Power Blade is an underdog platformer by the folks at Taito, highly reminiscent of the Mega Man series. The player takes control of NOVA, a hero who looks a lot like Arnold Schwarzenegger and who must destroy a maverick computer with a boomerang. This is one of those obscure games that you may wish you had played as a kid.
In this run, scrimpeh ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/s... ) saves 02:30.00 minutes over the previous movie ( tasvideos.org/1265M ) via route changes made possible by new glitches involving ladders and grenades. Details are in the author's comments ( tasvideos.org/6553S ).

This movie has a full Atlas Map encode ( • Power Blade (Any% TAS)... ), which shows the standard encode overlaid on a zoomed out map. - เกม

He is the happiest man in all of video game history! His day has started and he KNOWS what to do and he is going to do it! Just look at him prance as he walks, such grace!
That walk cycle.
The Japanese version, Power Blazer, was very cartoony, with cutesy super-deformed characters versus the more "realistic" characters in the US version. The main character looks more like Mega Man than Ahnold.
The music makes me feel nostalgic even though I've never played this game before.
Australian Duke Nukem!
It's always a thrill to find a game like this that I only once saw in an ancient GamePro review, only saw a few screenshots... and finally get to see how it looked in action.
PSSST. YOU MUST BE NOVA.
Are you my contact here?
Fantastic game. Lots of folks speedrunning it as well. OldSchool_Richard doing a 17:20 time a month ago is pretty impressive.
Crazy amazing!
Casi lloro al recordar esto, lo jugaba con mi hermana de pequeños :')
cool game
Castlevania + Megaman mechanics and sound.
The music was composed by the same person that did The NES CV games soundtrack
i didnt know there was a duke nuken game for nes
Wonder if someone could TAS the Japanese version of this called "Power Blazer"?
Is this heavily influenced by Rockman/Mega Man?
Got them vibes too
The game was made by Taito, but yes it definitely has the same flavor as a Rockman game.
🙄
Still waiting for *Power blade 3* on Wii U.
3:16 how does that even happen?
0:50 has me stumped
Title screen looked like cirus from trailer park boys lmao
Yes cracks are likely
The game is fantastic on a technical level, but sadly it's hard to avoid trying to figure out where Taito ripped off concepts from more popular NES titles while watching it (especially obvious is the influence of Rockman/Mega Man).
The character Nova is much like Contra's char. Some tiles resemble most from Castlevania, and the soundtrack uses an inspiration by Konami.
Power Blade(X
Power Boomerang(O
コントラとロックマンを足して割ったようなほのかにグーニーズ風味も
BGMはコナミっぽいけどカプコン臭さとアイレムとかナムコとか。。。
そしてタイトー開発とな？？ファミコンと違ってNESはカオスですな！それが良い
wow, they were pretty shameless on all the game assets they ripped off, weren't they?
uhm wtf is happening every time he faces a boss. can someone explain that to me hhahhahaha
The Japanese-only NES game based on Samurai Pizza Cats has pretty tough bosses; that is, unless you use the main character's Level 3 Ninpo attack immediately as you enter the boss chamber. For some reason this causes the boss to immediately die before even entering the chamber, possibly because the boss' HP counts up from nothing at the start of the fight instead of starting off full, allowing the Ninpo to hit them instantly when they're at 0 or 1 HP.
This also works with some bosses in another NES platformer called Power Blade: if the boss is vulnerable to damage right away, you can use one of your grenades that acts as a Smart Bomb to kill them instantly.
(The TAS might actually be using the boomerang as soon as they enter the door to hit them.)
