Gradius 2 - Boss Recovery (NES / Famicom) - Part 2

[ZetaFlare2011]

6:31 Sure, but at least the Crab Walker is destroyable (in this port, anyway).

[raffi3o3]

cant remember last stage for pal version...

[Rogueshadow410]

I hate the damaging sound effect. I sounds like pacman eating pellets while drinking red bull.

[Rogueshadow410]

Ever notice the harder cores are weak monsters in the card game? They deserve waaaayyy more respect.

[DMSwordsmaster]

You forgot something in the credits-

Note to self- for God's sake, DESTROY ENEMY GENERATORS!

[stealthclown2]

I always felt bad for brain golem. he tries so hard but just never presents a challenge

[WhenxChristxReturnsx]

HOLY CRAP, the last boss has the most messed up head I've seen in an NES game...but it;s awesome!

[poopskinTheLiar]

Hey, Zelos Force doesn't just sit there and scream "DANGER! DANGER!" at you over and over in this one!

[fpelayo]

@ACEspark: You have all those extra lives in Stage 8 because Crab Walker was worth like 300 000 pts. (and way more than Gofer ;))

[zerolost]

my old cartridge had an annoying bug that i used to call the "invisible walls bug"... if i'd go at certain points of the screen, the ship just blewed up out of nowhere! but that was just in a few points of the game... unfortunately, one of these few points happened to be stage 7, when ur ship speeds up, and u have to go through those tight corridors! i had to memorize each "invisible wall" to be able to beat the game...

[shalpp]

The only thing I hate about this port's version of Gofer is that he actually fucking attacks you. D:

[goomba90]

why don't the boss rush bosses just blast you into pieces in an all-at-once attack?

[TehComs]

Crrrrrrazy ending...though I enjoy how quickly you beat that....strange boss.

[dracmeister]

You know, I did a playthrough with this game and got to the final stage, and yeah, we had the same situation of the 20-lives earned thing...

[evilegg288]

It's very polite of the Boss Rush bosses just to wait for you to finish them off one by one instead of just bum-rushing you.

Also, I can see now why the final level music is called "Something Ghastly". Eurgh.

[RegisteredPwner]

Love your vids dude! So retro.

[BuyMeThingsnow]

Hey Ace? One question, but is it allowed to use save states during boss recovery runs, or do you have to make due with the limited number of lives and continues you already have?

Just curious in case I should ever atempt such a thing.

[SnakeEater7771]

I did gradius gaiden boss run myself and I DID use savestates to get past some of the later bosses (Damn you GUN WALL)

[BuyMeThingsnow]

Ah. I see.

[YukaTakeuchiFan]

Looking at the video, so... Zeros Force attacks you both by spread bubbles and trying to give the player a seizure?

[Ultim874]

Nah... I think Crab Walker is 30 times hawter than the Las Vegas Showgirl.

[KrazyScruffy9001]

Oof, I do NOT want to fight Gofer. I'll probably get killed in like 5 seconds flat. Good job fighting him!

[Jacob041593]

Every time you break one of those barriers I feel like a powerup just got launched because Konami used the exact same sound effect in Contra, lol.

[Jarneaan85]

Note to Bacterion empire: Just give up already...

[evilegg288]

But that contravenes Rule 1 of the Video-Game Villain Charter: "Thou shalt not throw in the towel. Ever."!

[Jarneaan85]

Well, the final bosses in this series might as well just self destroy or something...

[BuyMeThingsnow]

I love your videos.
