Batman: The Video Game (NES) Part 1 (1x59)

: 11, 2014

Batman: The Video Game was published and released by Sunsoft in 1990 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is a platform game consisting of five levels, that last of which being the Gotham City Cathedral where Batman must face off against The Joker! Similar to Ninja Gaiden, the gameplay largely involves Batman wall jumping in order to scale buildings. There were also versions of this game released for Sega Genesis and Gameboy. The NES version of the game is widely known as being one of the few movie based titles to receive positive critical reception for the system. In this video, James Rolfe and Mike Matei play the first four levels. Stay tuned next week for the conclusion, where Mike and James play through the final stage and attempt to make it to The Joker!
