely one.
this is the hardest episode to watch, even watching a beast do it
This game has some legendary music
This game is actually really addicting, for its difficulty... I think it must be the combination of the adrenaline rush and the music. If you're gonna make a game difficult, at least have an amazing soundtrack.
Am I the only one that is usually eating something when I watch James and mike Mondays?
he is totally in the zone 13:28 eye rest after what looked like no blinking... during the stage
Actually, Norrin Radd (the Silver Surfer's true identity) has a pretty cool background, Mike. You should check it out even before buying the collected editions.
AAA the notorious player that shows up everywhere yet portrayed by millions
Man now we know how silver surfer became one of the most powerfull beings in the universe....look at all the shit he endured!!!
I use the turbo controller, don't care
Famous Frogs? Bud, Weis, and Er.
The Silver Surfer is one of the most powerful characters created this doesn't really feel like a surfer game
He says he didn't know he could shoot backwards. Yet in the Nerd video I remember he specifically made a point about how he can shoot backwards but it's not really helpful.
Who says Atari's "Track and Field" was the only game worthy of tendonitis? I remember giving this cartridge the "Game-Genie" treatment many, many years ago. Now, I remember why. As always, great video guys . . .
That was pretty intense, good job man
Bootsy is awesome. They should invite him over for more hardcore old games.
