Volleyball games on the NES - NESfriend

[@Hungrybillpizzabandit]

Disappointed we didn't get a Garry Kitchen volleyball game. Garry Kitchen's "Blood on the sand". 2 v 2 beach volleyball with battle tanks.

[@TopSpot123]

They probably would've sold more black box Volleyball had they only called it Air Humping Volleyball, ngl. Especially if they swapped to that last cover art.

[@7thangelad586]

My favorite volleyball games are the ones I played at vacation Bible school and family reunions. Those were unforgiving and ruthless and kinda deserved a Wisdom Tree title.

[@ggbetz]

Bruises, black eyes, and Califlower ear...and the whistling if it just missed your ear! So much blood

[@baustin1215]

“WE’RE GONNA PUNISH YOU TURKEYS WITH OUR SPIKES”. Damn, Al’s place has got to be lit on thanksgiving.

[@NESFriend]

Brad is way too fierce around a turducken as well

[@TIDbitRETRO]

Super Spike V’Ball is a legit Top 50 NES game. It’s got great sprites, catchy music, fantastic gameplay, and tight controls. Plus it uses the NES Four Score brilliantly.

[@raphaelfp]

Volleyball is often overlooked on videogames. Apart from Super Volleyball (Genesis) and Hyper V-Ball (SNES) I haven't seen many volleyball games around, let alone those on NES. Kings of the Beach looked like the best for me. I guess apart from player legends it's easier to name teams who made history like Brazil in the '92 Olympics and between 2004-2016 (male) and the female team since 2008. Russia, Italy, USA and Poland always gather fine players as well. Volleyball is a very popular sport here in Brazil and a school favorite, probably the most practiced after soccer

[@RetroRubbish]

My buddy and I used to rent Kings of the Beach back in the day and always had a blast with it! Super spike V'ball is also pretty awesome! ✌🏐

[@NESFriend]

Hella fun multiplayer games for sure

[@HybridAngelZero]

I don't have much investment in Volleyball, but I gotta say, having the Lee brothers as playable characters is pretty cool xD

[@Mutantoons]

Great video as always-- I kept waiting for that super dodgeball game to come up- why did I file that away in my subconscious as volleyball?!

[@NESFriend]

You're not alone! A few of us wrongly imagined there was a Kunio volleyball game out there somewhere

[@Mutantoons]

@@NESFriend phew! Good to know I'm not alone there haha! Keep up the great work.

[@jesusflores-dc2mw]

I was never very interested in volleyball, playing it with Billy and Jimmy was a hole different story, I spent hours of fun playing it with my brothers. Great video Trav, watch out for the crab!

[@NESFriend]

Crabs be sneaky Jesus!

[@XanthinZarda]

Weird, I thought there was a Kunio vollyball game, but seems not. You'd think the Kunio Bros would have gotten themselves into it.

[@NESFriend]

There might be one in Japan? I thought the same but was probably just thinking of Dodgeball

[@Gatorade69]

There is a Kunio Volleyball game... For the Game boy. Super Spike V Ball was also made by Technos Japan. I could have sworn that the Japanese release had Kunio but I can't find any evidence to back that up.

[@NESFriend]

It's our collective Berenstain Bears moment!

[@iansmith8783]

Nintendo World Cup which was released on the special cartridge with super spike was originally a kunio-kun soccer game.

[@hansgruber9457]

9:27 Oh screw that! I didn't even put my towel away!

[@willmistretta]

Between the apparently quite chilly lady at 9:26 and all that air humping, I think we can conclusively call volleyball the sexiest genre on the NES.

[@rphoenix5908]

Nintendo's censors must have missed the "cold" lady, because similar things were typically not allowed in western releases and were removed for other games of that era released on NES.

[@chadbaileyisawesome]

I remember renting that dual game cartridge and having a lot of fun with both Super Spike and World Cup.

[@bes03c]

It takes true skill to make an interesting video about 8bit volleyall games

[@guillermos8447]

Kings of the Beach is great and fun, even if you don't like volleyball or sports games.

[@heidibenner1577]

Agreed. I had just as much fun with that game compared to Super Spike v ball

[@GoodVibeCollecting]

I agree that both Super Spike and Kings of the Beach are great but I give the slight edge to Super Spike simply because it's more fun and feels more arcade like. That's because it's actually a port of U.S. Championship V'Ball.

[@AncientWare]

I dig the 4x3 aspect ratio!

[@NESFriend]

Thanks! @topspot123 showed me the light on that

[@Deathmetallad]

"The sound design is.. tolerable." 😂🤣😂🤣

[@starlightwitch12]

Apperntly Kings of the Beach was a computer game for DOS and C64.

[@w00dyp0p]

Ah, maybe that explains the Electronic Arts sign in the background

[@agentchris1482]

For V Spike volleyball there’s a game genie code where you can play as females.

[@NESFriend]

Didn't know this. Interesting!

[@agentchris1482]

@@NESFriend Yup!

[@m0arf]

Even though I never played Super Spike V'Ball I just don't get why it wasn't made into a Kunio Kun Volleyball game, since there is a game for almost every ball sport in the Kunio Kun series.

[@ostiariusalpha]

Would have been neat. Technōs did make a Kunio v-ball game for the Game Boy though.

[@CharlieColeslaw]

I really love your content!

[@NESFriend]

I'm a fan of coleslaw, myself. Thanks Charlie!

[@MattCayen]

That humping dance wouldve made me laugh for years with my cousin as a kid XDD. Loved the og Tennis and Baseball on Nes, wouldve liked this im sure

[@tonypacino7034]

Love your reviews bro

[@NESFriend]

Love you Tony

[@ggbetz]

Makes me miss the beach!

[@NESFriend]

At the beach now! Planned this release accordingly 😉

[@ggbetz]

@@NESFriend perfection!

[@hansgruber9457]

4:57 "... and biiig dicks!" What?! I can't even... Be right back, shower hasn't even dried yet.

[@madspunky]

Hilarious stuff! : D

[@billcook4768]

Wrong Mike Myers. The manual was written by the kid from Halloween.

[@NESFriend]

The kid? I thought he was a full grown maniac

[@hansgruber9457]

1:55 What is that man doing to the ball? And why do the other players copy his motion? What perverted sport is this? Frivolous! Taking a quick cold shower and will be back in a minute.

[@scorponicdragonm.p.t.]

This game needs some affirmative action LOL

[@Metalclear82]

Love your content! keep up the good work! oh and also... First! lol
