I realize I'm five years late but, if you play the mode where you can hurt each other, if you land the final blow on your friend you steal the life instead of it being wasted. It makes it worth it, just keep separated and if you run low on health let your friend kill you.
James will not beat the final boss alone on his present stack of lives. And there are more spike rooms ahead, too, although this is the hardest one. Maybe with continues, he'll do it? I forget how the continues work in this game, but I think they said it offers them?
also in that mode when you're low on life, you can get your friend to kill you, gaining him an extra life, and then kill him and get the life back, basically refilling your health without costing anyone to lose any lives. oldschool shit
Whoa, i never knew this life thing, this makes friendly fire even cooler. And i can't help but mention that redminus's animations are awesome. like comment and subscribe
I always did this since I was playing alone most of the time. I found out by my boredom and just wanting to practice moves on a non moving character.. but when I noticed it gave you lives, I always started the game that way when I played
I loved this game, I remember getting this as a kid. I help my step dad do yard work all weekend. He said he would get me a game. We went to kiddie city and DD2 just, came out. It was the most expensive game I ever got 64.99 he was mad, he kept trying to talk me into getting one of the 49.99 games. Me and my friends played the heck out of that game. 👍👍
I kind of like that you guys are breaking these up into two videos. It's become part of my Monday morning routine to watch these and it's easier to squeeze in before work. That said, these are always fun. Thanks for finding time to pump out more stuff for your fans. Can't wait to see more!
In all honesty, James, Double Dragon II is still an awesome game to this day even after many years later. And if you ask me, Double Dragon II was and always will be a MUCH better game than Double Dragon III ever will be.
Best NES game ever! LOL my bro always wanted to play on B mode saying that way we could refill each other's energy (which was true) but he always ended up betraying me and killing me xD
ninjanizzle If you get killed by the other player you will lose a life but he will gain one, so you can just kill him back and get your life back resulting both players having full health.
I always played this game in 2p B mode and beat up Jimmy till he was out of the game. Every time you "killed" him you got a life. So it was essentially a cheat to get 3 or 4 extra lives. - took about 10 minutes but it worked lol
"G-R-A-S-P" I still laugh at this every time I see it. This looks like it was a fun game to tackle for the two of you-- until the crap at Stage 6, anyway. Co-op beat-'em-up games are good ones to play to show how well you work together, and how much each of you remembers about the game. Hearing the personal memories, like James throwing the Linda into the wall or Mike talking about how an end boss wasn't as difficult as he remembered, just adds to the enjoyment of these videos for me. I admit that I winced a few times during close jumps and even uttered an obscenity or two as Mike struggled at the end of this segment. That's how you know that you're really into what you're watching... and I always love the fact that these videos make the viewer feel as if he/she are sitting in the same room, just watching the games being played. Admittedly, I find myself talking to my laptop screen at times, responding to a conversation that James & Mike are having, because I feel like I'm there. Here's hoping we see you guys beat this game next week!
I'm pretty sure it is "grasp" because they translated from Japanese the closest approximation they could find. Japanese has a lot more onomatopoeic sounds than English. But yes, it still looks funny.
I love how James just finishes telling Mike not to stand on the platform over the hole, and he does it and dies. You couldn't have scripted that better!
No jumping power knee? That move was the tits, and the only way I could beat the final boss. iirc, you had to press A and B together while in the lowest crouched position from a previous jump. You could string them together for extra face smashing hilarity! goodtimes.
I have to say, this is one of my all time favorite beat-em-ups. Those platforming sections wouldn't be nearly so hard if the NES just had another button, or if they had the regular attack/jump set up.
Just wanted to let u guys know if you like Mike and James dont know the grapples. When you hit your enemy 3 or 4 times, they do a crouch animation and hold their stomache. Stop punching (or kicking ) and just walk in to the enemy and a grapple is initiated. Then just hit A or B for diffrent punches and finish with left A or B, or Right A or B for diffrent throws
As a kid stage six was terrifying (just the jumps etc) and there was another one with some crazy jumping (the trap door stage) but I remember playing this daily back in the early 2000s. I got so good at this I wouldn't lose a life until the last stage. Ah those were fun memories. It's cool to see you tackle this one as this was one of my favorite NES games.
You guys should play River City Ransom next. That game is awesome! A beat'em up with RPG elements? That was a unique concept to me back in the day, but i didn't get to play the game until MUCH later.
One of the top 5 best games of all time on my list and one of the few NES games i own complete in the box, I have great memories of playing this for hours at home. I feel James and Mikes pain while watching Mike falling to his death.
Thanks for bringing back the good memories I have of this game, and the bad memories I have of that final room. Every single time I played this with my brother we got to that room without losing a life and then lost all of our lives on that room. Sometimes one of us would be it in our last life and then just die instantly on the next part. It happened so much we eventually just used game genie to get by it.
The spin kick is performed by hitting one of the attack buttons at the top height of your jump and the hair grab (with a variety of follow up combo's like knees, elbows, upward kick and flip throw) is best performed by walking forward while punching (as you need to be on top of the enemy during their hit stun state to activate). Also, hitting the forward facing attack button while kneeling (when you get up after being knocked down or after landing from a jump) lets you perform a mighty uppercut that does crazy damage and knocks down instantly and jumping forward from a kneeling state let's you perform the most damaging attack in the game: the violent knee attack. It's like a smash attack and sends enemies flying, best suited to instantly knock big guys off cliffs and ledges. Another protip: the backwards 'donkey' kick is your friend in the underwater base, as it has more reach than your punches.
or u can just kick them then grab their hair. also theres another knee attack if u move towards ur enemy and punch as theyre getting up, they get kneed in the balls and stunned. also they dont seem to be rising off the ground with the uppercut or tiger knee counters. that usually stops enemies trolling u. the tiger knee is the best move in the game, im surprised theyre not abusing it like u usually do :).
ninjanizzle Yeah, I mentioned the tiger knee as well. Essential. Come to think of it, for a game its age, it has a pretty extensive set of moves for the player to use.
Michiel Kroder yea theres 2 different knee attacks tho, u have the tiger knee and a standing knee attack u can do as the enemy is getting off the floor. the moves list is vast, thats y this is the best DD game on NES imo. in DD3 they stripped u of so many moves it just ruined the game.
I love how James warns Mike about the dangers of standing above a spike pit, then Mike falls into the spike pit right after James told him not to stand above the spike pit. Gotta love when advice is ignored like that haha.. i had that happen so many times.
Friendly fire brings an element of challenge to the game. With friendly fire enabled, it's no just "hit this guy as much as possible without running out of health." It's "hit this guy as much as possible without running out of health or hitting your teammate." You have to work as a team, like a dance. You can't just swarm a target and button mash while only keeping an eye on your health bar.
I got this game soon after it came out. This was one of my favorites, my brother and I played the hell out of it. It was a challenging game but once you got the hang of it you could blow through it pretty easily. The best parts were making guys fall out the helicopter door, tossing them off cliffs, throwing grenades back at them, etc. That's what I loved the most. There were so many elements added to give you a ton of different ways to fight. Plus, for it's time, it had one of the coolest scenes when you beat the main boss (I won't spoil it for anyone who never played or are too young to have played the game).
Mike reciting Dracula's speech was pretty creepy. Also, it was pretty funny when he said "That's what those eyes are saying to me, James." Can't wait for the conclusion!
This is my absolute favorite Double Dragon game! My brother and I played it all the time. I liked the control scheme. It really crazy in handy when the enemies would gang up on you.
i think the third one is a lot of fun, switching between the characters instead of just being billy and jimmy, and don't forget about that kick ass ending theme.
ionic0 Marty? I'm not Marty, He's a brown dog with floppy ears who seems to have a fascination with that lion Jesse. Pish I have to basically force Marty to hang out with me. He is such an adorable guy though.
To throw enemies in Double Dragon II: The Revenge, you press the A or B button that is opposite the direction you're currently facing. While grasping an enemy, if you press down and attack, you can elbow the enemy in the head, and if you press up and attack, you can kick the enemy high into the air. I used to play this game a lot... sorry if I'm giving you information you already know.
Another suspenseful classic for the Mondays vault. Can't wait for next week! I'd be all for some Battletoads! Also, don't forget about Legend of Zelda like you were talking about before. Maybe it's already been played and in the works for editing? Have fun on the movie tour :)
Pretty noob styles. Where are the KNEES and UPPERCUTS, those were the BEST things about DD2. Especially the knees, they go halfway across the screen when they get hit. I used to just do nonstop knees, there's like a lil glitch where they cannot touch you(unless they hit you in the air) because you're always crouching basically and you do another knee before you stand back up completely.
@@cj694x2 I press A & B using my index and middle finger, my thumb is under the joystick. A lot of my friend confused with the way I hold the joystick.
Hey James and Mike: great work! Your videos always take me back to my earlier days of gaming. I notice you went over a few things with this game that I might be able to clear up: To grab enemies, you just need to hit them until they hunch over and then press the D pad towards them. Usually this is 3 hits for the weaker guys and 5-6 for the "training glove" enemies and the guys with the two swords/sticks. You can do a powerful upper cut by punching once you land from a jump (I think you have to hit it when you are "kneeling" when you land before you stand up). A really cheap way to beat this game is to use the Turbo controller. I got frustrated a lot as a kid because doing that knee kick jump was so hard to time correctly (naturally, as it is the most powerful move in the game). So, using that controller, all you had to do was jump using the "turbo" A and B buttons and keep holding them...you will keep jumping and doing those knee kicks indefinitely until you let go. This almost seemed like the only way to actually beat the end boss (easily). Hopefully this was useful. I am looking forward to part 2! I might have a request for some other random/bad NES games to check out or review: American Gladiators (bad) Shadowgate (random) If you want a horrible Sega Genesis fighting game to look at... I have one word: Ballz Good luck in the future with this and thanks for all of the entertainment!
One thing interesting about mode B is if you kill the other player you get an extra life. So if you are playing alone you can kind of cheat and get a few 1 ups at the beginning by doing that.
Ah the memories. Must have been the best NES game. :) Oh, they didn't really know about the knee-jump? It rocks! (Performed by mistake on a platform jumping part)
Like James & Mike Mondays? See more game playthroughs with Mike on Twitch!
www.twitch.tv/mikemateilive
I realize I'm five years late but, if you play the mode where you can hurt each other, if you land the final blow on your friend you steal the life instead of it being wasted. It makes it worth it, just keep separated and if you run low on health let your friend kill you.
When he fell off the time and yelled fuck!!!I was rolling 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Double Dragon 1 *IS* 2 Player!!! *HOWEVER!* In certain game modes, I forget which, it's *Turn Based* like Super Mario Bros 3!!!
why do neither of you use the knee smash?
Ah, remember the 80s when we were all punching each other with brass knuckles all the time? Good times.
I played this game SO much with my friends when I was a kid...thanks for the memories!
Mike fought valiantly, but succumbed to spikes. Will James be able to avenge his friend? Tune in next week for the exciting conclusion!
same bat channel same bat time
Just what I was thinking! XD
Eduardo Luna Yeah it'll become Double Dragon Ball Z when they get to Shadow Billy and he starts shooting Ki blasts at them
Next week: Previously on Double Dragon II...
James will not beat the final boss alone on his present stack of lives. And there are more spike rooms ahead, too, although this is the hardest one.
Maybe with continues, he'll do it? I forget how the continues work in this game, but I think they said it offers them?
The best Double Dragon game. EVER.
u got dam rite!
Had to be from tradewest
Even the cutscenes were awesome.
Definitely the best one on NES.
fo sho!
"I'm going top."
"Ok. I always go bottom."
"This is fucking hard."
WTF am I watching?
You would play on mode B when you were playing alone so you can kill player 2 and take all his lives
I love double Dragon I had it on ps4 and I got the movie on my favorite list for NETFLIX.
I actually like to play mode B with my friends, it's funny to screw with them, or be screwed.
also in that mode when you're low on life, you can get your friend to kill you, gaining him an extra life, and then kill him and get the life back, basically refilling your health without costing anyone to lose any lives. oldschool shit

i use to play that game alot

*DOUBLE DRAGON II = BY FAR THE BEST BEAT 'EM UP ON THE NES AND ONE OF THE BEST GAMES OF THE CONSOLE OVERALL.*
and yet a lot of top 10s dont have it.
A lot of top tens have it.
FPietros thatll teach me to check watchmojos crappy lists.
That'll teach you to stop checking crappy lists and to focus on good ones instead.
FPietros lol yea.i watched some on utube but a lot of them didnt have this game and i was baffled. check the ones on here and ull c wat i mean.
In all honesty, James, Double Dragon II is still an awesome game to this day even after many years later. And if you ask me, Double Dragon II was and always will be a MUCH better game than Double Dragon III ever will be.
Best NES game ever!
LOL my bro always wanted to play on B mode saying that way we could refill each other's energy (which was true) but he always ended up betraying me and killing me xD
how do u refill each others energy? unless u mean by killing each other?
ninjanizzle If you get killed by the other player you will lose a life but he will gain one, so you can just kill him back and get your life back resulting both players having full health.

when i was a kid i played mc kids at chucky cheese
I love how James just finishes telling Mike not to stand on the platform over the hole, and he does it and dies. You couldn't have scripted that better!

This episode is basically my experience with this game in a nutshell--losing all of my lives at that one screen. :P
Laughed when Mike said "pickle".
Damn this game bring backs memories. I remember destroying everyone with the knee move!
I just watched the AVGN Movie with my brother today and it was awesome!
I got this for my birthday as a kid and appreciated it sooooo much. I had such loving great parents.
When I play this game, every enemy feels the wrath of my HYPER KNEE!!!

Normally don't like let's plays at all, but you guys are so entertaining to watch! Keep up the good work!
i just went through my old storage, and i found like 10 gameboy games with boxes and manuals in mint condition!
You lucky son of a bitch lol
nice wat games did u find?
***** No, just NO.
Im gonna buy new games and leave them in the storage for 10 years or until i forget. Best investment everrrrr.
I love how James warns Mike about the dangers of standing above a spike pit, then Mike falls into the spike pit right after James told him not to stand above the spike pit.

You can get 8 lives by killing the other opponent
this is bringing back alotta memories watching u two play this game
These games are so great.... until you get to the platforming stages.
That was one of my all-time favorites by far. Good memories!
I swear that last stage is the hardest stage in video game history I still have nightmares about it
I got this game soon after it came out. This was one of my favorites, my brother and I played the hell out of it. It was a challenging game but once you got the hang of it you could blow through it pretty easily. The best parts were making guys fall out the helicopter door, tossing them off cliffs, throwing grenades back at them, etc. That's what I loved the most. There were so many elements added to give you a ton of different ways to fight. Plus, for it's time, it had one of the coolest scenes when you beat the main boss (I won't spoil it for anyone who never played or are too young to have played the game).
One of the best 2p experience on the nes.
Mike reciting Dracula's speech was pretty creepy. Also, it was pretty funny when he said "That's what those eyes are saying to me, James." Can't wait for the conclusion!
10:23 "Shit..." "...Pickle." LOL
I personally enjoy watching these more than most AVGN videos.They are breezier to sit through and generally more enjoyable to watch.
Thumbs up if you're watching James and Mike: Mondays on Sunday!
👎
Still on the ad before and I'm excited. So many memories of playing with this with my brother and sister. :)
Cinemassacre the Abobo in the helicopter looks like the dude from Machete 😄😄😄😄😄
HAHAH I LOVE when Mike gets mad because its the same amount of anger I displayed when I was 8 years old
Wow this uploaded pretty early
It's not even Monday!
*****
It is here
It's monday where I live :)
Sorry,I live in California.
It's still not even monday where I am.
This is my absolute favorite Double Dragon game! My brother and I played it all the time. I liked the control scheme. It really crazy in handy when the enemies would gang up on you.
Pro tip... Press the pause button when the door opens in the chopper and wait 3 seconds and unpause the door immediately closes lol
I. never knew that🤔
I'm surprised that they barely use the flying knee move! I love the sound it makes and it's super powerful :D
Hard jumps, insta-kill spikes, and disappearing platforms? How did Stage 6 turn the game into a Mega Man game?
i think the third one is a lot of fun, switching between the characters instead of just being billy and jimmy, and don't forget about that kick ass ending theme.
The rage is real...
Love it!!
Good game btw..
FUCKING FUCK FUCK!!
One of my favorite games . One of the best ever. Love that spinning kick.
Anyone know is AVGN is still going or is it over with?
Still going, with the release of the film he has been super busy.
you would be here this early :)
ionic0
What do you mean?
Taylor Kennedy
sorry marty i have no idea what you're talking about o3o
ionic0
Marty? I'm not Marty, He's a brown dog with floppy ears who seems to have a fascination with that lion Jesse. Pish I have to basically force Marty to hang out with me. He is such an adorable guy though.
My favorite doubledragon game
Would pay a generous sum for a Double Dragon 2 update with a few additional levels.
To throw enemies in Double Dragon II: The Revenge, you press the A or B button that is opposite the direction you're currently facing. While grasping an enemy, if you press down and attack, you can elbow the enemy in the head, and if you press up and attack, you can kick the enemy high into the air.
I used to play this game a lot... sorry if I'm giving you information you already know.
Don' t get over the hole.... Hmm that is exactly what i meant... :D Great Part!
I lol'd at when James was laughing about Brass Knuckles. That laugh was funny.
A game so hard, one of its boses is 4 moving platforms.
I can't believe James hasn't finished this game. even I have finished it when I was a kid.
James & Mike's button mash-a-palooza.
Sorry Mike, but I can't help but laugh when you fell on those spikes at the end!
Mike is so funny when he rages.
I really enjoy these J&MM videos. Thanks, guys!
I love this game and still have the cartridge, but the jumping parts always killed me. That water part & floating platform part are the WORST.
Not nearly as bad as Ninja Gaiden.
RetroSteve or ghost n goblins
" I'm shitting bricks "...
Right with you James, that was superbly tense!
Speaking of Double Dragon, they should play Battletoads & Double Dragon corssover on NES/SNES
Another suspenseful classic for the Mondays vault. Can't wait for next week! I'd be all for some Battletoads! Also, don't forget about Legend of Zelda like you were talking about before. Maybe it's already been played and in the works for editing? Have fun on the movie tour :)
Pretty noob styles. Where are the KNEES and UPPERCUTS, those were the BEST things about DD2. Especially the knees, they go halfway across the screen when they get hit. I used to just do nonstop knees, there's like a lil glitch where they cannot touch you(unless they hit you in the air) because you're always crouching basically and you do another knee before you stand back up completely.
I love that button smashing sound :) get me right back to the 80's
3:20 GET TO THE CHOPA!!
The goddamn sound from the Hurricane Kick. We would have to pause the game from laughing so hard. Great game!
Would you two ever consider doing the Battletoads/Double Dragon Crossover game?
This game is great. There's a NES version, but the game is also on the SNES and Sega Genesis. Hope they can play the SNES version someday.
Alex Pf I love the NES version. The graphics are killer. I'd actually rather see them do that version but they're all pretty good.
"you have to punch him, but.... ah... punch slower" - james
best moment in the video. great work as always !
the backwards kick helped to fight off opponents when surrounded, which was a fatal flaw of many beat 'em ups where you'd be fucked once surrounded.
lmfao
"They'll never escape from us."
*next line*
"The chopper escapes into the neon-filled night."
Wonder if you'll ever take a look on "Kabuki Quantum Fighter" (NES)
That's a weird, but cool game. Reminds me of the NES Batman game in term of gameplay mechanics.
yeah
the hyper uppercut and hyper knee made even the difficulty for me in this game. love the final boss fight in this game.
One big guy looks like Arnold but abobo with this hair reminds Danny Trejo xD
Rocha
lmao, I love that ending, James is trying SO HARD not to laugh. I'd be pissing myself if I were there. I'm pissing myself just wathing here xD
I hope you guys do a Ducktales playthrough.
Mike's reactions/frustrations always bring back memories of how i reacted playing these games haha. Some things just never change i guess!
On the last part, just jump as soon as the platform starts blinking. Then you'll make it.
The problem with that game is you have to press B and A at the same time to jump and it doesn't always work when you want. I hated that shit.
@@cj694x2 I press A & B using my index and middle finger, my thumb is under the joystick. A lot of my friend confused with the way I hold the joystick.
Hey James and Mike: great work! Your videos always take me back to my earlier days of gaming. I notice you went over a few things with this game that I might be able to clear up:

You can do a powerful upper cut by punching once you land from a jump (I think you have to hit it when you are "kneeling" when you land before you stand up).
A really cheap way to beat this game is to use the Turbo controller. I got frustrated a lot as a kid because doing that knee kick jump was so hard to time correctly (naturally, as it is the most powerful move in the game). So, using that controller, all you had to do was jump using the "turbo" A and B buttons and keep holding them...you will keep jumping and doing those knee kicks indefinitely until you let go. This almost seemed like the only way to actually beat the end boss (easily).
Hopefully this was useful. I am looking forward to part 2!
I might have a request for some other random/bad NES games to check out or review:
American Gladiators (bad)
Shadowgate (random)
If you want a horrible Sega Genesis fighting game to look at... I have one word:
Ballz
Good luck in the future with this and thanks for all of the entertainment!
One thing interesting about mode B is if you kill the other player you get an extra life. So if you are playing alone you can kind of cheat and get a few 1 ups at the beginning by doing that.
gurvmlk yes, this works too.
You my friend have a Awesome video game, right there i could play this 8 times over and never get bored of it.
i would love to play this game but unfortunately I have no fingers
Double dragon 1 was not 2 player simply because o the release date and not fully understanding how to program 2 players into it. True Fact!
Thumbs up if any of you guys would like James and Mike do Shovel Knight :D
Great childhood memories with this game
"This is my favorite thing to do"
"Punching a woman in the face?"
CAREFUL MIKE! TUMBLR IS WATCHING!
Aaahhh good ole DD2. I played this game at least once a week for a year, after getting this game for my birthday.
I didn't know James had a tattoo.
You've been able to see it in pretty much every _James & Mike Mondays_ .
He needed it for the Big Rigs Commercial
Lord Fuckwad He's had it beforehand. Why the hell do you think someone would get a permanent tattoo for a video?
Ah the memories. Must have been the best NES game. :)
Oh, they didn't really know about the knee-jump? It rocks! (Performed by mistake on a platform jumping part)
There are few moves in any game more satisfying that catching the big enemies with the flying knee
