Let's Play Power Blade 1: Intro and Sector 1

[themovieman247]

change Nova's tanktop to Red and you have Duke Nukem.

[ForeverTomorow]

Nova is duke nukems brother ?

[Noodle1423]

Starring Duke Nukem in a blue tank.

[xarboy5000]

I have the Nintendo Power with this cover. I thought it looked quite Contra-with-a-boomarang-ish.

[taxmanXD]

I just love how he holds up his hand after he beats a sector

[MegatronECS]

awesome music on power blade :)

[Undertakergrave666]

awesome LP

[ALinkttF]

I have good memories of playing Power Blade on my NES.

Although, I'm not sure wether this or Tron was better.

[FunnyGamesReviews]

it's like a mixture of mega man duke nukem and ninja gaiden

[Zeralith]

I learned to run from Sonic the Hedgehog, so I always run with my head down and my arms flying out behind me.

I have been told I look like a dork when I do this.

I have been told I look like a dork anyway.

I simply do not care.

[DeceasedCrab]

You learned to run from the bad, 3d Sonic games. You ought to care.

[LoZDestroyer]

@DeceasedCrab If your legs don't spin like a helicopter while you run, you aren't awesome

[vortigaunt25]

@Zeralith Oh, you do that too?

[Shavarnarak]

@Zeralith

It'll be very funny then if you ever trip.

And very painful for you, since it's going to make you smack face-first against the ground.

But funniest home video material for everyone else!

[DancingWithNinjas]

AH!

To the presses dammit, we must get the new "Running For Dummies" out to the public as fast as we can, someone is on to us!

[BlizzardFenrir]

"They should have a manual for running."

Or you look on WikiHow. It wouldn't surprise me if there actually is a page on that there.

...

*goes to look*

[Deathwingx12]

He resembles Duke Nukem in the intro and then looks like a fat faceless Chuck Norris during the game. And somehow all the contacts look almost exactly like him. So very strange.

[slim1066]

omg is that duke nukem

[Bladedlightning]

Three words.

Forrest Gump run.

[Zangamarth]

You mean "Run, Forrest, run!" ?

[Solarn40]

It's Duke Nukem!

[VeePickle]

With a boomerang!

[VeePickle]

0:04 - AHNULD! Wait, what?

[RTardEntertainment]

I used to run like the terminator, with my fingers straight forward, like im about to slash your arms off. lol.

[kurtcobainisgod]

Nova's got balls of steel

[tenta01]

Duke Nukem?? O_o

[ViceCommando]

What a great game, I was so disappointed when I got this one as a child, and played it through in one night (using the more difficult mode)...

[xveers]

Man... I remember playing this game when I was a kid... one of the first games I could actually beat...

[BaronOfBacon]

Nova needs to press only one button to hack a computer.

[jasonsgroovemachine]

hamburgers work like that in real life, and earthbound

[GullGet9]

Nova's boss kinda resembles Mobile Suit Gundam's Bright Noa from this angle...

[anubite13]

this was one of my favorite game of all time at the nes time... aww nostalgia

[johnathanjericho]

i nocked out a few people with a boomerange, i have way to much time don't i?

[KaioshinSama84]

Not only does he look like the Duke, but that helmet icon on the right looks like Samus Aran's.

[furbearingbrick]

Power Blade was oiginal Power Blazer. It had worse controls and a more "cutesy" look.

[Rocky183]

Wow, Nova looks so much like Duke Nukem, but the time I saw such a huge guy with a boomerang as a weapon... Wow. Just wow.

[Shintaka9009]

You were right: there are bats in EVERY SINGLE FREAKING PLATFORMER EVER.

[LchanOtakudom]

UMBRELLA!

[BagonFTW]

Yeah, like those bats in Mario.

[mraarm42]

Yeah, those ones in Super Mario 64.

[Shintaka9009]

Nova looks reasonable in that attire, but Duke Nukem pulls it off with real finesse.

[diablomoose]

People really should teach their kids how to run. I don't ever remember running funny, but i used to jump like Mario.

[Axemunger]

hmm when I throw a boomarang, it doesn't come back!

[DeceasedCrab]

You're doing it wrong!

[TheGeekLord]

Why does Nova remind me of Duke Nukem?

Methinks DN was based off of him.

[SundarkSoldier]

DUKE NUKEM FOREVER!? WHAT!?

[groovemanexe]

Oh wow, it's Captain Saver: Tron Edition. How exactly is this game related to that one? Sequel?

[SamuraiFoochs]

Captain Saver is a sequel to this, I believe, so yes.

[dumplechan]

hee hee...TAPE UNITS. So very 80s.

Fun stuff. And I love that the killer robots contain hamburgers.

[TantricNferno]

Duke Nukem should sue him. O_o

[EightBitOutlaw]

I remember seeing this long ago in Nintendo Power and thinking it looked interesting, but I never actually played it. This should be a good watch.

[FrodoPimp]

taito made some really fun games back in the day

[UltraJMan]

I remember this game, it was fun and made me happy, until it got really hard. Then it made me sad inside and I haven't played it since, good luck and godspeed DC! You'll probably need it for this game.

[ChazDragoon]

Huh..i didnt know Duke Nukem had a brother in a blue tanktop. O_o

Yeah..im gona get hurt for that one. DX

[Onirayushizobura]

Nova Armitage?

Oh, and were you serious about the running thing? Because I recall that when I was four I thought I could run faster if I ran like Sonic the Hedgehog, so I practiced doing circular motions with my legs as I ran and now everybody says I look extremely gay when I run.

[SBaby]

Power Blade is a fun game. And it's definitely a welcome break from those insanely difficult games you've been playing lately.

[CCCM89]

first a yo-yo, now a boomerang. what will the world think of next?

[TheHelldragon]

This game actually looks fun. I might have to hold off on watching this Let's Play-I'd rather Me Play. The game, that is.

[Mxyzptlk246]

I think the contact is John Gordon, the first guy he tells you about.

The faces look slightly similar.

[Wildfire667]

wow I'm getting flashbacks to the Nintendo power that had an article on this game, and the sequel

[KingInYellowTatters]

What are robots doing carrying hamburgers anyway? Were they formerly food service robots before they went berserk? Oh well. It's probably one for the sages.

[ProVsCon]

That's not Nova! That's Duke Nukem!

[Jigglysaint]

Ahh, nice choice with Power Blade. I hope you are going to do Power Blade 2 after this. This game was good, but it lacked somewhat in the item department. I'm a big fan of tons of items being found everywhere.

[tlarn]

I'm sure they'd find some way to make boomerangs awesome weapons in 2191, but with that Power Blade suit, there must be better choices of weaponry instead of a boomerang. Ah well, thinking too much into it.

I haven't played Power Blade before, but it does give me some nostalgia of the good ol' days. This is going to be a very good LP!

[stormbringer444]

Ahh, childhood memories. Dispatching robots with boomerangs. Those were good times :)

[NYGuy322]

I was so waiting for you to shout "Umbrella!" when you used the grenade at 4:33.

[Introbulus]

Huh...compared to some of your other games, this one looks a lot easier to beat...but maybe it's just decieving us with the first level, and the other six hare extra-hard?

Also, definately Megaman-reminiscent.  Kinda like playing through the whole game with The Quick Boomerang.

FIGHT, NOVA! FOR EVERLASTING PEACE!

[Rockmage]

The music is fricken great. The weird thing about this game is that it looks so American, but it's made by Taito.

[doggydude8912345]

Yay a new let's play!!!

Thank god it doesn't suck like Star Tropics 2...

[Frankomatic]

Damn you MCP! Damn you and your evil!

He does look remarkably like Duke Nukem though.

[LEGOmationworks]

The level select screen looks hauntingly like Megaman.....or 8 Eyes.

[Mxyzptlk246]

This game is a LOT like megaman, but without accumulating powerups from bosses.

I have an urge to play this game now.

[Fairtravian]

Oh robots, we use machines because they don't make mistakes!

[ultimachocobo86]

That funny looking things is Samus' Chozo Helmet.

[ChibiFighter]

Awesome I was wondering what the next lets play would be.

[VagueLoaf]

The thing next to the time looks like Samus Aran to me.

[Linkfire]

This game looks like a mix of megaman and castlevania..well the health bar mostly.

Gonna be a good LP

[LaZodiac]

Are you willing to say the PowerBlade is as "bad" as the PowerGlove?

[DeceasedCrab]

Both are awesome.

[LaZodiac]

Indeed. And chances are I don't have to point out the Wizerd referance of my question ^.^

Good luck with this game, and thank you for playing something that looks so cool.

[Chronomaster]

Awesomely bad?

[DeceasedCrab]

Awesomely awesome. The only thing that is bad here is your taste. How dare you.

[MeebleMeeble]

the early adventures of Duke Nukem

[LusikkaMage]

Hehe.  'twas fun to watch. Do you record the talkings while you play (ala Kolibiri) or afterwards?

[DeceasedCrab]

While I play.

[Ryokugun2]

Cool. I remember Power Blade.

[digggert]

lol that guy reminds me of terminator

[DeceasedCrab]

Gee, I wonder why.

[shinkaito]

"My boomerang will be back..."

[veorens]

the title screen also looks like the terminator 1 poster with arnie in the glasses
