Some serious nostalgic childhood memories in this game, makes you realize you never know the value of a moment until it becomes that, a memory

One of the rare movie-based games for the old NES that's actually worth playing. I wouldn't exactly call Gotham City "deserted" since people still live there.

I assume it's a mistranslation. There are some other good movie licensed games on NES. Such as "Little Nemo the Dreamaster," and surprisingly "The Little Mermaid."

As I watch this video now, as good as the music is, it’s the level design I’m most impressed with.

[@mike-blindedbythelights5054]

Nothing can beat NES games.. strategy, music, story telling

[@Mistraker]

What fucking story? This game is fun, but it has nothing to do with the movie's plot, and tells us Joker is the "evil leader" of Gotham. And then the game looks like you're fighting through an alien spaceship or something. It's just a generic off the shelf side scrolling action platformer that they changed the player sprite to Batman when they got the license.

[@mike-blindedbythelights5054]

@@Mistraker I didn’t mention about this Batman game.. I was generally telling about NES games.. some games have good story lines too

[@failthesystemcollab7247]

​@@Mistrakermuch of these environments, present a darker vision to the character. It's more about the journey, the underworld of gotham and the unknown of its shadows. Also what goes on inside Batman's shadow. What is he really fighting? It sometimes look like the machinations of his own psyche. And that manifests as his enemies. Like those huge sewer monsters, something straight out of a nightmare. The most interesting side to the character and surrounding universe was explored here. It's like dark art.

I really cannot say enough overwhelmingly positive words about _Batman._ The gameplay, graphics, soundtrack... everything. I owe my childhood to the people responsible for this masterpiece, I get goosebumps just from the soundtrack alone.

BEST BATMAN GAME EVER!

[@philb9015]

I've said it before. Sunsoft was most probably the most underated game developer and publisher in video game history. While everyone was singing Capcom and Konami's praise, Sunsoft was releasing outstanding game after game. Batman, Gremlins, Blaster Master, Adam's family, etc....

[@Bloodreign1]

Yet Sunsoft sullied the hell out of their name come the 16 bit era. Took Capcom and Konami far longer to do that to themselves. Sunsoft's flame burned bright, but that flame died out pretty quickly once they started farming their games out to other developers, and picking up smaller devs games to release under the Sunsoft banner. The only games Sunsoft did right in the 16 bit era, were their Hebereke SFC/SNES games, and the first Batman and Superman on the Genesis.

[@mindcrome]

@@Bloodreign1 Adams Family was good on SNES, hard as shit. Really good music.

Back then it probably would have been mind-blowing to see that final scene play out, but seeing it now as an adult I'm just disappointed at what little we see, as well as Joker being responsible for the Waynes' death and Batman actually killing him.

Ya know, it's kinda amazing how good this looks compared to most NES titles. The art and cut scenes seem way more than what you expect from an 8-bit console. Also, I've never made it past 3-1, so it's good to see someone get the rest of it finished. The hobgoblins always got me. Seeing the acrobatic tricks you have to pull to make it to the end, I doubt I could have pulled it off. Congratulations and thanks for posting the gameplay!

É muito difícil ver um game da SUNSOFT sendo criticado. Geralmente tinham muita qualidade e faziam uso de recursos inovadores aproveitando o máximo do potencial do NES.

[@speedgriffon2504]

After watching this earlier today, I pulled it up on the emulator half an hour ago and... still couldn't get pass the second boss level, just like when I was 13, lol. My failure? If I don't make it to the machine boss with at or near the maximum level of "ammo" allowed (99), I fail miserably. And some of the jumps on the electrified ground in those preceding levels still seem impossible to make. Looking back, I don't think I'd necessarily want to return to the days of games being virtually unbeatable and requiring months of maddening failure to master... but it sure was a fun trip down memory lane! Thanks for the exemplary video.
