SUPERMAN (NES) - PLAY IT THROUGH

[@chrisnotbad]

Thanks for making this video man. I played this game originally when it came out on the NES back in the day. The game actually has a decent story line, and strategy. I don't think it was a bad Superman game at all for it's time. Thanks again for posting this video. If not for people like you, then people like me wouldn't be able to relive a part of their childhood, and enjoy the memories of the good ole days. I salute you sir, and I am subscribing to you now. On a final note. I was happy to hear you talking during the game play. You were informative, and you added your own perspective to the game which I liked.

[@flormartillo5133]

All this time I had the super powers of walking everywhere and taking the subway, and I didn't even realize it. Thanks Superman on NES!

[@marcuscristy5371]

I remember playing this when I was 8yrs old. my mom worked at a video store. since me and my younger brother where fans of superman, she got this game from her job. was one of my favorite games at the time....

[@tosborne8062]

Wow, great walk-through and good explanations!

[@MrBossyful]

Batman always had more luck as far as games go. A fun fact: a good chunk of musical tracks/sound effects etc. were lifted from another, Japan-only game by the same developer, 'Indora no Hikari' (which is a rather sub-par RPG at best).

[@travismcdowell8352]

I grew up playing this game. Because I was a big Superman fan ! I don't think it's a bad game just really confusing! One of those where the hell do I go type of games

[@marklinstom5145]

I remember renting this game and was like, "What the hell is going on in this game?"

[@RoyStantz]

The reason everyone thinks that all the Superman video-games suck is because none of them "capture the spirit of the character". Now, I'm not a programmer, but to tell you the truth, a game that captured the spirit of Superman would be really boring as hell. Here's what a real Superman game would be like: You fly around beating up everyone and not taking any damage, then Lex Luthor shows up with a load of Green Kryptonite, and you automatically lose. The End. Does that sound like a fun game? No, it doesn't. I understand that people think a game where you get to be the real Superman would be fun, but it's not possible. A video-game needs to have difficulty, and you need to be able to lose. If you really want to feel like Superman, then get a Game Genie, Action Replay, or Game Shark, put in an invincibility code, and presto, you're the invincible, *REAL* Superman, and all the fun and challenge is gone.

[@merkinmanj875]

the 8-bit version the superman theme is actually pretty awesome..

[@andrewclark1945]

i never had the patience for this as a kid past beating the first boss. thanks for playing through it!

[@exodous02]

When I was a kid I could not figure out this game at all. It also ticks me off that the Japanese version has the correct music. Wonder if anyone has hacked this and game the US version the correct music.

[@robd4701]

Superman on the subway is funny enough, but he is only half the size of the door, making him approximately 3'4". One of the other people on the subway, who looks like nothing more than a shadow is twice his size, officially confirming that superman is a dwarf.

[@jaredt2590]

Wow somebody's beaten this game.

[@Korgi_Polymer]

The statue of "freedom" looks absolutely adorable!

[@alucard624]

This is definitely one of those games that unless you've memorized where to go and what to do you'll definitely need a walkthrough because it can be very confusing for the most part. Once you get past that it's not a bad game at all. Just wish the NES version had the John Williams music like the Famicom version does.

[@saylacofilms]

thanks for the playthrough! I don't think I could make it all the way through! =)

[@dotprince83]

Had this game as a kid, first time I've ever seen the subway lol

[@jaynukem1929]

Lex Luther looks like "Wimpy" the hamburger eating character from "Popeye". A villian with a big nose, big ears, a beer belly, and a smile. How menacing is that?

[@officespace7777]

I think the famicom version is better. In the famicom version jay falk is ross webster from Superman 3. Both the US and japan versions are basically the same. With some minor differences in the Japan version. I think this was a Japan only game at first. Then it got ported to the US. But they didn't do a very good job on the translations. There was also a strategy guide for the Japan version. The music on famicom is truly fantastic. With Superman music all throughout the game. I think they used the whole score. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the lex luthor music when I went underground to fight lex luthor. If you can get past the Japanese, it's definitely worth playing once.

[@barbe00brune]

For some reason I cant find many videos on this game. More suprisingly, there is no speedruns of this game on youtube. Weird. I may start to speedrun this game.

[@srichard7291]

Did you speedrun this game?

[@barbe00brune]

Decided to get the cart this week. Will start the speedrun in a week or so

[@srichard7291]

barbe00brune Awesome thank you

[@barbe00brune]

I did a speedrun and got wr today ^^ if you are interested www.twitch.tv/cyanid_/v/102310767

[@srichard7291]

barbe00brune Thanks watching now

[@OMGmyFACE]

The Statue of Liberty is so kawaii.

[@justina9137]

Lois tells you what to do.. but Lois isnt supposed to know Clark is Superman.. 🤔

[@spoonshiro]

Rented this one as a kid. Couldn't figure it out at all!

[@jmarcguy]

I remember playing this as a kid. So much of it made no sense! The subway, the villains, the character models. I was 17 I think & so desperate for a Superman game. This was for a much younger audience. Had this & the Atari game. Not a good run for Superman. Only other game I played was the one for SNES.

[@nothanks5570]

Yep statue of freedom that's what it's called.

[@njdevilchild]

I totally got this for my 8th birthday

[@jkhristian9603]

I loved this game as a kid. It's probably the best Superman game ever made, but thats not a high bar. Most Superman games are really really poor. So if it had more competition this probably wouldn't be the case. Part of me feels like this game could be remade/reimagined. Maybe with the adventure/investigation portions as Clark Kent and the action portions as Superman. The adventure portions I always really appreciated even though they are crude by todays standards.

[@LegendoftheAce1]

What are the different stage passwords? Only level 5 is listed elsewhere.

[@gregfalco4528]

If someone tried to sell you a game like this in 2019, they would be catching hands later that day when you come back.

[@Djclyve]

I want to play this game. But it refuses to let me. The combat is so weird I can’t tell if I’m doing anything.

[@TheUKNutter]

Pfft I never understood how to play this game. So I just explored. So much fun though, enemy difficulty was spot on (This is how to create difficulty in a game)

[@acriser15]

should checkout jedite's review of the game, so hilarious!

[@RichardSturtevant]

This is the only Superman game where you can change back and forth between Clark Kent and Superman. Other Superman games never had that option on Sega Genisis and N64 and Playstation.

[@KillaHillz]

+Richard Sturtevant Atari 2600 Superman u could also

[@RichardSturtevant]

Ok I wasnt aware of that.

[@spikeriley]

+Richard Sturtevant Well, why would you want to play as boring old Clark Kent? It's like why would you want to play as Bruce Wayne only in a Batman game?

[@RichardSturtevant]

I like the fact you can change Clark Kent to Superman.

[@NeoMegaMan]

Good Stuff Corn. Have you ever thought about (or done) a PIT for the Carmen Sandiego Games?

[@Shodian]

What was thr name of the game he mentioned at 17:08? I can't find it

[@Leszkonidas]

I think the city has bigger concerns seeing all those zombies running around than the stock market.

[@jesternario]

Superman riding the subway. That's funny.

[@phantomspydj]

Can't wait for you to play Superman on Genesis

[@sic6664]

Imagine getting this for your birthday as a kid. It would have been so disappointing.

[@Mai_Shiranui123]

Good video

[@einstwareinlicht]

Thank you so much for uploading this !!!

[@Sly88Frye]

This game doesn't look as bad when you play it. It would take significantly longer I imagine if you actually fought the enemies.

[@ChizuMcCheems]

Sly88Frye I was just thinking that. As a kid I never got much further than the first boss, which I didn't even know was a boss. This game's problem was it's lack of direction. Glad corn played through so I didn't have to lmao.

[@Sly88Frye]

Chris Schropfer Yeah. Cornshaq is amazing! He makes really hard games look more beatable and games that generally are considered bad look better and more playable.

[@Boom-Boom87]

For some odd reason I loved this game as a kid, and for another odd reason I played this game so much I could beat the game being just Clark Kent

[@The_True_Dovahkiin]

Did any one else notice at the end it played our national anthem?

[@WiiClassic2usb]

17:00 - What the hell is he saying??? "INDORAN NOVA CARD????" I also notice he says "during" as "doring" - can somebody translate, please? Update: Okay, found someone else's video where they actually name that game in text (Indora no Hikari), but I still swear it sounds like he said "Indora Nova Card." lol....

[@Angie2343]

I noticed. Wow. =O

[@blackwolf249]

@@WiiClassic2usb He said "Indora no Hikari", which translates to, "Light of Indra". From what I've heard, Light of Indra is a hidden gem.

[@Rkiser0592]

helpful vid bud, wish you didn't have to trigger the events with conversation :(

[@cammy85]

True. It's not just a beat em up. Though Cornshaq and other videos and text guides (like mine) tell you where to go and what to do, your job is to still be an investigative reporter even in your Superman getup. Therefore, yes, talking to people triggers future events just like in certain RPGs.

[@JazGalaxy]

It's funny how much the art in this game reminds me of earthbound

[@chuckobscure]

I thought I was the only one who noticed that. Difference is, Earthbound is good. xD

[@scottydu81]

i loved tht movie when i was a kid. looking back, i had some bad taste

[@eugenpuiu9639]

hey can you tell me the name of ALL those Monsters? or bosses? :3

[@cammy85]

Level 1 is Zaora , or Zoara. Whatever. Level 2 is the Dragons Gang leader. Level 3 is Jay Falk from Superman 3. Level 4 is Lex Luthor. Level 5: Ursa, Non and General Zod.

[@codyjackson5469]

U did good!

[@GeoffreyToday]

Honestly, I prefer the North American theme. The Japanese version's adaptation of the John Williams theme just sounds off to me.

[@drewdogg77]

So you're tellin' me that Superman needs to take the subway??

[@b00rk]

Did you like it??

[@trustobey1016]

Thank You

[@The_Wolf74]

6:36 AVGN: "Oh- wh- How- H-, what?! Daily Planets?! Isn't It just the Daily Planet I don't know I had enough already!" 6:48 AVGN: "Wait a minute, stock market panic. Stock prices fall. What? Are we talking about stocks now?!" AVGN: "Find out why stock prices fallen, you'll learn about stocks from the stock market." Okay that's the goal here? To go to the stock market? Oh my god, do you remember being a kid? Remember playing Nintendo? What kind of things were you interested in? Comic books, Video games erm- The Stock market! Yeah do you think any kid playing this game gives a shit about the fucking stock market?! Just- did- ju- h- wh- wh- why?! Wh-Why make a game that has anything to do with stocks, taxes or politics?! You just don't do that! It's like what were they thinking?! Stocks?! I just can't- I just-! Erm- Uh *SHITS* I god I just-, shit load of fuck...

[@CEEPMDEE]

This game was/is so baaad... except for the music when at The Daily Planet

[@GardevoirBoy]

This game really should have stayed in Japan!

[@commandernemex3478]

Anyone here from AVGN?

[@ELJimO1985]

superman a super hero who can fly used the subway?........... ok then

[@PhoenixAlaris93]

At the end of the video: OH SAY CAN YOU SEE THAT YOU PLAYED A CRAP GAME

[@johnf.2722]

Superman taking the subway, being hurt by punches and bullets... Everyone in this game has kryptonite ? Or is this a human wearing superman costume ? Shame on this game. Good Walkthrough though.

[@Fatalroadie]

Why is superman riding the subway, and walking thru sewers? lol

[@GameShowGumbo]

He looks like the Lex Luthor from Superman IV: The Quest For Peace i.e. a really terrible movie that shouldn't have existed.

[@jdemars]

"Faster than a speeding bullet". Not in this game.

[@LOKBLUDOM3N]

1) Ok I understand that when he's Clark Kent (Superman's alter ego, which it will make him look like a >>NORMAL CITIZEN!

[@RainePhoenix]

From the standpoint of an observer, nothing about this game works! I've never played it, so I don't feel entirely qualified to make a proper assessment, mind you, but... wow. What a sterling example of how not to make a licensed superhero video game. Especially not one based upon one of the most beloved and quintessential superheroes of all time!

[@pilgrimMj]

You poor thing.

[@courtneygillespie]

What is this 😳....what even is this 😆

[@MasterZebulin]

Hee hee.
