Nice to see Feasel running, and UA ofc

 

[Diablohead]

This reminds me of how you could glitch up and down through the doors in the original Metroid. Was that ever useful in any way for speed runs in that game?

Not sure what these scrolling glitches are that you mention btw, just made me think of the above when I read it.

The scrolling in metroid is used in any% I think, to either get ice early or to save some room traveling.

In blaster master they can do something weird on foot to move the collision layers and doorways, then use this to pass into locked away areas.

What the hell does this game have to do with Batman? Like... okay, you play as Batman. And the final boss is the Joker. But literally nothing else in the game bears any resemblance to anything in Batman '89, or really anything else Batman related. And why can the Joker summon lightning? This definitely looks like a game that was developed as something else and had Batman slapped on late in development.

Cute.

 

[Finalow]

Batman NES music so good

that was a really good race.

 

[KevinCow]

Are you new to licensed NES games

I guess. The only licensed NES games I had as a kid were TMNT and Chip & Dale, and TMNT actually had some resemblance to the cartoon and Capcom's Disney games were great.

 

[Sir Griffith]

Holy shit, puwexil and Blechy commentating. This is going to be so epic

 

[nbraun80]

most of the enemies in TMNT after the first stage weren't in the cartoon, only the bosses. I don't blame these games, batman and TMNT don't have much for enemies in their shows besides the bosses and regular goons.

 

[dmr87]

Damn, top tier couch and runners

 

[Steejee]

Ah, Blaster Master. A game I rented like 5 times, loved, but never came remotely close to beating.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Yeah, the TMNT villains like slow moving fire guy or robot that throws its head at you

 

[SJRB]

In-depth commentaries add so much to a run, this stuff is awesome.

 

[Nopren]

Nice with Blechy on the couch.

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

Several of Batman's bosses and enemies are actually minor villains from comics (not from the movie that the game is ostensibly based on, though...) Given Journey to Silius (another NES Sunsoft game, a Terminator game with the license sawed off), it seems fairly likely that Batman had the license grafted on somewhat awkwardly.

 

[dmr87]

Feasel with dem strats

 

[jett]

Sunsoft's NES games have such great tile art. Just awesome use of color.

 

[dmr87]

Awesome comebacks in this race

 

[Sir Griffith]

AWESOME race with some amazing tricks

Great job on Scavenger for getting that 1-frame warp and Feasel for the boss trick

Best race Ive seen in a long time, maybe the best one Ive seen on a marathon

 

[Kadin]

Well that was my first chance to watch a game I used to love when I was a kid. Amazing race!

 

[jett]

Awesome race!

 

[Death Metalist]

Battletoads next!

 

[SmackAttack]

Well that was my first chance to watch a game I used to love when I was a kid. Amazing race!

One of the best parts of these events is watching childhood favorites be played like you've never seen before.

Battletoads next!

 

[T.O.P]

Fuckin love me some Battletoads

 

[Spirited]

HI MOM.

Really looking forward to TMR's battletoads run.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

They should play the pause music until Battletoads starts.

Battletoads next!

Yup, and this run actually reminded me that I did get to the very end, I just never beat it. Was so, so hard back in the day. Nice to see an actual end to that game.

As to the upcoming Battletoads, just no. I never got far into that game and it was so painful to try. Another fun one to watch I'm sure.

Never actually played either of these myself but I have seen runs of games where, like you said, I got near the end but could never finish them. I sometimes think about going back to some and seeing if I could do it as good as these people.

Again on Battletoads, I couldn't do it. Any of it.

 

[Sir Griffith]

Ah cool, it's Big Jon. This should be promising!

I played Battletoads on the Rare Replay using the rewind option like 10 times per level, these games were savage

 

[OniBarubary]

Mexian Runner yay!

*sneaks peeks at stream during work* >____>

 

[Brinbe]

this is already awesome

 

[Skrams]

I'm so confused sometimes if stuff like that is a bit or real.

 

[Diablohead]

rekt by 50hz

 

[lucebuce12]

PAL STRIKES AGAIN!!

 

[Dai101]

They should play the pause music until Battletoads starts.

Battletoads Pause Theme 10 hours

 

[OniBarubary]

Goddammit PJ, this is your fault.

 

[SmackAttack]

Wow. I eagerly await doing the same when I pick it up.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

PAL is the absolute worst.

 

[Death Metalist]

lol this is already fantastic.

Wow. I eagerly await doing the same when I pick it up.

The game is worth it only for the remade music in the menus and tons of behind the scenes footage.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

PAL is the absolute worst.

No lies detected :°(

Also runner + couch swag too stronk.

 

[Creamium]

[T.O.P]

[Arkos]

Hahahahahaha this is awesome

 

[SmackAttack]

Does that include some of the GAF threads I've seen about their past games or are those not from the game. I've heard some great stuff about the features.

WAIT, BLINDFOLDED?

 

[SJRB]

What a legend haha
