Ninja Baseball Bat Man (Arcade) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@NintendoComplete]

It's about as peculiar as a beat 'em up can get, but that's a large part of what makes Ninja Baseball Bat Man so damn compelling.

[@MrVariant]

music too, and of course cruising/trampling in your car, wish I could do damage to enemies in ffxv like that lol

[@DavideGendo]

The personality of this game is exceptional. My favourite little detail is the fanfare squad announcing the coming of a boss. Shame it was ignored and rare in the US (an arcade board of it must cost a fortune). I think the reason it plays similarly to Hook and UC may be due to sharing at least part of the coding, a common practice both back then and today, and some people have likely worked on all three of those.

The enemy designs are crazy. Baseballs, car engines and rain clouds. No problem for the Louisville slugger though. Great gameplay video.

[@eyelove_owlcity]

Such an under appreciated beat em up game

[@hipsterelephant2660]

Interestingly, while the game was developed in Japan, it was designed in Redmond, Washington at Irems American headquarters

[@LPetal86]

Oh my gosh. You actually played it. _You actually played_ Ninja Baseball Bat Man. One of the best games ever made IMO. We must never forget the funky tunes, fantastic animation and personality of this game. That you fight an airplane inside of an airplane.

[@Drawboy66]

If this game got more recognition, they would be PERFECT for Smash Bros.

[@李재성]

I wholeheartedly agree. As for the palette swaps it could be like the koopalings where each swap is a different character. But since there are only 4 Ninja Baseball Batmen, they could make a 2nd color for each character which will total to 8.

[@TexasKnuckle]

Every time I play this game I play as Beanball Roger, grab baddies and do that special slam, especially on bosses. That was so satisfying!

[@andrewmauney3082]

This game is so unique and clever I'm surprised it wasnt ported to home consoles. Looks hella fun to play

[@NintendoComplete]

I agree. I would've preferred that this got a home port over Undercover Cops, especially considering how (reasonably) well UC's SNES port turned out.

[@Roger-fs5yo]

​@NintendoComplete I play this at galloping ghost all the time, and I can't get enough of it. It's a damn shame this didn't come to SNES😮‍💨

[@dragondude4886]

Forget Waluigi why aren't these guys in Smash

[@DamianYerrick]

I doubt Smash will ever share characters with Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, and there's a Batman in that one

[@dragondude4886]

@@DamianYerrick who would win in a fight Ninja Baseball Batmen or the Teenage mutant Ninja turtles

[@ruko9876]

I still remember AVGN play this game lol, and it's a rare instance when the AVGN think a game he played is good :) Indeed this game is good.

[@jakebello7988]

I keep hearing Donald Morden's "HA HA HA HA!" voice clip from Metal Slug at random points.

[@TrueSolunar]

Each of the Batmen has a letter on their hat that, when combined, spell out “Irem”... Jose=I Ryno=R Roger=E Straw=M

[@luciebureau6815]

I quickly saw this game on another channel. After that i completely forgot about it. I like it, and i never played it ! The only arcade games i ever tried were Terminator 2 and Time Crisis. Nice gameplay, NC.

[@jamesl.anderson1384]

The Nerd: This is a special message about something that just changed my life. A game called Ninja Baseball Batman! That is the best title ever conceived by a human being, or an alien, or whoever or whatever came up with this. Ninja Baseball Batman! Just say it out loud! (The Nerd whispers in on the game title) Feels amazing, doesn't it? Ninja Baseball Batman. Just when you hear those three words, all these images rush into your mind of ninjas and baseball and Batman. It hits your brain so hard. It's like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! All right. Slow down. I'm okay. Let's see the game. (Game footage begins as the Nerd is surprised and he takes off the Nerd's glasses as it surprised once again) The Nerd: Does it live up to the title? It surpasses the title! Even though it doesn't have much to do with ninjas and definitely has nothing to do with Batman, I'm not disappointed. The word Batman simply means a man with a bat. Well, there's more than one so they could have called it Batmen, or they could have just called it Ninja Baseball Players. But no. They knew what they were doing. Calling it Batman was an ingenious marketing ploy. It got me to play and then it hit me in the face with a grand slam atomic bomb blast of video game goodness! It's a beat 'em up game. You just beat the crap out of everything in sight. Evil baseballs, evil baseball gloves, evil baseball bats holding baseball bats, balls that come together and... What the hell? Is that a flying baseball field?! It's a flying baseball field! So yes, this game is definitely baseball related. And if you can call it a baseball game, it's the best baseball game ever. Oh my God, I'm getting run over by an airplane. Now I'm inside the plane and guess who the boss is. An airplane. I'm fighting an airplane inside of an airplane! There's also a truck with blue lips, a slot machine going berserk. Furniture flying all over the place and spiky wheels being pushed by cats on skateboards being pushed by little green things. I'm getting attacked by refrigerators, a magic electric vulture Jack-o'-Lantern Grim Reaper. And this thing, I can't describe it. I just can't. And the final boss is like some kind of cyborg version of Babe Ruth. There's a lot of good beat 'em up games like the Simpsons and Turtles in Time, but this one is totally underrated. Why wasn't this a huge success? Well, it only existed in the arcade and it never came out on a home console. Wow, they really dropped the ball on that one. Supposedly, only 43 arcade units were shipped to North America. That is sad. (Back to the Nerd on-screen, which is kinda feeling worried) The Nerd: The world needs to know about Ninja Baseball Batman. But right now, the only way to play it is on an emulator. Or if you happen to have access to one of the arcade units. No, this needs to come out again on a home console or better yet, Xbox Live! Ninja Baseball Batman! Ninja Baseball Batman

[@Drawboy66]

🎶 Take me out to the arcade! 🎶

[@Crom87]

Three best things. Ninjas. Baseball. Batman! Oh, wait.

[@85futureshock]

Your move Hamster. Time to port this gem to the Switch.

[@evilcrash8683]

Weird but totally an awesome game!

[@czarevan2261]

I missed this game I played this game when I was 5 or 6 something on my Elementary Days :)

[@ColorYoutube]

stop the nostalgia is too much 😭

[@ghostbombl8034]

I am still looking to find any secret codes or hidden characters?Have anyone find secret codes that is not genie related codes but were you use the joystick to enter secret select?

[@solarflare9078]

Plot twist: These are actually Strike Man's older brothers in this game.

[@SoulStreak64]

Strangest beat em up design i've seen in a beat em up. You have *Ghost Buffalo* as a Boss. And...Can someone help me describe it?

[@NintendoComplete]

Hahaha, Ghost Buffalo looks neither like a ghost nor a buffalo. He reminds me a bit of those pink chicken things you can ride in Golden Axe. Well, except for the refrigerator he has for a body.

[@MinscFromBaldursGate92]

AVGN brought me here. XD

[@jjsquire706]

Can someone please tell me why this game wasn't ported to the Neo Geo AES home console??? This game has SNK written all over it and totally fits the Neo's script. I'd love to have this on a Neo cartridge. I wonder what the meg count is on this game it's so very well animated.👍😁😎👌

[@xannynumb]

This game needs to be on switch or ps4 physical copy

[@Aero51100]

pretty neat game.

[@Clovershroom]

Are you going to play the Alpha Renewal version of Undercover Cops someday?

[@adora_lovely]

"holy ninja baseball, batman !"

[@edralynarriola823]

R.I.P Capcom R.I.P SNK We will miss you.

[@YassineTorchani-dc2cm]

What ?

[@MrRubmeister]

This is one of those quirky little gems that would be too weird for mainstream audiences. It's a darn shame.

Wait, what emulator you used for this? Seeing the music a bit slower, the title screen is not that glitchy, the map transitions (From Black to Color) are also slower and the cutscenes are not glitchy.

[@Baximus]

Is it just me, or does the music seem a little.. Slow?

[@YassineTorchani-dc2cm]
