Mike: try to use the chips sparingly
James: *uses all of them at once*
"Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!"
lmao yes

Vinícius Idalgo Becegato James is god awful at video games. If a game can't be won by standing in place and button mashing an all out offensive attack, he can't beat it.
Very true. Although he isn't too bad at platformers
Great game that doesn't get talked about much. The music is also legit.
Never heard of it but looks fun. Reminds me of Batman.
Hurricane Glorndorsorn ...as you fuck?
Wow, the memories of this game must have been lost in the recesses of my mind, but seeing you playing brought it all back. Even the cover made me remember of those fridays when you could rent 2 games and return on monday. Good memories.
This game is underrated as shit. Glad you guys gave it some spotlight.

Quote of the century!
Jonathan Harrold kind of want that whole segment animated.
Aaron Basham same XD. And a t-shirt made too
I don't think they realized how funny that was! LMAO!!!

This game is actually a tie in to the 1990 Japanese movie Zipang (which also the PC-Engine version of Solomon's Key is based on) and the game is named Jigoku Gokuraku Maru in Japan. The game is developed by Human Enterainment and Human Creative Group (now Spike).
One of my favorite games of all time. The art style is out of this world for the NES days and the action is super crisp.
This was actually my favorite nes game of all time. Glad to see it get some love!
Yo, dudes. You can exchange chips for life when paused. If I remember correctly it's just by pressing up and down. You def would have cleared that last boss if you traded chips for more life.
During the boss fight, you can change your chips to life and vice versa.
The Kabuki hair makes me want to replay Revenge of Shinobi.
Kabuki is more a japanese theatre rather than a dance.
Yeah, it's kind of like ballet. It's dancing; acting; and music.
Even things like the hair as a weapon are more from this performance style than any specific 'character' that people keep citing. It's somewhere between a running gag and long-standing lore.
Yeah, try to watch it on youtube it's really amazing and most of them are translate. And if you drop by japan go see it in live it's even more amazing ;)
He is kabuki man. You are semantics man.
Shmandalf if just one person discover the kabuki and enjoy it, it will be mission accomplished. Nobody criticized James or Mike, it is just a lil precision
I remember renting this game with my friend when i was 10 or 11. Awesome nostalgia moment, thanks guys.
Can you give Capcoms, Little Nemo a shot?? I used to play the shit outta that one.
Man, I remember playing this at my friend's house. It was one of those great hidden gems that no one seemed to play growing up. We rented it 2 or 3 times from Main Street Video, Bellevue, NE.
Underrated classic for the NES.
Yeah, it is.
Journey To Silius!!! Awesome game and I'd love to see you beat that
that was a childhood game that I played and fell in love with it, but could not beat it, thanks for the awesome video and memories!!
I had this game when i was a kid and i still have it to this day, one of my favorite games on the NES, the gameplay is fun and the music kicks ass. When you pause the game you are able to turn chips into health and health into chips (pending on if you want more ammo for a weapon or not)
Finally this gem gets some love. It's criminal how underated this game was.
I hope James still enjoys doing these videos. I got the impression that he was a bit bored in the beginning, but he seemed more into it at the end :-)
This game is based off a japanese movie. The cutscenes got changed for the American and European version. One of the cool features with the game is if you pause the game you can get more health or chips by pushing the D-pad up or down.
This was my favorite game back in the day. I beat it so many times.
I remember wanting to play this as a kid after reading the glowing review EGM gave it.
Kabuki is not a dance, it's a from of theatre
Kabuki is my favorite from of theatre
YESSSSS! Do Crystalis! It's my favorite NES game. One of the few I have complete in box!
He's not a kabuki, he's a metalhead!
I had this game. You should read the game story while it plays that music..... total dystopian horror. Like T2
The character’s name is even “Scott O’CONNOR”
recently bought this one - after watching Mike play it - its a really good game, yeah.
w00dyblack matinee....yeah
Who do s stuffs with you on games i like hangbang games i teach and tell of a fight at my blog you see it here?
Me too :-)
Great music good gameplay
And lots of fun!
its a cheap game too - recommended.
The Matrix way before the Matrix, LOVE this game!! I played this game for most of my life, it has great gameplay, awesome special abilities, an hp/mp swap function (during boss fights, when you press pause, you can swap your chips for HP and vice versa), cool special effects, awesome difficulty and a perfect f*cking soundtrack!! The Stage 5 track is just absolute perfection!
This game was most definitely the inspiration for the Shantae series.
Evan Lefavor . Thank you God
Head Banging Bouncing Pixelated Breast Simulator! :)
Yup, this is the origin of the Hair Whipping Technique
Yeah Shantae!
I'm kind of sad Mike and James don't know about Shantae, or haven't mentioned it in the video.
I fucking love this game. Had as a kid, still have it now.
@Mike I usually don't comment on CZcams videos but as you were fighting cyber Audrey I was laughing my butt off because I felt your pain. It brought back those memories of when I was a kid playing games like Batman and Ninja turtles, and my nerves and adrenaline was pumping so much that I would have to turn my baseball cap around and when I did that I wasn't messing around anymore
Kevin Painter like Lincoln Hawk does in the 1987, arm wrestling movie "Over The Top" starring Sylvester Stallone.
There's a trick you can use during boss battles: if you pause the game during them, you can press up or down to convert your chips into life and vice-versa.
Holy fuck! One of if not my favorite NES games
The beginning of this episode, when Mike says what game they are gonna play, and James is looking at it. Awwwwwwwww that face!
Video games are art in form of Storytelling, Musical Composition, Graphical Design and maybe hundred other things.
This game is fucking tits! Can't believe you're playing it, the memories are flooding back.
Metal Storm would be a cool game to review. It really should have gotten a sequel.
I've finished this game insane amount of times. I absolutely loved it as a kid...good old times :)
I love how they kept using basic spell when you get upgraded versions after each level :D
Literally the best Kabuki-themed platformer on the NES. MAN i fucking loved this game.
Video games encompass many different art styles, like music and graphics, with the added difficulty of incorporating fun interactivity.
Mike is apparently channeling Bronson Pinchot a lot today.
Wasn't this game heavily featured on Video Power? I remember this and RoboCop on every show.
I had this one when I was a kid. One of the latest games for the nes.
yes!!!! I totally remember this game but forgot the title!!! I remember he makes this "yuuuuuu" noise. Is it when he uses his hair? it's a grunt you will never forget xD. Yes Crystalis is amazing I still own it!!!!
lol out of chips... I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH!!! I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH!!! James Beat him with one health life!!! whos yo boi?!?!?!
YES!! One of my favorite NES Games!!
I cant believe they played Gun.Smoke and Quantum Fighter recently. Those are my favorite 2 nes games from my childhood. I think I've even recommended them both on this channel's comments before. Such good games!
EDIT: I never beat either game. =)
I loved it as a kid. It's one of those obscure nes gems. No one seems to know about it. I played it in 4th grade when it came out. It gets pretty tough at the end. The last level is the worst.
The supply is pretty decent, so I guess it was not that rare. Got it for 10€.
Everyone else is talking about Shantae, and here I am thinking "Using your hair as a weapon, kind of like Bayonetta".
This game looks just great, it's like an 8-bit Shantae Half Genie Hero precursor.
Thanks for the shout out Mike....well not really but i do say play Crystalis in every one of your streams.
Crystalis is fantastic! I played it and beat it as a kid, and found it to be on par with Zelda as an adventure game. Mike, you would love it. James too, but I feel that Mike would frikkin love it.
I'm surprised Shantae wasn't mentioned when the hair thing came up.
Boomers don’t know what that is.
@@Dinosaurprince :(
Shantae has become one of my favourite franchises in recent times. Who knew it had an "ancestor" ?
This game was one of my last NES games. It was awesome
Always liked this game. We had an old multicart with this on it.
I used to have this game when I was a child!! My mom bought it used from blockbuster for Christmas. This game was fun but hard! Great video James and Mike!!
Mike: "The controls are really good. The jumping mechanics are really good. I like being able to jump off of stuff. I think it's kinda neat how you can hit things with your hair. It's kinda unique." Mike, good sir, you have just described Shantae, one of the few 2D platformer franchises that isn't dead in our modern age of gaming. It's definitely a series worth checking out.
this was my faforite game as a kid! love it and the music is awesome!
(you can swap your chips for health and health for chips...)
(pauze the game (start) and press up or down)
That's exactly the move (the hair whip) that Sindel in Mortal Kombat does!
journey to silius would be a great episode... It is a very challenging game so practice up! fun fact: it was originally designed to be a Terminator game! some of the best nes music in this game.
You can also pause and press up or down to exchange hp and chips, at least at bosses once per boss
Im so glad you guys made a sgt. kabukiman joke...I was gonna be disappointed if you didnt
Mike, let me increase your enjoyment of this game: you can give lower and raise the health bar by adding or subtracting chips by pressing up and down on i think it's the pause screen.
Do journey to silius!
Amazing game and the music is phenomenal.
I remember this game, as a kid hardly passed through the level where guys ended - that spider robot was really hard! I hadn't remember how cool that game was! :D
I just did a write up on this game last week for a Destructoid blog. what a coincidence!
Google Cinemassacre mailbag episode 4 for those who don't get the reference. You'll laugh hard as shit.
I actually own this game, or, well, my family owns it. It was one of the very late NES games, I played it a bunch as a kid, but could never get past the 3rd level.
Used to fucking love this game!
I remember playing this game and i was way too hard for me when i was a kid, i would love to play it again.
I rented this game in the very early 90's from Rogers Video when I was a kid...I fucking loved it!
You can trade chips for health and vice versa when you pause, like in Astynax. Also, I believe with each boss you destroy you get a special weapon in your inventory to use. Try using the dynamite on the last boss you guys were fighting when it's on the ceiling.
There are more than one special weapons you can use. In the final stage you can even convert your hp and energy.
Holy shit, I had this game. I forgot it existed. I love this show.
I passed on this one quite a few times at the local rental store growing up. Looks decent. Guess, I need to try it out.
I never played this game growing up, but I remember it always being on Nick Arcade.
Mike: "Oh, no...oh, NO!"
Kool-Man, after busting through the wall: "OH, YEAH!!!"
Good game i can not end this one. Journey to Silius will be great.
If you read the story in the american instruction manual. It is stupid close to assassin's creed. Him being a kabuki dancer inside the program isn't random it's because one of his ancestors was a kabuki dancer and so his mind represented him as his ancestor inside the computer he's attached to.
There is also Kabuki: Mystical Ninja for the Genesis which is a decent beat em up!
Taito has made some good games for NES, my fav right now is a $3 pickup called Demon Sword. it has character building element and NINJAS!
I recommend "ShatterHand", James and Mike, that's another great obscure NES platformer.
I like this game a lot played it so much when i was a kid realy amazing game and relay cheap too
I played this game way back when. Can't remember whether I beat it or not.
I've sent that "live like a windrammer" video to A LOT of my coworkers. The legacy lives on, James, don't even doubt it.
Video games are most certainly art. It's undeniable.
Yes, please do Metal Storm....one of my top 3 favorite NES titles!!
you should play faxanadu!
I too have been leaving this same comment in dozens of their videos lol but srsly they really should play that. Such a cool game
I love the music in this game.
Kabuki is not a dance but a special form of theatre.
Had this game back in the day. Loved it, played it all the time but never beat it.
what's up James and Mike? after I saw this video a couple of weeks ago I ordered a copy of this game. I just got and so far it's really fun. I like the style because it reminds me of batman, and the flipping around and grabbing on to walls definitely reminds me of ninja gaiden. I was the one who was pestering you to play Castlevania 3 and you finally did which was awesome btw :)
I had both Crystalis and journey to silius. Great two games.
I remember this game back in the days
I know you are a lot into retro games, but everyone who likes sidescrollers should play the new donkey kong games. Tropical Freeze especially is amazing!
"You should use them sparingly" ..."yeah"..TAPTAPTAPTAPTAP.
Congrats on the birth of your second daughter James!!
Dynamite on the boss battles guys. I used to roast that game when I was a kid.
You get a weapon's upgrade for each boss you defeat. For that boss you died on, you should have used the triple shot which would have enabled you to hit the boss when it was sitting on the ceiling :)
I loved Crystalis. I rented it often I would love to see a play through.
