- A complete playthrough of SNK's 1988 NES game, Ikari Warriors II: Victory Road. Check the review, media, and soundtrack at www.nintendocom...
Please excuse the excessive length intro. I have no idea why the designers felt the need to make the text drag on so long.

The music is incredible.
WOW.. That ending.. just absolutely phenomenal. It just made you feel all the work and time was all worth it. A real accomplishment. The way it went to a black screen with the word "end" ... ... There are just no words for the perfection.. it left no room to improve upon, that's for sure.
End.
CONGRATURATION!
It was so cool to have a voice on an NES game back in the day, even if you had to guess what they were saying. I finished this game with much aggravation and never played it again. Way better than the first IMO. Thank you for the video.
Excruciatingly slow intro text is ridiculous
Yeah the challenge was to not fall asleep before the game started
Just spent 5 minutes listening to all that ticking 😬
It's in morse code (for reasons that aren't all that clear). Slowed it down 50% to verify.
The whole game is slow
I'm convinced at this point that Micronics was staffed entirely by stroke victims.
There was NOTHING redeeming about this game. Back in the day, I got 1 game a year, and I was so excited when this came out. I got this game as my birthday present and I was beyond disappointed, but you couldn't return games so... Bad memories here.
@@eternall808 Bro... You couldn't grow up in the late 80s and not know the Konami code. Hell, it was right there in my Nintendo Power magazine! I wouldn't even bother trying LifeForce without it! I used it on this game, but it wasn't as helpful here. IIRC you build up your weapons, and if you died, you lost your weapon progress. I would always get to the final boss and could never kill the guy. A sword and grenades... Bleh. It wasn't obvious that you were doing any damage so I thought I was doing something wrong.
So am i the only one who absolutely loved this game? It looks like so lol.
Probably lol. I guess as a kid it was pretty neat but just a day rental for me. A lot of nes games were really just day rental level.
Jay Roberts i have fond memories of it but I was very young. It’s not really a good game, per se...but it’s definitely original in how bizarre it is, cool music and voice samples
Im with ya man, I loved it as a kid.
I completed this game many times.. mostly because I enjoyed the soundtrack.
It’s an improvement on Micronics’ previous Ikari Warriors port, that’s for sure
I remember this game for NES. As a kid, I found one spot towards the bottom-right of the screen. If you stand there, NOTHING can hit. No enemies, no bosses.
Except for the last boss.
I never beat this game...
even with a technique like that?
@@highstimulation2497 The last boss was the only one that didn't move in the same pattern as everyone else. And you needed to use the sword on him, I used grenades on everything else.
I have always been obsessed even to this day with what your character, Paul is saying as he dies or gets killed.... "SQWAAA!!!" The most bizarre game ever
Dito!
My brother and I used to run around the house yelling HWAAAA
God this game was such a mess. But dear lord I loved it.
This along with the original game was converted by the awful compnany know as "Micronics" who did a lot of conversions on the NES which were piss poor in quality. Evenutally SNK said "to hell with you guys, we'll do NES games ourselves" Thus we started getting amazing ports like Guerrila war,Iron tank (TNK),Ikari III and even the coveted original SNK game Crystalis!
+TheDemoniusX Yeah, SNK's rep had taken a few heavy blows because of that team. I mean, Athena? How was that seriously released?
Athena was truly an awful unplayable mess of a game. I had a friend who was on SNKs dick and in his mind they could do NO wrong. This same friend bought the game and played it for a few hour claiming it was "great but challenging", No words could express the idiocy in his statement. Micronics did a sloppy job (no surprise) porting that game even though it's original arcade outing was piss poor anyway...
No kidding. The difference between this and both Iron Tank and Guerrilla War were night and day. F Micronics!
Not to mention P.O.W. and Baseball Stars.
This game was a complte bomb in the arcade. Youd be lucky to find it anywhere. At least the nes version made the game somewhat appealing giving it a rpg sense cause an arcade duplicate wouldnt have helped it at all.
This is one NES game that I don't have fond memories of, LOL.
Nightowl358 yeah, im having some sort of adverse reaction to remembering playing this game!
Move over Yanny or Laurel debate, Welcome or Bathtime is where it’s at! 8:06
Yup. I definitely remember beating this game. It's been so freaking long
I never could beat this game, that damn sword didn't do anything.
This game made no sense to be but this was a trip down memory lane. The sound track just sticks in your head!
8:06 - Bath Time!
BATHTIME?
Vance's VHS Archive
Bath Time!
AVGN anyone
More like “Welcome!” even though the sound quality is so poor. Lmao!
I always thought the shopkeeper was saying "bed time" instead of "welcome." lol
+sharpshooter188 Hahaha I thought bath time. You know it's bad when all you can do is guess at whatever the static noises might sound like they might be saying!
sharpshooter188
Did you get that from AVGN? LMAO!
I thought "Lunch Time!"
Or “Break Time”!!
What about the boss at least at the beginning, sounds like he says “feed me stuff!” 11:03
4:05 to skip the intro.
C'mon let's fight!
As a kid, I remember having to frantically hit, "A, B, B, A. A, B, B, A." over and over.
Mortal combat
Almost like A,B,A,C,A,B,B
what's wrong with the extreme slow ass texts in the intro ?
I'm pretty sure that was the "Morse Code" that was advertised on the box.
Why they thought it was a good idea to include it is still beyond me.
hijong park it feels like a bad joke
Maybe it's because the localization team had l i t t l e m o n e y to do their job.
@@TheBronzeDog i see you FFT lover.
Welcome
Bath Time
Amazing how you have no idea what you are doing, but Kudos for a legit lets play without annoying audio instead of a speed run or a master thing. ^_^
11:10 sounds like "Jesus Christ!"
horrible sound quality but I think he's saying, "Easy Stuff"
I always heard "Here it comes"
If it was based on the arcade version (which actually has clear voices compared to this abomination) it's supposed to say "He is tough!"
@@SNARC15”Come on, let’s fight” and “Welcome” are the most understood speech files in the NES port. I believe that the actual arcade line is “He’s tough” rather than “He is tough” but I could be mistaken.
I thought it was "It is done!", but I like yours better.
11:10 Guess he's supposed to be saying "He is tough" as in the Arcade version
And you'll never convince me that it's not the warriors shouting "JESUS CHRIST!!!!" upon seeing the horrors about to attack them.
I still yell this to my cousin occasionally. He remembers.
“Hey, sweet stuff!”
FEED ME STUFF!!
Am I the only one who thought the sound when the sword was being swung was Paul going “fuck fuck fuck”?
Thanks for the post I always wondered what was beyond the second level. If I ever die in battle, I'll shout, "Raahhhh"!
I miss this game
Well this brings back childhood memories its soooo freaking weird!
That speech is totally awesome!
This game was a "hot mess".
I remember walking into the store and hearing "Welcome".
I still played it tho.😁
Could that intro text go any slower?? FFS!
Crazy how the screen would go dark for long periods of time when switching between scenes. It's like the game needed a loading screen or something.
Once i got the boomerangs it was over for the bad guys!
Oh also the Ikari Warriors are Ralf (RED) and Clark (BLUE) Who soon be later in other years to be on Metal Slug 6,7 and XX
"VELCOME!!!"
0:22 GOOD GRIEF!!
"When English is your 3rd language" speed
I know the voices in the game "Come on, let's fight!" and "Welcome," but could never figure out what the bosses said. Does anyone know?
Sounds like Japanese for the first one. Ki ki sstah!
He is tough
Jesus Christ!
This was the very first game I bought for the NES (after the packaged Super Mario).
My father gave me a choice between 2 games at the store. I picked this because I loved the arcade version.
The other game? "Zelda" something.
I'm sure I made the right choice...
Me and my neighbor Mikey used to play this all the time. 😀😀
LOL!! My old *48* year old *** , Just now learned, the sword was meant to *deflect* ! 🤦🏿I always tried to slice him and fiqured he, just gave the sword as a trick! 🤦🏿
This game is actually fun to play, but excruciating to watch. The pace is very slow and deliberate. The arcade is no different.
*"WE EAT SPAM!!!"*
swinging the swords sounds like "fuck fuck fuck"
Fond memories
Thank you for this - I was horribly disappointed in this game after the first one. Glad I finally got to see how it ended.
Ohhh, I realized that the text going so slowly, one letter at a time with those beeps, is because it's Morse Code. Not a bad idea in theory, but in execution, it just makes for painful tedium. Too bad nobody thought that through when they made the game.
Ralph Jones and Clark Steel before KOF 94
I just started playing this but it actually seems pretty fun besides being a bit tedious.
Wow this sucks. It's way worse than I remember.
Rerro..lets fight!
I forgot what an absolute mess this game was. Good soundtrack, but it's SOOOOO slow and clippy.
Yo fuck this game. Still gives me bad memories after 30 years.
8:06
"BATHTIME!" (welcome)
Break time
Those load times.
8:06 B̴̞̩͋̃A̴͖̲̓̚T̴̲̭͑H̵̨̰͌T̴̗̤̏͆Î̷̟̔Ṁ̷̟͜È̷̟̎ (thanks, AVGN!)
8:06 BREAD time!
game was a classic
but
I
can't
stand
this
one
word
bs
I
wish
they
did
it
faster
😵😨😰
this game was only around 40 minutes long? i swear playing co-op back in the day it took at least 6 hours maybe we were taking our time 🤣
Did he said bath time avgn 🤣9:32
Break time
A B B A. anyone remember?
Knowing me, knowing you, it's the best I can do
@@NintendoComplete if you pressed A B B A on the controller after you died in this game you were able to start on the same level you died on instead of the beginning
@@gary19222 I know. It was an Abba joke.
8:06 "Bathtime!"
Break time
The music makes no sense :(
A B B A
BATH TIME
The only hard part of this game or ANY NES cartidgeses was blowing into them and making sure they worked lol
EEH HEE FIGHT!! 11:10
I beat this game so many times back in the day but this guy clearly doesn't know how to use anything but that stupid boomerang.
that end though...jesus fucking christ.
God! Castlevania 2's ending was more faster than this intro!!! (BTW is there anyway to skip this intro out of curiosity.)
that's a little frustrating. I didn't realize it, but I made it to the end of the game as a kid. I suppose at least I lost to the end boss
tycho042 lost every time. never beat him. glad to know now I didn't miss an awesome ending...
8:06
"BATH TIME!" 🤪
First time i played NES in 1987, we rented one along with SMB' Breakthru, Gradius, Trojan and this game. So as bad (and weird) as this game is it is forever tied with my first time playing an 8-bit system (i did get my start on atari 2600 otherwise)
Dude, how did you not die around 23:00 ? So many close call, you should play the lottery then with that luck.
8:06 BATHTIME!
Breeeak time
8:06 Bath time?!
It's break time not bath time . People now a days are just tools
And avgn has sold out
what the fuck was the point of the sword? you just grenade them to death? the feed back on enemy damage in this game makes it 0/10. it sucks because you have no idea if you are hurting them.
8:06 bathtime!
What do the bosses say lol.
I was so disappointed when I turned this game on and started playing. Not like the arcade game!
I wonder what happend to Micronics?
Damn, its me or all the developers have a great talent to do great shitty games.
Last I remember was they did the SNES port of Raiden Trad. Not sure about after that.
SNARCast Productions Maybe they went an bled out on an old, soiled mattress in a urine-scented alleyway. Karma sucks like that.
His game was a total mess. One wrong step in the first level and you’re dead in 5 seconds. Look how they walk and it was so slow. The best part was when you went the bar and fought a guy. Loved the music. And how at the end of the first level the boss the guy goes “THIS IS FUN.” Never made it past the beginning of level 2.
zang zip, such problems
worst intro ever
Nowhere near as good as the arcade version. A stone head torments you yelling out "WARRIORS! SHOW SOME GUTS! YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME! COME GET ME IF YOU CAN! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Ugly, nasty repetitive game. Worst one in my collection as a child. I hated it and was so mad at myself for years for picking it out when there were so many better games. Really the worst childhood gaming memory I have.
怒
crap game...even when it just came out.
da fuq?
This game was beyond trash!
this is like...an unfunny joke.
God awful NES game.
