My favorite in the series, this game hella traumatized me as a child. I'm surprised James never played this game as you're a horror buff, Splatterhouse is such an underrated scary series.
I absolutely love the emotional progression in this episode. The beginning was "Well, this game is very different than 2, I'm not sure I like it" and slowly led up to "HAHHAA THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!!!" :)

+Cinemassacre if you don't mind my suggestion, why not have Bootsy play Shadowgate on NES with you two before october is over? its definately got its fair share of spookiness as well as alot of tension that any one wrong move and you could die in it.
I love how they started saying this game was the Double Dragon 3 of Splatterhouse and ended up saying this game is awesome. Man I loved this game when I was a kid.
I used to have this game when I was younger and that time limit used to piss me off. You have to the end of each stage within a certain amount of time or you'll get one of the "bad endings". As a horror fan, I really wanted to take my time and explore each level as there's quite a few rooms and sequences that are homages to horror films but if you want that "good ending"; You have to memorize the stages and haul Rick's ass to the end of each one.
+Pimp Master Broda (Voice Trolling) Its like Abes odyssey, When i was younger, I rented the game, didnt know what it was all about, being impatient i didnt read the manual, it wasnt until half way through the game that i realized i was supposed to be saving the green bastards..... Fun though....
Hey friend do you mind elaborate on the ending. From the video it seemed you get a cut scene right when time hits zero. Then you can keep playing until next stage. How does it affect the game ending if on some stage you make the time and on some you don't. Or if you don't make it for any of the stages. Are there differences?
Would love to see you guys play night trap on James and Mike Mondays!!!! Be perfect October, unless you guys have them pre-recorded for the whole month already.
Watching these two slowly warm up to this fantastic classic is a real pleasure. Splatterhouse 3 deserves a very specific category; something slightly more than just a horror game. James & Mike go from confused, to dissatisfied, to amused, and slowly they find themselves sitting right behind the gore-slick mask of Rick. Just think, IGN would have published their review after the opening stage. Great video . . .
The problem with the great Genesis games is that nobody really knows about them. How many people played Crusader of Centy? How many people played Shining Force II? How many people played Gunstar Heroes, Ecco the Dolphin? Shadowrun? Comix Zone. Cyborg Justice. The Phantasy Star games. There were some legendary games on that system, but nobody really knows about a lot of them except for people who had the system.
+Marcel Weber haha well I rented it when I was a kid, and I remember loving it, but who knows now? The Genesis stuff was a lot more experimental and weird, but that's what I loved about it. I mean...Ecco the dolphin?? What a crazy idea but a great game. The Sega CD has some amazing stuff on it that nobody really played. Dark Wizard. Vay. Snatcher. Mansion of Hidden Souls. Popful Mail.
+Sonny Fernandez alone for Snatcher the SEGA CD was worth it. Hideo Kojima man^^ I bet not many people even know that he made other games than Metal Gear lol. thank god hes not with Konami anymore. i cant see Metal Gear anymore. now lets see what hes doing next^^
I personally think the Sega Genesis was the master of scrolling beat em ups. I loved golden axe, streets of rage and a few others. The Nintendo was the master of the RPGs for sure. Each console holds a special place in my heart. I think both were power houses of it's time. Constantly trying to one up each other and both coming about with memorable games.
Doing the spin kick in this game, helps a lot. Learning the special moves allows you to beat the enemies faster and thus having more time on the clock.
I'm so "glad" you guys made it to this Splatterhouse. this was the only one i played as a kid and i remember it giving me the creeps like no other (specifically the genre and music). this is still a classic in my eyes
Jonathan the new one is not bad. Not great but i had alot of laughs with it but the fact that you can unlock the okd ones made it worth every penny to me
Next to violent and gory games like Mortal Kombat, Splatterhouse and Doom, it's strange that a goofy game like Night Trap was even a factor in the creation of the ESRB.
I'm hyped for the AVGN Halloween episode. I predict 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' is finally going to be defeated. I want to see co-op for Zombies Ate My Neighbors or A Nightmare on Elm Street.
+luffy11234 re-re-revisited. I mean, they did have a breakthrough when they had the group play on it, they discovered how to dodge the bomb. I just wanna see him beat it!
One of my favorite on the genesis at 90's, and I've found at that time the 1º Splatterhouse game on genesis too, and one on NES. Nice memories. Thank you guys.
For certain genres I prefer Genesis. As much as I love Turtles in Time, the Streets of Rage series comes out on top for me. And the 6 button controller made it more ideal for fighting games.
The Splatterhouse videos may be my favorite continuation videos of James and Mike Mondays. From James saying "I was like duh duhhhh duhhhh," To Mike saying "Can't get enough of that sugar criiiissspp,"
James listed off a ton of great SNES RPGs - it'd be cool to see you look into some Genesis RPGs - Shining Force, Phantasy Star, and especially Beyond Oasis.
Maybe you know this but the timer was to get diferent endings such as good or bad,the music of this game is fantastic,the intro makes me wanna cry of how epic it is.
This game is awesome, if you want a really challenge play the game in "game master" difficulty and try to beat all stage in time to get the best ending.
The time limit isn't for yourself, it's for the victims of the monsters. Since you didn't make it to Jennifer in time, you can see the monster feasting upon her corpse in the background before you fight him.
You know it is funny to me everybody this is Sega Genesis but if they've ever play Shining Force or fancy store to they are so epic that people end up quitting before they finish it that is a good game if you get so frustrated that you want to play more but you have to take a day or two of a break Sega Genesis what more do I say
+SupaNintendoGirl Wait till you see *Legion* or *Beelzebub* (from _Castlevania: Symphony of the Night_); or the *Forgotten One* (from _Castlevania: Lament of Innocence_)! Maggots galore fosho, let-me-tell-ya! 'XS
Splatterhouse 3 (typos ignored) made me feel like I was experiencing something dark and very taboo back in the day. Knowing that your family was in peril made the experience nerve-racking and sinister. I wish I could reach through this video & explain the nuances of the game while they played it. This game gets very tough ad you progress. Splatterhouse 3 is one of those games I would take with me anywhere if I had to pick 10 games to play til these old thumbs succumb to arthritis . . . Cool video . . .
2 years before my inocence was completely destroyed with Mortal Kombat my ideal hero was already Rick from Splatterhouse. Splattering monster faces with a monster :') Such good memorys
It was either SNES or Sega and I chose Sega because my cousins said it was more grown up. Snes has some great games I can't deny that, but I didn't own one till way late.
aiiiiiiiiiiit listen! I grew up on this jam! my bro bought it in the US after we had the second one as a rental sometime before. god knows I'm super thankful to have been a kid in the 90's.
Damn this game brings me back. This game was one of the few Genesis games that I have actually beaten way back in the day. Scared the shit out of me countless times as well, but beating the final boss in the end....so satisfying... If I could play this game again, I would in a heartbeat.
Why does it have to become a MD/Genesis vs SNES all the time. The genesis was a great machine. There are so many good games. Phantasy Star IV and Shining Force if you want RPG's. Truxton and Darwin if you want shooters. Aladdin and Sonic if you want platforms. As much as I love the MD/Genesis I respect the SNES. Stop comparing and enjoy both.
If you didn't already find out, you don't fight the real true end boss unless you beat each level in the fastest time. I did it once back in 90's. Great game.
There is no "original" thing. There's "The Thing from Another World". However, due to the dumb prequel, we actually do need to differentiate between the good movie and the bad movie. Actually, the 1982 film is far more accurate to the novella it was based on ("Who Goes There?") than "The Thing From Another World".
You guys have no idea how deep this game gets. There are hidden stages and special moves, it's incredible and super violent. Protip, when you transform, press < > < B.
Just a few things you guys missed, you actually have the map from the beginning, you can only access it from pause after you clear a room, the book you picked up is a secret item (used to activate something else) you have an open map because there are secret pathways, bonus items and weapons, and other useful secrets, however, too much exploration takes up too much time, and depending on how quickly you make it to each boss determines whether the family member related to that level lives or dies (the main mission is to save everyone in the mansion)
Imo when it comes to consoles Streets of Rage 2 is DEFINITELY better than Final Fight. But the arcade version of FF makes it pretty much even for me. SoR2 has waaay better music no doubt, but the appeal of being to actually throw dudes and piledriver their shit in on command is wicked! Stuff like that. FF also has bonus stages. "Oh, my god/car!"
Old comment reply but I have to disagree. Final fight 3 is much better. Perfect hit detection,special moves and alternate paths instead of just being linear. The ninja warriors again was a pretty good one too.
to be honest, I think is a bit unfair to compare those 'epic' snes rpgs (final fantasy III, legend of zelda, chrono trigger) with the genesis games, because since the beginning the premise of the genesis was to be an action console, you know, with blast processing and stuff. So they never got into rpg slow-typeof games. Its not like they couldn't do games like that. Its just they didnt want to, they thought people who want to buy the genesis want to play fast super action games. Just my opinion. Sorry if english is broken.
+Johns-Santos is it really necessary to put a genesis rpg list here... shining force,phantasy star,vermilion,ect... (real rpg's btw not like your titels that appart from FF are action "rpg's"...)
+juanbarlos most of these titles already had a nes version. the fanbase was already build. Genesis game didnt. And yet people compare than. So with that I can call the genesis a truly rival even with less?
Hey guys. Before talking shit about game could you at least open the fucking manual. (You have the map right from begining, timer only affects the ending and secret stages). Also there is a special move (forward, backward, forward + B). Good video anyway.
Splatterhouse 3 is the shit, the intro is amazing, multiple endings, really creepy horrors to fight, and a finale plot twist that you two are not aware of... this game may not be too hard to win without time concerns, but it is ungodly in difficulty to finish the game within the time limit.
+mrmong Or Ranger X, Gunstar Heroes, Beyond Oasis, Comix Zone, Chakan, Toe Jam & Earl, Kid Chamelon, Landstalker, and Contra Hard Corps. All underrated gems..
In my best "Mike's common Nerd impression" impression: 'Neeeeeeh, 1980ies "The Thing" is NOT the original!' :) Look it up, then do a Monster Movie Madness episode if you haven't already. Keep up the good work, you're making my Monday mornings. And I hope there will be many more. ;)
+Ryan Beers probably isnt all that available, and he did a game before that, he played Silver Surfer and finished it, but it wasnt labeled as Bootsy Beats, his segment is new, so please exercise some patience.
Radeo a very narrow number, but what's impressive is the ones he's dominated, Battletoads? Silver Surfer? that's like 2 of the hardest NES games in the whole library, Bootsy is a gaming masochist... o.o
Radeo that i cant disagree with at all, that is very true, hence why i dont really "Complete" games that often, only games i love a lot, like Streets of Rage 2.
I think that the Genesis also have games that doesn't have an equivalent on the SNES. Shining Force, Splatterhouse ofc, Gunstar Hero, Comix zone etc. Good video guys!
forward, backward, forward and punch, Rick will kick everything around him, it does not drain life nor special, without it it's hard to make stuff in time to see the true ending. There is also one special item each stage, if you collect them and get to the boss in time an alternate ending is unlocked.
When you're in Mutant Rick form you can do a special move where you shoot out tentacles or something from your body in all directions. It's a bit tricky to pull off though and I can't remember the exact button combination.
Crusader of Centy is kind of different. It's a little too, I don't know, cartoony and tame? I like it but Landstalker is definitely a better example of Genesis' Zelda.
It kind of annoys me that both of the guys generalize their memories of the super nintendo. The titles james counts are great, but so was Phantasy Star IV, so was the Shining Force Series, so was Landstalker and Soleil for instance. Maybe they haven't played these games but it kinda bugs me, that they always act like the Genesis/Mega Drive hasn't had real Gems like ALTTP or Chrono Trigger. It did and it's stupid to try to "win" the console wars over 25 years later. As grown men they should know better...
Cool video and all but once again, your silly Nintendo fanboyism just shows how ignorant and closed-minded you guys are about the Genesis. "No games like Zelda on the Genesis" What is -Beyond Oasis -Crusader of Centy -Landstalker -Wonder Boy series -King Colossus Not to mention the pretentious implying that RPGs are "better" per se than action games.
Here's a horror movie reference that's easy to miss. The couple is named Rick and Jennifer in this series. In "Silent Night Deadly Night 2" that couple is also named Rick and Jennifer. "Silent Night Deadly Night 2" came out a year (or possibly less) before the original Splatterhouse.
Why in every video about genesis games you make comparisons of "how better SNES was over Genesis". You could just not play Genesis anymore. Worst part of the videos. (n)
I love the series, but you guys love to fanboy the snes. Every video where there's a genesis game involved you immediately tread back too oh you can't compete against metroid. or link to the past. popularity is subjective but you spew shit like it's written in a book of. asinine facts.
I think I read somewhere that the sales of the Genesis and SNES were the closest of any two rival consoles. For the SNES to just blow the Genesis away, there sure were a lot of Genesises sold.
+chitlitlah sales numbers and statistics can prove ultimately whose pocket ended up fatter. favoring one console over the other and proclaiming the things they do is subjective opinion. I'm merely stating they're biased and swing towards the snes side of the 16bit nut sack.
+chitlitlah the Genesis was outsold by the SNES by a decent margin but it did pretty well too. I think both systems have their positive angles, obviously the SNES has possibly the more legendary games simply because of its predominant RPG and Platforming/Adventure titles but the Genesis has probably the best roster of fighting games of any console ever imo so that's definitely something
My favorite in the series, this game hella traumatized me as a child. I'm surprised James never played this game as you're a horror buff, Splatterhouse is such an underrated scary series.
I absolutely love the emotional progression in this episode. The beginning was "Well, this game is very different than 2, I'm not sure I like it" and slowly led up to "HAHHAA THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!!!" :)

+Cinemassacre You should play Monster in my pocket, as AVGN or for J&M Mondays.
+Cinemassacre Play "Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti" for the Famicom so the series will be complete
+Cinemassacre if you don't mind my suggestion, why not have Bootsy play Shadowgate on NES with you two before october is over? its definately got its fair share of spookiness as well as alot of tension that any one wrong move and you could die in it.
+Cinemassacre You're a genesis hater, James, that's why you never knew about these :P
+Cinemassacre Shining Force, brother. I will take Shining Force over Final Fantasy 3, Link and Mario RPG any day of the week
The creepiest story segment in this game is when you save your wife on stage 1 but fail to on stage 2. You slowly see what Jennifer becomes.
+Kender Hozuki Too bad they didn't showed that.
+Kender Hozuki sadly its better let it happen, true ending if girl and child die sadly
+Kender Hozuki "Jennifer become mindless beast" moment is fkn creepy!
That still gives me nightmares.
Wait, how do you know that's the true ending?
I love how they started saying this game was the Double Dragon 3 of Splatterhouse and ended up saying this game is awesome.
Man I loved this game when I was a kid.
I was impressed by those teddy bear graphics
+Darkcrisisechoez They were kinda unfitting.
Smokey McJoint Yeh. Of course, actually.
MickyVideo I agree it was out of place
Smokey McJoint I dunno. Pointlessia is becoming a desease and I got it.
+Darkcrisisechoez im pretty sure it was a photo, hence the contrast with the hand-drown background.
I used to have this game when I was younger and that time limit used to piss me off. You have to the end of each stage within a certain amount of time or you'll get one of the "bad endings". As a horror fan, I really wanted to take my time and explore each level as there's quite a few rooms and sequences that are homages to horror films but if you want that "good ending"; You have to memorize the stages and haul Rick's ass to the end of each one.
+Pimp Master Broda (Voice Trolling) Its like Abes odyssey, When i was younger, I rented the game, didnt know what it was all about, being impatient i didnt read the manual, it wasnt until half way through the game that i realized i was supposed to be saving the green bastards.....
Fun though....
+Pimp Master Broda (Voice Trolling) hated that too, i did... much time, you do not have... save family, you must... do or do not, there is no try.
Oh it's Broda
Hey friend do you mind elaborate on the ending. From the video it seemed you get a cut scene right when time hits zero. Then you can keep playing until next stage.
How does it affect the game ending if on some stage you make the time and on some you don't. Or if you don't make it for any of the stages. Are there differences?
+Pimp Master Broda (Voice Trolling) Replay value.
This was my favorite James and Mike Mondays episode. I liked how you guys were having such a good time with this game.
Would love to see you guys play night trap on James and Mike Mondays!!!! Be perfect October, unless you guys have them pre-recorded for the whole month already.
Watching these two slowly warm up to this fantastic classic is a real pleasure. Splatterhouse 3 deserves a very specific category; something slightly more than just a horror game. James & Mike go from confused, to dissatisfied, to amused, and slowly they find themselves sitting right behind the gore-slick mask of Rick.
Just think, IGN would have published their review after the opening stage.

+Sonny Fernandez Kid Chameleon, Ghostbusters, Eternal Champions, etc...
In Europe SEGA was more popular than Nintendo so yeh we knew about all those games

Love the Splatterhouse series!! W00t!!!
Laughed my ass off at the latest one. And the fact you got to unlock the arcade versions of the earlier games blew my mind!
+Napalmburns i enjoyed it for what it was, it's $20 gameplay wise, but the unlockable trilogy is priceless.
+The Gaming Paladin The originals automatically put the value to at least 40.
+Kevster012 I never played the new Splatterhouse.. I don't really consider it part of the series. The retro ones are where it's at.
Jonathan the new one is not bad. Not great but i had alot of laughs with it but the fact that you can unlock the okd ones made it worth every penny to me
Next to violent and gory games like Mortal Kombat, Splatterhouse and Doom, it's strange that a goofy game like Night Trap was even a factor in the creation of the ESRB.
Walking Dead and James & Mike "Monday", perfect way to end my Sunday.
Mike looks genuinely relieved when they get the map. "Thank GOD we have the map"
Thanks guys for these videos. They've helped make a rather shitty year for me more enjoyable.
spamming the spin kick move and going the shortest route on each stage is the only way I know how to beat the time limit consistently
I'm hyped for the AVGN Halloween episode.
I predict 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' is finally going to be defeated.
I want to see co-op for Zombies Ate My Neighbors or A Nightmare on Elm Street.
+Intimidation He already did though
+luffy11234 There's unfinished business, this time he will beat the game on a Monday with Mike & Bootsy.
+luffy11234 re-re-revisited. I mean, they did have a breakthrough when they had the group play on it, they discovered how to dodge the bomb. I just wanna see him beat it!
+Intimidation That would be so awesome!
+luffy11234 Maybe the 5th video they do on that game will be their last.
One of my favorite on the genesis at 90's, and I've found at that time the 1º Splatterhouse game on genesis too, and one on NES. Nice memories. Thank you guys.
Loved these Splatterhouse games growing up. So cool growing up before the game rating system hit.
The Famicom version of Splatterhouse is also really under-appreciated. It's a really fun side-scroller.
This game is tough. Good luck getting the good ending with those crazy time limits.
+KWKBOX C4XT-EA7W (Game Genie)
You just have to transform and press: back, foward, back + punch, and you will beat this game easily.
+Shinesparker11 Yeah, liberal use of the spin kick is very important since it deals a lot more damage than your basic attacks.
i farted on my mothers face and she like it more than this game
+George Mcqueen Cool living you're making, Dan.
I love that you were kind of bashing the game at the beginning but by the end you were totally into it.
Many more Mondays, many more games. Make your Mondays better with Mike and James!
I've grown to really enjoy Mikes opinion and personality. Great work guys
+MCM Studios Pittsburgh Recording Studio Thanks for watching!
- Mike
+Cinemassacre Can't get enough of that sugar crisp LOL
+MCM Studios Pittsburgh Recording Studio That means your opinion is the correct opinion to have
For certain genres I prefer Genesis. As much as I love Turtles in Time, the Streets of Rage series comes out on top for me. And the 6 button controller made it more ideal for fighting games.
You don't have to kill everything. The sooner you learn that, the better off you are.
Best episode so far! Thank you J&M! :D
love your profile pic, undying is such an awesome game
+Fershizzal to spooky thou
Fershizzal
_"Stuck! Jammed! Won't budge! Locked!"_ XD
***** Such an underrated game; no doubt it would have been more popular if they went ahead and added a multiplayer, like they had planned.
+Fershizzal This game with co-op? wow That would be kinda of awesome
PANTERA!!!!!! (If anyone younger than 25 is watching you’ll never understand how great they were...the albums don’t do it justice).
i would LOVE to see you guys play the splatterhouse 2010 game next week on the 360/ps3! hands down the goreiest game i've ever played!
The Splatterhouse videos may be my favorite continuation videos of James and Mike Mondays.
From James saying "I was like duh duhhhh duhhhh,"
To Mike saying "Can't get enough of that sugar criiiissspp,"
James listed off a ton of great SNES RPGs - it'd be cool to see you look into some Genesis RPGs - Shining Force, Phantasy Star, and especially Beyond Oasis.
I loved Shining Force! Even the reboot (at least I think it is) on GBA!
Phantasy Star I to IV will always have a special places in my heart, also.
Beyond Oasis, aka The Story of Thor, is excellent! One of my favorite games!
That demonic teddy bear was a great boss. Can't wait for more episodes, many more Mondays, many more Games!
"Jennifer is destroyed by the foul beast." Maybe you can still save her, but she will never be the same.
I don't think so, I think you won't get to save her by that point and just continue on without her until you eventually find where David is.
No comment.
Maybe you know this but the timer was to get diferent endings such as good or bad,the music of this game is fantastic,the intro makes me wanna cry of how epic it is.
This game is awesome, if you want a really challenge play the game in "game master" difficulty and try to beat all stage in time to get the best ending.
The time limit isn't for yourself, it's for the victims of the monsters. Since you didn't make it to Jennifer in time, you can see the monster feasting upon her corpse in the background before you fight him.
Sega Genesis doesn't need to make sense it was phenomenal underestimated system from day one
You know it is funny to me everybody this is Sega Genesis but if they've ever play Shining Force or fancy store to they are so epic that people end up quitting before they finish it that is a good game if you get so frustrated that you want to play more but you have to take a day or two of a break Sega Genesis what more do I say
+mike mac Shining Force 2 and Phantasy Star IV are two of the most epic RPGs of the era.
Christopher Blair Landstalker.
This game is awesome, glad I grew up with it, I've been waiting for James to cover it in some capacity even if not in the NERD vids.
Headless thing with maggots is terrifying 0_0
+SupaNintendoGirl Don't you just love it? ha
+SupaNintendoGirl Wait till you see *Legion* or *Beelzebub* (from _Castlevania: Symphony of the Night_); or the *Forgotten One* (from _Castlevania: Lament of Innocence_)!
Maggots galore fosho, let-me-tell-ya! 'XS
+SupaNintendoGirl I think that boss is called the Boreworm.
+SupaNintendoGirl If you don't like it, don't try playing resident evil 4 xD
+SupaNintendoGirl Hey :o, I watch you play secret of mana, ha!
Splatterhouse 3 (typos ignored) made me feel like I was experiencing something dark and very taboo back in the day. Knowing that your family was in peril made the experience nerve-racking and sinister. I wish I could reach through this video & explain the nuances of the game while they played it. This game gets very tough ad you progress. Splatterhouse 3 is one of those games I would take with me anywhere if I had to pick 10 games to play til these old thumbs succumb to arthritis . . . Cool video . . .
*Another great episode of "James & Mike say Nintendo is better than Sega" Mondays!! :D*
yeah, sega just didn't have the games, not even Sonic was as good as Mario at the time
"James and Mike tell the GD Truth"*
They're both pathetic crap compared to PC.
Easy does it there PC Master Race, a lot of these old console games weren't even ON the damn PC at the time. Chill, bruh.
No, PC just had better alternatives. That was my point.
James, Mike..."Zombies ate My Neighbors"
That's a game you guys need to play.
I love this series. even more then AVGN
geez that Teddy bear was even creepy for me.
I remember seeing an AD for this game in a GamePro magazine when it first came out. The cover looked so bad ass!
Please play "Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti" for the Famicom!
So the series will be complete!
They did!
2 years before my inocence was completely destroyed with Mortal Kombat my ideal hero was already Rick from Splatterhouse. Splattering monster faces with a monster :') Such good memorys
I was a Sega Boy growing up, but I appreciated both systems. I knew about Splatterhouse, rented it from WEST COAST VIDEO... Anyone Else Remember them?
It was either SNES or Sega and I chose Sega because my cousins said it was more grown up. Snes has some great games I can't deny that, but I didn't own one till way late.
I'm so glad James brought back "Many more Mondays, many more games." I've missed it.
Hey Mike, can you talk about TimeSplitters. I don't think anyone on the internet has ever given it the credit it deserves
hell yeah! Timesplitters 2 is one of my all time favs.. the map maker mode was awesome
Future perfect is my all time favorite shooter
@@Cthulhusdreams I played the shit out of time splitters 2
aiiiiiiiiiiit listen!
I grew up on this jam!
my bro bought it in the US after we had the second one as a rental sometime before.
god knows I'm super thankful to have been a kid in the 90's.
this segment should be called James & Mike Give Up On Games.
I have to say, this is one of the funniest episodes you guys have done in years. I was laughing pretty hard through the whole thing.
stage 2 is called the prolapse boss
Lol
Damn this game brings me back. This game was one of the few Genesis games that I have actually beaten way back in the day. Scared the shit out of me countless times as well, but beating the final boss in the end....so satisfying... If I could play this game again, I would in a heartbeat.
Why does it have to become a MD/Genesis vs SNES all the time. The genesis was a great machine. There are so many good games. Phantasy Star IV and Shining Force if you want RPG's. Truxton and Darwin if you want shooters. Aladdin and Sonic if you want platforms. As much as I love the MD/Genesis I respect the SNES. Stop comparing and enjoy both.
If you didn't already find out, you don't fight the real true end boss unless you beat each level in the fastest time. I did it once back in 90's. Great game.
There is no "original" thing. There's "The Thing from Another World". However, due to the dumb prequel, we actually do need to differentiate between the good movie and the bad movie.
Actually, the 1982 film is far more accurate to the novella it was based on ("Who Goes There?") than "The Thing From Another World".
I've been waiting years for these guys to play this trilogy. The wait was so worth it.
Time for the reboot now? :D
orbs give you power... genesis power
This is one of those games where the faster you beat it, the better the ending...'better' as in, 'happiest ending'.
+Cinemassacre Well... there's *Splatterhouse* on *NES* too...
James and Mike- best of the best of the best, period.
Guys, have you played Manhunt? Go for it...
You guys have no idea how deep this game gets. There are hidden stages and special moves, it's incredible and super violent.
Protip, when you transform, press < > < B.
Splatterhouse 2 and 3 were both amazing. Sad that they were so rare to get.
Just a few things you guys missed, you actually have the map from the beginning, you can only access it from pause after you clear a room, the book you picked up is a secret item (used to activate something else) you have an open map because there are secret pathways, bonus items and weapons, and other useful secrets, however, too much exploration takes up too much time, and depending on how quickly you make it to each boss determines whether the family member related to that level lives or dies (the main mission is to save everyone in the mansion)
Streets of Rage 2 is better than any scrolling beat em up on the SNES
alex ojideagu Final Fight
Final Fight on the SNES is not even close to Streets of Rage 2. Even the arcade is not as good gameplay wise.
*ahem* Turtles in Time would like to have a word with you.
Imo when it comes to consoles Streets of Rage 2 is DEFINITELY better than Final Fight. But the arcade version of FF makes it pretty much even for me. SoR2 has waaay better music no doubt, but the appeal of being to actually throw dudes and piledriver their shit in on command is wicked! Stuff like that. FF also has bonus stages. "Oh, my god/car!"
Old comment reply but I have to disagree.
Final fight 3 is much better.
Perfect hit detection,special moves and alternate paths instead of just being linear.
The ninja warriors again was a pretty good one too.
The Splatterhouse games are so death metal.
to be honest, I think is a bit unfair to compare those 'epic' snes rpgs (final fantasy III, legend of zelda, chrono trigger) with the genesis games, because since the beginning the premise of the genesis was to be an action console, you know, with blast processing and stuff. So they never got into rpg slow-typeof games. Its not like they couldn't do games like that. Its just they didnt want to, they thought people who want to buy the genesis want to play fast super action games. Just my opinion. Sorry if english is broken.
+Johns-Santos I thought Zelda wasn't consider to be a RPG.
it is slow paced like a rpg
+Johns-Santos I doubt third party developers cared what sega wanted them to produce. Pretty sure it's just a coincidence.
+Johns-Santos is it really necessary to put a genesis rpg list here... shining force,phantasy star,vermilion,ect... (real rpg's btw not like your titels that appart from FF are action "rpg's"...)
+juanbarlos most of these titles already had a nes version. the fanbase was already build. Genesis game didnt. And yet people compare than. So with that I can call the genesis a truly rival even with less?
My absolute most favorite underdog game series ever made. I even LOVED the reboot. I just don't understand why it doesn't do amazing :(
Hey guys. Before talking shit about game could you at least open the fucking manual. (You have the map right from begining, timer only affects the ending and secret stages). Also there is a special move (forward, backward, forward + B). Good video anyway.
James and Mike has been going on for about 2 years now, and I somehow forgot about it. I came looking for Monster Madness and was like "OH YEAH!"
Splatterhouse 3 is the shit, the intro is amazing, multiple endings, really creepy horrors to fight, and a finale plot twist that you two are not aware of... this game may not be too hard to win without time concerns, but it is ungodly in difficulty to finish the game within the time limit.
I remember playin splatterhouse on turbo graphix 16 and being scared to death as a kid. Way ahead of its time
there is no alien soldier on SNES either, just saiyin
+mrmong Or Ranger X, Gunstar Heroes, Beyond Oasis, Comix Zone, Chakan, Toe Jam & Earl, Kid Chamelon, Landstalker, and Contra Hard Corps. All underrated gems..
RedHairdo "Quadrupling" lol yeah ok.
KingMidway got no where near the full list... aint no one got time for that
In my best "Mike's common Nerd impression" impression:
'Neeeeeeh, 1980ies "The Thing" is NOT the original!' :)
Look it up, then do a Monster Movie Madness episode if you haven't already.
Keep up the good work, you're making my Monday mornings. And I hope there will be many more. ;)
Great vid guys but whats up with bootsy beats we get one game wtf
+Ryan Beers probably isnt all that available, and he did a game before that, he played Silver Surfer and finished it, but it wasnt labeled as Bootsy Beats, his segment is new, so please exercise some patience.
Radeo a very narrow number, but what's impressive is the ones he's dominated, Battletoads? Silver Surfer? that's like 2 of the hardest NES games in the whole library, Bootsy is a gaming masochist... o.o
Radeo that i cant disagree with at all, that is very true, hence why i dont really "Complete" games that often, only games i love a lot, like Streets of Rage 2.
+The Gaming Paladin games like Battletoads and Silver surfer aren't really that impressive to beat.
I think that the Genesis also have games that doesn't have an equivalent on the SNES. Shining Force, Splatterhouse ofc, Gunstar Hero, Comix zone etc. Good video guys!
Plase play "Alien Soldier". That game is fucking good and hard.
+Adrian Lopez too much for them
Maybe they don't like them good and hard.
forward, backward, forward and punch, Rick will kick everything around him, it does not drain life nor special, without it it's hard to make stuff in time to see the true ending. There is also one special item each stage, if you collect them and get to the boss in time an alternate ending is unlocked.
Clock tower for snes
When you're in Mutant Rick form you can do a special move where you shoot out tentacles or something from your body in all directions. It's a bit tricky to pull off though and I can't remember the exact button combination.
PPPPLLLLEEEEAAAASSEEE Play the Xbox 360/PS3 Splatterhouse and Famicon's Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The remake was pretty damn fun and flashy. I would love them to give that a shot
+Beartallica86 I hope they play the remake. I'm sure they'd get a kick out of beating enemies with their own severed arm.
+Beartallica86 sadly the chance that this will happening is very slim because they dont play games that are so new.
+VirusRonsen82 its not that new it came out 5 years ago
SuperMandibleclaw you know what i mean. I never saw him go beyond the Gc era.
"Many more Mondays, many more games".......Awesome!
That teddy bear tho...:p
Genesis equivalent to Zelda would be landstalker
Or Beyond Oasis, Crusader of Centy
Crusader of Centy is kind of different. It's a little too, I don't know, cartoony and tame? I like it but Landstalker is definitely a better example of Genesis' Zelda.
WOW.. My dad used to play this game all the time. I remember the headless zombies turning into green mush, so scary! lol
It kind of annoys me that both of the guys generalize their memories of the super nintendo. The titles james counts are great, but so was Phantasy Star IV, so was the Shining Force Series, so was Landstalker and Soleil for instance. Maybe they haven't played these games but it kinda bugs me, that they always act like the Genesis/Mega Drive hasn't had real Gems like ALTTP or Chrono Trigger. It did and it's stupid to try to "win" the console wars over 25 years later. As grown men they should know better...
LOL! You guys are hilarious. I love watching these old video games from back in the day!
dat pantera shirt
\m/ \m/
I know right?!!! Who knew James had such shitty taste in music?
Ponaru Lol wtf? Shitty?.....I think not.
+Nickoji hehe :p
Ponaru Shitty as in AVGN shitty? 😁 Then yes, he has a shitty taste in music. lol 😂
Rectal prolapse boss fight, awesome.
Cool video and all but once again, your silly Nintendo fanboyism just shows how ignorant and closed-minded you guys are about the Genesis.
"No games like Zelda on the Genesis"
What is
-Beyond Oasis
-Crusader of Centy
-Landstalker
-Wonder Boy series
-King Colossus
Not to mention the pretentious implying that RPGs are "better" per se than action games.
Here's a horror movie reference that's easy to miss. The couple is named Rick and Jennifer in this series. In "Silent Night Deadly Night 2" that couple is also named Rick and Jennifer. "Silent Night Deadly Night 2" came out a year (or possibly less) before the original Splatterhouse.
Why in every video about genesis games you make comparisons of "how better SNES was over Genesis". You could just not play Genesis anymore. Worst part of the videos. (n)
It's a teddy bear! This was worth it. Hahaha, how did James get turned around. The way was edited was hilarious.
I love the series, but you guys love to fanboy the snes. Every video where there's a genesis game involved you immediately tread back too oh you can't compete against metroid. or link to the past.
popularity is subjective but you spew shit like it's written in a book of. asinine facts.
I think I read somewhere that the sales of the Genesis and SNES were the closest of any two rival consoles. For the SNES to just blow the Genesis away, there sure were a lot of Genesises sold.
***** But who gives a shit? What does it have to do with Splatterhouse 3 and if it's a good game or not? Oh, that's right, nothing at all.
Popularity can be supported by sales and worldwide, the Genesis and SNES were neck and neck. There's a reason for that.
+chitlitlah sales numbers and statistics can prove ultimately whose pocket ended up fatter.
favoring one console over the other and proclaiming the things they do is subjective opinion.
I'm merely stating they're biased and swing towards the snes side of the 16bit nut sack.
+chitlitlah the Genesis was outsold by the SNES by a decent margin but it did pretty well too. I think both systems have their positive angles, obviously the SNES has possibly the more legendary games simply because of its predominant RPG and Platforming/Adventure titles
but the Genesis has probably the best roster of fighting games of any console ever imo so that's definitely something
Love Splatterhouse and James and Mike Mondays. More please!
