The Batman Forever game doesn't just base its controls on Mortal Kombat, it's literally built on the same engine. On top of that, the game never clears RAM, so if you beat a stage and play the game again, large areas of each stage will be exactly as you left it when you beat it the first time. The game is an amazing look into development hell.
@@woodeyelyegaming1401 It does, 'never' was a strong word I guess. It doesn't clear the ram on stage or game completion, so if you neither game over or power off the console nothing resets on its own, including timers for the timed stages. I heard about it during an AGDQ run.
Génesis ost bad? Dude that soundtrack it's insane. Really original, and sounds amazing. Maybe you don't like the electronic feel or it doesn't match the tv show but it's amazing tho
That's what I was saying... When he said it's 'TERRIBLE'... I immediately shouted 'WHAT?!' I frikkin loved that soundtrack! Very badass. One of the Genesis' best!! Got you in the groove of things... Especially on Co-op with a friend.

4:35 oh how the prices have changed in 2022. On Ebay right now, the SNES version isn't $70 anymore, it's now $170. The Genesis version also increased from $12 to $40 for cartridge only.
I wouldn't trust Ebay nor Amazon to get something like that, it could seriously be a bootleg, there's no warranty in that business, if you have a second hand game store in your home town specialised in that business then try to check them out in case they have a or a bunch of games that you're looking for, but whatch your back because some of them are crooked to the core... The prices are also subject to change any possible time, it all comes down to the store's owner... One of the most important thing to have is patience and keep an eye on from time to time dealers, you never know...
I remember playing the first level over and over for hours not knowing what to do. Heck the last level had a spot we never could figure out so we just cheated to get the final fight. We thought it was good too, unfortunately we were so wrong.
@@rjthecanadianYooo! Same story with my two brothers and I. It was a game we rarely put in the console as we didn’t know wtf to do except duals. Wasn’t until my early teens that I figured the whole game out and was blown away.
@@AAMPictures I think that era of gaming benefited from nobody really knowing if a game was good or not till you got it home. And I feel like back then most people had maybe 10 games and that's what you had.
Funny how the quality of the games matched the source material... Batman Returns = Formulaic but well put together. Batman Forever = Utter garbage. Adventures of B&R = A masterpiece. Bonus... Batman 1 (NES) = Iconic.
Adventures is not a masterpiece if they included Rubin and had more modes it could’ve been really good. It’s too slow and not enough time was put into it...
Thanks for mentioning Sega Genesis version! However, you can't be serious by saying that music is terrible! The soundtrack of this game is freaking awesome and can easily be in top 10 of all Genesis games.
Yeah, that made me do a double take. The music for the genesis BTAS is really intense awesome sounding techno done by the guy who does the soundtrack for the Hitman games. It's honestly some of the best I've ever seen someone take advantage of the Genesis sound chip, and the competition for that statement isn't light.
@@Jazaraca "This Yankee tuber is deaf" He must have listened to that crap for too long then. While the SNES Adventures of Batman and Robin has orchestral music right out of the cartoon, the Genesis version has extremely repetitive techno. I'm not saying a Batman game has to have music similar to the cartoon, but it just plain sucks. Both the NES and Genesis Batman games based on the Tim Burton movie as well as Batman: Return of the Joker for the NES sound a thousand times better. I'm convinced you Euro guys just haven't been exposed to as many good games as the US and Japan.
@@Jazaraca Nope. Just more informed. You should really expand on the games you play and listen too. Anytime I hear a Sega fanboy gushing about the crummy audio on the Genesis or how great a techno track is, they're always from Europe. Most of the Sega fanboys I've talked to in the US will at least concede that audio generally wasn't the Genesis' strong suit and part of that is because they can appreciate more styles of music than just Euro-club techno.
I can understand XGAD. 'cause it is somehow actually pretty unfitting imho. But i like the genesis OST because i have a huge affinity for the industrial genre. :)
KaMui1987 Yeah that's just it while it's not TAS themed, it'll sound good to someone who likes industrial, electro sounding music. The visuals though? Amazing.
Hey to each his own but the Genesis soundtrack of Batman and Robin is widely considered top notch. I mean sure the music has nothing to do with the Batman lore, but still quite solid.
The Genesis Batman and Robin soundtrack is widely considered top notch by Sega fanboys that live in an alternate reality where the Genesis has amazing audio capabilities and everything on the SNES sounds "muffled". They are truly delusional.
@@robvelor Not even close. You would not believe some of the delusional claims I've heard from Sega fanboys though. I even had a guy trying to tell me that Sonic the Hedgehog uses a physics engine, on a 16-bit console. Truly ignorant in the most extreme ways imaginable.
The genesis version of batman and robin was my favorite to play because of the music! The soundtrack for this game was amazing and still sounds good today.
That video brought great memories from my childhood. I owned The adventures of Batman & Robin (an awesome and faithful game) and Batman forever; enemies from the latter game had strange but hilarious names (Wobbler, Creditor, Mad Ned, etc.)
Batman Returns was a great game! I remember when I first played it, and was addicted to the sound on the SNES; it made that game so much fun. From what I remember, it was pretty hard too. I don't think I ever beat it.
I might be the only person in the world that absolutely loves Batman Forever (on the Genesis at least). On the SNES the controls make zero sense, but on the Genesis with its very limited number of buttons, it actually felt like it needed some combinations to fit all the possible abilities and gadgets and figuring out and mastering the usage of those things was part of the fun and felt like progress. The game was very dark, yes, and that, coupled with some foreground obstructions to the view and the dark/misterious soundtrack created one of my favourite atmospheres ever. Don't get me wrong, I understand why people hate it so much, but I would say that if you truly get into it with an open mind, instead of getting ready to complain about the things that "should be like this instead of that", you might understand what I'm talking about. It's a very unique game somehow that I think was misunderstood globally. If you jump into it expecting a fast-paced beat-em up, you're going to be disappointed, yes.
When i rented batman forever my friend thought the graphics were soooo cooool and i saw it as what it was a LEMON. Couldnt even get out of the first level because i didnt know how to grapple hook out. F that game FOREVER!
It looks and controls exactly like Mortal Kombat. So if BMF sucks, so does Mortal Kombat. Not sure why MK was ever popular other than the gore. Terrible clunky gameplay.
@@markedfodeath I was pretty good at MK and its dial a combo gameplay up to Ultimate MK3 I was a big fan. In retrospect, it was never a good series. It was always utter trash compared to Street Fighter and I was only impressed by it as a young lad because of the gore.
You lost me when you said the music for the Genesis Batman and Robin was terrible. It's amazing and I have the soundtrack saved to my phone. It was composed by Jesper Kyd. He did a few tracks for the levels on Borderlands 2 and those were amazing as well. Every now and then I find myself humming or bopping to the first level music in my head. That and the airplane boss track. It's sooooo good.
I want that batman and robin game, why cant it be as common as batman returns :D I love the animated batman series from the 90´s, the game perfectly captures the look of the series, it looks soooo awesome!!!
I have it on a SNES 100 in 1 cart. It ran me 30 bucks on Amazon. There are 3 different versions, I got the Japanese version. There are also other hard to find games on it such as Dracula X
It's too bad they're so expensive... it's not like you can download the retroarch app for free then go to romsie.com and get all the games for free... then just bluetooth your ps4 or xbox controller to your phone so you dont have to use the practically impossible touchscreen. That would be cool if we could actually do that.
@@miceatah9359 musically not though, those techno songs are phenomenal, and the composition is very good, and of course the sound desing is probably the most advanced on the entire genesis library
Back in high school someone traded me a couple of old Super Nintendo games bought from the local rental store for a nickel sack. Justice league Task Force and Adventures of Batman and Robin.....I think I won out on that trade.
I thought my game was glitched. Wtaching a YT video didn't help either since I didn't understand how to shoot up. I then saw AVGN's video and it all made sense. I still have it and still find it to be a fun time waster. Definitely no GoTY.
I didn't get a manual with my game and TH-cam didn't exist at the time. I spent a long time trying to figure out how to go up and down on that first level..
I loved Batman Forever for PC, hated it on consoles. The PC version has many more features, customizing controls being the most practical cuz you really needed more of an arcade controller setup than a console one. It also had a versus mode, cutscenes from the movie, and a challenge mode if I recall... haven't played it since '99.
The genesis batman and Robin was awesome and too hard for me as a kid. I cant wait to get it again. I know it's a matter of opinion but I loved the music.
The comment about the AoBaR soundtrack on the Genesis/MD probably has something to do with not just the music not matching what the show or SNES version had (which matches the show), but that he probably played it on an emulator or even a later model Genesis. Virtually all Genesis emulators do not get the sound right compared to an actual Genesis (look it up if you don't believe me) and it makes the sounds way harsher and more higher frequency that a lot of people don't respond that well to. Also, the Genesis had later revisions that had fairly horrible sound chips. So even if he (or you) played on real hardware, the game might sound muffled or kind of crappy.
Batman Returns is definatly my favorite SNES Batman game, The gameplay is fantastic for a beat em up game, the music from the movie is amazing, and its a really good movie based game. Adventures of Batman & Robin on SNES is much better than the Genesis version and I really adore that game.
I’m sure someone else explained this, but the reason why Robin looks weird is because this game was being made a bit before and during the production of the movie, and the video game creators didn’t have access to that Robin costume from the movie. So to get the game out in time, they just made a kind of Robin costume and ran with it.
Batman Forever was the only Bat Man game I've ever played, period, and the one I grew up on. I couldn't figure out the controls back then either. xD By that standard, these other games sound like they'd be a blast to play!
Well, i mostly agree with you. But as Batman Forever is one of my favorite SNES games i have to disagree. I can't recall the amount of time i'd spend on it, specially on the training/versus mode. It's far from perfect, but as long is it's fun it's enough for me. Also, in the 3 versions of the game (SNES, Genesis, MS-DOS), all 3 have different sprites of Robin. Just to add something; the only game that's mostly the same on both Genesis and Super Nintendo is Batman Forever. Returns and AoB&R are quite different (same with JL Task Force, if it counts for having Batman as a playable character), and also Genesis had Return of the Joker officially released, while the SNES version got unreleased (a prototype of it and reproduction of that proto are avaliable nowadays).
So crazy thing. Batman and Robin was only about 20-40 before Batman vs. Superman came out. Then for whatever crazy reason it went way up. I still have my original copy from when it was released. But yeah I remember looking it up about the same time Batman vs. Superman came out and it was up to 90 bucks.
I had Batman Returns for both the NES and SNES. Great games. The SNES game also has a couple of stages where you attack with batarangs, and it plays kind of like a run-and-gun 2D platformer. Never tried the BtAS one. Updating the list...
I remember renting Adventures of Batman and Robin on SNES and I couldn’t be able to get past the Riddle Maze where you answer the riddle of the Minotaur.
Played the hell out of Batman Returns. Unfortunately picked up Batman and Robin but luckily it was cheap and used at Blockbuster. I have no idea why I never picked up The Adventures of Batman and Robin? I absolutely loved the Animated Series and the SNES. Was it a limited release or released towards the end of the SNES lifespan? I don’t remember hearing much at all about it at the time.
It is! Forever is one my favorite SNES games. I know the moveset can be troublesome but overall its fun and also the training Mode ia like a fighting game, unlockable characters included
The Pal Version im Germany of Batman Returns costs around 7€ and the Version of Batman and Robin is about 25-45€. So it is not thaaat expensive over here ;)
Dude you are the man with these reviews. Gonna add these two to my Nintendo mini. Have my set up on 27 inch monitor. Logitech speakers. Like a little arcade minus the cabinet.
Only wrong about one thing, the Genesis Adventures of Batman and Robin game soundtrack is amazing... but you have to like industrial club music. Which I do.
I had Forever. It was so bad I don't think I really bothered beating level one, mostly due to confusing controls, and overall not knowing wtf to do at all.
SNES had some great Batman games. I loved that Batman Returns beat em up. The Sega Genesis version is way different but if possible check out Batman Returns for the Sega CD. That game is AMAZING!
As a kid I got stuck in the SNES B&R... the Sega version made it to the Poison Ivy stage with 1 life. Games were impossible for kids. If you beat any my hat goes off to you.
Idk man batman forever is one of my favorite old batman games. And i was only like 4 when i played it and remember beating the whole game with my brother. It was hard but i definitely wouldnt say it was unintuitive. Just took a little learning
I’m a big fan of your show and your content is usually spot on.... 🧐 however Batman and Robin on the Genesis has one of the best soundtracks of the 16 bit era! I get that taste plays a big part especially for music but to say that it plan sucks is ridiculous.
Batman Forever isn't that bad of a game. Those controls though...what made them frustrating was that the instruction manual didn't even have them right! But once you figured them out, or at least enough of them, there was some fun to be had. But I always played with a second player, so maybe that's why I enjoyed it more than most.
The Adventures of Batman and Robin was great, but... ugh... it could have used a few gameplay tweaks here and there. The biggest one is Batman doesn't run fast enough. If he ran 1.5 times faster, some levels would have been more manageable, especially for Catwoman's and Riddler's stages. In the Asylum stage, they could have used new bosses like Mr. Freeze and Killer Croc, alongside Clayface and Man-Bat. Finally, if there was a way to refill your items, that would have been much appreciated. Seriously, the Batarangs and Bombs were only useful against bosses.
shinmusashi44 still didn't March The movies. And it seemed like spandex. Also isn't the cape fully yellow..Tim's is black(sometimes with yellow lining).
Well yeah it doesn\t match the movie. but that isn't the point my my comment nor was it the person from the video. Yeah Tim Drake Robin cap is black on the outside and yellow on the inside. but the model in the game looks far close to 90s Robin than it does 60s Robin. Change the inside of the cape to yellow and it's 90s Robin. 60s Robin looked nothing like this one. He wore only underwear and "elf" shoes.
Batman Forever for the SNES was ridiculously hard to grasp for me as a child. I remember spending a couple of days to figure out some movements (I didn't have manual or anything like that hahahahhaa). But after that, I kind of like the game, but of course, there are better Batman games.
The art style of Batman and Robin is really fantastic for a SNES game.
I agree. But I remember the gameplay not being forgiving pretty early in game.
People never talk about the gameplay when they mention this game, always the graphics, art style or music. I wonder why...@@SignOfTheTimes008

Have a Genesis 3 so yeah, that was probably a factor
Thanks. I'm gonna have a great rest of my day.
Batman Returns is definatly my favorite SNES Batman game, The gameplay is fantastic for a beat em up game, the music from the movie is amazing, and its a really good movie based game. Adventures of Batman & Robin on SNES is much better than the Genesis version and I really adore that game.
I’m sure someone else explained this, but the reason why Robin looks weird is because this game was being made a bit before and during the production of the movie, and the video game creators didn’t have access to that Robin costume from the movie. So to get the game out in time, they just made a kind of Robin costume and ran with it.
Hell yeah, man! I remember rented that game before back in the 90s 2:57
I wonder if SOR4's double head bash move was taken from Batman Returns.
The Adventures of Batman and Robin is brilliant. I still distinctly remember the day I bought it as a kid, it was £20 brand new 🤣
Rented Batman returns on a many occasion and never could beat it. Hard game indeed but so nostalgic and loved playing it.
Batman Forever was the only Bat Man game I've ever played, period, and the one I grew up on. I couldn't figure out the controls back then either. xD By that standard, these other games sound like they'd be a blast to play!
Thank you for this episode! I'm a huge batman fan and I'm always looking for a good batman game. Keep up the great work bro!
Of all the Batman games my parents could have bought me for SNES, of course they choose freakin Batman Forever! 😖😩🤣
I play both animated series game in the supernintendo with an adapter these days lol, so im glad you mention it
I was with you until you called Jesper Kyd's soundtrack from the Genesis version of the Adventures of Batman and Robin
I couldnt believe it myself that he said that, the music on the Sega version is one of the best I have ever heard!
Well, i mostly agree with you.
But as Batman Forever is one of my favorite SNES games i have to disagree. I can't recall the amount of time i'd spend on it, specially on the training/versus mode. It's far from perfect, but as long is it's fun it's enough for me. Also, in the 3 versions of the game (SNES, Genesis, MS-DOS), all 3 have different sprites of Robin.
Just to add something; the only game that's mostly the same on both Genesis and Super Nintendo is Batman Forever. Returns and AoB&R are quite different (same with JL Task Force, if it counts for having Batman as a playable character), and also Genesis had Return of the Joker officially released, while the SNES version got unreleased (a prototype of it and reproduction of that proto are avaliable nowadays).
So crazy thing. Batman and Robin was only about 20-40 before Batman vs. Superman came out. Then for whatever crazy reason it went way up. I still have my original copy from when it was released. But yeah I remember looking it up about the same time Batman vs. Superman came out and it was up to 90 bucks.
I used to love Batman Forever lol
I had Batman Returns for both the NES and SNES. Great games. The SNES game also has a couple of stages where you attack with batarangs, and it plays kind of like a run-and-gun 2D platformer. Never tried the BtAS one. Updating the list...
Batman forever lol was the one my buddy had. I remember trying to figure out the grappling hook haha that game was awseome.
I remember renting Adventures of Batman and Robin on SNES and I couldn’t be able to get past the Riddle Maze where you answer the riddle of the Minotaur.
The answer is H.B.
SNES drunk thank you. Also Good job on doing classic nes, snes and Genesis games.
Played the hell out of Batman Returns. Unfortunately picked up Batman and Robin but luckily it was cheap and used at Blockbuster. I have no idea why I never picked up The Adventures of Batman and Robin? I absolutely loved the Animated Series and the SNES. Was it a limited release or released towards the end of the SNES lifespan? I don’t remember hearing much at all about it at the time.
Tim Burton made Mars Attacks too, its the mars martians with the big brains in Batman Returns.
Batman forever was great i played that game on the snes all the time
It is!
Forever is one my favorite SNES games. I know the moveset can be troublesome but overall its fun and also the training Mode ia like a fighting game, unlockable characters included
@@icantnamebatzarro Tru I still remember the codes
I played all these batman games except for genesis version. Out all of three Batman returns is a good beat-emup.
Drunk: Adventures of Batman and Robin is like seventy bucks for Super Nintendo.
Me: Fifteen men on a dead man's chest, yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
I played the heck out of Batman forever with my brother. We did beat it like twice:… good old days
The Pal Version im Germany of Batman Returns costs around 7€ and the Version of Batman and Robin is about 25-45€. So it is not thaaat expensive over here ;)
Wall jump is good when you also have a hook. Batman without hook (Nes version) is a big flaw
Throwing clowns back into light poles was fun in Batman Returns.
"Robin isn't even a playable character. Not that anyone would care, but still" Lmao
Batman and Robin on Sega has AWESOME music. You go to Hell.
Man I dont think I've ever seen that Batman & Robin game. It looks amazing.
I know this is old but there was a 90s Batman game on genesis that followed the first movie, it was dope first game I learned how to double jump
I love the adventures of batman and Robin. All bcuz I loved the animated series, nothing but fun fun fun to play.
1:25 didn't know that Valkyrie Profile has a prequel
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pass that rollercoaster stage in Batman & Robin SNES
Yeah, it's pretty hard! I found that ducking and kicking in the last phase helps because you can roll out of the way quicker.
Adventures of Batman & Robin for the SNES is super pricey lol. Been trying to find a good deal on it for a long time now.
I love your reviews, I agree with most of them hehe. Could you please review the Batman games on NES too?
I love the Adventures of Batman & Robin on SNES, but man was I disappointed that you couldn't play as Robin. I was a huge fan of the 90s Robin comics.
Adventures of Batman & Robin is based off of the show of the same name, not Batman the Animated Series. Hence the title’s mention of the boy wonder.
Dude you are the man with these reviews. Gonna add these two to my Nintendo mini.
Have my set up on 27 inch monitor.
Logitech speakers.
Like a little arcade minus the cabinet.
Only wrong about one thing, the Genesis Adventures of Batman and Robin game soundtrack is amazing... but you have to like industrial club music. Which I do.
I had Forever.
It was so bad I don't think I really bothered beating level one, mostly due to confusing controls, and overall not knowing wtf to do at all.
Anyone notice the batman sprite in Batman Retuns looks a lot like superman from the Death and Return of Superman?
SNES had some great Batman games. I loved that Batman Returns beat em up. The Sega Genesis version is way different but if possible check out Batman Returns for the Sega CD. That game is AMAZING!
As a kid I got stuck in the SNES B&R... the Sega version made it to the Poison Ivy stage with 1 life. Games were impossible for kids. If you beat any my hat goes off to you.
Idk man batman forever is one of my favorite old batman games. And i was only like 4 when i played it and remember beating the whole game with my brother. It was hard but i definitely wouldnt say it was unintuitive. Just took a little learning
I’m a big fan of your show and your content is usually spot on.... 🧐 however Batman and Robin on the Genesis has one of the best soundtracks of the 16 bit era! I get that taste plays a big part especially for music but to say that it plan sucks is ridiculous.
Batman Forever isn't that bad of a game. Those controls though...what made them frustrating was that the instruction manual didn't even have them right! But once you figured them out, or at least enough of them, there was some fun to be had. But I always played with a second player, so maybe that's why I enjoyed it more than most.
Super hiper mega game thanks for the share good job mn😉 i love all Batman games!!
I loved Batman Returns. I got it as a present for 8th grade graduation.
Great work Sir thank you
Batman and Robin SNES is beautiful. And you can actually play it. Batman forever was such a chore.
Good videos.
Subscribed.
The music isnt terrible in Batman and Robin for Genesis. What are you smoking lol
Robert NES816 He's not smoking anything he's drunk LOL!!!!!
The Adventures of Batman and Robin was great, but... ugh... it could have used a few gameplay tweaks here and there. The biggest one is Batman doesn't run fast enough. If he ran 1.5 times faster, some levels would have been more manageable, especially for Catwoman's and Riddler's stages. In the Asylum stage, they could have used new bosses like Mr. Freeze and Killer Croc, alongside Clayface and Man-Bat. Finally, if there was a way to refill your items, that would have been much appreciated. Seriously, the Batarangs and Bombs were only useful against bosses.
Now, The Adventures of Batman & Robin is almost $300 Canadian.
that konami batman is so damn hard
Which one?
That Robin costume is not the 60s version. That's the 90s Tim Drake costume. So at the time, it was the modern Robin costume.
shinmusashi44 still didn't March The movies. And it seemed like spandex. Also isn't the cape fully yellow..Tim's is black(sometimes with yellow lining).
Well yeah it doesn\t match the movie. but that isn't the point my my comment nor was it the person from the video. Yeah Tim Drake Robin cap is black on the outside and yellow on the inside. but the model in the game looks far close to 90s Robin than it does 60s Robin. Change the inside of the cape to yellow and it's 90s Robin. 60s Robin looked nothing like this one. He wore only underwear and "elf" shoes.
Ill never forget as a kid i had the choice between wwf raw or Batman forever, still dont forgive myself for picking Batman to this day lol
Batman returns and Batman and robin were and still are my favortite games
Batman Forever for the SNES was ridiculously hard to grasp for me as a child. I remember spending a couple of days to figure out some movements (I didn't have manual or anything like that hahahahhaa). But after that, I kind of like the game, but of course, there are better Batman games.
