Playing some NES hacks - James & Mike Mondays 

Here's an additional Blog post about this episode! www.mikematei.com/blog/playing-some-nes-hacks-james-mike-mondays/

James is soooo happy in the thumbnail

Dude James went into hyper-awareness mode the second that Contra hack came up.

James is casual throughout the whole video, but then turns into a video game god when playing Contra

Definitely play more of these hacks please 😌

Thanks to Erin Plays for letting us borrow her everdrive. Check out her channel here ru-vid.com/show-UCXhETv5GWs2qfJ6D2vEEJDg

Watching James' excitement and genuine happiness playing a cracked out version of one of his all time favorite games made me happy lol. He's provided us with so much entertainment over the years, it's nice to be able to see him have some enjoyment as well. (Tbh you should stream yourself playing through that romhack) Thanks for the video!

castlelvania : symphony of the flight (of stairs)

Thank God they didn't start at Z. Mike would've played every version of Zelda.

Mike: “F**k this thing!” James: “You can if you pull it out really quick.”

I remember the other hack videos from years ago. This right here is what I love: Two friends gaming on the couch making fun of pixelated stupidity. Thanks for everything, James and Mike.

I love Mondays because of this. Thanks guys.

Imagine finding something like this back in the day. It would have blown my mind.

“Batman sucks, he just let it go right by.” “DOUBLE FAULT”

“Stairs of doom” would be a good OVA for castlevania on Netflix 🤣

Really love James and Mike Mondays. It's great that the Cinemassacre crew have been more active in streaming and have been putting out a lot of content. Keep it up guys.

@13:00. My class mate had that (original) tennis game back in 1989, and it blew my mind! The graphic, the sound, the animation and movement, and the fact that his DAD enjoyed playing the game. If I'm not mistaken, I ruled at this game.

I like how legitimately happy you guys look when you're chilling and having fun.

Captain tsubasa is the corner stone of every latin kid born in the 80s

Fun Fact: They also often steal the villages nameplate ( at the border) in F*cking, Austria. So often that they mounted cameras there where the plate is.

'Contra' - The Bullet Hell Version. I've gotta find that!

"Were not gonna play them..." *Proceeds to play them*

Your reaction on the super C hack: priceless!

This is one of the best J&MM episodes, I laughed out loud so many times

I think Mike can take James in an arm-wrestling match.

There is actually a full backstory to Druggy Final Fight. Haggar gets high on PCP and goes on a rampage punching everyone. Then, after the final boss, his high wears off and he realities what he has done, so he commits suicide by jumping out the window.

Captain Tsubasa 2 is one of the best famicom games ever made with one of the best soundtracks of the system. Is an excellent rpg/soccer game based in the anime with the same name. Worth a try

The AVGN almost came out at the end. 🤣👏🏼

Captain TsubaSASA? Seriously? :D

Have y'all played Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal? It's one of the worse bootleg translations out there!

Captain Tsubasa II ... The best game of NES !!!!!

UK has a town called " cockermouth "

biggest fan in Mexico james since 07!!! keep up the good work.

WOW! That's my husband's RC Pro Am hack at 13:55!!! OMG OMG!!!! And yes, it took A LOT of work to do those 360 graphics. His name is Patrick and I think we both just peed a little seeing this!!! Thanks for featuring his work!

8:33 HAHAHA the classic, upward facing palm pointed at the screen followed by the "WTF?!" stare at your buddy after dying to some questionable shit

James' reaction on Super C on steroids is priceless

0:01 i read that as "Hacks and Hebrews" LOL Must have skipped right over that om

Cool video, some of these look great fun! Another awesome hack is Super Mario Bros - 2 player co-op. Works surprisingly smoothly.

From my understanding, Contra will loop forever, but you cap out your score around 8 loops and that is usually considered "completing" the game.

I cannot believe Captain Tsubasa is not a popular anime/game series in the States. It is extremely popular here in ME

That moment when James sees that contra mod is stuck in mind forever

I believe Metroid Fcuked rearranges the items so they're in random drop locations.

Ok now I want to see that version of Contra played with 2 players

Really enjoyed this, mainly because I love videos of game hacks. Sounds like there will be a part 2? If so then that's awesome!

I always like the hack episodes. Game hacks are just fascinating. I swear I’m gonna learn how to do one someday. On my things to do list

CASTLEVANIA: THE WHICH-STAIR PROJECT (comon James it was too easy from there)

*starts playing metroid* *doesn't go left immediately* You guys have played metroid before?

Oh my God I'm dying 1:20 "Are you on a drug" *player clicks yes* "I am shocked Maybe you're an asshole" Lmao DEAD

Oh wow, that Contra one reminded me of Hellfire for the Genesis. A pure Impossibly hard bullet hell experience, except with 3 lives and losing weapons when you die. It had an amazing soundtrack though.

8-Bit Smash Bros. and you didn't even notice!

Please loop Contra in a future J&MM. I'd be very curious to see you guys do that.

Its so heartwarming to hear james say he shows his daughter old nes games, my dad did that with me with the sega genesis and atari.

That reaction to starting up Contra, priceless.

Mike is slowly, super slowly, turning into James.

Hey James keep uploading at noon...perfect timing for lunch time!

9:18 - He's fighting Keith Flint clones (RIP)

LMAO I wanted him to get triggered on that jump. This was cool.

Metroid - Rogue Dawn is the Metroid "hack" that everyone needs to try... It's amazing! I have to give a nod to Castlevania - The Holy Relics as well. All top notch stuff.

Looking forward to more hacks next week! :D

The brewery in Austrias "Fucking" had a beer called "Hell" since that means blonde in german.

The Dead Double Dragon Twins bad guys look like Keith Flint from Prodigy.

Man when james was playing that super C hack his face got so serious.

For a future episode you guys should play Rare Replay for Xbox one. Do the "snapshot" challenges of some of the games. Similar to NES remix.

Captain Tsubasa is a famous soccer manga.

You should check out more of these hacks for AVGN! Could be a fun episode. When you are not angry with a game, but actually see how much people improved Jekyll and Hyde and all of those games you hated for years.

"A lot of Captain Tsubasasa." "Yeah, I don't know what that even is." Seriously? You never heard of "Captain Tsubasa"? It's one of the most popular sports manga & anime from early 80's to early 2000s (and had a new series that came out last year). And it's also the best-looking NES soccer game I've ever seen. The only way I can explain how a former "Angry Nintendo Nerd" haven't even heard of it is that it came out on Famicom under that name and was released on NES as "Tecmo Cup Soccer Game" (no, seriously - that was the actual official title in the west). "Dead Double Dragon Twins" Oh, wow. That reminds me of a "Nekketsu! Street Basket: Ganbare Dunk Heroes" rom hack I made long ago. Except in my version there was no blood, just every basketball player on the field being headless. "Batman sucks! He's letting it go right by!" He let it go 'cause you made a faulty serve. Batman got the points and the ref even shouted "Double Fault!". How did neither of you see that? XD "That's Catwoman as the ref." Uh... no. That's clearly Bat-Mite. At least James seemed to doubt it was Catwoman, even if he didn't recognize the character. "Super Contra Out of Control" Now *that* is the true definition of "bullet hell". XD

The Super C hack was awesome

Captain Tsubasa is the most famous soccer manga and anime in Japan.

15:34 That sudden adrenaline rush got James lol

An awesome way to spend your monday

Boy! Watching James play Super C hack was insane!

Captain Tsubasa is "Tecmo Cup Soccer", it was huge in Japan, that is why there are so many different volumes, it was a manga.

That opener was freakin' SWEET! Props to whoever put that together!

Sonic CD would be great for a JMM episode.

The "Bunny ears" to me look like Mohawks, like Keith flint from Prodigy

If I could find somebody who looks at me like Mike looks at James, everything would be wonderful :P

"Are you on a drug??? Maybe you're an asshole........." *Plot twist of the century* "Like me."

Druggy Final Fight looks interesting.

James and Mike Monday’s are the best part of Monday

The outro was pretty cool with the mug and computer. You guys do brighten up my Mondays!

"Maybe you're an asshole, like ME!!" Gawd, that bit always gets me.

do an AVGN episode for Flying Dragon : The Secret Scrolls plz plz plz! :D

Anybody has a rom for these hacked NES games? would love to play them.

Love the intro/outro, the old computer and floppy disk brought back memories.

he has my hacks from the 90s!

7:52 OwO

19 seconds, 65 Upvotes. Wow.

For that moving platform in Stairs of Doom, I think you needed to use holy water to break a floor tile so you could board the platform somewhere closer to the left side.

19:27 When you try to push up your glasses and forget you're not wearing them

CastleVania: The Blair Stair Project.

This should be interesting. Oh and can you guys play E. V. O on snes.

love the castlevania rom hacks should definitely do more of those. What a great episode! Makes me want to speedrun some of those castlevania hacks since im a speedrunner.

It's cool to see that wave of nostalgia still hitting you guys when you play! Might bust out the Snez classic and jam on some Contra 3 now!

Great episode can you do an AVGN on Bionic Commando.

Theses are the best hacks games that i haven't see so far

You made my day with this... and I've had a super rough few days. I won't bore you with the details. Thank you, seriously. I needed some nostalgic fun. You're a treasure. Never stop being you.

Thanks for always making my Mondays better. Only other 80's and 90's kids get 80's and 90's kids. This was hilarious.

these hackathon style reviews with these hacks aren't hacking it ya bunch of hacks

NES hacks are always a good decision

Thank you guys for letting my childhood loves mature with me. As my love for playing the games faded somewhat, my interest in all the back stories, making of, and trivia has grown. Couldn't figure out why I loved these bids so much now I know. You keep these things relevant for me. Thank you guys
