SNES Longplay [017] Axelay

[@matttipton6009]

How has this beauty not been given a remaster or remake?!!!

[@skurmishterrahcell7163]

it doesn't need one m8! just perfect as it is. and we all know it.🙂

[@neuronoc.7343]

Okay boomer

[@SnailMaster]

It doesn't need a remaster. The game is perfect the way it is. I would just be happy if they could add it to the SNES library on the Switch.

[@robrobertson1458]

cause this beauty still looks awesome

[@Phyroxin]

This game has one of the best intros to a shoot em up, simple by today's standards but it got you psyched for the battle ahead. Great soundtrack too.

[@liamgallagherful]

One of the best no name blind buys I ever made. I was 12 when this came out. Video games were my life

[@1169218923]

Aaron Solomon wasn’t it. A lot of games where blind buys back in the day. You just took a chance looking at the back of the snes box. Good times

[@victuz]

I've played this as a kid, in the early 2000s

[@khlothostonney5760]

what are they now? past life?

[@diehardretrotv]

SAME HERE!!! I bought this game without knowing way to much about it and loved this one! Excellent game from Konami. Anyone reading this, it’s definitely worth buying. This game is right up their with Contra 3 and super Castlevania IV

[@liamgallagherful]

@@khlothostonney5760 part of life but have car & income = real world access

[@greensun1334]

Considered it's a home console game from '92, the graphical effects look simply amazing! Axelay is such an original game and it shows the SNES' capabilities, like 3 layers of true parallax scrolling, real transparency and a few decent mode 7 effects.

[@BernieGolgo13]

I loved playing this game on my Super NES when I was stationed at Norton Air Force Base back in 1992.

[@BernieGolgo13]

@Hanzo nope

[@RetroPiero]

That's awesome to hear. Playing this myself stationed in Virginia.

[@Marco_Ak]

How much I love SNES graphic, colours and sounds!

[@michaeldavidson5250]

One of the very best games on the entire SNES system.

[@Ai-fj1dc]

This game has quite an impressive visual narration. You can easily guess what's going on just by looking at the backgrounds.

[@jensich3300]

Erzählen sie mehr bitte und ihre Version dazu. 😊

[@beardhawk3308]

Still looks and sounds awesome. Axelay is easily my fav shmup, from any era or platform.

[@tundeuk]

That warm feeling when you hear the various stage music and it takes you back. I had a lot going on in my young life back then. College Uni, Girlfriends, side hustles (before it was a thing) work, and of course Axley on the Superfamicom.

[@grichagricha4719]

One of the best shoot' em up ever.

[@spector969]

I loved this game as a kid, but it's only coming back and watching it as an adult that I realise how awesome that intro really is!

Axelay,. one of the Most Awesome Games ever made in History.all Stages are a Masterpiece,. Wish it has 7-8 More.

[@CSLucasEpic]

Konami made the best shoot 'em up back in the day, and the very best of all of them was Axelay. The smoothness of this game, the difficulty, its shoot 'em up perfection.

[@uttflakesmccoy8040]

I love the way the ship kinda rocks back and forth and adjusts itself when you finish a level, like fuck you, I'ma shake your alien bullshit off.

[@mosiarmstrong]

Haha I never knew the ship did that. I looked for it after I saw your comment and it does indeed do that. That's hilarious.

[@uttflakesmccoy8040]

@Mosi It does it both vertically and horizontally and it's always been one of my favorite little victory animations in a game. 🥰

[@mosiarmstrong]

@@uttflakesmccoy8040 Axelay is a cool little hidden gem. I wish they would get it on Nintendo Switch online so I could experience it for myself.

[@uttflakesmccoy8040]

@Mosi Same here, I've been waiting to see it on Nintendo online but nope! 😓

[@daved4120]

Axelay was one of a kind as far as I know, I don't think there was another shooter or platformer that used mode 7 the way Axelay did, this has got to be one of the greatest games konami ever put out, loved this game, honestly couldn't remember if i ever finished it, but i'm getting nostalgia chills watching as I remember these enemies and boss fights, so i must have gotten to the end.

[@tatsujincorp]

Sorry, but this game barely used any mode-7. Ingame only on the 2nd level Boss.

[@TheDrunkardHu]

holy shit, there's a brightness adjustment slider in an SNES game.

[@GeekBearReporter]

God. I was a Freshman in High School when thus came out! My teen yesrs were great with video games bsck then!

[@TheRealityJack]

I'm so terrible at this game, I never beat the first level. But damn, it's so much fun! And the graphics and sound are excellent too!

[@liamgallagherful]

There's still time!

[@jacobspowell4416]

You and me both buddy. I went the something in Contra Hardcorps for sega genesis. Couldn't pass the first level

[@stephenn77]

You gotta get to Level 4, arguably the best level in the game!

[@martin79nxt]

Honestly that game is a masterpiece. I’m still waiting Axelay II.

[@johngavalas712]

Axelay 2 man I'd shit if that came out

[@XTRABIG]

I'm ready

[@charliehmi76]

Man we've been waiting a long time

[@raizenlord2169]

What a Game.... what a masterpiece. I miss my childhood, really bad ,_,

[@BifordusMaximus]

"Arms and installations complete! Goobla!" How I heard it when I was young.

[@SoundFantasy]

I heard whoblah instead of goobla

[@RandomDude-bo1lg]

Goobla too sir, goobla!

[@flubber781]

it says "Good luck" not goobla - lol

[@faustfaust2944]

Incredible game with an incredible soundtrack

[@davidhill8565]

2022 marks the 30th anniversary of Axelay.

[@blastradius9136]

One of the visually best looking SNES games. Could have easily been mistaken for an arcade game.

[@XTRABIG]

Easily

[@TronPachioftheDynamo]

Still waiting for that promised Axelay II, Konami. QnQ

[@MrRobjs83]

One of my favorite games of all time! Loved the music especially level 3 which was my favorite, never forget it! Levels 1-3 were easy once you got the hang of it but 4 was hard af and level 6 seemed damn near impossible.

[@davidsapir3764]

Oh my God the amount of time I spent on this game and Gradius 3...

[@khlothostonney5760]

you could have been an owner of a huge successful business by now if you didnt

[@greensun1334]

The is SNES is maybe not the best suited system for shooters, but it has some excellent titles to offer: Axelay, Space Megaforce, R-Type 3, Macross - Scrambled Valkyre, Phalanx and the very impressive shooter-hybrid Rendering Ranger R2 are just a few of them.

[@thematt5325]

The music in the beginning sounds like the intro to a 70’s tv show. Love it.

[@amonterroso069]

i did manage to beat this game, but losing a couple of lives in the process. Whoever is playing this deserves my respect bro.

[@captnwinkle]

I can't remember. I also beat ot but did you die with just one hit?

[@braboferreira]

Never played, just watched some random scenes from this video, and i'm very impressed with the art. Very beautiful game.

[@kidv2]

I remember people trashing that game when it was released for being to easy, I guess compared to Gradius or R-type it kind of is easier but to me that just a perfect difficulty balance and the pixel art and animations still look amazing today.

[@maestrolodahl8681]

And YES...STILL awesome and playable in 2022...and so on , and so forth

[@bergeracvandamme]

So many awesome memories. We were happier because we wanted less.

[@beardhawk3308]

Very true about wanting less.

[@yaphetbruce9321]

Still waiting for the sequel. Make it happen Konami!!

[@VictorBelfast]

That konami died along time ago :'((

[@SoundFantasy]

F

[@Sakf504]

This game has an excellent soundtrack

[@mjk012579]

This was one of my favorite all time super nes games. This game should not be slept on.

[@doddeddo]

helluva soundtrack, kind of puts to shame other games on the same console

[@SnailMaster]

Awesome 2D space shooter. One of the very best. And this game still looks amazing. And the music? Ohhhhhhhh so good. A true work of art by Konami here.

[@ChronoMoogle]

Hands down one of the best SNES-Shmups.

[@d-hunter9801]

Axelay is definitely the best shoot em up for Snes, Gradius 3 is the 2nd best one IMHO.

[@matiastau8495]

level 2 OST is incredible!!!

[@ClarkPotter]

I was in 6th grade when the SNES came out. I loved shmups, too. Idk how I missed this one. It's amazing. Better than R-Type even.

[@mosiarmstrong]

Yo, Mode 7 was a hell of a thing back in the day.

[@greggreg8210]

You know what's really weird every time as a kid I'd get chased by a girl I'd hear the level 3 music playing as I'm running from them but how badass is that also it took me forever to find this game and I'm glad I did find it after all these years long live Axelay

[@megna1]

One of the best memories of my youth.

[@rrrbub]

Truly a great shooter! My personal favourite of this genre on the SNES.

[@beardhawk3308]

Same here.

[@kiball09]

the most epic OST's on the SNES. Shoot em up and bullet hell games always had the best OSTs

[@spawn3002]

отдельный оскар человеку что делал музыку для этой игры!

[@Chicodelcuentito]

one of my most beloved games ¡_¡

[@misteriosokorn]

Gran juego,,,me da nostalgia... 😭😭😭

[@viktortamang7528]

Goddamn classic!!!

[@dannyhartwig7595]

the soundtrack is so awesome. i love the "sim city" scenes of stage 2

[@lucimarmartins1022]

Congratulations! Great Game an Great Soundtrack!!!

[@justauser6229]

I never played the game but sure looks fun and a pure simple plot

[@patricefichelle7310]

Beautiful game !

[@ZDR59]

Some games become a real life story because they inspire people...this seems like it could be one of them

[@zeyrox99135]

The game looked pretty tough. I would have enjoyed playing it. Thanks for the video.

[@RetroCanada777]

A masterpiece by all criteria

[@clyderadcliffe1536]

along with viewpoint on neo geo, it's criminal this never got a sequel

[@7302ab]

1 of the coolest games on the snes when released

[@MrRobjs83]

Beginning part looks like ID4. I'm convinced director Roland Emerich drew inspiration from this game

[@signorpaldoni]

This is a TAS run though, you got hit many times but didn't lose weapons or ships

[@antonioalexandrecampelo5668]

Amazing SNES games!!

[@kardulla]

This came pre-installed on an emulator I got years ago. It was an amazing game.

[@the_arm_bar]

Absolute work of art

[@Anrhok]

This game was my favorite. And I never seen that ending before cause never played hardmode.

[@Hydruss443]

Imo the best 16 bit shoot em up. Gradius & Thunderforce are great, but I prefer this.

[@Pasadenaboy27]

I rented this game at Blockbuster a couple times back then, I never could get far in this game.

[@CharlesFitzgerald-pm5uk]

This and Un Squadron are the best shoot em ups ever

[@DoktrDub]

What a criminally underrated schmup

[@mercedesjacevedosilva9146]

In Axelay (1992)

[@padokageek8111]

Amazing!!!! SNES forever!

[@spanishkat4194]

Masterpiece game no doubt .

[@paulolameiras861]

This game is so good!

[@shoryuken1827]

Weapon installation complete, good luck

[@bjrnb9042]

kind of trippy game. one of my friends had this. i give it b+

[@shafserious2805]

Superb game!🌠

[@congratsyouarethemoonmaster]

I got this game years ago for 25 dollars, crazy how it is like 100 or more now. Graphics sound and game play are all fine..Mode 7 levels are still impressive....but for a shooter it only has 2 Memorable bosses..that weird Alien/Ed209 rip off and the Flame Cyborg Giant thing on the cover that ends up being a total push over....Also wish there were more power ups.

[@skaladarrellgodeater1070]

Golden age of Komami doing GREAT Games

[@johnnyrico3068]

Memories unlocked!

Caraca Raven, vc joga demais esse jogo velho, naquela ultima parte ali, nem dava pra ver direito os tiros do inimigo O_o, ta de parabens :0)

[@xRavenXP]

Obrigado aê Fabri, em todas as fases usei o laser de fogo (mais forte e em linha reta) mas para a ultima eu preferi o de raio pelo seu alcance e tbm por precisar destruir inimigos que so se acertam em pontos especificos (coisa tipica de alguns shooters), mais novidades minhas estão vindo, to dando duro nesse exato momento para terminar Chrono Cross (estou batalhando pelo melhor final) e Legend of Dragoon, entre os jogos enormes que citei faço uns curtos também. Abração aí, estamos juntos aí pro que der e vier!

Nossa cara, lembro q pra fazer o final bom do Chrono Cross, a ultima batalha é meio tensa ( tenho um amigo que quebrou o CD 2 de raiva kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, mas o CD era meu :0/ , depois ele me devolveu \o/ ) vou aguardar esses 2 projetos seus, pois gosto muito dos jogos citados :0)

[@xRavenXP]

Tem muito mais a caminho também, estou aproveitando as ferias para cuidar bem disso. Tem um que estou fazendo um longplay alternativo (a) do Tiny Toons de SNES, só espero que a previsão que o Gebirge disse na ultima parte do video dele se confirme de que tem coisas diferentes zerando no hard pois ja tem uma video desse game aqui jogado no normal. Aguarde e verá, estou de olho nas suas investidas nos games aê!

[@SonofRaa]

Watching this replay, I don't know how I beat half of these games as a kid. I'd get my head handed to me if I tried to play this now. 😆🤣😂

[@junsang790]

Konami was genius at that times...

[@dannyhartwig7676]

That time each Konami game was a Sure buy worth ya money.

[@inceptional]

I've never really liked that curved scrolling effect in the vertical levels in this game. I wish they'd just done the same levels with normal flat art and some parallax. But beyond that personal grip the game looks pretty good.

[@JoaoDis]

This game is a extremely beautiful

[@camerongreenwoodcrampakacgc.]

The best game on the SNES apart from Maximum Carnage.

[@samuelpie5254]

Konami did make another Axelay even when this game was well acepted by the players.

[@davidgigauri2512]

I want to be able to play this game again and finish it...

[@davidhill8565]

The North American box art is based off the first and penultimate levels of the game. The Japanese box art is based off the third and final levels.

[@johngavalas712]

I own a snes it is my destiny to find this game and both r-type

[@williamfiuza8328]

Great game.

[@inceptional]

27:00 Is that fire boss created entirely from sprites, or is most of it made from a background, with just the arms and hands being sprites? And, if it is using a background for the main body and stuff, then why is there so much sprite flickering? I thought the SNES could show more sprites in a row than what seems to be the case here.

[@OmegaDez]

Someone here clearly hasn't played Gradius III! :) Flickering and slowdown still existed on the SNES.

[@LastSifu]

Favorite shooter ever!

[@jeffreycheng5984]

Round vulcan is innovative.

[@andyn510]

Great game. Difficult too. Hated the tease at the end when beaten at the highest difficulty. Great music and effects at the time, and still is.

[@chrisschneider5480]

what tease?

[@Bloodreign1]

@@chrisschneider5480 Axelay 2

[@Mr.Pacario]

I always thought this game was a bit uneven, with great looking overhead stages but better playing side-scrolling ones. A PSOne sequel could have been amazing--I'm thinking of Einhander.

[@hohohohkatonado5260]

나는 나의 SUPER COMBOY로 이것을 얻은 것을 기억한다. 그래픽은 당시 최고 였고 어린 시절 저는 충격을 받았습니다. 하지만이 게임의 문제는이 게임이 엄청난 수준에 걸쳐 있고 완료하려면 상당한 시간이 필요하다는 것입니다. Nintendo는 콘솔을 만드는 경계를 정말로 넓혔고 개발자는 그 힘을 잘 활용했습니다.
