honestly, it's way more fair than the "easier" Castlevania IV that he loves so much.

This game is awesome as sin. Sick soundtrack, sick bosses, sick animation.

James probably could beat Rondo of Blood if he played it by himself and focused considering he has beaten Castlevania 1 and got to the final boss of Castlevania 3.
It's really not that hard, they are just playing like shit...
James and Mike seem to play like shit in most of their videos.
Sucking on purpose?

I think it's a combo of
1- Not being that great at more modern games
2- Talking to each other while playing
3- Trying to be funny as they're on video
Heck I'm sure we've all had times where you do something easily, then you try and replicate said feat to show it to a friend and can't do it to save your life.

He says he beat the PSP version in the video.

Well this is a first time play through for both of them, so no surprise. But Maria is pretty well just easy mode for the game when you unlock her.
Pretty awesome that they are playing this on original hardware though.
He couldn't very well be blamed for believing that Nintendo had, as well. The GCN dragged Nintendo into the "blue ocean," after all.
Your post doesn't make sense
Although this is a low-effort post, I'll respond anyway: Nintendo firmly slid out of the industry limelight throughout the GCN era (as well as the latter parts of the N64's life). It was not unusual for even devout Nintendo fans to shift into PlayStation or Xbox fandom, or perhaps lose interest in videogames altogether.

No, college happened. GameCube came out when James was starting college for the most part, and he became more focused at school.
When I went back to college just a few years ago, I stopped following games for a couple years.
You'll notice that Mike's PS2 collection is very, very slim.
Why bring that into discussion given the lack of information we have on James' GC, PS2 and/or XBOX collection?
Also, I believe James was in college during the GC/PS2/XBOX days. I'm sure he mentioned it in a couple of videos (Super Monkey Ball, Smash).

My first run at college was during that era, and I didn't care that much about school. I skipped a day to try to find a PS2, and I may have skipped another day to get Silent Hill 2 and NHL 2001 for PS2
eh, good for youMy first run at college was during that era, and I didn't care that much about school. I skipped a day to try to find a PS2, and I may have skipped another day to get Silent Hill 2 and NHL 2001 for PS2
thumbs up dude
that's so cool
I skipped the GC/PS2/XBOX generation
I only got back to gaming with the DS
Want to hear more of my story?

It really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Considering it was an NES game there really wasn't much else they could do with it.
It's certainly far from a great game as well. As for worst NES game, there's much worse on that system that the game doesn't come close to things like Action 52.

Well, I disagree with that. Terrible game. Fairly loyal to the source material but that's all it had going for it.
But, I honestly think the Nightmare on Elm Street game is pretty decent. A 6.5 maybe 7 out of 10. It's flawed but it's not bad at all. I'd give the same kind of rating to Top Gun 2 and Toxic Crusaders on the NES. Actually, Top Gun 2 would probably get a 9 or 10. REALLY good action game. It's a shame that James never took a 2nd look at that one.
I still feel the worst LJN game is X-Men. Abysmal graphics, awful controls and gameplay, forced co-op (a flaw in games that became prevalent decades later)
At least Friday the 13th looked like it was attempting something original.
EDIT: Yes, the Nightmare on Elm Street game was at least decent. It helps that it was made by Rare. With music by David Wise.

Yep, it's a much better game and not even that bad!

Just a heads up, 3Mix got a patch release, including a fix for the bug Mike ran into:

That is impressive. Silver Surfer is a hard game with harsh punishment for making even one mistake.
Bootsy deserves extra praise for pointing out how cool the music in the game is.

That's what my youtube channel will become in the future, even though I do most games on the hardest settings now, lol.

Bootsy is awesome. I wish they'd have him on more often.
That was really impressive.

That's a good idea and it could definitely add to the Nerd's line up of videos. I know I'd be up for seeing him best the snot out of games and have James provide comments and some interesting facts in the background while they also shoot the shit with Mike.
Easy to make. I didn't know they played Mike Tyson's Punch Out.

Do you think James and Bootsy spammed fire too much? James's point was you never know what is coming from the right, but just seemed like it was too much at times!
Yes, sometimes it's best to wait it out, sure, you want to protect yourself, but at the same time you also want to see what comes from above, below and behind you as well. Also, it'll hurt your hands pushing the button that many times, lol.
