Hard to believe this is an NES game. These devs showed their obvious mastery of the platform here. They did an absolutely beautiful job with the all the cool parallax, color, and just how well it plays. Not to mention the characters are all unique. Bravo Rare, Bravo
I appreciate the history lesson you give on each game before the tutorial. Depending on my experience with the game that is the most interesting part of the video for me. Always look forward to seeing your videos. Great work!
16:50 The strategy used for taking out the left ryders is definitely a good safe strategy. I noticed, however, for the right ryders that you still used kicks to beat them. Instead, do a dash towards them and ram into their bikes. This knocks them off faster and will give more time for the pod bonus section "Collection Time" in the notes in the top-left.
I also find that simply pushing the directional pad in the direction the bad guy is in, plus attack, will guarantee you hit first. IDK why that took so long for me to figure out, I used to drop crazy lives here!
When I was a kid, seeing these 2 teams come together was freaking awesome. I'm shocked that other crossovers didn't happen. I've beaten the SNES version both solo and with a friend. Awesome video man!
The NES version is the one I have. Level 4 was the furthest I ever made it. Thanks to UCanBeatVideoGames I'll get further, or maybe even win the next time I try! Love this channel
The NES version was first, with the SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy editions coming later (but only about 6 months). Probably much easier to port an NES game to the SNES with it's superior hardware.
I loved Battletoads so much when I was a kid, I must’ve rented it over 100 times. I have never been able to beat it. I didn’t know this game was on the NES, I use to rent it for the SNES. Having Bimmy and Jimmy in the same game as the Battletoads was so awesome at the time.
One of my fave games on the nes. I think it’s on the easy side though, except for the shooter stage where is easy to lose lives, and maybe the long stage 3. We do things differently, for example I try to get the maximum points from enemies, so when I know the enemy is on the floor and that’s it’s their last HP left, instead of the final attack that would give you 1000 points, I do a running attack (knee drop) so I’ll get 5000 points instead. Edit: best example are the hands. The hands need to be attacked three times with regular attacks, or just one knee drop. I keep the knee drop for the third attack, that way I get a total of 7000 points. Also, not mentioned in the video: -in the bike stage, if you double tap to the right, the bike would slide/dash forward to the right, if you double tap and press attack, you’ll slide and attack and that attack is one hit one kill on the bikers in front of you. -if you run and press jump at the moment you get into the bike, you’ll take a very big offscreen jump. This also works on the first battletoads. (Useless trick, but a curiosity). -you can hit some of the yellow arrows on the cable areas on stage 3, for some extra points. -on stage 2 the guys in the window throwing dinamites if you are at the door, you can throw and pick immediately the same dinamite (it will explode but you still will be able to grab it, so essentially you can do beat the guy using the same one dinamite. Don’t remember if this works also on the window guys in the rocket stage). -in the missile/rocket stage on the windows with the three guys throwing dinamite, if you time it right, you can carry a dinamite and throw to the two rats coming for you.
Games I’d love to receive the ‘U Can Beat’ treatment: -sukeban deka 3 -mother (earthbound zero) -drakkhen -earthbound -legend of the mystical ninja (I know is not hard, just haven’t dedicated enough time). games I can beat but STILL I would love to see them in your excellent video style: -ninja gaiden 3 -conquest of the crystal palace -cowboy kid -Vice project doom -river city ransom (but the Japanese version English translated in the collection technos released for Wii U).
A pleasure watching your videos. It reminds me of old school game magazine tutorials and guides. Will await your next video and hoping to see you get to your 100k subscriber count.
Man I love this game ! Thank you (U Can Beat Video Games ) for bringing me back to my childhood memories! And no, this game wasn’t easy. Also, Rash came out in Killer Instinct loved him in that game
Gosh, I remember when my grandparents rented this for me...I sucked at it until I chose either Billy or Jimmy and just kept doing the dash attack 😂 Thank you again for your hard work! Also... Super Metroid 😏
I remember when I first seen this game at a movie/game rental store. As a kid in the 90's it blew my mind away and had to ask my parents to rent it for me. It's such a fun game. I'll always and forever remember the ship flying part.
Thanks for the video! I didn't get far each time I rented it on the NES as a child, but got a little farther on the SNES version at my friend's house. I'd like a Turok and Land Before Time mash-up, because after the first Land Before Time movie I got tired of those dinosaurs.
That feeling when the Rare theme hits is pure love, then the hard rocking main theme song. This game is just awesome as hell and the NES version is my favorite of the all the battle toads and double dragon series as well as the SNES and Genesis version. The only complaint was Jimmy Jee's color.
your intro was perfect as a child I borrowed from a friend thinking I was playing the next installment of Double dragon and immediately realized the lee bros mechanics in this game where extremely broken and nothing like DD. It should have definitely been called Battletoads 2 featuring the lee bros. On a side note another game on the nes featuring the lee bros was a game called Super spike volley ball.
prior to the internet back in the early 90s a little bonus like seeing them in a volleyball game made me ecstatic nowadays every secret is shared online prior to the games even being released
I second this. But it is a long game. A 100% walkthrough would potentially take several videos. Back when I beat it, I remember playing only 1 planet per day because some of them took so long to explore. I also remember tripping over a secret planet via warp zone at one point.
The character animations were superb! I can’t believe this is an NES title. Loved this walkthrough and all of the information that you provide in these videos.
Thanks for doing this game! Man, Battletoads had so much creativity and style, every level was its own self-contained episode in some grand adventure. Pay attention to the sprite animations and you can really see the love the developers put into this game. This crossover with Double Dragon blew my mind! Now, how about a game where the Battletoads meet TMNT? Hmm, maybe that only happened in my playroom as a kid...
Battletoads & Double Dragon... pretty much all the stuff covered on the NES version works on SNES and Genesis, Game Boy is... weird, but this was my entry-point to the Battletoads series. By the way, once I was able to play all versions, I play the GB version the least (haven't really played it seriously), followed by the SNES version and finally tied the NES and Sega Genesis (I feel the SNES version being the hardest, followed by the NES and finally the Genesis version when it comes to hardest to easiest for me). Edit: I didn't know the game had the equivalent of the Toad code from the 1st Battletoads... how curions (not that I really needed it when I got extremely used to the game). Something you didn't mention in Stage 2 is at the bikers segment of the ride if you beat the bikers very fast you can get more pods and potentially more 1-ups in the process, if they leave (or you take too long) you can get no pods for score or 1-ups. Roper on stage 3... I think they named Wily "Roper" by mistake (not if that matters anyway). Back when I played the game for the 1st time, I wasn't able to beat stage 4 and didn't knew about the stage select cheats, but about in 2000 or 2002 I was able to beat the game... by the way, speaking of stage 4 the last set of mines can also be destroyed (but not a good idea due to how fast they move and that if they hit you is instant-"ded" so... not worth the trouble), also... if you're about to die in stage 4, you can kill yourself with the missiles you can launch and get 1000 points for that in case you need score (yeah, that's stupid, but the game allows it). At least on the NES version, the Dark Queen can cheese you when she moves fast... so... the more lives you have, the easier the fight goes in the long run.
Interesting. I rented the SNES version first and finished it without issue. I was pretty good at games when I was younger; I had faster reflexes on my side at the time.
I literally was playing this as I got the notification of all the secrets on your channel thank you so much and the snes Empire Strikes Back was a great help
So while it wasn't the NES Version the SNES version is still near and dear to me..my best friend and I used to play it all the way through college which was sadly over 10 years ago but we only ever made it to the Dark Queen without cheats ONE TIME! it's a very special game due to my friend and i trying over and over again over the years...interesting to see the NES Version cuz I'm so used to it on SNES..in fact I've never even seen the genesis version...great job again man! Freaking love your content.
It was the original version of the game, all the other versions were deviations and ports in some form. I’ve had friends back in the day say numerous times the NES version played the best since the Toads felt the most usable here.
Awesome intro! How did I completely miss this game growing up? All this time I thought it was just a knockoff. Which trips me up, because I really liked both franchises.
Not sure if it works for the NES version, as I owned the Sega version, but in level 3, whenever you initiate a rope section, the arrow the shows the direction to go, which flies off screen, can be hit if you're quick enough, netting you a small boost in points. For example, at 22:09, you could jump in the air and hit the flying arrow. It's a very small boost in points, but if you're trying to rack as many as possible for extra lives, just thought it'd be worth mentioning. Love the channel, great nostalgia trips!
Thank you for this! I could never beat the asteroids like level so I will try your tips, didn't even know about the homing missiles! Hopefully the cheats won't be necessary😁 excellent narration and secrets😊
Heh, I was hoping you'd play as a Battletoad, but that was pretty awesome. I didn't know about that Big Blag trick, and especially the Homing Missile trick in Level 4! I'll have to try this game again, still have both!
I knew there were differences between the Toads and the Dragons attacks but I had no idea there were differences within each group (jump heights etc). Do you have a list of the differences?
@professor84 I could be wrong, but as far as I can tell, it's just jump height and speed. Billy jumps much higher, but it takes longer for the jump to start, as in there is a slight pause after you press A. I did some testing, and of the Toads zitz jumps the fastest but lowest, pimple jumps the highest but slowest, and rash is in the middle. The differences between the Toads are less significant than with the Dragons
I never got to play this, but seeing it in motion; This game very impressive visually with all the tricks they pulled off. Rare was one helluva company back in the day.
There is another way to kill abobo in 2 hits with billy, do a dash kick and as soon as it hits do another dash attack and billy will do the knee smash for an instakill.
I didn't know that battletoads and double dragon the ultimate team was released on the NES I always thought it was released on the SNES, and the Sega Genises and awesome play through and thanks for all the tips and strategies to help beat the game
This is what I've waited for!! I had this on sega genesis but after the space ship fight I couldn't progress.. recently been thinking of trying to beat this after 30+years
Always a treat to watch (any) of your mellow chill playtroughs. IF you take requests... Not sure if you do, To see an Addams Family (SNES or SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis UCBVG would be most welcome. Such a great platformer with somehow hard to master controls. I never beat the game though in the past. Anyway. Keep it up. CHeers.
It's fun trying to figure out how the graphic tricks were pulled off. They take a lot of advantage of the fact that the NES sprites don't flicker so long as there are no more than 8 on one scan line. So, tall, vertical shapes are easy to do. The level intro callouts appear at the top of the screen, away from the action and there's no competition for sprite rendering. Some of the scrolling tricks are _probably_ done by changing tile definitions using character RAM instead of ROM, I think.
For those wondering, here are the differences between the character within each group: I could be wrong, but as far as I can tell, it's just jump height and speed. Billy jumps much higher, but it takes longer for the jump to start, as in there is a slight pause after you press A. I did some testing, and of the Toads zitz jumps the fastest but lowest, pimple jumps the highest but slowest, and rash is in the middle. The differences between the Toads are less significant than with the Dragons
That not only would have been cool, but seems possible since Hasbro owns both! Two toy lines make sense, you could infiltrate bases as GI Joes and fight big battles as transformers
I still find it funny how they called the Lee brothers bimmy and jimmy lol. They didn't even correct the double dragons names. Regardless this game is one long ride of pain if it's your first time playing.
At first it might seem like, "Why....why would you combine these two?!" but really with their difficulty and game play they're probably the most alike to put together

I'm glad you enjoyed the game ! It makes me smile.
you're right, it looks like a 16-bit game
When you see their speccy and bbc games you see where their pedigree came from. C64 not so much.
Definitely, the fences in the speeder bike In the second level is still great looking
Yes they did a pretty good job on the nes version I actually prefer this over the 16 bit versions
I appreciate the history lesson you give on each game before the tutorial. Depending on my experience with the game that is the most interesting part of the video for me. Always look forward to seeing your videos. Great work!
The puppy (Mance) is getting bigger!!! Looking forward to the two of them tackling some couch coop.
The ultimate team! A well-made classic beat-em-up. The faux 3D effects that Rare crafted certainly made a unique look for the company's games.
They really do!

This is my favorite game on the NES, one of the greatest and most underrated titles. Cant wait to watch! Thanks man!
Watching Billy do Battletoads attacks is much more bizarre than I had expected.
The Mr. Show reference was amazing! Well done, again!!
I just about did a spit-take, that show seems to be tragically forgotten these days.
This is the reason I started reading the comments
It’s uncanny how similar this port is to the SNES version. Regardless of the console, this is still one of my favorite games from that era.
The NES version was first, with the SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy editions coming later (but only about 6 months). Probably much easier to port an NES game to the SNES with it's superior hardware.
this game has some of the best animation and graphics of anything I've ever seen on the NES.
Excellent choice, as a kid I thought this was just Battletoads with the Double Dragons boys added, don't know why I thought this
Because it kind of was? 🤭
@@autobotstarscream765 okay yeah, but I mean the same exact game was my thought
What a cross over... Toads and Dragons. ^^
This game is visual pretty detailed.
If only I had a Turbo Controller for my life. ;-)
I just love the "but what if I told you..." Part of your videos

-Vice project doom
-river city ransom (but the Japanese version English translated in the collection technos released for Wii U).
A co-op franchise vid while I have COVID, it's exactly what I need!

I rented this from a Blockbuster back in the early 1990s. Definitely one of the more underrated NES games.
Gosh, I remember when my grandparents rented this for me...I sucked at it until I chose either Billy or Jimmy and just kept doing the dash attack 😂 Thank you again for your hard work! Also... Super Metroid 😏
Your videos are always a treat. Thank you so much for this walk-through.
I would definitely love to see a Battletoads and Ninja Turtles mashup. Or a Ninja Turtles and Double Dragon mashup. I think that would be sweet.

I beat the snes one a bunch but never got to play the nes one ...thank you SOOOO MUCH for this
Awesome! Another great in-depth review. Will we be getting a Secret of Mana or Beyond Oasis vid anytime soon?
Perhaps maybe Super Mario Bros 3?
The message the bird gave about the Dark Queen if you used the cheat code was funny as hell.
The "Professor of video games" educating us with one more gem of a game 🙌
Kudos for the Mr Show Blowing up the Moon clip
The art style of this game is incredible
The animations are hilarious
"other than kingdom hearts you don't see mashups like this very often"
True.
One of the all-time great mashups was Aliens VS Predator for the Arcade.
A very good one!
Heeyyy good morning YCBVG!!!
Thank you so much for all of the entertainment!!!

@@Darknight0681 yeah I know it was the OG, but you'd think with more advance consoles they'd refine the game for the 16 bit platforms lol
Our perceptions are also colored by nostalgia. Once I played the SNES version, I never went back to the original. It just depends on who you ask.
@@notsyzagts7967 I agree.

You had me at the Mr. Show clip 🤣
It's truly asto astonishing how good this is!
Hey, you got your Double Dragon on my Battletoads! Nah, you've got your Battletoads on my Double Dragon!
One of my childhood favourites
Bro after every video you make i literally pull out the mini nes move the rom over and beat them. Your channel is true to its name

I totally forgot this game even existed.
Also, you have River City Ransom that game was so much fun to play as a teen.
This game looked so good for NES game. the set pieces were large and the bosses are as well.
Heh, I was hoping you'd play as a Battletoad, but that was pretty awesome. I didn't know about that Big Blag trick, and especially the Homing Missile trick in Level 4! I'll have to try this game again, still have both!
You are the NES master guide! Thank you! :)
The NES version was the best IMO and I love RARE's music in the 8 bit days.
I knew there were differences between the Toads and the Dragons attacks but I had no idea there were differences within each group (jump heights etc). Do you have a list of the differences?
@professor84 I could be wrong, but as far as I can tell, it's just jump height and speed. Billy jumps much higher, but it takes longer for the jump to start, as in there is a slight pause after you press A. I did some testing, and of the Toads zitz jumps the fastest but lowest, pimple jumps the highest but slowest, and rash is in the middle. The differences between the Toads are less significant than with the Dragons
Love your video’s I’m requesting this again……..WILLOW thanks man keep up the great work
I have Willow on the schedule, its going to happen
I never got to play this, but seeing it in motion; This game very impressive visually with all the tricks they pulled off. Rare was one helluva company back in the day.

HA! The Mr. Show clip was fantastic.
I didn't know that battletoads and double dragon the ultimate team was released on the NES I always thought it was released on the SNES, and the Sega Genises and awesome play through and thanks for all the tips and strategies to help beat the game
Love the clip from Mr. Show!
I would love to see more SNES games on your channel
Good memories with this game.
I always enjoyed this game. More actual combat and less tedious "speeder" stages that the OG Battletoads was full of.
My favorite game on the nes as a kid!
Love your videos, man, thanks for all you do!
Good walkthrough! This guide will help players lead the "Ultimate Team" to victory!
One of my favourite NES games of all time!
This version is way better than the 16 bit Mega Drive or SNES versions.
I love the animation as you pummel the absolute crap out of the lindas lol
This is what I've waited for!! I had this on sega genesis but after the space ship fight I couldn't progress.. recently been thinking of trying to beat this after 30+years
Always a treat to watch (any) of your mellow chill playtroughs.

It's fun trying to figure out how the graphic tricks were pulled off. They take a lot of advantage of the fact that the NES sprites don't flicker so long as there are no more than 8 on one scan line.

Some of the scrolling tricks are _probably_ done by changing tile definitions using character RAM instead of ROM, I think.
Friendly Fire On is the only way to play 2 player games. What's the point of having friends if you can't "accidentally" punch them??
You can recycle the dynamite if you try to grab it quick when is about to enter the door and still dmg the doorman
For those wondering, here are the differences between the character within each group: I could be wrong, but as far as I can tell, it's just jump height and speed. Billy jumps much higher, but it takes longer for the jump to start, as in there is a slight pause after you press A. I did some testing, and of the Toads zitz jumps the fastest but lowest, pimple jumps the highest but slowest, and rash is in the middle. The differences between the Toads are less significant than with the Dragons
I see you got a new dog you can beat. Awesome. I think GI Joe and Transformers would be an awesome mashup. Thank you brother
That not only would have been cool, but seems possible since Hasbro owns both! Two toy lines make sense, you could infiltrate bases as GI Joes and fight big battles as transformers
@@UCanBeatVideoGames yes sir that should have been a win all day. Yep Hasbro both of them thank you brother
Cant wait for Saturday each week for a new episode! Would love to see Willow done in depth.
I still find it funny how they called the Lee brothers bimmy and jimmy lol. They didn't even correct the double dragons names. Regardless this game is one long ride of pain if it's your first time playing.
Good video, you make it look so easy!
Good one , nostalgia overjoyed!
I loved this game for some reason and I could never explain it to my friends
Its amazing how many NES games I cant beat.
5:57 I got yo ultimate team right here! :3
I beat the SNES version as a kid! I love this game!
Omg always a new surprise..Well Done!! Love this game..Too bad they couldn't do like a final fantasy/dragon warrior mashup
At first it might seem like, "Why....why would you combine these two?!" but really with their difficulty and game play they're probably the most alike to put together
The next Beat Em Up series you should do is Streets of Rage
