Section Z NES All Clear, no deaths

[@bradleyho1442]

A very fun, challenging and underrated game for NES

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

The graphics are solid and more detailed than most NES games the others look like spaghetti most shooters do

[@Xonatron]

What a great soundtrack too.

[@el_benja]

Section Z. My first nes game besides Mario and Duck hunt. Thanks for the upload

[@dave4shmups]

Impressive! This has to be the toughest shmup on the NES.

[@ghegs]

+David Halligan Oh, I wouldn't say that. There's quite a few NES shmups that are harder, even more if you start looking at Famicom-exclusives.

[@ransmomebloke1949]

Such an underrated game though. I've never seen it on a list of hardest games to beat on the NES. Battle Toads seems to be the popular pick. I think Section Z is much more difficult. Great skills man! Enjoyed the video a lot.

[@3anaurv2]

@@ransmomebloke1949 This game is hard but it's possible to beat it. Battletoads is much harder.

[@BIGDINKMAN]

Battletoads was a breeze compared to section z. Hardest i would say would be silver surfer. But harder ones that that should exist. I haven’t played them all.

[@joegoodman8213]

I could beat silver surfer. I owned this game and could never beat it. Sometimes when I went into one of the 2 warps at the end of the section, it would kill me and I didn't figure out why.

[@Mazza666]

Very impressive, I had this as a kid and only made it to the first boss. I tried again today thinking I'm a much better player, I'm still in the same boat 25 years later 🤦 U make it look so easy.

[@Deuteromis]

My older brother played the shit out of this game. He made it to the last level finally but before he reached the end he died. Man he was cussing for almost 5 mins and he never played the game again. 😂 RIP I miss yah bro.

[@MotiviqueStudio]

One of those games that, for no necessary reason, just happens to have a fantastic bassline.

[@gavinpickens8542]

A guy from work gave me section z for a gift . This game looks fun.

[@Kinsanth_]

Still have this game lying around in my collection. The memories, the deaths and so on ... that game is a really hard bullethell to master

[@CubeHsiao]

I was playing Japanese version and never beat the game for the reason of that so complicate maze……. So glad that you have got the game play t like this that gave me a good reference! I am from Taiwan, and thanks again!

[@ReverendBenzo]

This game has one of my favorite endings from the NES era. Hard as hell though. I definitely had a harder time than you did though!

[@jubae5760]

Why does this remind me of Metroid? I remember playing this over 20 years ago and never though about the similarities. Kid Icarus reminds me of Metroid as well.

[@ernestclark5503]

Some of the sound effects in this game sounds like out of the NES Metroid game like the missle sound effects and it being in some far off place in a far away galaxy Probably why it reminds you of Metroid

[@missilesplz]

Kid Icarus and Metroid are made by the same team using the same game engine and same composer, so that's not so strange.

[@ライダーマンロケット止める]

これにハマった俺が数年後サイドアームするのは必然でした(^-^)

[@luisreyes1963]

Congratulations on a successful mission in Section Z. Well played.

[@scottthompson9720]

Nicely done! I've never seen what the end of this game looks like. Maybe get like to level 25 max. Lol.

[@jubae5760]

31:03 game music inspired by Michael Jackson - Workin' Day and Night song

[@navyman4]

i THOUGHT I was the only one............. at 14yrs old, who realized that.

[@johnathanrobinzine3149]

I like that oldschool nes sectionz 1985 I like that oldschool nes games sectionz 1987 and rhe oldschool arcade 1984 1986

[@peacefulscrimp5183]

Imagine this guy flying into your secret planet fortress and destroying all your defenses the amount of panic when he shows up in your bedroom after nothing stopped him. 😬 These types of games are like nightmares for anything that thinks it could ever be safe 😳

[@taemeister9302]

Nostalgia overload 🥲

[@SergioPerez-uc8lp]

Beautiful. Great thanks 🙂

[@leviathon74]

Impressive mate

[@Xonatron]

Good job.

[@spiskrigarenfrans]

Like a floating Metroid. Where the f**k do i go. Not many kids got to beat this game.

[@Fudgaboutit]

I don't think i ever seen the second stage boss ever. Think they made it hard enough? And i never heard this third music track ever. Kinda weird this is the first time i ever heard it

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

Its not that hard if you can avoid touching the Enemy ships which kills you instantly and you lose your weapon upgrades. Navigating the maze is mostly going UP every time until you get set back then figure out which level is DOWN

[@teamroca]

this game drove me nuts.. couldn’t play these side scrolling shooters for a long time after section z .. then i found einhander .. and lost my mind again

[@qaulthir4894]

Pastelle pink is an underrated colour.

[@marcoscruz5921]

this game is so goood big like

[@CameronMcCaffrey-e7p]

Balls to the wall hard. But damn fun!

[@ArtoPekkanen]

Hardly anybody knows this game ... I played this through many times as a kid :p

[@trip_six]

Section Z - the only game where grabbing too many speed boosts can possibly be a bad thing.

[@missilesplz]

Nono, there are plenty of those games.

[@McCucumber]

They need to limit the modern consoles sound capabilities so they can only sound like NES games. Make games so much better with this type of music. OH EYAH

[@ライダーマンロケット止める]

宇宙空間にノーマルスーツ着て無双する真のエースだ😊

[@ButtaMilkBiscuitsGaming]

Is it me or was Capcom games just ahead of their time when it came to certain things...

[@skipfuego6339]

This was better than the arcade version

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

Also check out GYRUSS NES which is way better than arcade

[@Schush]

nope

[@skipfuego6339]

@@Schush I have the arcade version and my og copy of section z. The music beats on the nes alone is better than the arcade version, the outfit on the main character in NES version looks more modern and futuristic compared to that boring looking comic book outfit in the arcade. The only thing that stands out in the arcade version is the difficulty of the game. Other than that, the arcade version wasn't good like that. Now if we were talking about games like ghost n goblins arcade version then yeah for sure it would blow the console version out the water, but we're talking about section z.

[@Soldier957]

So what's the story anyway? And when is the sequel coming out?

[@csx4402]

There was never a sequel.

[@luisreyes1963]

It was about a lone space soldier infiltrating an alien base to destroy their bio-mechanical computer before they launch a devastating attack throughout the solar system.

[@ライダーマンロケット止める]

これのためにホリコマンダー買った😊

[@EuSouRCS]

The Hardest game on NES/Famicom is HOLY DIVER,made by IREM!

[@mikescott1478]

How do you get auto fire

[@ghegs]

I used a peripheral called Turbo Blaster which can provide autofire to any NES controller, it plugs in between the console and the controller.

[@kirderf7222]

Techically it is a cheat

[@Fudgaboutit]

Man, i have never seen the end of this game ever. And notice your speedrun says "no deaths" because you can't take no hits lol

[@HummingbirdCyborg]

Do it again on nes

[@ghegs]

Huh? This is the NES game, and an original cartridge was used.

[@HummingbirdCyborg]

Wrong video. I was watching multiple section z videos and the guy beat it on an emulator. Meant to comment on the other video. Anyway, good job. I enjoyed the video. I used to have this game as a kid.
