Dragon Spirit: The New Legend is one of the most exciting vertical shoot 'em up games for the NES! It was originally an arcade game developed by Namco, but the NES version isn't just a copy of the arcade experience, its a new game that plays like a remixed version of the original!
So how did this game get made, and how is it related to Adventure Island II? In today's episode we'll find out, then we'll dive deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:
* The best way to complete EVERY AREA!
* How to win using the GOLD or BLUE Dragon!
* Secret Codes for extra lives or a Stage Select!
* Where to find hidden 1-UPs!
* How to make all SIX Maidens appear!
* What do all of these power-ups do? We'll find out!
* How to defeat EVERY BOSS, with or without full power... AND MORE!
Thanks for watching!

Nothing like waking up early with a cup of coffee and watching some classic games, kinda reminds me of when I was a kid waking up early on the weekend before anyone else and firing up the old Super Nintendo and start playing away. When times we’re simpler
Hands down one of the finest soundtracks on the NES. I remember one NES buyer's guide that rated every aspect of a game on a 1 to 10 scale (graphics, music, gameplay, etc) and Dragon Spirit was one of the few games to rate a 10 out of 10 soundtrack.
It is good!
It's because the original arcade game had a sick soundtrack to begin with, and the NES port team did a good job making it sound great on the NES hardware despite the limits. Some tracks are completely "different" despite being the same basic tune as they found ways to make it sound particularly good NES style. I actually like some tracks better on this game vs the original.
I watch these after work, very relaxing to just kick back and watch someone jam these old games. Thanks mate.
played this at a friends house in the early 90s. very cool
I love both the arcade game and the NES version. Great music, it has such a good soundtrack.
I love how the bad ending low-key implies you're a big baby who needed to be read a beddie-bye stowy before going to bed. Even when they were being nice, old school Nintendo hard games knew how to rub salt in the wound.
Dragon Spirit was a 'budget title'. I had it because it was affordable for my family, it was a great game and I loved it. Thanks for the upload~!
This is by far one of my favorite schmups for the NES. You get to fly around as a dragon and blast things with fire breath! And there are even different dragon types, too.
I remember this game from back in the NES era. I rented it all the time, and only recently found it at a gaming store. Good time!
Thanks for the video!
The only downside is the music. It's fantastic, but sadly it made me realize I never made up that tune I was thinking of it from this game.
I dont know how your able to be so consistent with how you do these videos but hats off to you and your production and schedule.
Its incredible how consistent YCBVG is with its content. Not to how many games on this channel have an extreme difficulty curve. I am very cursious if we will ever transition into the Playstation/GameCube/Xbox/Dreamcast Generation? Not that there isn't a ton Retro content from this Generation left to cover.
@alexkeeton5624 I would place ps1,saturn and dreamcas as retro. I would be all for a full video on Tales of destiny or castlevania symphony of the night.
As far as I am concerned? This is the best shooter on the NES. The perfect combination of story and gameplay and balanced difficulty. I asked for one thing when I was 6 and got this instead. I'm so grateful. Why does this game not get any attention? I don't get it!
It is good yes but have you played Gradius 2 Crisis Force or Summer Carnival 92 Recca?
this soundtrack was crazy good. the jungle theme is one of my alltime fav video game musics
You started posting videos to this channel on almost the same month when I first moved into my new house, it's been an unusual (and cool) way for me to keep track of time passing... Normally, I have real difficulty keeping track of events but with your memorable weekly submissions, it's been a great way for me to compensate. A bit unintentional, but you have my gratitude all the same.
This video is fantastic, what an amazing and thorough walkthrough! This has been one of my favorite games and soundtracks since I was 5 years old and have played it quite a bit over the past 30+ years. Thank you for explaining how to get the maidens at the end of each level, I get so mad every time I get a shadow and now I finally understand!

I LOVED this game back in the day!!!
One of my favorite NES games. I had this one as a kid. I have it via Xbox today.
You should ABSOLUTELY do the Capcom classic: Legendary Wings.
I doubt you'll tell me anything I don't already know about playing that game. Unlike this game, where I watched this vid just to learn all the stuff I couldn't figure out. Because I got this game years after I had time to figure it all out for myself. Thank you! But really, Legendary Wings is an A+ game imo. Not too long but great replay value. Love your channel. Keep on ROCKIN'!!!
I owned Dragon Spirit for the Turbo Grafx 16 I didn’t know the NES had a version! Glad I found this channel recently it is already one of my favorites!
I remember getting two copies of this for a birthday, so one of the gifters exchanged it for Crystalis. Definitely a double win for me!
Thats a solid Bday
This is one of my favourites, thank you!!
Good guide! Im a fan of both Nes and Arcade Dragon Spirit.
Not lying at all but this was my most played game when I was a kid. The music just felt so wonderful to fly around in.
This just brought back a buried memory. My mother bought this for me when it came out. I was one of those who thought it was an RPG, but it will still really fun. It was one of the first games I ever finished
I remember sitting in Walmart wanting a new game. I begged for the cheapest game and promised to clean my room before playing it. My parents caved and Dragon Spirit was mine. It turned out to be one of my dad's favorite games. Best deal he ever made.
We did beat it when I was a kid. Recently, I pulled it back out and had a perfect game (didn't get hit).
Both the arcade version of Dragon Spirit and its sequel, Dragon Saber, were rereleased on PS4 and switch as part of the Arcade Archives series
My father showed me xevious in 96. It’s now my character name in most games i play. Which led me to love dragon spirits playstyle.
Nice! Definitely one of the hardest shooters (for me, at least) that I remember playing as a kid, especially in the arcade.
The NES version is tricky, but the arcade version is crazy-difficult.
one of my most favorite games I had as a kid growing up. My mom still has an illustrated "book" I wrote for school about Dragon Spirit. The music was probably the most memorable part for me.
I had this game and played through is so many times. Great fun!
I know you might not see this now but you are the only thing to make traffic barrable, I just have to open the app, pull up the playlist and just hit somewhere all your walkthroughs are gems
Your so skilled at these games it's awesome, question?? How long does it take you to get a game down or mastered? just curious...
One of my favorite games for the NES
This game rules. Glad to see you covering it!
I once had this game CIB sealed, and actually only played my friend's game. It's also a fun arcade game as well!
I had NO idea this was available on the Switch - THANK YOU for this! I bought the original arcade version of it, which I never played before, but I wanted to play this version and I've been using an emulator. The Switch port is smooth as butter in comparison, and that makes it a bit easier to play.
The NES version is the best version. It’s hands down one of the top 10 games of all time. The OST alone is among top 5.
Werewolf: The Last Warrior please🙏
This is my favorite NES games ever! I liked it better than SMB 3!
This was the first game I ever remember seeing a commercial for, and might also be the first game I ever beat... as the gold dragon, but still. I've played through this a ton of times, but this is the first I've ever seen the exclamation point power-up; you always managed to teach me something new!
This was such an under rated game back in the day!
This game was running on the underpower hardware of the NES, if it would of released with the Genesis the title would of held truer to the arcade and had been on the radar for a greater acceptance. That is why it considered TRASH, blame the loyalist of Nintendo for this monstrosity. This game is nothing compared to the purist of the arcade.
Always makes my day better to see a new ycbvg video
It's so fun to watch cause they come out on Saturday or Sunday usually so I always eat lunch while watching one of these vids
59:11 Lol the dragon also gets anime happy eyes and starts drooling too…. Along with the wind blowing up the chicks dress.
I loved this game as a kid it's nice to see it getting this kind of attention. I beat it with the gold dragon a lot and while I got close I could never beat it with the blue dragon.
How did i not see this 😳
I found this channel with maybe only five or six videos on it and I've been in love with it since then keep up the great work.
Still blows me away how fast dogs get big
You are the Bob Ross of retro games!
Milon’s Secret Castle next please
In Area 7 you can shoot those 2. Look at my gameplay of the game. And you can use the upgrade with the 2 little dragons by your side too. They don't have a hit box so no damage for them.
The same vibes in the Amiga classic Apidya. The hero in that one transforms into a hornet for a scrolling shmup. And that box cover features him as a sword weilding warrior set on an action/adventure type quest.
Ayyy on a Sunday? This is going to get me through work today
Maybe I should give it a try on the Namco Museum Archives! (I got both entries)
And a correction - Dragon Saber can be played on the Arcade Archives via PS4 or Nintendo Switch!
Made my day this game and Mike Tyson's punch out where the first nes games my parents bought me good time s
allllright - love the mario paint into rough rough rough rough rough rough rough meow - as always - keep it going - congrats on the new website too :)
I really loved this game
Bro, your content is excelent. I know there is a Discord community and a Patreon Membership to chose your next videos. But I would really love to see some content about Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior IV. It is one of my favourite games on the NES. By the way, you are amazing, greetings from Argentina!
He has done the first three, so the fourth one is coming. In his Patreon video, he showed a vote that included Dragon Warrior IV.
@@jeremiahthomas8140 Oh, that's good news. Thanks!
Lots of good memories playing this one. Never got passed level 6.
This was probably my favorite NES top down shooter when I was a little kid, haha. Awesome seeing this.
Gun Nac for me! Both Are great
Jackie Chan and Adventure Island 3 were both in the Big20 last month!
Nice video. Very beautiful game
This was one of the only NES games me and my sister could beat when we were kids. The others were double dragon 2 and turtles 2 the arcade. I got to the final stage in the original Mario bros but, never beat it. It's kind of a tragic story why I didn't beat mario
Never even heard of this game, looks cool though and somewhat familiar. I think I saw something like this in an Arcade once.
I played this game SO much as a kid, absolutely loving how wild I could make my dragon look with three heads and so on. But I was also so young that the idea of facing that final boss frightened me, haha. I also thought the gold dragon was cooler, because it was gold, but of course powerups would turn it white or green anyway.
Ahh, I was hoping it’d be the TG16 port! 😅
You answered the one and only one question I ever had about this game - what causes maidens to appear or not appear. I knew the first one always did, and it makes sense regarding the two that are RNG, but the ones where they only show up if you're not maxed? Holy shit. I never saw that anywhere else I looked. Thank you.
This is the best American accent from a Chinese person I have ever heard.
This was my first game along with bionic commando
Hey my friend thank you for playing theses games, a lot of your videos have enlightened me on concepts and tricks. Could you try Super SpyHunter for the NES. please. I got to level 4 and got stuck. Thank you for listening. Peace out dog lol
that was awesome and it was nice to see my name in the video
Nice video! Never heard of this one before, but I always appreciate a shooter that opts for a non-sci-setting. Sometimes needing to not be in full-powered condition to get some of the maidens sounds like a pretty interesting idea.
Amazing ost
Playing this as a kid I could never figure out why it was gold sometimes and blue others! Thanks for the info!!
I remember when my dad bought this game for me I thought it was going suck,turns out it became one of my favorites.
I know you mainly do NES stuff, but I’d love to see you do Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals
For me, it’s one of the greatest games of that generation. I put it on the same shelf with Terranigma for ‘Amazing Games Few Have Played’
I absolutely love this game!
I know I saw it.....King of Dragons....the hidden continues, maybe hidden behind a foreground column. Magic Sword is a good game as well.
Dragon Spirit and Legendary Wings were my go-to shooters on the NES, Not as good as Gradius or Life Force but they had character.
Never played it but it looks like fun
There’s a namco machine that has this game where I work and I’ve been playing on my breaks after hours.
Not sure why but the graphics of this game give me big NES Godzilla King of Monsters vibes.
One of my friends had this when we were kids and I thought it was the coolest game ever but I've always been crap at shooters
I had this game! I remember the game over screens and music used to creep me out...
Why did I NEVER hear about this game or come across this in my 40 years of NES adventuring?!?😮
I bought this game thinking it was going to be like dragon warriors...I was wrong, but oh was so happy. Beat this on both modes, but can't beat arcade version. Dang you namco museum...I will beat you and sabre.
I love you for this one.
Great job
Last boss looks like a Simon Says, which is really just a floating throne for Simon, the last boss of Dragon Spirit The New Legend. He's mad because Simon didn't say!
Dark Quarters is the hardest level in the whole game. Good luck if you can even make it halfway through that level area.
man you make it look so easy :D
There should be a better way to surface older content on this channel. I just got to wondering if you would do Guardian Legend, and of course you already have! You might want to consider ZANAC, as it's a predecessor to Guardian Legend that's very challenging and fast.
Underrated soundtrack
I want this game so bad
At 54:00, it is the framerate that goes down when there are more enemies on screen, thats why it might look like the game speeds up with less heads but actually the game has the same speed, the problem is the enemy count on screen. The NES usually cant handle too much enemies on screen, so a game can slow down and u get flicker aswell. It looks like the boss moves slowly but as u can see when there is only one head left, the game´s frame rate goes back to normal.
I shall now refer to a group of sauropods as a squadron.
Where did you take the names for the bosses. In the manual the "Plesiosaurus" is called "C-Serpent" "Magma Phoenix" is called "Giant Firebird", "Griathrious" is called "Begonia" and "Gubria is called "Mammoth"... the only names that i could find besides Zawel and Galda. The 4th boss looks more like a bone dragon and the 7th one looks more like a giant stingray. Anyway, keep up the good work. I love your channel. I take inspiration for games i haven't played yet from your channel. I like that you make ultimate guides for JRPGs too. I wanted to make complete walkthroughs of my own for JRPs like Crysalis, Dragon's Quest, Final Fantasy and Super Robot Taisen 2 (the last one is japanese only). I will have to make them while i'm doing shorter projects because they are longer.
Some of the boss' names are different in the arcade version as well like the stage 2 boss being called the Round Phoenix
Dragons and dinosaurs?!?
Queue meme of little kid screaming "F**K YEAAAAH!"
Of of my favorite games as a kid. Thanks for the member berries.
have you played dragon view for snes? its a pretty fun game and original for its time
Wow, what an unexpected selection! I rather enjoy the deep dives for the more obscure games, and Dragon Spirit's a unique one. It's not the only dragon-based shooter on the NES: AD&D Dragonstrike has a similar premise, though it's a bit less linear (and not quite as good, if you ask me).
doggo goes mew :D
I've requested Section Z awhile back. I wanna request it again here. If possible I'd love to see it cause I really suck at it. Lol
That game at the beginning looks a lot like starship hector
