I almost rented this and a buddy of mine who was with me at the time was like "just don't". He saved my life...or at least my weekend.
Wolverine: Adamantium Rage-quit.
Owned this game as a kid, can unfortunately confirm.
I can't believe he listed the music as a positive. It's one of the most annoying OST I've heard.
It's only Wolverine. Of course the game is going to suck.
@@melchior2678 I’m kinda with you, and this is coming from someone who likes “The Friendly Faith Plate” from Portal 2
I remember being so confused as a kid after renting this game. "Its Wolverine. I'm clawing dudes. I don't like it? What's wrong with me?"
That's exactly what I was gonna write. Went one day to Blockbuster, saw this, and thought to myself "Woow, a Wolverine game, it must be badass", then feeling disappointed after 10 minutes of playing it.
Kid me thought climbing on the ceiling was going to make this game the best thing ever.... 5 minutes later, I knew that I was objectively retarded.
Same, I’m big fan of wolverine. I rented when I was a kid and I was so mad bc it suck and I thought as kid wolverine can’t suck
Same
@ToxiicOSK I go to block buster to go rent rated R movies. i always say its for my dad
That soundtrack when the beat dropped! HOT DAMN!!
I'm surprised how many beats & sounds they were able to conceive on SNES. 😎🎼
I thought everyone had their snarling mug as their wallpaper.
I mean, I do now.
I got mine from digitalblasphemy.com
I love how grungy the genesis ost sounds. I've listened to it on UA-cam before. Probably one of the heaviest sounding genesis osts.
This is a SNES game...
duffman18 he mentioned the genesis version at the end of the video...
@@ethelchip3620 oh yeah, sorry, my mistake.
IDK I've heard Genesis metal music that sounds better than this.
This was one of those instant regret, long weekend rentals at Blockbuster.
Damn son.....shit is real......lol
TET - COM Too many times my friend. Bad video games alone made sure I knew how to spell HORSE.
Clayfighter 63 and a third. Hilarious concept, baaaaad game.
I share ur pain cause I rented this game as well 🤣💯
@@DarrellDaEmperorCeasar If the robot doll that chase Wolverine around was after me, i would run for my life.
Heh. I was expecting you to say "Avoid this game any way you can."
Better than the opposite... "You have to play this game at all cost".
Always wanted this as a kid... You're making me very glad I didn't get it.
I had it and it was disappointing as hell. This game was so hard especially without the manual to tell you what to do.
You should still play it for fun
Dylan sky same I saw this at my local video store when I was a kid and decided to rent it! I thought to myself surely this game is good its Wolverine how can it go wrong?! Biggest disappointment ever! Ruined my weekend also. The X-men games on genesis are way better!
Same!
Get it for sega genesis, you won't be disappointed, just frustrated as hell (and satisfied as you progress).
Love it that you’ve given the Grime beat a mention. There’s an interview of the composer out there where he explains about the production of the Grime track and how working as a UK based DJ/record shop owner helped influence the sound.
i just shook when i heard that today, at 12:00 am 4th july 2022
my life once again has experienced one of those insane moments very rarely
“Wobbling on the edge like bubsy or Lester the unlikely”... lol
Some parts of this game you showed in the video remind me a lot of Super Metroid with the level design and level art. Makes me now think how cool it'd be to make a Super Metroid romhack with Wolverine instead of Samus, and you go round finding upgrades that give him his powers one by one, you could invent some story about why he lost them, it doesn't really matter. Like eventually you'd get regenerating health, and a super jump, and stronger melee attacks because you rediscover adamantium and go into a machine that applies it back to his body etc. And it could be focused around melee instead of long range weapons like the original Super metroid, by designing enemies and level design to accommodate that, like melee focused metroidvanias like guacamelee and the castlevanias for gameboy advance and DS. I don't know, maybe it's a dumb idea, but I think it could work well. You could even skip the designing of a sprite for wolverine by taking one pre-made from on the the 16 bit xmen games. I wish I knew how to make romhacks
I think that's a really interesting idea. I don't think it's dumb. Even though I've never super into Wolverine or X-Men, I would totally play that romhack.
I'd totally be up for a Wolverine Metroidvania that sounds really fun honestly. If anyone with rom hacking experience sees this I'd love to play something like that.
Hmm, looks like your health slowly regenerates over time. FINALLY, a game where that mechanic actually makes sense!
Wolverine's healing factor is based on his sense of satisfaction from sleeping with other's wives/girlfriends. And since he's small it's like he slept with a lot of giant females!
Total length of video: 375 secs.
Total length of "SNES Drunk": 3 secs.
.8% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk."
Still better than UA-cam ads lol
Next time, let's aim for 5%.
It's a stronger (SNES) drunk.
Maybe even with 40% SNES drunk, and a shorter video, that we can take shots of!
Lessons for developers: Start by just making your character fun to control. Make the controls easy & smooth. Then focus on enemies that properly challenge the player without feeling cheap. Start with easy challenge enemies, and work up. The game should be easy to pick up, difficult to master. The challenge should come from mastering skills, not wrestling with bad controls.
This review completely lines up with my childhood memories. Reeaaally wanting to like this game and playing it so much but ultimately just finding it super frustrating
I remember seeing an add for this as a kid, and seeing the box art put me into a frenzy of anticipation. As soon as it hit our local video rental shop, I got it, popped it into my snes, totally stoked, and after seeing the opening title screen I somehow realized I was in for disappointment. I was not wrong. It was awful.
On the plus side, it has "Cola", my favorite brand of soda.
@asdfj asdfjk
C & C
Fentimen's all the way bb!
The hit detection is so messed up on this one. Awful game
3:06 tons of hits with paper claws and lol Elsie dee following oh God that's torture to do that dive roll and avoid 4:37 you choose to heal
I can't remember ever playing this, which seems extremely unlikely so I must have repressed any memory of it.
X-men: mutant apocalypse was a great game though
I just got mutant apocalypse again im stoaked
"On the plus side, it does have some great sounding music."
**static**
lol i though the same
OMG I remember playing this of shit of a game and deeply regret that I borrowed it from a friend.
I mean I didn't even spent a penny for it and I feel bad for plugging it in my console
Another enjoyable video from a quality content creator.
Have a great rest of your day, dude! Be well.
I hope he does an in depth video of the Sega version. This is a great and succinct summary of the SNES version.
I love your counsel
Blessings upon you for your time and effort
Thank you for giving to fellow enthusiasts
It is quite a special gift you have shared worldwide
HEY SNES DRUNK, Ganbare Goemon 2 and 3 just got english patches releases!
preach!
This game has potential. I played it. I liked it. But it was just too damn difficult
I like it too. I had fun playing it. I’m so tired of these elites bagging so hard on games that aren’t that bad. It’s like this game is hitler. I also really like James Bond jr.
I remember beating the whole game long time ago on SNES. The level I had trouble with was the nightmare level where you get grabbed by some white hands and a ball in the air shooting sharp blades at you. I also remember Selene shooting at you and when you dodge her blasts, her percentage decreases. I don’t remember about Fugue in a red cloak, Shinobi Shaw, you don’t get to fight him and the final boss in a cave is huge and yellow from what I remembered. The ending was ok so there you have it.
For real though that boss music that sounds like Grimes / early dubstep is dope af 👌
There was a shop near home when I was a kid that let you play test a few games before buying, I had the chance to test this one for the Megadrive but as a kid I couldn't pass the first "push the lever and run to the elevator" on the first stage, then I've tried the X-Men 2 Clone Wars and dang that game started great! Had coop, played awesome and had multiple playable characters including Wolverine! I was really glad that I could play test both games and choose the better one! My childhood was better because of that LOL
I can proudly say I use that picture of Wolverine on a derpy computer as my owns boot up screen XD
Damn, bro. You leveled that game. Good review.
Awesome work, it's like someone said to some random person passing the "hey, you, do you know anything about making games or wolverine?"
"Err, no nothing at all, wolver-who?"
"You're hired!!"
keep on gaming!!
THANK YOU. I played this for the first time like a year ago and could not figure out for the life of me where to go or how to reduce the bad guy counter meter. I got so frustrated I turned it off lol. So much wasted potential!
I bought this game back then and thought it was ok. I still own it complete in box. It did annoy the hell out of me. I got pretty far but never beat it.
talk about willpower in times of scarcity 😂
My cousin had this game when we were kids and we played the hell out of it. Although we never made it very far in, I do remembee having fond memories of it even though I also remember hating it.
best thing about this game is the title screen music.. had that tune as my ringtone for years^^
Yup, I remember reading about it on a magazine and be excited be prospect of a good Wolverine game ( so far the only one that existed in Snes was Spiderman &the X-Men which is mediocre at best). The graphics looked great ans a the ridiculous amount of moves you could do blew my mind. I rented it, and it was one of the biggest letdown. The only Snes games with Wolverine are Capcom's X-Men and MSH War of the gems
I remember playing this after x-men 2: clone wars and thinking man don't disrespect me like this lol! Awesome video Drunk!
How hard could it be to screw up a Wolverine game: "Super easy, barely an inconvenience"
For a SNES Drunk intro, you should have the singers do the “SNNNNNN” part like the THX sound.
when do you think you will get around to spiderman the animated series for the SNES ?
I'd rather drown in a puddle of throw-up than play this again.
Oh that’s nasty
The way to Get Past the second boss fight is to recharge your health when he transformes into the spike monster. So when he turns into liquid form and slides across the stage just stand on top of him and follow his movement patterns until u recharge. I beat this game in 1995 as a 9 year old. The fact that this is difficult let’s me know that the average gamer is a softie. Back in the days games were 10 TIMES harder and u had to finish em because it was ALL u Had
poe ramsey excelente comentario
The first 20 seconds of this vid got you a sub from me, lol. I'm just happy I'm not the only one, even as a kid, who rented this game (just once), turned it on, and thought...dub tee eff mate??
I'd actually say the running animation looks pretty classic, and it's what I tried to replicate when doing mocap for Zer0 in Borderlands 2.
since when does wolverine kick hurt my soul a bit lol great work as always besides that
thank you so much that you are hating so hard on this game!! I had it on my snes when i was a lil kid and i never could pass the boss fight against the 3 villans in japan. I mean it is the second lvl or so.. and i did put a lot of time in this game back then but this gameplay sucked so much man idk. I just played it again on a SNES emulator just to see if could make it now and it was very hard because i couldnt remember all the controlles so i gave up and searched here on yt for a complete walkthrou to see for the first time what comes after that lvl and what i saw was very disapointing. But luckely i found this video at the same time and to see that you have the same opinion makes me so happy. I can die in peace now thx lol
One more positive for both games and it doesn't amount to much but at least the sprites are nicely detailed and big, so, there's that.
Also the music on the Sega Genesis version rules!!! It basically sounds like Danzig or Type O Negative.
wish you could have had this video for me when i was a child. i could NEVER find this game and i ALWAYS wanted to play it and i've been bitter for years that i never got the chance. Thanks man, I love your videos.
I was going to buy this game tomorrow...thanks for letting me know.....lol!
Holy crap I need to change my desktop background to my angry face
Glad he did this video. On the surface the cover art looks great and levels don't look bad. But looking at Wolverine's basic claw attacks look terrible. No way to really combo moves like Double Dragon or really jump off walls to attack. Maybe if they would have made it a little more Final Fight ish, with the side scrolling elements it might have worked better. Not knowing how many generic bad guys to kill before making your way to the boss would be extremely annoying and confusing.
I literally just played this last night. My initial reaction was, "Oh God, LJN!" Then it was, "This game looks pretty good." Then it was, "Oh wow this plays like CRAP!" The claw climbing was good, though. Look at the Genesis version.
I grew up with this piece of crap, thankfully i didn't know better so i didnt think the game sucked, i thought i sucked at the game, which made challenging myself on it pretty fun even if frustrating as hell.
But good lord this game sucks.
Wolverine controls like a brick, jumping is god damn awful, touch the dpad a little too hard and he darts in a way like an idiot and there's one thing that wasn't mentioned in the video that the hitbox on every attack is awful, that little bit of white in the cow attacks are the actual hitbox and it is not fluid at all, if you use an attack and move at the same time the hitbox doesn't register, also if anyone just as much as blow some cold air in your direction your attack gets interrupted.
Jesus christ how i hate this game now.
But then you are right, the music is actually pretty good, i used to have it running without actually playing it sometimes.
Get X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse instead.
I didn't know the little girl showed after a time. I got her during the Lady Deathstrike fight and I just assumed that's just how that was.
And those sound effects. In the beginning cut scene what's supposed to be Wolvie snarling, just sounds like he's blowing his nose with alot of snot.
Is there a good Wolverine game ona 16 bit console or any console period??
I got this game for Christmas one year, alongside the U.S. Gold "Incredible Hulk" game. My parents' hearts were certainly in the right place and you can't blame them for being duped by phony licensed crap. All they knew was that I loved Marvel Comics and these games had Marvel right there on the box! Little did any of us know the horrors that existed within. Incredible Hulk was slightly more bearable than Adamantium Rage...but only just. Yikes, what a Christmas!
4:46 That music, my friend, is called techno.
Nah blud, that's grime
Ufff, I nearly beat it, but got so frustrated, no one was there, only wolverine and like 2 more names.
Maximun carnage was fun.
Have you done Warlock? Operation Logic Bomb?
Nice to know you know about grime that is a sick grime beat
I remember playing this game on Sega, pretty decent. It was nice to finish it
These games are so funny! I love playing em, it makes me laugh every time!
Linkara: Adamantium Rage!!
Avgn punches him.
I really liked it but my playthroughs as a kid were rare, sometimes I couldnt beat second stage and sometimes I reached to cyber stages but never got through those i guess i Just liked the game for the music and because i was a wolverine fan
Noh! joguei muito esse clássico do SNES.Só não lembro de ter zerado ele.
What a great video great job
Linkara:"ADAMANTIUM RAGE!" (punch!)
My thoughts exactly about the music. I was almost as surprised about that as I was to hear you call it out as a grime beat! Nice one.
it holds the title of having the first grime beat. There's some good articles on it and a few edits with grime vocals over it too.
Good Marvel licensed games were few and far between in the 16-bit console era which was a real shame since the X-men arcade game was a freaking blast back then! I had X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse on the SNES and while it wasn't a terrible game the difficult was very off putting. Especially since by the time I got it in late 94 I had been playing Doom on my PC for almost a year! :)
It seems like a lot of the games I saw during my year of Nintendo Power (June 94-June 95), but I didn't try out as a kid turned out bad.
Can you make a video on the SNES Prince of Persia games?
They used this game to get anyone who plays it angry enough to finally understand where Wolverine is coming from.
Oh boy, I remember renting this back in the day, totally ruined my weekend
I was never able to pass the 2nd level in either the Genesis or SNES versions. I was so let down as a kid after the amazing X-Men 2 Clone Wars and Spider-Man/Venom Maximum Carnage games.
Great video SNES drunk! I have never even heard of this train wreck. Im glad though as this game would have made me very mad.
It's a shame some many IP's were licensed to mediocre incompetent developers.
if all of those comic book and cartoon games had been handled by Konami, Capcom, or any other of the good developers, we would have had so many amazing games.
Best wolverine game is the wolverine origins game, that game was fun
Regarding the music, “Nothing sounds quite like the 8-0-8!”
One of the best soundtracks in the 16-bit era
The soundtrack still bangs
Yoooo that music is dope!
0:52 SOLID bit! 👌🏻
The soundtrack to the Genesis version is GODLY
I remember renting this from Blockbuster and being so disappointed. The Genesis version is actually pretty decent IMHO.
I'm one of the harshest critics and most difficult to please gamers in existence and I actually had fun with this game. I hated the music and the ending however. The controls were ridiculous BUT after awhile I got the hang of it and started running thru the game like a pro. I don't score it highly. At absolute best it gets a 6 but believe me when I say, after playing the LJN version on NES, this version will feel like a 10/10! 🤣
If you played the X-Men arcade games, Mutant Apocalypse (SNES) X-Men or Clone Wars (Genesis) prior to playing this game, you'll be quite disappointed as your expectations are going to be pretty high! Lol
Wolverine Origins was probably the best Wolverine game. Mainly because of the costumes you can unlock.
I own the last action hero and I tried to love it
Came out the same year as X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse, which is the 2nd best X-men game. First is X-Men arcade game.
You have to wonder if there is a way someone could go back and fix these kind of games with roms or something. Have a great rest of your day.
The gameplay In this game reminds me of another game that I played . Is it possible they used another game and rebranded it as wolverine
The Sega Genesis Wolverine game was the best and the music was phenomenal.
I never played this one back in the day, but picked it up a few months ago and was incredibly disappointed. I didn't think even LJN could mess this one up. Boy was I wrong.
I discovered this game a few years ago.
I thought it was going to be a kickass action game. I thought wrong.
At least Capcom does the ol' canuckle head some justice in the crossover games.
I remember playing this game on release and being REALLY disappointed in it. I have not touched it since but I must admit it has been in the back of my mind lately, flirting with trying it again.
Wolverine kicks in the comics .. he’s a master martial artist.
