Thought i would try this game again spent hours playing left my NES on to try stage 5 again in morning got in bed saw this video and 30 mins later I have finished batman for first time 😍 thank you for a great video. I got some unfinished business with ninja gaiden next
Thank you so much, Dean! This comment made my whole day! Good luck on Ninja Gaiden! I'm sure if you can beat Batman you can do it. The most important thing is just knowing you might have to play that mean last level more than once, but if you do, you get to bring Spin Slash, and you can't lose.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Thanks for the tip and replying back. Beating batman has gave me confidence going forward with these tough games i will be sure to check out your guide and your other content going forward keep the good work up 👍
@@voltrondefofunv5708 try not punching, just dodge and pay attention to his pattern. May take awhile but do that with every character and you’ll get there. Been a long time but I use to be able to beat punch out without a single down. Takes a lot of practice .
My name is Josh I've been watching your TH-cam channel for one year now and I love your videos they've been very helpful for some of my NES games I've been playing I play the NES Nintendo 64 Sega Genesis and super Nintendo and I love your channel please keep making cool videos my name is josh
I can't believe I was so close to the end! I was 3 jumps away from the top and I always messed up the wall jump. Now I'll be able to try again with a renewed confidence! Thank you!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames this is wonderful... guess who you're currently helping gain the confidence to beat BatMan... me! I've been getting to the 4th level boss and wanted a boost lol. love to know you can just duck up there and punch. you made the last level look simple enough too. great work!
Sunsoft and Capcom always had great music. And that game actraiser from enix has pretty. Good graphic . enix always had really good graphics as well as music.
I love these videos. They are well researched, super informative, and very nostalgic. I love how his narration isn't over the top and there isn't seizure triggering special effects.
I can't believe this actually works, I got to the 3rd level using your video and I truly suck at video games but love playing them, can't wait to keep going! Thank you for all your help! Have a great day everyone.
Your videos are so well done. The history lessons at the beginning are great and you’re seriously so chill explaining how to beat everything. Keep up the excellent work
Thanks to you, I've finally beaten the Joker. Never thought I'd even see him, much less defeat him. Great content here, man. I won't lie, I've spent many nights in bed trying to fall asleep, and just listen to you explain various games (ones I've never heard of, either). Keep on keeping on, amigo! I look forward to the day when you start tapping more into Genesis games.
Let’s not gloss over how amazing the music in this game is. Great video, loving this channel. I never beat any of these games as a kid. I was very young when playing these and hadn’t hit my stride yet, but the few times I have revisited any of these, I found them unbelievably hard and bailed out
I think I get why select is pause and start is weapon swap. With it set like that you can keep Batman moving while switching weapons. Less chance of getting hit and no need to stop what you're doing to change weapons.
Man, I'm glad I found your channel after your TMNT video showed up in my recommended. This was another one of my favorite NES games. I think I coveted it even more because my buddy owned it and I only got to play it when he let me borrow it. I could never beat the Joker. He did, but apparently right after he did his older brother jumped up in excitement and ended up yanking the NES down for the tv stand because the controller cord was under his shoe. The game of course reset and he never got to see the ending.
Great channel, keep it up. I love how you actually use the in game name as meant by the designers for every mob and weapon. Also, Batman has one of the best NES soundtracks.
Batman throwing criminals to their death was his core trait in the comics. In Detective Comics #27: "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate", Batman's debut, he lifts a fat man named Stryker over his head and throws him into a vat at Apex Chemicals and says "A fitting end for his kind", before disappearing through an open skylight. Batman was created to be a pulp action hero like The Phantom, he even used guns. The reason he stopped killing and using guns was because of the Comics Code Authority. Now while we all love the more heroic Batman of the 60 Adam West show and 90s animated series, we must NEVER forget Batman started off as a deadly gun-toting vigilante. In fact, I want to see a story where that is his character arc, shifting from vigilante to hero after her first battle with Joker and Joker's determination to break Batman is to try and get him to revert back to his deadly ways as a never-ending reminder of how he started.

I like watching speedruns but watching the game get completely destroyed isn't a learning experience most of the time. This channel is a refreshing change of pace.
I didn't own this game as a kid but one of my best friend's did and I'd play it at his house. Difficult but the look, feel, and sound was amazing. This game is a great example for why pixel art took off.
Thanks a lot, Bits! For anyone reading this - BitsAndGlory has a pretty cool retrogaming channel that I like to watch when taking a break from my own videos. Worth a look!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Thanks for the plug, I appreciate it! Honestly though I'm not surprised to see you doing so well. I think the first video I found for you was Legacy of the Wizard and I remember saying to myself how you were a very unique & informative channel!
I like the tone as you explain your strategies. It reminds me of online lectures with math professors at my community college. Keep up these videos, you’re doing a great job with your presentation(s)!!!
Fantastic. Beat this before, but always love seeing other tips and tricks. Had no idea so many enemies could be despawned. Would love to see bionic commando next.
@@pointedspider This one is definitely on the schedule for the next couple weeks. My next video is recorded already, (I'm still working on the graphics and the intro), but we'll probably see a Bionic Commando episode at the end of this month or beginning of next month!
6:43 some third party controllers offer a "slow motion feature" that rather consists in a "turbo pause mode", which is commonly set in the start button. By placing the pause function in the select button this and other games avoid the use of that feature and prevent cheapening the experience. Game developers use that strategy or set a long "pause sequence" like in the Street Fighter II franchise for SNES -I had the games and system so I totally remember it. Its a great channel, keep up the outstanding work.
This is a thing of beauty! Love these videos! Thanks for the upload and all the hard work! I was sooo close to beating this back in the day, now I'm ready to finish it!
My brother brought over a shoe box of old NES games. This was one in the collection that I've never even played. Going to give it a whirl on the original hardware!
hey man... just a lil note... i listen to your commentary on games before i go to sleep and pass out to ur voice... your voice so soothing and calming hehehehe
I borrowed this game from my friend back when I was in high school I could never beat the second stage I only had it for 2 days good memories playing this it kind of reminds me of castlevania
My mother bought me this game for Christmas was I was 10. Had NO IDEA I was getting it (I hinted around it to her), but i went crazy on Christmas morning when "Santa " got it for me!!
I remember my brother and I could never beat the joker back in 91 when I got my NES for Christmas along with Batman! 1 night I was playing it with a friend and I made it to the end and my brother had just came home. He took over and beat the Joker!!!! We were so excited! I never played Joker and beat him myself but I would love to try! I remember most of all the tips here!
"...Will have to track down a NES cartridge" - I love how the narration for these videos totally avoid the reality of emulators when making these claims about how to play them; it's CHARMING. :-) Thanks for the great video as always.
Your videos are super entertaining. I LOVE all of these games dearly and its nice to see that these tips are being catalogued in such a well presented way. Keep rocking!
I believe the Start button being used to switch weapons instead of the Select button helps the player being as comfortable as possible. The Start button is closer to the B and A buttons on the controller, so it might just be better to take your fingers off the jump and attack buttons to switch weapons instead of taking your fingers off your movement buttons. Sure it takes a fraction of a second to press the button if you're quick enough, but a fraction of a second still could make a difference in combat with a boss, for example. Another game that did something similar was Godzilla on the NES. Godzilla can punch with B, kick with A, and the assigned button for his atomic fire is Start, surely because Start is closer to the action buttons than Select is.
8:11 This enemy is unique and has a pretty cool attack pattern that hardly anyone ever sees because everyone kills him before he can do anything. He will jump around, slash with his sword and throw stars, he's like a cool miniboss.
Took me literally forever to beat the dual container alarm eventaually with some fancy dirks while dropping down between the second and third block, so much so I remember that fight most of all after all this time, and yet duck and punch...
The reason they chose the Start button (instead of Select) to cycle through weapons is so you'd be able to switch while having better control of moving. If you need to switch weapons while walking or in the middle of a jump, you don't have to worry about taking your thumb off the D-pad at all. This way you have full control of Batman at all times with no interruption. The SNES, thankfully, introduced shoulder buttons.
That's a really good point, AJR. I can see that making a lot of sense, especially if testing this game for hours internally, I could see coming to the conclusion that the button on the right side was better for changing weapons on the fly. It's hard to fight against the muscle memory that you get from the 99% of other games that use START as Pause, but I suppose if you try to play this game on a high level - like a speed run or something - I can see keeping your thumb on the D-Pad as being important.
Love these videos so much. You have a dedicated fan here. I was able to beat Batman now on NES thanks to your videos I'm 2 for 2. Ninja Gaiden next.... wish me luck.
Congratulations!! I love hearing that! Good luck on Ninja Gaiden - you can do it! Don't get discouraged if you get killed by one of the end bosses, just take a minute to regain your composure, and then get back up there with the Spin Slash!
My good friend had this game when we were kids and I remember it being oh so so damn difficult for us kids who were like 10 years old or so. It was a huge accomplishment for us when we finally beat it. We were able to get to Joker multiple times before but it was some random saturday afternoon we finally managed to beat him. The feeling was awesome. The game also has a totally awesome soundtrack. I would say it's only second to Mega Man 3 soundtrack.
Batman return of the joker would make another great video. And you are right, the battle with the joker is one of the most difficult on the nes. I had to rent the game two times to finally beat him when I was a kid. I despawned the tanks when I was little, but never thought you could also despawn the enemies on the wall jump area in the last stage, it sure makes it much more easy to reach the end!
OMG!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this game!! and the MOVIE, and the SOUND TRACK(which was done by Prince)and that car!! "Chicks dig the CAR!" SUNSOFT made a lot of incredible games for the NES could you guys do a walkthrough on BLASTER MASTER? That was a great game. Thanks for the video❤✌
Always interesting to learn a bit of history about the games. That was actually a good approach Sunsoft had. Start development before trying for the license so you have a better quality game.
I feel like this wasnt going to be a batman game at all and they changed some stuff and added the sprites. Think about it, joker wasnt supposed to be in the game, the enemies were just weird and way off, the wall jump hmm?
Loved this game. Perfect difficulty level too imo. Challenging but not impossible, and when you die you feel like it was your own fault and not something cheap in the game. Sometimes enemies respawn too fast and thats annoying, but other than that its ok I think. Joker isnt bad at all once you know the pattern.
Thanks for the sub!! This game was def tough as a kid - I remember the first time I beat the Joker, I used Game Genie for infinite lives (and maybe Infinite ammo, too) and fought him for HOURS. At some point I finally won, probably got a little bit lucky. Tried to beat it again another time and couldn't do it. It was so refreshing to come back as a adult and really beat him.
I watched some your vids just for the retrospective, and this one blew my mind. Journey to Silius was supposed to be Terminator?? Imagine what Batman would've turned out without the license.
If you’re good enough at fighting in this game, you can brawl with the jader’s by moving slightly when they’re in the air, and moving back and getting a single punch in, before retreating, and repeating the process…I had to learn to brawl with the jaders a lot since by the time I got to them I was out of ammo

Always interesting to learn a bit of history about the games. That was actually a good approach Sunsoft had. Start development before trying for the license so you have a better quality game.
I feel like this wasnt going to be a batman game at all and they changed some stuff and added the sprites. Think about it, joker wasnt supposed to be in the game, the enemies were just weird and way off, the wall jump hmm?
I came here to find the name of the double bladed roomba enemies, and you explain it at 7:25. Mobile Home Mines. Thank you very much.
You have such a beautiful, soothing voice for a golden retriever! ☺️
Loved this game. Perfect difficulty level too imo. Challenging but not impossible, and when you die you feel like it was your own fault and not something cheap in the game. Sometimes enemies respawn too fast and thats annoying, but other than that its ok I think. Joker isnt bad at all once you know the pattern.
The firts 4 levels are hard but doable. But the last one is hell. An on top of that, you go all the way back if you die against fire bug and joker.
Thank you very much for this video, helped me a lot especially for stage 3 and for the 2 last bosses.
I remmember this game as a wonderful KID it was HARD you earned my sub just now !!
Thanks for the sub!! This game was def tough as a kid - I remember the first time I beat the Joker, I used Game Genie for infinite lives (and maybe Infinite ammo, too) and fought him for HOURS. At some point I finally won, probably got a little bit lucky. Tried to beat it again another time and couldn't do it. It was so refreshing to come back as a adult and really beat him.
I've beaten the game before but that Joker strategy is top-tier. Great video.
Thanks, Eikichi!!
Surprised you didn’t mention the infamous back to the future II and III game. Would love to see you tackle that monster!
Always loved this game. Glad to see that it is so well respected. Great strategy vid!
I remember beating this legitimately when I was about 13-14 years old. Such a great feeling of satisfaction when I finally beat the Joker.
It does feel really good to finally beat that guy!
WOW these games are just taking me back to my childhood this is Awesome i loved this BatMan game i miss my childhood 😔
Thanks! - I feel you, man - hanging out as kids just playing Nintendo, those were good times.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames hell Yeah those were good times
Thank you so much, finally beat this game thanks to your tutorial!
Getting up to the Joker isn’t a picnic, and if you actually beat him, you deserve a medal.
I watched some your vids just for the retrospective, and this one blew my mind. Journey to Silius was supposed to be Terminator?? Imagine what Batman would've turned out without the license.
This reminds me of the old gameplayers tips and tricks video cassetes👍👍👍
If you’re good enough at fighting in this game, you can brawl with the jader’s by moving slightly when they’re in the air, and moving back and getting a single punch in, before retreating, and repeating the process…I had to learn to brawl with the jaders a lot since by the time I got to them I was out of ammo
I love this game. All aspects. And I bought the funko pop of batman from this. He's even purple and blue.
That's really cool!
