I had this game as a kid. Played the hell out of it. My grandmother was a master at this thing.
I can't believe this dog has enough time to make detailed walk-through vids like this every week. Good dog! You deserve a treat!
His English is pretty damn good too
The DOG is making these videos? Holy shit!
Dogs have a lot of free time
i thought "wow, what a comment" and then understood "oh, that dog, ok")
@@knkn5049 that's funny
Sunsoft had some serious rocking chiptunes back in the NES days.
100% the percussion they had on many of their tunes was fucking amazing. Journey to solid is easily in my top five greatest game tracks on NES.
Naoki Kodaka is a genius. I think he teaches music at a university now?
💪🏿💪🏿🙌🏿
Especially games released with the 5B.
@@Spazilton1 That chip was pure magic!
Single-handedly keeping the Nintendo Switch Online alive.
Haha, that is so true..
I can't wait for U Can Beat Video Games: Daiva Story 6!
I randomly found this dude like maybe a month ago, best find this year, i'm hype to watch these and just chilllll
His videos are super relaxing, but also motivating. I am beating the NES Mega Man games for the first time because of this channel!
Me too
The best part about your channel is opening up my eyes to all these retro games I usually just glaze over. 👍
My grandmother picked this up for me for a birthday. Good memories.
This game has the best NES soundtrack, hands down.
Lol someone doesn't know Lagrange point
No, Megaman 2 still wins.
@@burntyper LOL! Someone doesn't know bacon.
No, Predator does
Mr. Gimmick, Castlevania 3 (Famicom version is a lot better though), Shatterhand, Pictonary, Ducktales, Silversurfer are all great.
This man making my year incredible 1 Saturday at a time. Keep it up man!
Best running gaming channel on youtube right now. I haven't kept a "watch schedule" since i was in my teens. Im here every saturday though lol. Looking like another game ill be picking up.
Also, I'm starting to need a collection video. You've had a hard cart for everything. Game room tour time!
I'm just hyped that people are genuinely into retro right now. Modern day gaming is in the toilet lol.
@@EQOAnostalgia Im glad its still around, but the popularity is making the hobby more expensive than it really should be. Im an emulation fanatic lol
I was honestly shocked by this game as i never played it back in the day. Amazing aesthetics, really fun, fantastic OST. This was a cut above for the hardware for sure. Reminds me of Little Samson and how that one snuck under my radar, and is also amazing.
Back again. It’s like my Saturday morning cartoons as a kid.
This may be an odd request, but how about doing an episode on Werewolf: The Last Warrior for NES?
It holds a special charm for me, despite not being very popular.
It has one of the coolest ending screens!
Yes!!!! This game was one of my favorites to rent in weekends.
It was a good game, I forgot about it.
Used to rent that one a lot as a kid. Loved the soundtrack
That was totally a skin for a Wolverine game.
I've got to say, I love this channel. And thank you for doing Battle of Olympus. I've watched that video about 4 or 5 times. The detail you put into these videos is awesome!!! But please do Guardian Legend. I never beat that game and when I was younger I didn't really understand rpg type games. I'd love to see how it turns out. Granted I could watch TH-cam videos about it but you are so detailed about these games I'd rather watch your take on the game.
this game has such an amazing soundtrack, love hearing it till this day
I love this TH-cam series.
After years of pulling my hair out with these games, it’s great to have such an awesome resource! Thanks so much for this!
Not only did I learn how to beat this game; I learned OF this game. Another reason to love this channel.
You should do a video on Dr Chaos sometime. I love how comprehensive your coverage is, on both the backstory/history and walkthrough/tactics/secrets sections. Most of these games bring back a wealth of memories from my childhood, having rented or owned the lion's share of what you've covered so far. Keep up the excellent work!
I've never really even heard of this one, but the way these videos play out is spectacularly entertaining. I'll know it by the end haha
I was today years old when I learned this was originally a Terminator game.
I beat you by couple weeks.
Widely known info
Now this is a game from my childhood that I could never overcome. I do greatly appreciate the information/history segment you have before every play through. It really sets the mood for the video.
The music score of this game really takes me back. Another stellar choice this week, keep up the great work.
I can watch and listen to these video's even if I never play these games. This channel is a gem and I look forward to more games being showcased by that awesome dog. The Dog knows his stuff and is adorable!
I have been binge-watching your series, thanks for these!
I recommend The Immortal for NES. It is one of those games where knowing the mechanics and levels changes the game from impossible to easy! It was my favorite as a child: great atmosphere, graphics, and plenty of instant-death traps!
Thanks! I actually recently picked up a copy of The Immortal because I didnt have it. Definitely on my list!
My neighbor bought me "Journey To Silius" as a Christmas gift back when the SNES was quickly garnering most of the focus for loyal Nintendo gamers. Needless to say, this old-school bargain-bin title fetches a pretty penny these days.
It's a price well-deserved...
This channel absolutely rocks!
I looked for videos on "Phantom Fighter," "Ghoul School," and "Dr. Chaos."
If you haven't already, I sincerely hope you'll cover the completion of these 3 deceptively deep NES titles.
That being said, keep up the great work!
These videos are beautiful nostalgia-cocktails that scratch all the right itches...
I cant believe i never played this game this looks awesome. I know what im going to be doing later on tonight. This channel has quickly become my favorite thing to do on saturdays
Damn fine game and soundtrack. I swear Kodaka existed on a different plane than the rest of us. His music was truly something special.
Never played this one. Thanks for picking this one. As usual good work buddy. This is the best channel going.
My man, I'm French and your channel reminds me a lot of Joueur du Grenier's channel (reviewing ridiculously hard to beat games, but more in a funny manner), but to be honest I appreciate your style a whole lot more! Plus the fact that you're super calm in the most stressful situations makes it funny in itself! Awesome stuff, keep making em'!
Congratulations on 40k subs
This channel is so amazing. Every time I see a video I expect to look down and see it was uploaded 12 years ago. It has the vibe of classic TH-cam
I bought this game on a whim, and I loved it. It's still among my favorite NES games.
Great content, never was able to finish this game when I had it on my Nintendo, would like to see you play Shatterhand, there is a secret in the first stage that I discovered and have not seen any one else do it.
This title screen is my fav tune on this game.
I love when you show the game of the week on top of the other games, and wondering when you'll do those ones!
Third game I’ve beaten thus far thanks to your videos. As a video game player of average at best skills, your videos give me that extra push to see these games through to the cheesy endings.
Another great video! Informative and nostalgic. Love this channel. He's done Zelda and Crystalis, I'm holding out for him to do Willow. I always played those three as a kid.
I was just thinking about Willow! One of my favorites as well!
I def have Willow on my list, I replayed that one within the last year, so I'm definitely ready for that one
@@UCanBeatVideoGames
I look forward to your videos every Saturday morning since I came upon your channel. Coffee and UCBVG. Willow playthrough will be awesome. Keep doing what you're doing, and I'll keep watching. God bless.
I’ll have to try this game. Never even heard it before today. Thanks!
I loved how it was supposed to be a terminator game but didn't get the license!! Compared to the terminator games we got I think it's safe to say that this would have been a lot better!
Terminator games were all garbage.
@@getaloadofthisp3d036 T2 The Arcade Game for the SNES was fine, especially if you had a Super Scope.
I forgot all about this game, but as soon as I saw the title I remembered the spaceship boss fight near the end ! Nice retro memories!
I appreciate 4:36 so much.
I learned about this game via Joel/Vargskelethor, to this day he'll play the soundtrack during stream breaks and he's completed it during a "Hardcore Friday" where he doesn't use save states. I've tried the game a few times via Switch Online but maybe got past the first level? One of these days I'll give it another try knowing thanks to this video, I too can beat videos games!
Oh gawd this game was and still is a gem 💎,I remember my cousin came over with this game and I hogged it all day ended up borrowing it for life lol
Really love these videos. I don't have the time to play through many of these games myself but they are amazing to watch while settling down for the night.
Whenever I hear that "All right" I feel like Quagmire is about to teach me about video games I grew up with. And at least to me that is a good thing.
🤣 Thanks!
My local Blockbuster had it when I was a kid. Walked by it many times and never picked it up. Wish I would've. I'd love a crack at it now!!!
Beginning of game: dad I will avenge you!
End of game: finally I’ve saved the universe
right! so weird!
I never knew about this game until I saw Mike Matei play it. What a cool, beautiful game!!! I wish I had known about this when I was growing up. Even now, this game really holds up, looks and sounds amazing, and presents a fair learning curve with your help! I will be adding this to my mini console so that I can play it. It looks really neat.
Saturday mornings are great again! I love this channel, It's so pleasant and informative at the same time! Keep it up, love it!
I never played this in the '80s. In fact, I never even heard of it. But I loved your video. I kept imagining it as depicting John Connor's final assault on Skynet trying to reach the time displacement device... I bet if Sunsoft had got the Terminator licence then it would have been a massive hit and I would have played it back then.
I remember beating this years ago. I always wondered what was up with the intro saying it was about terrorists, then to fight robots the whole game. Then I heard it was based on Terminator, and everything made sense. This has the most 80s soundtrack I've ever heard.
OMG! I remember commenting about this game on one of your other videos 😂 and here I am finally about to see the ending… I’ve managed to make it all the way to the end and fell short and just didn’t have it in me to play through it again.
0:08 I see you have Power Blade. That is one of my favorite NES games. I would love to see you covering it.
And GI-JOE. I never got to complete that game. I would love to see how to beat it.
I love watching your videos. Mostly for nostalgia as I remember playing and beating some of these. And sometimes I learn a new shortcut or glitch along the way. Keep up the good work!
I was thinking about this game, mostly because BMZ3 came out recently.
Another one I've been meaning to get to for some time. Just nice to know I have your vids to fall back on when I rip through the backlog in the years to come. Great soundtrack as always with Sunsoft.
It amazes me that all of these games from my childhood can be beat in under 2 hours with the right knowledge. When the majority I was never able to beat.
Never played Silius, but I am here for the obligatory like and comment for the algorithm anyway.
Also to request The Guardian Legend again. 👍 Keep up the great work!
Very proud to say I have beaten this game legit. Best soundtrack on the system, and it’s in my top 10 favorite games for the system.
maaannnnnn. i spent many sleepless nites playing this bad boi here. classic nostalgia 4 me. lol. but
This has become one of my favorite channels on TH-cam!!
This channels become a part of my Saturday morning routine. I've never even played Silius before today, each video is either nostalgic bliss or a new hidden gem (to me anyway).
How bout an exclusive with the talent sometime? That dogs got the looks and skill to be a superstar.
Ahhh its saturday i look forward to this every weekend!
I finished this on the NES, but with this tips I'll give it a second try
I absolutely LOVE the music in this game!
I just picked this up at the flea market for $25. I'd never played it before and finished it yesterday. WOW What a game. The graphics and music are just incredible. It's tough, but not too tough, The "weight" of the character takes a little getting used to but the player easily can get the hang of it. I like the design choice of "longer levels" with an easier boss fight. I need a sequel!!! LOL..... ALSO on the 3rd level mini-boss you can hide between his legs and use homing missile, he can't hurt you.
I love the debug menus and punch button codes of the NES and SNES era.
Found your channel early 2020, just in time to help me endure the pandemic and have something to look forward each weekend so thanks for all the great content.
Now that you have done titles that are not necessarily masterpieces may I suggest Willow? That game has some of the best graphics and effects I've seen for the NES and, at least for me, still ranks as one of the best movie based videogames of all time.
What pandemic!?!?
@@pointedspider Please tell me you are joking.
Wow. Who would have thought the original story they thought up was prophetic and based on my life years later? I mean take the setting and make it modern instead of future and the backstory is 100% spot on. Kind of makes me want to own it.
Thanks bro. I look forward to a relaxing Saturday with some classic game videos.
Ah. It's always a good day when there's a new "U can beat video games" video.
Did u know about the boss glitch on level 3? Its tbe boss before the big boss, the one that walks towards u. I accidentally found it out on my Let's Play awhile back. I was expecting u to mention it, but you didn't. No big deal really though, people oughta know about that cause if it happens u have to restart the game. Thx again for this my man! Keep'm coming
The music for Journey to Sillius is every bit as awesome as the best Mega Man game.
Thanks. The game always looked really cool to me but I could never get very far. Gonna try again using this video here and there
You did one of my favorite games ever justice, well done good sir (and dog).
I've always been a huge Silius fan. Never knew the story with the Terminator, however I always liked the simple plot. The gameplay here is amazingly smooth and fun for a NES game. I remember using game genie to get infinite lives to beat it with a friend one summer day, we played so long that by the last level we just turned it off and went outside, never to beat the game until years later. As far as the ending, I think it's that you save the earth from the alien robots.
What if I told you, this is becoming one of my favorite channels.
Helpful addendums:
I'll note that the faster enemy that spawns at 16:28 starts at a different height than usual, so if you don't jump to attack, your first shots will miss, and you might not be able to kill it before it goes below the floor. It will come back up under you, and it can overwhelm you, so save yourself the headache and jump to attack it, as shown. There are one or two others like it, but you can see them in the video.
While the video did touch on this, I'll also emphasize that, after the elevator at 17:45, you don't want to move left at all. It makes the first enemy that spawns after you start heading right harder.
It may be helpful to know that the bouncing spikes in level 4 only pause when you jump over them, so if you just watch and wait to see when it happens, you might be a little confused.
For the floating blue guys in level 4, if you advance the screen just enough to get them to spawn, they'll fire once and then do nothing, so you can take them out without using ammo, which he demonstrates towards the end of the stage.
"What if I told you?"
My dad bought me this game on a Navy Base a long time ago. Well worth the money. It's a very good game
Definitely picking this up. I love your channel by the way. 👍
This is one of the few games you've covered so far that I haven't played, am interested to learn about it though.
Ah yeah, one of my favorites from back in the day! Was waiting for this!
Please do Bayou Billy, it was a very hard game I couldn't come close to beating as a child.
Great vid as always. I rent this game as child for one weekend and never beat it, can't even pass the 2nd level.
also, my top 3 for NES music composition: #3 Konami/Ultra, #2 Capcom, #1 Sunsoft.
I have watched most of your videos, they are really great!
I am begging you to do one on Sweet Home.
Ranked 81? What a joke. JTS is one of the absolute best games on the system. 81 my a$$.
Awesome video! Best channel ever. Thumbs up as always!
P.S. - Pet that hound dog for me!
Thanks for these terrific videos. Quality narration, informative, and oh so helpful. Thanks also for focusing on games on the switch so nice to kill some of the games that plagued my childhood :)
Can't wait to fix my Famicom controllers and try this game. Been meaning to do it for a while and now with these tips I'm probably gonna ace it.
Hey there, really digging the channel. How about doing a guide for wizard and warriors III?
So glad I found this channel a long time ago 😎🇺🇸👍👍
"...requires lots of attention" is how I would describe this game. My favorite part by far was the sound test.
Fester's Quest! Lol. Before I forget, please do a walkthrough video on this game, if you have not done so already. It would be greatly appreciated! 😁
Sunsoft had the best game music ever, going to have to check this game out on Switch
Great game, amazing soundtrack, can be unforgiving though - looking forward to this video!!!
Good video as always. I wonder how wide of a distribution this game had back in the day. I don't recall ever seeing it for sale or rent, and none of my friends had it, even that one kid who had a bunch of games.
Btw you can skip those flying blue shotgun guys by jumping over them when they dive for you so and despawn them by getting them off screen. It's super easy try it
I love this game!!! Great work as usual!
Thanks for this! Love your channel and this game is in my top nes games of all time in huge part due to the music, i made a whole album from it even!
We all know Mega Man and some others have great soundtracks, but this one is right up there with the best of them!
Love this channel…Great job!
Thanks, Jonathan!
I wish this channel could help me get better at Halo Infinite, I suck at that game!!
Dat Sunsoft bass!!! My favorite nes soundtrack!
I'd like to see Sunsoft's Gremlins game eventually. I rented that game for a weekend, but it felt a little too difficult to play in a weekend, and I was too young to think about how I was playing it.
