Avengers Assemble! Despite its flaws, I loved playing this with my brothers. Had the Game Gear version, too, but it seemed the only move worth doing on that was the jump kick.
That's probably the version I played most. What a blast! Though they screwed up the color of Captain America's arms on the character select screen in that version. I'm not sure how that happened.
@@sweetsfiend209 I guess is similar to how Batman looked overseas on licensing product back in the 60s. A lot of times the colors got screwed up in DC wasn't as strict In regards to this at they would become in later years
Months later, I suddenly remember that the Game Gear manual said that Red Skull was aiming his laser cannon from "the dark side of the moon," which is always facing away from the Earth. Seems like that might have been a flaw in his plan.
Captain America was so broken on the flying and underwater levels. Multiple shields to throw that hit multiple times. Everyone else with single shot/single hit. So outclassed.
My brother and I used to play this all the time in sega!! As I’m going thru you playlist i just get flashbacks of my youth. Did you do one on Streets of Rage 2 yet? I’m going thru your channel, but not sure if I overlooked it.
I love the docs u do. I've been watching everyone and played or had most of what u cover. Great job , well done informative and quality production. Thank you and keep it coming.
The NES version of the Captain America game is more like the first NES TMNT game where its non linear and you had an overworld map to select where you want to go and to be honest it plays way better than the arcade game, Cap's shield is up at all times and can auto deflect gunfire, he can use it to float on top of water surface, anf aside from throwing the shield, he can also perform the "charging star" move Whereas Hawkeye can spam exploding arrows for an easier but less complex gameplay style Oh and it has a VS modr where you can play as bosses too, Ultron, Crossbones, and one more that i forgot, and they are amazing to play as, Ultron is basically what Iron Man would probably play like in the game, energy blast and free flight ability
I kind of preferred Vision's white look. Maybe him look like a ghost. It was a blast of a game and pretty good for the time. I wonder if the licensing ran out and it's a game that can't be re-released (a digital version for home consoles). Sadly, with licensing agreements there are games that can't be re-released.
1) Vision turned white after She-Hulk broke him. His memory was deleted in the process, so his romance with Scarlet Witch fell apart. ...sad story. 2) that's not just a giant mech, that's a sentinel from the X-Men.
(8:15) I remember playing this back when it was called "Contra." =) Guess I need to keep an eye out for the Sega Genesis version. It actually looks pretty fun.
I finally got to play this game years ago, well after it was it first came out. It was in a arcade that had all the games set on free play, so I got to play it all the way to the end.
Fun video, as usual! Just curious-what’s your source on Hulk and Thor not being available? There were no games around then featuring them so far as I know. Cool that you reached out to a SNES dev.
What was the issue with Thor not being in the game? The Hulk made sense since he wasn't really much of an Avenger at the time and I remember a stand alone Hulk game in the 90's but I actually thought Thor had a cameo in this game. It's been years since I played it though. I don't recall any Thor games but maybe it was never released?
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Even more odd is that the Sega Spider-man game you talked about had Namor and Hawkeye in them. Never thought they made too much sense in a Spider-man game to begin with.
@@davejohn3600 I think the licensing agreements would have exclusive usage of big name characters, but the secondary ones were not exclusive. Spider-man and Hulk were prime characters, but Hawkeye and Namor? They wouldn't sell any more units if they were in a game or not. Odd about Thor, though. Perhaps there were plans for a Thor game but it never happened.
For everyone who loves this game you should check out Avengers: United battle Force. Its an OpenBor game based on this one but with 18 playable characters all with extra special moves and much more.
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Even posing my question was somewhat of a spoiler. I really tried not to 😅. Keep up the great videos! “THEEEE AVEENNNGUUUUUURS!”
Same here with the bosses. I was a DC kid and Red Skull was the only one I recognized (although for some reason Whirlwind looked familiar) "You won't be the one escaping!"
Great video! I wonder if Capcom was inspired by Captain America's attacks because you can see those same movements in their Marvel fighting games. The shield throw and dash.
I remember playing this game out in my local arcade when it first came out back in the day. I will say this, Data East was really good at separating quarters from pockets with their stand up cabinets over the years. 😂
you forgot to mention that if you pressed and held the attack button (in the arcade version) Iron Man, Cap and Hawkeye used their respective weapon as a shield. Vision turned intangible (if I remember correctly) .
@@harlannguyen4048 When you were in a flying stage though, one of you could shield while the other hid behind the shield and shot. Or you could leave the shield on and destroy everything with the Wasp. :D
I was surprised how different Vision looked in the comics, as I knew him only by playing NES and Arcade versions of this game. But what about Juggernaut? I've been surprised to learn that this is the same Juggernaut from X-Men universe, but what about his design in this game? He's quiet small and have strange red circle visor on his helmet. I'd really like to know why he was designed that way.
From what I've heard, Juggernaut in this game isn't the real Juggernaut. The helmet of the Juggernaut armor renders the wearer immune to outside mental influence, so Red Skull's mind control wouldn't work on the actual Juggernaut. I forget if it's just some minion of Red Skull dressed up as Juggernaut, or if it's a robot designed to resemble him, but it also explains Juggernaut's fighting style - this game's Juggernaut uses evasive rolls, while the real Juggernaut is *literally* unstoppable, and would never presume to dodge any attack he could tank.

I remember playing with submariner. They had this at the deli down the street as a kid on long Island. They were small.but always had like 3 of the coolest arcade games out. And obscure. Also first time seeing playing neo geo and it was the 6 game one. Great memories.
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Thanks, I'm trying to catch up. Just subbed a few days ago. I think it would be really cool if you added game bgm from the chosen arcade under your narration. Play it around 15-20% volume to avoid detection.
I ADORE THIS GAME The excitement of Wasp and Quicksilver appearing was huge This and the Spider-Man arcade game are two of the best and most underrated games of all time And I love the fact Whirlwind (and the other villains) was in it
Batman was a success, but the superhero scene was on fire way before Batman had a movie. They made the Batman movie at that time because superheroes were really popular in the mid to late 80s.
I always played as Hawkeye. He was and still is my favorite Avenger. Loved the Bow and Arrow deal and started out as a bad guy working for the Black Widow who also started as a villain.
I would love for someone to mod this game to fix Vision's colour and add Thor, Black Panther, and maybe Scarlet Witch (but then it'd need a new "No!" and "I can't lose!" and would make "You stupid men" not fully work, but I think it'd be worth it).
During the time when this game was made, sure. But most people (pre-WandaVision) are unfamiliar with it, and I've never met anyone who actually prefers it to his original colour scheme.
(Giant Robot) looks suspiciously like a sentinel from x-men. At least that’s what we all referred to it as in the arcades. (“And the atrocious home ports”)
It is indeed a sentinal, but why would he be in a avengers game? Sentinals were created in X-Men universe to contain the mutant threat. I guess vision could be considered a mutant(?) but that's not enough to make sentinals come after them...
Man, I loved this game so much as a kid. I had never even heard of Hawkeye or the Vision before I played this game in the arcade. We've come a long way for Marvel characters since then.
The Red-Skull was basically the Kingpin with a big red head. In all the Capt. America comics the Red Skull wasn't bulky and huge. Again this version was the Kingpin with the Red Skull's head.
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries when you showed examples of the Data East arcade back catalog, you showed the arcade versions of BurgerTime, Karate Champ, Bad Dudes, and RoboCop, but showed the NES version of Kung Fu Master I was a huge Kung Fu Master fanatic back in the mid 80s right along with Yie Ar Kung Fu and Shaolin's Road/Kicker (you should do videos on those by the way).

There is no explanation given as to why Hawkeye was allowed to appear on both Sega’s Spider-man AND this Data East Avengers game.

I'm surprised that with all the 4 player games released back then, The Simpson's, the Ninja Turtles, X-Men, that they didn't take advantage of the Fantasic 4 line-up and rogues gallery. You had the Silver Surfer, Doctor Doom, Galactus, and a lesser known baddies. But the F-4 had 4 different people with 4 different powers. It just seemed that it was obvious to make a game on it.
@@Ric_Roar Captain America had a movie in the mid to late eighties. That's probably why the avengers had so much merchandise at that time. As a matter of fact, Everytime Captain America gets a movie, the avengers get some action too. Look at what happened over the last ten years.🤔
Vision was disassembled in the pages of West Coast Avengers (part of John Byrne's excellent but short run on the series). When he was put back together, he had lost his color. I believe he was still pale when the video game was released.
Yeah, I remember him still having the white color scheme (which I think was supposed to represent "clear" which was actually the original concept for the character's look) back in comics around the time this game came out.
GloopTrekker I might be wrong, but I believe it was revealed that the pale Vision was really an evil doppelganger from another dimension sent to infiltrate the team.
I havent heard "its the only way my little channel can grow" anymore in newer videos....perhaps its time for a return with little changed to medium channel
Yes! Loved this game as well! The colors and animation were just like a comic book. I never knew they had Genesis & SNES versions? I had the Gameboy version and honestly I thought it was pretty cool at the time, lol. I would love to see a true arcade version released for the modern home systems.
I can see the rush for the SNES version. I had both the SNES and Genesis systems at the time. I remember getting this for the Genesis because it came out well before the SNES version. I kinda wanted it for the SNES but after watching this I guess I'm better off I got it for the Genesis.

During that time the Fantastic Four were not as popular as to make an arcade game about them.
@@Hektols The Avengers had 2 arcade games during that time and those characters weren't popular in the early/mid 90s.
@@Ric_Roar Captain America had a movie in the mid to late eighties. That's probably why the avengers had so much merchandise at that time. As a matter of fact, Everytime Captain America gets a movie, the avengers get some action too. Look at what happened over the last ten years.🤔
@@ricky-sanchez True. They were 2 low budget movies. However, Fantastic Four also got a low budget movie in the 90s and a cartoon.
Isn’t the giant robot supposed to be a Sentinel?
It sure is
this game was hard as hell
It was but it was still fun
Vision was disassembled in the pages of West Coast Avengers (part of John Byrne's excellent but short run on the series). When he was put back together, he had lost his color. I believe he was still pale when the video game was released.
Very cool, I did not know that thanks
Yeah, I remember him still having the white color scheme (which I think was supposed to represent "clear" which was actually the original concept for the character's look) back in comics around the time this game came out.
GloopTrekker I might be wrong, but I believe it was revealed that the pale Vision was really an evil doppelganger from another dimension sent to infiltrate the team.
@@truefanforum3273 It's possible. I didn't follow his character closely after the series was canceled.
Giant robot is actually a Sentinel
I havent heard "its the only way my little channel can grow" anymore in newer videos....perhaps its time for a return with little changed to medium channel
I don't know if I remember this in the arcade I do remember the super Nintendo version I also remember it being very hard if I'm not mistaken
That version unfortunately was terrible. The arcade and even the Genesiss version was much better
I love the NES version. The soundtracks are few but very good. Although, it a bit too difficult for me at the time.
The robot is pretty much sentinel so that’s been in games 😀
It's a sentinel but maybe for licensing issues it was just called a robot.
Paulafan5 yeah pretty much they tossed him all over the place without a name just robot
Frank Castle no bro that’s sentinel
Frank Castle nope
Kung fu Master was created by irem..by the way,great vídeo!!
I should have said released in America by data East
Another great video. I always look forward to the next video. Keep them coming, your doing great!
Thank you very much
Yes! Loved this game as well! The colors and animation were just like a comic book. I never knew they had Genesis & SNES versions? I had the Gameboy version and honestly I thought it was pretty cool at the time, lol. I would love to see a true arcade version released for the modern home systems.
So would I that would be great
CAPTIAN AMERICA STILL NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!! AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!!
Papa shongo thatz a throw back
The mini boss robo octo is misspelled as robo taco 🤣
I can see the rush for the SNES version. I had both the SNES and Genesis systems at the time. I remember getting this for the Genesis because it came out well before the SNES version. I kinda wanted it for the SNES but after watching this I guess I'm better off I got it for the Genesis.
Yes, I was extremely disappointed in the super Nintendo version.
SNES version IS impossible. A lot of multiple hits enough for a boss just on the henchmen.
Yes, it's just a terrible conversion in my opinion
Spent 20dollars on this game, yes we beat it
LOL, I played it a lot as well
Love this game bought it again 2 weeks ago for the Sega Mega Drive
So do I, the mega Drive port is really good
