- A playthrough of Konami's 1992 license-based beat 'em up/shooter arcade game, Bucky O'Hare.
Played through on the default machine settings with Dead-Eye Duck.
Between the comic book, the cartoon, and a line of toys, Bucky O'Hare had become a relatively popular IP in America by the early 1990s. It followed the trends of its era with its anthropomorphic, action-hero cast, and as such, it was ripe for picking when Konami snapped up the video game rights.
Just like their treatment of other similar franchises (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men, Zen: Intergalactic Ninja, Wild West Cowboys of Moo Mesa, and so on), Konami went all out in adapting the property to a video game.
The arcade Bucky O'Hare game melds the format of a 2.5D beat 'em up with that of a run-and-gun shooter, feeling something like a mixture of Turtles in Time and Aliens. While there are jump kicks and special moves, you get a stock of screen-clearing bombs like you'd find in shoot 'em ups, and you fire a laser gun at enemies instead of beating them to a pulp with your fists. Since this change means you don't have access to multi-hit combo moves and throws, it makes for a bit simpler of a game than the traditional beat 'em up, but it balances this with its fast pace and the number of enemies it tosses at you. Things never get dull, that's for sure.
The levels are all unique and well designed, and they do a phenomenal job of bringing the Aniverse to life. They, like the characters, look unbelievably good, and it's clear that the development team did their homework for this one. The characters and environments are super-faithful to the cartoon, and Konami even hired the TV show's cast to record the dialogue for the cutscenes! You really couldn't ask for a better way to "play TV the cartoon." Everything about the presentation screams of Konami's penchant for high production values and thoroughly enjoyable multiplayer gameplay.
But regardless of if you are a long-time fan or if you are someone who is just hearing about Bucky O'Hare for the very first time, it's easy to appreciate the care and attention to detail that was sunk into this production. It has stood the test of time well - it's still easy to jump right in and start playing, and it's still easy to have a wicked fun time with it.
Do you really need anything else in an arcade game?

Even though Bucky O'Hare never caught on, Konami was able to spin gold out of this franchise both on the NES and the arcade. This is actually quite an ambitious arcade game, as it serves as a finale to the cartoon that it never got, since it was canceled after one season. That's the great thing about Konami back in the day. Even if the license they had was a bit of a dud, they still gave it 110%, and never just pushed something out for the fans. They gave them a fantastic experience to savor.
Nothing to do with te current Konami
Even when Konami's own ideas were duds, they gave 110% as you said, like their own _Mystic Warriors._
Bucky O'Hare And The Toad Wars, The Arcade Hit From Konami! Let's Croak Some Toads!
Savory pushed out duds... eww- sounds like poop to me. 🤣
Green space rabbits, four-armed ducks, and an army of bipedal mutant toads? What sounds like an acid trip actually turns out to be one of Konami's best big-budget arcade titles, and it's absolutely loaded with personality.
This is the grand finale to the TV series, and also I heard from reviews back then that THIS looked BETTER than the actual show!
when it came to the arcade scene when you heard and saw that logo you knew you needed to get three friends and about $20 dollars worth of quarters or the other option grab three other kids and make some memories cause this how you made friends in the nineties folks
Now I really feel dumb….. Watching the intro bit I never realized (back then) Jenny was a cat. The big king fluff of pink kind of makes her look like another bunny/rabbit. Never really did get enough time in the mornings to watch complete episodes, usually like the mid-end of the episodes.
It's a nice touch that they got all the original voice actors to play their respective characters
god, the 90s were so magical. This bring me back to a time when the Ninja Turtles mania was still in full force, and there were some hit-or-miss cult classics that it spawned. This one being one of them!
Konami was just so talented when it came to their licensed arcade beat-em-ups like this. No one even compared! But you can't even complain about a space bunny and his crew incinerating evil toads with laser guns. This game is so awesome
Holy smokes I used to play this for hours at Chuckie Cheese. This was one of my favorite arcade games ever. I still remember when the cartoon was out for a quick moment and they were selling the VHS of it at my local Weiss. WILD
The golden age of Konami when they made good arcade games based on cartoons.
Yep, like The Simpsons, X-Men, G.I. Joe and TMNT(both games).
A rare occasion where the fricken video game was considered the final episode of the tv series.
Used to rock this at Chuck E Cheese in the early 90s.... when they had all the arcade bangers
The voice cast is best known for their work in Beast Wars / Beast Machines. The voice of Deadeye Duck is best known as Rattrap, the voice of Al Negator is best known as Optimus Primal, and the voice of Toad Borg is best known as Rhinox / Tankor.
They’re also known for the Mega Man 1994 cartoon. Deadeye was Proto Man and Dr. Wily, Al Negator was Guts Man, the voice of Toad Borg even played Wood Man in that show
This was the game that had several staff members leaving Konami when this came out and founded Treasure the same year. Then, they came back 12 years later to help work on Gradius V.
I could have seen an arcade version of "Code name: Kids next door" in a very similar fashion. Man its fun to dream...
Bucky O'Hare is indeed a rare gem. Its just utterly unfortunate the cartoon never got a season 2. From what I heard to why season 2 of Bucky O'Hare never came to being despite the show's popularity from what I took notice is due to the poor handling and distribution of the toy line.
If only Bucky O'Hare made a awesome comeback to the very point where it ran for several seasons, we may even see video game versions like this pop up on Xbox Live, Playstation Network and many others.
Konami had the beat-em-up game on lock back in the day
Today is Konami's 50Th anniversary.
Thank you for uploaded this jewel for celebrate their anniversary, Konami has made errors and good actions but they are humans too after all and they can learn from the errors too, I am so happy for they
Konami is my favorite videogame company after all.
Call my boss that I won't go to work tomorrow, I need to celebrate today with pizza, pepsi and beating again Contra Hard Corps.
Thank you Alex for this and happy anniversary to Konami!!
I actually had no idea lol, talk about lucky timing!
You mean the old and gone Konami we loved. The Konami that made great games, no matter if the source comes from western media as TMNT or this game. That´s the Konami I still miss.
Meh, I don't care.
If Konami make great games again I will celebrate, if not I will still playing their old games and don't make a drama and if someone is cruel or moron I will just laugh.
So still happy 50th anniversary Konami and if you don't feel it there is the door ;-)
@@NintendoComplete That is what I call destiny, my pal ;-)
@@MrSuperspeedsonic At least we still can emulate those old glories.
Bucky looks like Jazz Jackrabbit.
That’s a really colorful game and looks like a true artist made it. WE like the old games. It looks cool. I like how it’s animated. Cool characters. Reminds us of cool things in space.

Big fan of Classic Konami. I'd heard of this, but never saw it or the show. Good one!

Ahhh, Konami, the king of arcade beat em ups. Those were the days when they had gumption. You gotta love the 80s and 90s obsession for edgy and raunchy anthropomorphic animals.
I was thinking of this game yesterday!
omg, it actually has voice acting
Yeah, they hired the real actors from the show to do their parts in the game
Voice-acting is one of the things that really stuck to me about this game, when playing it at the arcades. Home-systems of that time certainly didn't have it, and it would only become commonplace on the PC some years later (during the CD-ROM era).
@@DisgruntledDoomer It's certainly was an unknowingly generous fan-service to gamers at the time, the other big one being the X-Men VA cast for the Capcom games! (Cathal Dodd! 👊)
I hope Konami ports this game to the Switch, Steam and other modern consoles. :)
I'm afraid there may be licensing issues. For such reasons Capcom can't include The Punisher and Cadillacs & Dinosaurs in their compilation.
@@DavideGendo Yep, it's a shame as I love those games!
@@kenterminateddq5311 Except that this game is by Konami, not by Capcom.
@@WeskerSega God, I need to stop smokin'.
Anyways, I do hope this game gets ported to the modern consoles.
4:17 LeT mE oUttA HEre!!
I remember that my brothers used to play this game at a video rental store when we were kids. This brings back so many memories. A bit of typos in the wording here and there, but otherwise, not too bad. Nice vid.
Definitely a game to have in a collection of arcade classics.
The last time I saw this game in play I was 8 years old at Chuck E Cheese. I'm 35 now lol
LOVE this game. Didn't get to play it until the mid 2000s via MAME, since I never laid eyes on an actual cabinet, but being a big fan of the source material (and the NES game), I had to try it, and man, it's awesome. Shame the IP kind of fizzled so quickly. I thought they had some great stuff to work with, and the sci-fi bent was a refreshing change of pace from ninjas and whatnot.
In the tradition of Konami's other smash hit 4-player action games, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, X-Men and G.I. Joe, comes Bucky O'Hare. Based on the hit afternoon cartoon show, Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars, and a very successful toy line, this game is a visual and aural arcade feast! The graphics in this side-scrolling action/adventure game are better than the TV cartoon! Extremely detailed and finely rendered multi-layered background create a believable sense of perpective. Captain Bucky O'Hare, Dead Eye Duck, Jenny, and Blinky the Android are all large, well-rendered, and smoothly animated characters. While it is generally classified as a scrolling beat 'em up, fighting game, utilizing a Final Fight-esque landscape, the player's character is also armed with a laser gun, adding in elements of a scrolling shooter. However, if the character is extremely close to an enemy, he will throw out his fists to attack - a precursor to the characters featured in Metal Slug, who use knives in close combat. An intense rock 'n' roll soundtrack, plus tons of digitized speech and sound effects make you feel like you're playing the TV cartoon show, not a video game. The only predicament you'll have with Bucky O'Hare is whether to watch or play!
Looking back, I realise how much time the characters on this show spent hurling racial insults at each other.
So many arcades and I ask why many of them didn’t get a snes port
Just be grateful you SNES guys got _Turtles In Time!_
omg i remember this game at chuck e cheeses lmfaooo
Awesomeness
Hell yeah! Love those badass anthropomorphic characters. I sure do love those two green space bunnies!
From The Arcade Hits Of The Simpsons, Marvel Comics' X-Men, And Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Comes Bucky O'Hare And The Toad Wars From Konami!
1998 Mitsubishi FTO (Bucky O'Hare)
I never knew this existed...
Konami did a great job on this one
Trippy. . .
"Furballs"? He was literally talking to a duck without fur.
Let's croak us some toads
Where can you get this game?
What happened to the one for nes?
it looks great! I've played this on an emulator before, but it was super choppy.
It should be better on latest emulators, you could try Retroarch.
Was there supposed to be talking at the end?
Let's make frog legs outta toads
Привет! Как с тобой можно связаться в контакте?
i have a friend who likes jenny way way way way way WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much
Jugar esto a 4 jugadores debería haber estado de CSM
DotEmu? It's *time.*
Did the NES version get deleted?
The video encoding was screwed up. I've now fixed it and reuploaded it.
Nice. That was a classic game! :D
The biggest question is why wasn’t this released on consoles?
I can only imagine that they weren't confident that the 16bit machines could've really done the game justice.
@@NintendoComplete maybe on Sega CD, Neo Geo, or even PS1 and Saturn
@@bcs9000 at that point the IP had already fizzled out, like observed in other comments. There was not enough interest for it, probably.
MFields2178 This can be asked for a lot of Konami arcade games as many are arcade exclusive. But it's weirder for Bucky o Hare though DaveQB might be right about that.
Heroic mammals and birds vs reptiles insects arachnids and amphibians
they should port this game on the sega gensis back than
40:22
The only thing I don't get, and I'll have to go back and explore the lore, is why the game didn't show Komplex's face, just some generic video screen
My little pony friendship is magic actors
This game reminds me of _Battletoads._ But they were concerned about the hijacking of a princess and one of their own.
"Climate converter?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

You should've been able to play as Willy and Bruiser. Such wasted potential.
Nothing to do with the NES game at all.
Konami still did a great job with the NES port as well.
