    Oh man! I remember playing this back in the days, the opening cut scene, the music, the color scheme, the atmosphere, one of the best NES games.... Famicom though in my country :)

    I bought this game when it was new by saving my change in my batman coin bank that I got from a box of batman cereal back in the day. Still have it, still play it 30 years on.

    Games like Batman, Castlevania 1 & 3, Shadow of the Ninja and Contra & Super C, have a legit difficulty curve which motivate you to become better at them, until you best them, completely.

    Your 3rd person dialog, potty mouth, and self instruction make your play through truly authentic and hilarious! I can hear myself talking the same way to myself while playing whatever on my PS4, NES Classic Mini, etc. Doesn't hurt that you are easy on the eyes.

    I remember as a kid thinking the music and the graphics in this game were so awesome. And man, all these years later, the music and the graphics still look great. A very early entry in the history of video games. It just shows that the time the NES was around was when video games began to become more complex.

    Awe yes, Batman the Video Game for NES. I logged many hours playing it. Very good wall jumps Erin 🤘😁🤘. Timing and practice. One of many NES games I go back and play. On a good day, I can beat it with one man, no cheats. The trick to beating the joker is finding the sweet spot when he's bringing down the lightning. You duck and pummel the crap out of him, he'll walk right past you, no damage, rinse and repeat 😄

    Batman on the Nes is a rare breed of good movie-videogame adaptations. Back in the day (1990) I used to play this game to death and it was one of my favorites on that year along with Ninja Gaiden 2.

  • @joshmartimez2235

    First time i played this game was on an NES emulator on my PC ten years ago. Having real retro games and playing them on original or good clone hardware makes for a better gaming experience in my opinion. The little robots are also in Batman game on Game Boy. This game does get tough in the later levels. Great video Erin.

    2:26 so the reason why you press start to change weapons and select to pause is that it's much more awkward to press select with your right thumb, so most people would just press it with their left thumb, taking the thumb off the directional pad. So by doing this you can select a new weapon while moving.

    "this is fine. this is fair. this is balanced"
    "bet I can do this like THEBatman and just punch everything"
    "ok this is is... fuck you firefly!"
    "alright remember what you did last year/month/week. stick close dodge his gun and punch him almost to death..."
    "ok I'm done for a week/month/year thank you Batman! I'm sorry for the last 20 years Adam We... is pretty competent after all."

    This is such an awesome game, and is definitely one of my NES favourites. Great job with the video, it was informative and as fun as ever :)
    I always found it weird that you lose a Batarang with each use, despite the fact that you clearly see it return to you.

    I never played this one growing up. Throughout the video it reminded me of something I'd played, and I eventually got it: Kabuki Quantum Fighter. I think Batman came first but I had Kabuki. Ever played that? Kabuki guy whipping stuff with his mane of bright red hair. XD

    I don't think it's hard cause I've played it so many times without dying (400 times). The music is fantastic, the gameplay is tight and good, and the cutscenes are glorious.

    This is in my Top 5 list. A tip that really helps in the Joker fight: in this game, when an enemy is blinking, it's you who is invincible to it. So when the Joker runs towards you, you gotta keep punching him! He will pass right through you ;)

    One of the best NES games. The music track to the first level is on my music playlist that I still listen to.
    The prototype to this game has cool additional & different cutscenes than the version we got. Also Firebug, who we fight right before Joker is the prototype's final boss. They included Joker for our version which I'm glad for.

    I never beat this game when I was a kid. I tried it not too long ago after an eternity of not playing it. It was embarrassing. Hard NES game, but still so much fun to play. As for your question midway through, no clue when half the terms for things arose. I don't recall ever hearing or reading in say Nintendo Power terms such as "Farming", "Grinding", or calling genres such as vertical or horizontal shooters "Shmups". I think they came into use when retro gaming started becoming a thing in the mid 00s. On message boards or MySpace groups probably.

  • @christopherthibeault7502
    @christopherthibeault7502 7 років тому

    Erin (and everybody else), there is reasoning behind Batman: The Video Game's control setup. Take an NES controller, press Start and B with the right thumb, one after another. Feels accessible, right? The decision for switching weapons with Start was ergonomics--what in game development they call user experience. Remember playing Metroid? It was troublesome to switch between Beam and Missile with the Select Button because Start, which represented Pause, was between the standard action buttons and that button. You could pause like an idiot at inopportune moments which, despite the lack of game-breaking power, annoyed players enough to offset the benefits of a self-imposed breather. After all, you wanted to switch to the hard weapon, not to take a breather. I used rapid-fire controllers on Metroid when I was young because I hated wrestling with pressing Select to make the switch while handling the Ice Beam. Eventually, I bested Metroid later in life by swapping Ice Beam and Missile, especially on hard targets, just like you were meant to do.
    Playing Batman, I understand the need to press Start to switch weapons because you're not pressing B to attack and, if you had to use Select, you preferred your left thumb; you never wanted to stretch the right thumb over. If you want to move and switch weapons, it's easier if one thumb is doing the moving, rather than stretching one thumb too far and throwing off your game. You could probably bypass this with a Speed-Board setup, or an arcade-style controller, which emphasized fingers over thumbs. Still, that required re-tuning your muscle memory, forcing you to spend more time on remedial affairs rather than delving into the depths of your game of choice. Batman: The Video Game is harsh as is, but if you couldn't deftly switch weapons while moving, you'd have several needless deaths in the heat of the moment, guaranteed!
    Post-Script: the munitions limit is, in fact, 99; Batarangs use one, Missiles use two, Shuriken use three. The programmed counter is set to 100 where 0 is among the numbers used.

    I never knew that you didn't have to duck to punch those little purple robots; I learned something today! In exchange, did you know that you can kill those ceiling robots that infinitely dispense the little ones? I don't remember if you can punch them or not, but when you're done farming, it's a good way to keep the hearts that you've earned.
    If you're looking for cute robots, there's a PC game called 2064: Read Only Memories that's absolutely packed with them; my favorite is the cleaning robot in the hospital, but your robotic companion is pretty adorable, too! The gameplay is very similar to Shadowgate, but with more emphasis on conversation than on finding creative new ways to die. It's easily the best game I've played in a very long time.

    • @ErinPlays

    Yet another great game and a great video !
    My cousin used to have this game back when I was a kid and I remember playing it a couple of times and enjoying it, but I don't remember much past the first level, so I'm not sure how far we went in that game (but then again, we were just kids and that was many years ago :) )
    I feel like the batarang should refill your ammo by 1 when it comes back to you, that would make sense, wouldn't it ? Much like the Quick Boomerang in Mega Man 2 !

    That wall jump you was having trouble with. You have to leap off the top platform and not the bottom. Just have to be quick. Loved the play through, very enjoyable.

    You definitely have the skills to beat the Joker. If you keep cool and time your jumps, you'd eventually have him.

    I'm amazed you don't lose your rag more often... "NES hard" I'd have thrown my joypad directly at the camera! Love from Glastonbury x
