Well I accidently lost most of this recording.... Whoops ______________________________________________________ Batman: The Video Game for NES isn’t just another licensed title — it’s a full-on beatdown of what people expect from movie games. Released to tie in with Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman film, this game earned serious respect for its tight gameplay, moody graphics, and hard-hitting soundtrack. 🕹️ Gameplay Breakdown You control Batman through five intense side-scrolling stages, battling through Gotham’s criminal underworld to stop the Joker’s twisted plan. It blends fast platforming, wall-jumping (before Ninja Gaiden made it cool), and intense combat. Wall Jumps: Innovative for the time, this mechanic is key to movement and level design Batarangs, Missiles, and Dirks: Batman uses multiple weapons — each with unique uses and ammo Tight Combat: Punching feels responsive and satisfying Boss Fights: Face off against iconic enemies, including Firebug and Joker himself 🎵 Sound and Style One of the best NES soundtracks of its era — heavy, energetic, and atmospheric Visuals are dark and gritty, capturing the tone of the movie Cutscenes with stylized sprites bring the Tim Burton vibe to 8-bit life 😎 Why It Stands Out Doesn’t rely heavily on the movie’s plot — it builds its own gritty identity Great level design with escalating difficulty Sunsoft’s signature polish shines through in every screen 🏆 Legacy Often ranked as one of the best action platformers on the NES, Batman: The Video Game helped redefine what a licensed game could be. Its legacy lives on in retro gaming circles as a rare gem in a sea of movie tie-in mediocrity. ___________________________________________________ #BatmanNES #RetroGaming #Sunsoft #NESPlatformer #Batman1989 #8BitBatman #DarkKnight #NESHard #ClassicGaming
