Batman (Sega Genesis) - Mike Matei Live

[@Leatherbubba]

I like the soundtrack of this game even more than the NES version. Some real gems in here.

[@werdna_sir]

I came to make to exact same comment. Gotham City Streets 2 (Batmobile stage) is one of my favourite Mega Drive tracks.

Mike, I hope you know how important your streams are!! I basically don’t watch any other streamers, but I’m pretty sure that it’s extremely rare today to see someone sitting on an actual couch while playing original cartridge games and talking in a way that feels completely free from current social rules or trends.

[@Akshayus67]

So true. Retrogaming is always cool

[@cratedivizion]

about beating the same games over, for me its like...you spend so much time practicing, memorizing and getting good at a game, then when you beat it its over. its fun to go back in and beat it again and totally master the game. beat it using less continues,lives etc, beating it faster. its fun playing through difficult games and totally owning them.

[@KageMaxwell]

I love this game's soundtrack.

[@masterlee1988]

Yeah, it's really good!

[@KTF0]

I've been humming it for a minute

[@TheSecondIDare]

TOP TIP! You can defeat enemies by jumping on their heads. The trick is to double-jump over them, but remembering to NOT land directly on them. An arc, vs a sharp angle, if that makes sense. Try it out.

Hey Mike if you like this and the NES version you should try out the arcade version

[@Mattcruzedc]

This version of the game is bad ass. I love the 89 movie. It’s my favourite Batman movie ever. The memorabilia from this movie is so expensive now.

[@georgfriedrichhendl9881]

What's the best Batman movie? For me it's Batman returns with Michael Keaton, Danny deVito, Christopher Walken and Michelle Pfeiffer.

"Wanna play some shitty games, batman? Hunh batman?!? HAHAHAHAHA" that AVGN episode's all i can picture in my head lol

[@Invidente7]

Ah, that other batman game no one talks about because they seemingly prefer the NES batman games. This one is pretty faithful to the movie althought it came out much later. The batmobile and batplane levels were great. ... Sunsoft also made a superman game for the genesis. Btw, what about adventures of batman and robin for the SNES? It's one of the best batman games BEFORE arkham asylum, with it's only flaw being that shitty batmobile level.

[@cratedivizion]

Adventures is an awesome game. Boss rush at the end before the joker. I think mikes streamed it before

mitu123Copper there is also a Superman game by sun soft for the NES. It wasn’t finished, but a prototype was finished that was renamed Sunman. A hacker changed sprites to turn Sunman into superman so that it is playable as superman game.

[@ObsoleteVodka]

Arkahm Origins is as good as City imo, Knight kinda falls behind but still cool. My major complain about Arkham Knight is that some missions force you to use the Batmobile because apparently Rocksteady knew it was not going to be as fast (or fun) as moving around with the grappling hook and gliding.

[@kenspongebob3682]

Mike mentioned the Toy Biz Batman action figures. My mom went to Toys R Us everyday and looked for those for our Christmas that year. She finally lucked out and went in one day where they had opened shipping boxes of them out for people to pick through. She grabbed two of the Batman and Joker each for my brother and I. Years later I asked her why two of each? She said because my brother always acted like if he lost a gun or weapon for the toy then the whole toy was worthless, so she bought us each a spare. Crazy part is I found out later one of the most valuable of those figures is Bob the Goon because no one bought him, hence he is harder to find.

[@unclematt3134]

[@HarleyQuinn-dt7xw]

[@bendragon1000]

One game that I enjoyed(first played it on the Wii, but then got a cartridge) is Wario's Woods. It's unique when compared to Yoshi/Yoshi's Cookie/Tetris/Dr. Mario because the "story mode" actually has unique boss battles at like every 10th level(you also collect coins at the ends of the levels to get extra lives, there are a variety of colors to match, and there are a variety of enemies that all require different strategies to tackle).

[@jessejames1560ify]

Wow this soundtrack is amazing! Never played this tho

[@unclematt3134]

Genesis was better than Snes. The sports games put them over the top. I dont even like real sports, but the video game versions I loved. Dont misunderstand me. I love Nintendo. Nintendo are the best overall at innovation. Sega Genesis was more fun to play and I owned both Genesis/Snes at the same time. Super Metroid was my fav on snes and Robocop vs Terminator for Genesis. Joe Montana sports talk football for Genesis was awesome too.

[@ravioliburger3182]

Mike, I have to say you really seem to enjoy streaming these games. I'm 30, but I got into gaming relatively late. These older games can be pretty hard. It's nice to see that you can enjoy it.

[@liquid79]

It has that exact Streets of Rage opening.

[@edwardiii8409]

It's ten times better than NES. But were just on opposite armies. Sega vs Nintendo the good old days.

[@onetonmuckfire9140]

I really think you should play Rolling Thunder III after watching this. Edit: Add on, it's Ninja Gaiden with bullets.

[@BloodlessWolf]

Do you mean Shinobi? Because I always thought it played like Shinobi.

[@jasondouglas152]

Game looks pretty good ( I just started the video) The Arcade Game for the 1989 Batman movie was a pretty weird installment. I was hoping this was a Sega port of the arcade game. Damn

[@jonirenicus463]

Batman Returns on Game Gear was a great game too and the music 🎶🎶🎶 oh my God was awesome.

[@ChuckM0503]

The Batmobile was absolutely implemented horribly in Arkham Knight. Should have been nothing more then a means of transportation for those who wanted to use it, and maybe a couple specific missions where it had to be used. As is it's just way too much. All of the Riddler race tracks or whatever the hell they were are a joke, and an even bigger joke was fighting Deathstroke in a tank. The Batmobile totally kills that game's replay value.

[@buffyfan10112]

I agree 100%. They ruined a good game by over-utilizing the Batmobile.

[@deathcold_longplaysua4846]

My favorite game! I beat it 100 times and i know how to get 99 batarangs in few levels, and if you didn't die through whole game, then you can take those batarangs to every boss, and defeat them in no time!

I remember buying this for my 12th birthday. It was such a great game, but I beat it it a few days later.

[@Zeburaman2005]

Ha, the Axis Chemical level music kind of sounds like a mix between NES Gremlins 2's stage 3 (Clamp Center) music and parts of Castlevania 3's Beginning. But mostly Gremlins 2.

[@MosoKaiser]

If you're streaming Batman Returns games in the future, play the Sega Master System version too! Good game, but gets mentioned way too little for some reason. Good for two playthroughs as well, thanks to majority of the levels having an option between an easier and harder route (i.e. completely different levels). Edit: uh, you don't look through the manual before playing games you haven't played before? You really should, since quite a lot of games don't have hand-holding tutorials to explain the moves required.

[@blueblue7851]

I dont really like the trailer for the Joker movie. Mostly because to me Joker has always been a really evil basterd, and the trailer makes him look like your supposed to sympathize with him. Like hes some tragic guy that got pushed to far and turned into Joker, by being bullied and having bad parents and dumb stuff like that. I like Dark Knights Joker, where you dont know anything at all about him, and hes just evil for the sake of spreading chaos. You have no idea why. I dont want to watch a movie about one of the most iconic villains, and go, "Aww if people just treated him nicer, he wouldnt be evil."

[@jamesbancroft2467]

same, the great thing about the Dark Knight Joker is the deeper meaning in his antics-the purposeless purpose of his crime: to take the most pure and noble person he could find and “bring him down to his level” to prove that we’re all fallen and could all be just like the Joker.
