What you said regarding streaming being like having a friend over while you play games is exactly why I only watch streams or let's plays with commentary. It really is the closest thing to sitting on the couch gaming with friends, especially when the games you liked were predominantly single player. I remember pulling all nighters on weekends, drinking coffee and taking turns grinding through the FFs or whatever other RPG we could get our mitts on. Fun times.
31:38 Mike gives a passionate speech about the back and forth dynamic between chat and himself and all the great conversations that can happen from that and is rewarded with "poop" from chat. Peak irony.
I used to smh at people watching others play COD or whatever games were popular. Then I saw guys streaming NES games I used to play. I get it now. It’s pretty impressive what some can do. Nice job, Mike.
This deserves a gold medal. It's like watching a recording of a major sports event where, although you already know the outcome, you really get invested and feel the intensity.
Hey Mike! I just beat/played Castlevania 3 for the 1st time for October and it is hard as hell! I watched all your TH-cam vids AFTER I beat it and holy crap you are a master. Great job 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Also, intensely funny with the long diatribe about having quality followers in the chat, having an acutal interest in retro gaming and Mike gladly having fewer viewers with more insightful questions .. then somebody writes poop in the chat
This was always my fave of the trilogy for NES. Congrats dude. That was one of the most elegant battles that I’ve ever seen aside from my own. I’m going to start streaming soon. You and James are what I could’ve become had I been proficient in computers.
Another great video Mike, i own the Castlevania collection on my ps5 but only managed to finish super Castlevania haha, played the 3rd game once and just couldn't do it so you doing a no death run is great stuff man 😎.
So I just beat Castlevania 3 on PC with save states, (Castlevania Collection) and WOW, I did not expect it to be THAT difficult. Were those meant for the kids or some sort of multi-task operation-oriented savants?
Mike u are the maverick of the game playing world highway to the danger zone when it comes to grinding through hard ass games no death in this game that's no joke
Youve grown on me so much over the years keep doing you, it’s obvious you dont do it for the views because you dont stream the hype games you stream random ass sh?t and its dope and you crack me up I’ve avoided twitch for so long but i got it because thats the best way to see ya thanks bud
Say shake. And if it was there I could do you. And if it wasn't a little, then it wouldn't have any effect in a while and not a bad one go gamer to get the red guard down and get the red
Hey Mike, do you know how the 1-up system works with points in Castlevania III? I know you can find 1-ups hidden in the walls, but you can also get 1-ups from acruing points it seems. I thought you get a 1-up after every 20,000 points, because that's when I got my first one. But at 40,000 points, no new 1-up. I can't seemt find the answer anywhere. How does the point system work with 1-ups in this game? Love the content, currently trying to get through the Alucard route.
MODERN GAMES YOU COULD TRY MIKE 1) Terminator: Resistence 2) Lego DC Super Villians 3) The Devision 2 4) Assassins Creed Valhalla 5) Resident evil Village
Mike do you James or Erin know any guys who I can trust to look at my aging Nintendo consoles to see what is up with their performance issues? I was hoping I can find someone to look at my old N64 as I have issues when not using it for long and was wondering if they can reduce the issue and see if it can be repaired
Thanks mike. Yea my aniety gets so bad to where im just very down. Idk if you have ever been that way. Either way i love your vids and im glad i can watch to help keep my mind off things.
What video game would I want to be in? Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball? You'd have to rename the game though because there would be no volleyball.
Hey Mike! You say beating a game with a turbo controller requires the disclosure of a turbo controller, so I am has question, please. Do I have to disclose the dog bone controller? That's what I use primarily with my top loader. "I beat Mario 3, but I cheated by using the dog bone....." ?
Great stream, and awesome accomplishment, especially the last 3 levels, grim reaper, doppelgänger, and dracula are so difficult, not to mention the levels themselves! Also wanted to say, in one of the Castlevania 3 streams you did the whip sounded but didn’t attack. I’ve had that happen before, it seemed to occur right when I was landing from a fall/jump and tried to attack. It could be a glitch in the game and not a bad controller.
@@mikematei It was the 2nd part of the loop 2 stream on Twitch, I remember it was on the doppelgänger stage, that horrible bird mer-men water part. I remember you complaining that Trevor didn’t attack when you hit the button. I’ve had that happen before, I thought it was a glitch, maybe it wasn’t.
Seriously no idea how to message you proper to make suggestions, but on your Super hot stream today you asked for a modern game you may like... You really need to play Returnal. It combines 3rd person shooter, bullet hell and roguelike all-in-one seems like something you would get a big kick out of and has a very 80s sci-fi feel. Pretty much it's almost like a spin-off of the original alien movie in the ways of presentation
30:19 my favorite screen in an NES game, it's just amazingly awesome..... The Castlevania series IMO has the best graphics, color and music. And a record number of times streamed by a certain TH-camr :O Stage 9-4 was impressive.

Only 1 minute into the video and Mike is already starting arguments with people he made up in his head! You know this is going to be top tier content!
This was SO intense!! I'm so happy you did it!
Me 2
Hold your horses. Mike is mine
Your turn now, perhaps? Lol
Intense for Mike maybe. We all know Erin would have beaten it, whip only, loop 2 using the NES zapper...with her feet.
@@ohkll9896 I feel like she would have used the power pad!
31:38 Mike gives a passionate speech about the back and forth dynamic between chat and himself and all the great conversations that can happen from that and is rewarded with "poop" from chat. Peak irony.
"After this fight the Matei name shall be honored by all people." - Congrats from Greece.
I've never watched any footage of Castlevania 3. This was cool man. Brought me back to childhood playing the first Castlevania title
I used to smh at people watching others play COD or whatever games were popular. Then I saw guys streaming NES games I used to play. I get it now. It’s pretty impressive what some can do. Nice job, Mike.
I’ve beaten this game once and daaamn it was hard. No death?!
Respect to you Mike, that’s hardcore as fk
Thanks. It was one of the harder challenges I've ever done.
Funny you mention Dracula's hometown. I'm actually headed there today.
😃 take a picture watching me beat Dracula from draculas castle
Great job giving this game a little justice for all the death and anger it's caused.
Much props for Trevor only! I've beaten this game plenty of times....but Trevor only is INSANE!
This deserves a gold medal. It's like watching a recording of a major sports event where, although you already know the outcome, you really get invested and feel the intensity.
Nice job, especially Trevor only! When not using Grant (who is OP in the Japanese version), I always play the Famicom version with superior musics.
I get all of my stress vicariously through watching Mike's no death runs. good run man
Watching all these Castlevania streams has been 10x more satsfying than anything mcu or whatever tv crap these days. Really proud of Mike
Great job Mike truly an accomplishment. No death running this brutally hard game is insanity
Hey Mike! I just beat/played Castlevania 3 for the 1st time for October and it is hard as hell! I watched all your TH-cam vids AFTER I beat it and holy crap you are a master. Great job 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
I want to see Mike do a CV3 second quest no death whip only run.
Also, intensely funny with the long diatribe about having quality followers in the chat, having an acutal interest in retro gaming and Mike gladly having fewer viewers with more insightful questions .. then somebody writes poop in the chat
This was always my fave of the trilogy for NES. Congrats dude. That was one of the most elegant battles that I’ve ever seen aside from my own. I’m going to start streaming soon. You and James are what I could’ve become had I been proficient in computers.
Awesome job 👍 😎 mike been busy this year always happy to watch your vid keep up the great work rock on.
Mike seems even angrier than usual
Congrats Mike Matei 😊
lmfao Mike, you're the best. Never change man
Very hard, I need to try this. You're a legendary Castlevania III player, good job, and good video.
Another great video Mike, i own the Castlevania collection on my ps5 but only managed to finish super Castlevania haha, played the 3rd game once and just couldn't do it so you doing a no death run is great stuff man 😎.
I was in the chat when this history was made. And you did it all without the help of Chekov. Congrats.
He is always watching through my window
Note For Future Streams - Don't type full paragraphs and don't ask if sub weapons are being used. Congrats Mike!!!!
🤣
This run is amazing! The deathless run appears to be a daunting task. But you did it.
Easily the best of the old school style Castlevania games.
100% agree
Jesus Christ Mike is effing good at video games!
It’s official Mike is awesome but he may have lost his damn mind 🤣
awesome mike. it was sweaty
i cant imagine mindlessly grinding a game repeatedly for this kind of goal (but im the fool that watched all of it)
So I just beat Castlevania 3 on PC with save states, (Castlevania Collection) and WOW, I did not expect it to be THAT difficult. Were those meant for the kids or some sort of multi-task operation-oriented savants?
Just played this with save states and rewind function. STILL wasn’t easy LOL
Facts!!!
I will never stop laughing about the voices in your head.
Hell of a win, dude.
Awesome stuff mike. I love both castlevania and ninja gaiden. Question have you ever played dynowarz on the NES?
Yes. Look during my nes a-z streams
Good job Mike! streams helping me out a lot.
Mike u are the maverick of the game playing world highway to the danger zone when it comes to grinding through hard ass games no death in this game that's no joke
The legends of Mike
This really is the video game from hell
Youve grown on me so much over the years keep doing you, it’s obvious you dont do it for the views because you dont stream the hype games you stream random ass sh?t and its dope and you crack me up I’ve avoided twitch for so long but i got it because thats the best way to see ya thanks bud
Thank you 😎
And isn't it boring to see almost every person who plays games playing the same games?
I'd rather watch these kinds of games any day.
Great job! Now I believe that a no death Kickle Cubical stream is in order!
I'd be down for that for sure.
Wow, really insane and impressive, great job mike
There's no way in hell I would attempt this on this game. Great job, Mike
That was incredible. Good job man.
This was awesome! Love your content!
Say shake. And if it was there I could do you. And if it wasn't a little, then it wouldn't have any effect in a while and not a bad one go gamer to get the red guard down and get the red

Love the content, currently trying to get through the Alucard route.
Great challenge mike I feel like my favorite stream that I seen is the Atari 5200 I love the console and the Atari 2600 too 👍💯
MODERN GAMES YOU COULD TRY MIKE
1) Terminator: Resistence
2) Lego DC Super Villians
3) The Devision 2
4) Assassins Creed Valhalla
5) Resident evil Village
I just looked at footage of terminator resistance on youtube and it looks like a lot of characters talking at the screen.
This was quite an achievement! No death Trevor only Is great!
I watch every video on the tubes thank you 🙏
Modern day Anakin anger seethes within you.
Watched it all. From start to finish, and it was badass. Good job, Mike.
Now try : no hit, no death, trevor only, no sub-weapons, no jump, pacifist, 1 hand, blindfolded, low%, no glitch and no swears
Maybe No Hit, No Death, Trevor only, no subweapons. Thats as far as I can imagine is possible for me. (also i know its a joke)
@@mikematei good luck then if you try it someday.
This is insane. I died probably close to 500 times just beating the game regular
I was there at one point years back. Takes practice.
He does it!
brilliant content! top class streamer no doubt. gg!
Inputting help me at the start of the game gives you 10 lives instead of 3 in this game. In the U.S. released version at least.
Mike do you James or Erin know any guys who I can trust to look at my aging Nintendo consoles to see what is up with their performance issues?
I was hoping I can find someone to look at my old N64 as I have issues when not using it for long and was wondering if they can reduce the issue and see if it can be repaired
Hey mike thank you for just streaming games. I watch your new and old videos. It makes me smile when im sad thank you.
Thank you for watching and glad it's able to help 😃
Thanks mike. Yea my aniety gets so bad to where im just very down. Idk if you have ever been that way. Either way i love your vids and im glad i can watch to help keep my mind off things.
Congrats dude! I'm glad I caught it live. It got pretty damn intense in the end.
Man, I want ten tacos while watching this no death run now
What video game would I want to be in? Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball? You'd have to rename the game though because there would be no volleyball.

u are a machine ! amazing ^^
Mike takes no shit from the chat xD
Great run to watch.
Love this. Watching from Sweden.
Thanks for watching. 🦆

Weird. What stream was that? I dont remember

I’m good at castlevania but castlevania 3 I suck at! Awesome game
But mega hard! Props to you mike!

The Real AVGN
Saw the live stream. Good job, Mike! The Grim Reaper is a bitch.
💀🪦
Yooooo mike really love how u could care less about who watches or what u say!! Always liked that about u it’s not that serious this TH-cam shit!!
30:19 my favorite screen in an NES game, it's just amazingly awesome..... The Castlevania series IMO has the best graphics, color and music. And a record number of times streamed by a certain TH-camr :O Stage 9-4 was impressive.
There are a lot of nice screens. Very cinematic game
Hey Mike how about rondo of blood or super castlevania 4 no whip?
Someday that will happen I'm sure.
Sweet also I don't know if you heard of Clive barkers Jericho on ps3 it's a good horror game from what I remember u should check that out sometime
Mike is getting a lil close to 100K subs? Everyone try to have a good Holiday weekend! 🇺🇲
I can't even beat the game, and you can do it without dying lol
Mike is going to have a catatonic breakdown very soon if he doesn’t have a holiday soon. It’s going to be very funny but sad at the same time
No! More video games!! Honestly, I take several out of town vacations a year. I'm good. Also, I do this for fun anyway.😄
@@mikematei that’s great to hear as you’re a very passionate person
If I was a video game, I'd be an NES cart. So people would blow me before ramming me into the console.
I would choose to live in River City Ransome. As an innocent shop owner trying to make a living. Art would Imitate Life.
Now you got to do no hit castlevania. Then no whip. Then no jump. Then you gotta beat it without even turning the game on.
Watched this live and it was glorious. One of the best things I've watched in gaming
The world needs more like red-ass Mike.
Brooo that was epic, I felt anxious the whole vid even if I knew you wouldn't die lol. Great feat Mike!
Mike has a nervous breakdown
Great improvement. 6 hours to 1 hour
Hell Yeah!
lol cracks me up
Did you ever finish Yo Noid?
Respect
This game has the best score of any NES game. Ever. Go ahead and fight me if you think otherwise, and I'll tell you why you're wrong.
Its super good
Hey, I watched that live! It was an amazing stream!
You probably burned 500 calories just playing an hour of that game
Cool. Maybe Beavis and Butt-Head SNES. Decent game
1:04:56 - thats what SHE said.
The champion of Castlevania 3 strikes back! Awesome job!
People ask weird questions about your Atari x-rated games. I don't think it was a joke
One of the best games on the NES love this game
