Хорошая игрушка👍. В отличие от второй части здесь есть элементы лабиринта - можно походить, поискать ништяки. А вторая более прямолинейная. Но во второй части зато костюмов много😊👍. В целом вторая конечно лучше.
I remember owning this game for the NES in the 90s. In fact, my dad bought it for me for a birthday present if I remember correctly. He hid it in the kitchen and I found it. I wish I still owned this game but it goes for a lot of money today.
@@waheedalam7927 I managed to beat 4 levels but got tired after beating miniboss of level 5. Those moving snakelike platforms got me killed. I was just a kid, duh.
This game is so vintage. These kids have no idea how hard we had it. No discs Blowing your oxygen hard into a cartridge, then to catch your breath in order to play. No batteries in the controller. Manual insert cheat codes. 8 bit 16 bit 64 bit. #WeStartedFromTheBottom
I had wireless nes controllers but I could never afford the batteries. One controller got messed up when the batteries leaked but that was ok because the buttons were big ovals on an angle so it was a pretty useless layout anyway.

Never knew Taito made a sequel. This game is one of the more shameless Rockman/Mega Man clones, but definitely has a lot of interesting elements. It's hard to remember back when the RM/MM series was actually relevant (instead of Capcom just letting it stagnate now). Taito (SE) should release a port of its 8-Bit games, including both Power Blade and Power Blade 2, as well as some of the ones unknown outside Japan like Don Doko Don series. Edit: Nevermind, I've seen this game used in Akihabara for ages now, but it's called Captain Saver lol. Always wanted to pick it up but can't justify the $200-400+ price tag the stores charge. Several months ago one even had a complete copy in bad shape and that still cost ~$200. Guess I'd never watched gameplay though, just screenshots, otherwise I would have definitely made the purchase.
how to beat an NES game: play it, play it, play it, until u remember every single step to take so u can finish a game in a single sitting hahaha I love this game. I continually played this over and over (with trials and errors of course) 'til I remember what to do and how to beat this game. I even played and finished this game in a single sit and w/o missing any lives. and even remembered how those squared snake-like platforms moving back then. ah, good old memories.......
LOL! This is no commentary on the gameplay quality of the game, merely on a something of the story. Spoiler 31:35 An alien wants to invade our planet with its army, but it wants us to pay for the invasion.
One of the first games i got for nes, but it was way too hard for a kid. I don't think i ever beat single level back then, so - sadly - i trade it for different game
I stopped doing that to myself years ago. Looking up the prices of the games I let go, complete and in box for less money than I could take to buy a meal. Shantae. Mega Man X3. Etc.
Actually Natsume developed this game along with the first Power Blade. I can tell because Kinuyo Yamashita was one of their former employees in their sound and music department.
The plot doesn't make a lot of sense. Are the bad guys called Delta Foundation or SP, first of all? What reason does the Department of Defense have to turn them down? And are they simply giving their own country's military first pick or selling their super-soldier technology to the highest bidder?
I am kicking myself in the face for selling this game, Bucky O' Hare, and Little Samson 15 yrs ago. Seen the price for them today, and immediately put tattoo of "dumbass" on my forehead!
Bob Jones - have you seen a Let's Play for The Magic of Scheherazade? There's one video on the game here on TH-cam that's almost 5 hours long...along with Dick Tracy and Who Framed Roger Rabbit (more than a hour a piece) as well as Back to the Future Parts 2 and 3 (almost 3 hours long) plus Wizards and Warriors 3: Visions of Power (1 hour, 45 minutes).

Finally I've found this game!
Almost 25 years later and out of nowhere this video appears!
Batman, Contra, TMNT1, and Megaman rolled all into one...Sound effects and all. I need to play this game.
+psychodrama81 Power Blade 1 is BETTER!
Arguments??
Imo, Power Blade 2 is damn BETTER. PB1 was like playing the same level for 6 times, ladders everywhere, making it like a labyrinth. Nothing special happens between the levels. PB2 is more straightforward with more abilities, better graphics. Both had great music though.
Good luck raising at least $500 though...... this game is expensive.
Keep an eye out in Goodwill for that scarce opportunity, I guess. I found a copy for about 37 cents back in 2004 but I no longer own it and collecting's a lot more popular than it was.
Joshua Timbol there's a clone of it on etsy for like $30. I've bought games from there and they all play perfectly on my nes. Just a suggestion
I discovered this game when I was just playing random NES games I never heard of on an emulator. Great and fun gameplay. I have the stage 3 theme in my music playlist. It’s so good to listen to.

Let's face it... It was the suits wasn't it?

Yea its hard to find tis game.....I think I still had the game casket or something already rusting......wish I had stored it somewhere safe......
This was one of my most favorite games on nes console. Game was just awwesome and soundtracks were too catchy.
This game was the most difficult game until i learnt to change suits.stage 3 music is awesome
I had no idea about the dragons until my cousin told me about them! I thought the backgrounds were just backgrounds.

This NES game was much better than watching any hollywood movie even at that childhood time :)
What a story line and music!!! THAT TOO OF 8 BIT LOL
Este juego lo jugue cuando tenía 6 años y nunca lo pude encontrar, gracias algoritmo de TH-cam :)
Awesome game. Soundtracks were very catchy. I even searched this game many times for SNES platform but never found.

My childhood memories! I loved this game so much
I played this one as a kid, never got to play Power Blade 1 and I see everyone say it's a lot better. I thought this game was pretty good!
IDK, I have Power Blade 1 and this one looks every bit as good as the first one. Never played this one though.
let's torch this place and get away XD
This game is a just like NES game Shattered Hands even the whole lay out is like it and even the music is the same.
Bring me nostalgia
Merry X Mass!

the music was better in part 1
Nathan136 No it wasn't.
Yes it was. a 5 to 2 ratio in quality

They cant make this games again. They wouldn't
