Paperboy 2 (NES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@NintendoComplete]

Apologies for the re-upload. This one now plays at the correct framerate!

[@MindSweptAway]

It’s ok

[@therealisticgamer5834]

All good

[@rcblazer]

I loved all the carnage you could cause, as well as all the good deeds they would write about in the papers you are delivering. I played both the NES and SNES versions. I find it funny the NES paper (aside from the Game Over) always has the same picture of a cop pointing at some broken windows despite whatever the front page story is.

[@Dorian_Scott]

It does the same exact thing in the SNES version. No matter what the headline is, you always get the cop pointing at that broken window.

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

I loved this game and the music

[@rcblazer]

@@Dorian_Scott I remember in the SNES version, there was a different picture where the cop is giving the Paperboy a medal if you stopped a robbery, or saved a runaway baby and the like.

[@NintendoComplete]

@@rcblazer I remember that. I used it as the thumbnail for my video of the SNES version.

[@LITTLE1994]

They're very similar.

[@Bakanineinstein]

Honestly nothing but mad respect for your skills here... Not sure if it's just me or what but I always found the Paperboy games to be among the hardest of the "Arcade Style" games requiring a rather diverse mastery in combination of repetition... I always used to joke with an old friend of mine who loves it that it's like the fighting game equivalent to platformers...

[@NintendoComplete]

Thanks! This one actually gets much easier once you can remember which hazards to look out for at certain spots.

[@MindSweptAway]

Paper boy is a classic

[@JDogg795]

Bruh, you stopped the Reaper from going to collect the soul of the poor bastard you killed when the car dropped after you hit it with a newspaper. That's legit!

I love the improvisational jazz soundtrack

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

One thing that drove me nuts, on the back of the box for the game they showed the cook sprite roasting the pig in his backyard. So it was in there at some point and they had to cut it. Sucks that so much of the stuff had to be removed, although it's hilarious watching the guy with the basketball play with himself, and only one of the dudes carrying the pane of glass :D

[@NintendoComplete]

My favorite was always seeing the man get flattened under the car. The legs get me going everytime.

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

@@NintendoComplete Yeah, that's another one that got cut, the jack that was holding the car up :D

[@NintendoComplete]

@@PlasticCogLiquid Ah yeah, I guess it is kinda just hovering there.

Always enjoyed the fact that within this quiet, suburban community, a medieval times was just randomly zoned in 🏰

[@bortacina]

I've never seen this games end and saw midway and hard way. Like the easy way was easy enough :) Thanks for the old school game videos.

[@Invidente7]

How many times do you guys think it took to get that cover shoot? You know, what they used for the cover?

[@LITTLE1994]

As I said in the original video, this is very similar to the SNES version in every way. Though the game isn't good, this play by the user is so well done. Graphically, this is basic for the legendary 16-bit console, but in NES, this looks very good for it.

[@solarflare9078]

The only difference is that the NES version runs at 60 FPS and the SNES at 30 FPS Strange, isn’t it?

[@TyronStDenis]

I played this Game on the Nintendo Complete Paperboy When i was a Kid when i was Yong.

True skill is hitting the jump and knocking the vase off the corner of the house.

[@ashlinbouwman7036]

oh come on you didn't go for the headline "Hero Paperboy DELIVERS JUSTICE?" Missed opportunity

[@_Majoras]

2:10 lol wut? i never tried that with paperboy arcade but i'm guessing it wouldn't be as effective

[@NintendoComplete]

Gotta hate it when physics crash the party.

[@richardbaker308]

Is it just me or are the sounds better in the first game

[@BFF-Bootcamp-Belleville-NJ]

yea this sound is terrible

[@ethanstoeckel3901]

And I thought Paper Boy 64 was the sequal. Well I guess it's now a trilogy.

[@chadh2241]

And I jizzed in my pants watching this !! After all these fucking years to see this makes the joy deep within leap out

[@DSWappropriate]

Cool

[@crosstatt7441]

What genre of video games is “Paperboy”?

[@eduardorg1125]

Action.

[@Xhamon]

I just stumbled upon your comment while doing research about video game genres. I find the answer interesting. Paperboy is actually a "scrolling shooter" like Gradius, Life Force and Xevious. The player has to shoot at targets while navigating to avoid hazards like terrain, obstacles, enemies, and projectiles. • Shooting newspapers instead of bullets is irrelevant for determining the genre. • The fact that you are shooting perpendicularly to the movement direction is also irrelevant (mostly). • Paperboy uses a rare (in video games) camera angle called a "cabinet projection". • That being said: "Action" is not a genre; it's a generic descriptor. Basically, it's anything that's not turn-based or doesn't let you take your time. I'd estimate that over 95% of games nowadays are "action" or contain action sequences. • Likewise, "arcade" is not a genre; it's a platform/device.

[@Jexel999]

Wow ur really good !

Thanks!

You had the choice to play a boy or a girl. You choose the boy despite having played a boy in the original. You are a NAMBLA BOY LOVER - Confirmed.

[@Dorian_Scott]

Anyone else think that the level music in the SNES version sounds a bit like *_"Hot in here"_* by *_Nelly_* ?

[@solarflare9078]

Console Wars reference much? Lol

[@Dorian_Scott]

[@Dorian_Scott]

Oof! And I thought the SNES version was bad! This is just the SNES version, but even *worse* .

[@solarflare9078]

Actually, the SNES version ran at 30 FPS, lol. The NES version is pretty much identical and runs at 60 FPS and has no sound delay (but worse colors and reused NES Paperboy sfx)

[@isaacman4157]

@@solarflare9078 Okay, I don't know why people keep saying the SNES version runs at 30fps. I've seen two videos of the SNES version that ran at 60, including NintendoComplete's own video. Even if you play the game on an Analogue Super Nt, it's at 60fps.

[@solarflare9078]

@@isaacman4157 Just look at the scrolling. It's quite choppy and that means it definitely can't be 60 fps
