Gradius (NES) playthrough ~Longplay~

This is a playthrough of Gradius for the NES.
Take control of the most advanced craft on Gradius and keep yourself safe from danger in the NES port of the arcade game.

[@PaladinLarec]

One of my favorite NES soundtracks. Music is soooo good.

[@LilCyco223]

Missed the two "secret" 1UPs. One flying between the split mountain, and the other by pulling a "near-miss" on the right side of the floating asteroid before the erupting volcanoes...

[@Bassotronics]

One of my all-time favorite NES games!

[@raymondmeyers8983]

I find it impossible to control the ship when it’s at max speed power up

[@gianfries]

Obviously. Just like facebook streamers gameplay

The NES version of Gradius was released in North America in December 1986. It is the first NES game to have been released by Konami in the region and unlike the original arcade game, the title was kept unchanged between regions. The NES version was made available in arcades as a Nintendo VS. System board (under the title of VS. Gradius) and as a PlayChoice-10 cartridge. VS. Gradius was distributed to arcades by Nintendo.

[@EirinYagokoro]

I like how the famicom/nes version is a faithful adaptation to the arcade. I think the only difference is this one doesn't have the electric cage miniboss before the brain final boss

[@joseguinez2288]

Wow, you play with +5 Speed up. I play only with 2.

[@yousefslimani99]

Same!!

Wish I could remember how I warped ahead, but I DO remember the "Konami Code" worked like a charm on here. Gave you missiles, two options, and the shield, if I recall.

[@ledrash6079]

Spliced or tool assisted? Or skilled? - but why choose suboptimal upgrades when there is no need to?

[@zeusapollo6504]

I prefered Life Force/Salamander hard to believe it was the spin off of the gradius series, it really looks and feels the other way around, played both in the 80ies on the NES. Fun how the last boss in Gradius is basicly the first Boss in Life Force, but could at least move around a bit.

[@chanceForNotBeingRapper]

konami is the goat of old retro games. Pity how they treat their employees and games now, mass clones of Pes and no revival of most old titles😅 Hope the recent Metal Gear 3 Remake could be decent

[@moesypittounikos]

I still remember the cheat code for this game. Up, up, down, down, left right left right, b and a

[@teeman9266]

I never got past the volcano boss

[@yousefslimani99]

Just Power Yourself up "Options" "Laser" and "Missile" This Will Help You to Beat The Volcano Boss!!

[@Gurra88]

I never got past the boss with the ships appearing out of nowhere. I was a casual player and this game was a little too much for me.

[@Chrimzin]

You could cheese both first boss sequences by hiding in the corners with lasers and options

[@bodhi1271]

There's no way this is real, it's either a bot playing, or a person playing, but they've edited out all the times they got killed and had to rewind the game.

[@Lilbadtrinibih]

I'm over here like HOW??,, I CANT GET PASSED THE FIRST LEVEL 😂

1st boost : double WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

Had a hard time beating this one back in the day. You have to b quick or your dead.

How could ANYBODY beat this game without using the 'Game Genie'?

The speed is way too fast for me. I would rather laser up shield up and have 3 missiles going at all time and be ready to activate another shield! Kudos to your game play moving that fast, you have certainly shown what’s possible.

This guy passes on so many power ups. Maybe they feel it makes it too easy. I always maximize them.

@@bobmathews9072 It depends on if you pick laser or double. Laser fires in a straight line and through multiple enemies, whereas double has the shot that goes up. You can only ever have one, though - not every both. You can also swap back and forth with the power up icons as you collect more
