  • Yes,it is Batman Contra,but ther's one thing:Contra is a good game!

  • Great game, very well done just like Batman for NES and Batman Returns for SNES as these were the last good Batman games before we got the Arkham Games to solve the prayers of great Batman games.

  • love ur reviews

  • BEST BATMAN GAME EVAH

  • @Witchcraftist Have you not played Arkham Asylum?

  • @inception4ever Arkham Asylum may be a great game, but it certainly doens't have the sentimental value and that old school style. I would play this over Arkham Asylum anytime.

  • @Witchcraftist

    What about Batman Returns for SNES and did you think Arkham City was better than the first game?

  • what do you mean batman does not use guns? Have you read the old comic? Batman uses guns all the time, it is just in the new ones he does not, and know where that idea come from? the 60's series with Adam West.

  • @michaeloakleaf Batman quit using Guns by 1940s maximum, Superman was also pretty reckless as well. The DC editor wanted them for child friendly.

  • The ironic thing here is that Batman was very much against guns. The game developers did not do there homework here.

  • how come u didnt review Batman rise of tzin su to gamecube? I own this game and it would be nice to know what u think of it :) and also would be nice if u did some more turtles games like those teenage mutant ninja turtles to gamecube, turtles 2 battle nexus gamecube and turtles 3 to gamecube or which console its released in

  • Nes Batman: The movie = Ninja Gaiden

    Batman Return of the Joker = Megaman/Rockman

  • can anybody say RIPOFF! lmao

  • 5/10 is pretty harsh giving how much you've complimented it

  • my favorite weapon  in this game - shuriken canon

  • I actually played this game in the early 90s, and I didn't think it was that hard. In fact, it was one of the easier games I played.

  • As has been mentioned it doesn't resemble Contra at all and Batman can't shoot in every direction. This explains why you have gotten so many thumbs down, in case you didn't realise.

  • This game is nothing at all like Contra dipshit.

  • in the next batman month in 2012 or next summer i would like for you to review these batman games: batman arkham asylum,batman rise of sin tzu,batman begins and vengeance for gba and batman returns for genessis

  • @david2000magic

    Im thinking next Summer or when the next movie comes out. The plan is to do them in advanced so I can do the rest of the Batman games =)

  • @kNIGHTWING01 YAY,awesome!!!^_^

  • @kNIGHTWING01 watching your Batman reviews makes me want to watch a Batman movie

  • @thevideogamenerd100

    Thankyou! Batman Month 2 is coming the month the Dark Knight Rises releases.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 awesome!  can't wait!

  • Comment removed

  • it's actually more like megaman...

  • Actually, going back to your "Story" segment, yes, Joker was killed both in the movie and NES game, BUT in the Beta Prototype of the NES game, The Joker was actually punched in the face and taken to jail... so Return of The Joker's plot is actually more coupled on to the Beta's ending instead of the official.

  • Though this may have been a tough Batman game, it was a bit okay for Bat-fan like me and it became the first NES game I beat in 15 years! It was also the first Sunsoft game I beat as well.

  • 2:38 where did you get that picture of batman?

  • Super Saiyan Batman for the epic win!

  • Hey at the part where Batman's flying around (4:50) us should've broke this in 2 parts like the 1st part u had Batman Contra and at (4:50) should've been 'Batman LifeForce'!! lol

  • You know that game of batman arkham asylum, that game improved, but kNIGHTWING01 has a point.

  • i have caos in gotham and it sucks and i'm getting dark tommorow because i'm a batman freak!!!! and it took me less than a day to be batman begins

  • Kwing, I liked to know if you had reviewed Batman:Arkham Asylum.BTW, Good review.I especially liked the Batman Contra bit. It's just hilarious.

  • 'Batman: Contra'.; "Classic! Not vintage, but, classic!".

  • batman contra lol

  • this is not really a contra clone. at least not to me. too much different in controls, visuals, and overall game play (to me) for it to be a contra clone.

  • Stage 1-1 one of the most epic game musics of alltime

  • I agree. It was very well designed. :)

  • I thought this was referrng to Batman Beyond (Terry McGuinnes) at first.

  • honestly this game is retarded.... and just for the fact that batman doesn't use any guns.. EVER... what the fuck was wrong with the guys that made this game? is it supposed to be some kind of parody or sth? omg... shit happens

  • rips off stages from galaga ninja turtles mario mega man etc

  • MARK HAMILL FTW!!

  • "Hey Gamers It's Kwing bringing you a review of the classic Batman:Contra!" LOL!!!

  • Plu plu plu! Prrrrrrr! Sound effects lol

  • this game is awesome!

  • Funny thing is, Sega may have upped the visuals to some extent, but the NES version blew it's 16 bit counterpart away in the music department.

  • @JoelJW its also better, because its not as impossible as its sega counterpart

  • Batman vs The CARROT!

  • "Thus, The Joker makes an impression on the ground, below."...: Nice pun.: :) .

  • theres actually a rom of the SNES version of the game called revenge of the joker which was finished, but not released. i dont download roms but ive heard that its much better than the genesis game, but not quite as good as the NES game.

  • i know that batman doesn't use guns now but in the extremely early comics, he did.

  • It's very curious, unless you're focusing on a game that was been widely seen as absolutely terrible or brilliant you tend to talk about the game mostly in a positive light, yet when you come to scoring it you score it with a very respectable grade. To put it simply, while you score the Batman games fairly, your contrast between positive and negative comments during the review seem out of balance. That's just me out course.

  • ahhh good god i loved this movie it was fuckin badass

  • lol at 5:48 did u say fatman

  • i thought batman hated guns, seeing as his parents were murdered w/ them?

  • lol MEGAMAN SLIDE

  • damn, this was an NES game??! This would have blown my mind as a child!

  • there was an snes return of the joker BUT it was called REVENGE OF THE JOKER OH GOD HELP US

  • AVGN

  • That was actually on Genesis.

  • UI80

  • i know screwattack did it.

  • wut!?

  • lol its megaman

  • the music or the shooting

  • BEST INTRO EVAR(yes with an A!)

  • im glad u mentioned something that i thought was the biggest mistake evr made in any batman game he nevr evr uses a gun and i cant stress that enuf

  • "...they're actually power ups that turn Batman into supersaiyan???" LOL

  • i cant believe the Genesis version looks like diarrhea.

    the NES version looks better. WHY DOES THE NES VERSION LOOK BETTER?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Becuase Nintendo is what Genesisn't.

  • sunsoft had the time so they could of delayed it.

    at first they look good but once you look into them, they look HORRENDOUS!

  • batman looks like megaman just detailed in this game.XP

  • 'Batman Contra'!

    (**Classic!**.).

    How'd you make the title screen with the 'Contra' logo & Batman in the back-ground?

  • "Thus, The Joker makes a big impression on the floor, below.".

    (**No pun, intended.**.).: :) .

  • do you like mario

  • "It's Batman walking through, well, crap."

    LMAO. Nice review.

  • Btw, do you think any of the Nes/Genesis/Snes Batman games will come to the Wii VC?

  • If you think the Joker has an orange face...

    Just looka t that guy from High School Musical..

    CARROT MONSTER D':

  • 7:54 -8:01 copy of bowser fite in super mario world

  • was it mark cammel or mark camble

  • (**Response to Grimreaper905.**.).

    Mark Hamil.

  • lol super B

  • he can shoot up!!! Not only to side

  • Music was awesome in this game

  • lol what batman uses a gun what the hell he shoots people

  • Lol Contra Batman was on SNES as well. I have only seen it in rom form on various emulation sites, so I'm not too sure if it was released. If you could get ahold of it, would love to see it reviewed as well, maybe as an addon to this video lol.

  • dude, check out batman returns for the nes. not sure if got released in the US... Mine's a European PAL version. it's pretty cool.

  • did ya'll know the animeted series joker's voice wasdone by Mark Hamill AKA Luke Skywalker?

    i didn't til they aired this countdown of villians and i was shocked!

  • my brother can beat this game in 10 mins......this game is fun!

  • batman games really dont give the whole batman experience i kinda think that if they ever pull it off it would make millions like a game where you as the batman make a name for yourself with anything and can costomize your look like unlocking batman suits from defferent version of batman and other weapons and stuff it would be a million dollar hit for sure

  • Super Saiyin Batman can not be stopped by Green Lantern.

  • I actually love this game, I don't think it's bad because it's hard just get used to it and you'll get good at it also why are the bosses so easy. I'd give it a 7 out of 10

  • was that eggman in the elevator???

  • Hey Kwing do you still have the Batman Contra picture? I would love to make it my Background on my channel.

    Great review man!

  • This game is much easier than the first game. Password system is one reason for that btw.

  • Turns batman into a super sayain lol

  • batman and guns??????? come on!!!!!!!!

  • KWing is right about it being almost an exact copie of contra, but when he was talking about the games Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu for Xbox had great boss battles. Each boss had a unique way to defeat them. And also get the whole Batman doesn't use guns since his parents were killed by a guy with a gun right in front of HIM!!.

  • dc approved of the game and so do i

  • batman contra haha

  • Why are people bitching so much about Kwingcalling it Batman Contra.Kwing is just kidding around.Taking a joke about a video game seriously is pathetic.Lighten up.

  • yea people need to learn to take a joke! i have been gameing sence i was 4 and i don't get pissed off when somebody makes a joke about my favorite games. infact if the joke is so aparent that i might have missed it while playing i laugh even harder. anyway some of you people should just go check out the video game parodies oer at newgrounds and learn to laugh at your favorite games. instead of protecting them like your the games jock strap.

  • duh.. that went well...

  • more than contra, batman seems to move like megaman.

  • Actually, this game was based on the comic books. Even though the "Stage Clear" images used the Batman, Batmobile, and Batwing based on the 1989 movie.

  • Batman bionic commando would have worked.

  • Where is the music starting at 3:10?

  • What's so contra about it ? There are lots of games where you go right, it side scrolls, you gather weapons and shoot guys.

  • It's not a Contra clone. It has some similarities, but it's much more akin to Fester's Quest, another Sunsoft game.

    A true clone game for the NES is The Krion Conquest, a blatant ripoff of Mega Man. I suggest you check that out!

  • Dude do you not see how Batman shoots his gun, the way the enemies die like they do in megaman and batman dies in a simillar way megaman dies. So it's a megaman rip off.

  • Megaman rip off *Cough cough*

  • Please do tell how this is a Mega Man ripoff.

  • I'm guessing that magnacartafan watched the AVGNs review of it.

  • wtf whats contra? or do you mean it as contradiction? XD

  • one of the most haredst games ever!

  • There's pretty much a Contradiction between this game and the Batman series. Batman stayed away from guns on the count of his parents were killed by one. Doesn't the fact that Batman's using a gun in the game bother anyone else?

  • This was an excellent review. I subscribed.

  • Ripoff of Contra with Mega Man 3 controls??? SWEET!!! I gotta play this one!

  • i thougt it look more like a megaman rip of, it could be megabatman

  • Contra Mega-Batman

  • batman for the sega genesis was awesome!

  • Did you know that Tim Burton originally had The Joker surviving, that's Gordan pulls out the laugh bag from The Joker's body, he wasn't meant to be dead.

  • so joker survived the 1st? i never got that laughing bag thing.

  • Yep, but since he never appeared again, he is considered dead. This is why Jack Nicholsen spent years trying to get another Joker sequel made.

  • It doesn't really play that similar to Contra, and it's pretty lame to suggest any run and gun game is a ripoff of Contra. Metal Slug? Ripoff. Gunstar Heroes? Ripoff. Turrican? Ripoff.

  • 5/10? then you'd put 4/10 to Mario Bros. 3. Your comments are not objective. This game plays nothing like Contra. It doesn't borrow from other games, like you suggesting from Megaman TMNT and R-Type, it simply is a varied game.

    If you are reviewing videogames try to be more objective. An acceptable critique is the fact that Batman doesn't ever use guns, and that some enemies and scenery are way too unrecognisable from the Batman universe.

  • constantly calling it contra batman got annoying. this is nothing like contra. it has jumping and shooting so what ? shall we say megaman contra 9 is coming out soon ? other than that a good review.

  • I Played this game on the SNES caled Super Batman Contra

  • bat man contra lol

  • Very pleasant review. and you really think the review through when you make it. I agree with the difficulty. im still playing it with no avail.

  • Loved this game back then :)

  • Did anyone notice that he was shooting the gun upgrade box and it changed what upgrade he got?

  • this game might be sux

    but the MUSIC R KIK ASS

  • Cant wait till AVGN does this one..

  • AVGN was gonna do a review on this game. I just wanted to know in advance what this game is about. good thing i did a little search and stumbled into this. KnightWing's reviews aren't that bad. he does a pretty good job actually

  • Well, me too.

    However.

    Batman is not supposed to be shooting people with a Mega Man gun or whatever this is.

    I am sure this is the Nerd will tell us about.

  • hey can you review batman vengeance for the ps2 GC and xbox? I like you reviews thet are very good

  • Great Mark Hamill laughing clips! Good review.

  • Really nice work man, I usually watch AVGN, and just that because all other reviews are boring, well not this one, pretty good comments and awesome review

  • That's just how it was in the 80's. If a game did very well and it was popular, people try copying that game's assets and slap a different title on it. While this doesn't seem too bad of a Batman game, I will always love the cartoon like at the very end.

  • wow......when I was like 9 give or take 21 years ago I thought this was one of the best games on the nes and looking back it still is... but what gets me is that you knock the game for being something like contra, there are a ton of games that copied game of games that are copies of games, the difference from Batman return of joker to contra or even megaman is like halo to doom or half life to call of duty. its a genre most games that fall into a type of genre USUALLY have the same concept.

  • wow i never knew that batman game ripped off contra.

    though yeah Contra is awesome.

  • SNES's Animated Series adaptation has to be one of the best Batman games to date. Penguin's museum level and the Riddler's Maze of the minotaur blew me away as a kid.

  • I made it! Neat huh?

  • yeah it's nice. what program though? final cut motion? photoshop? illustrator?

  • actuqally this game was planned to be released on the snes but it was cancelled.

  • Batman Contra... cool

  • ok, could everyone stop calling this contra? its a PLATFORM SHOOTER, Contra is not the only (or the best) platform shooter out there, and besides, Contra is 8 way and this is a 4 way (and usually just 2 way) shooter.

  • The Joker in the new movie is awesome!

  • Every second he was on was amazing. and that made every second he wasn't on boring as all hell..

    Heath did a great job, he definitely got my respect.

  • haha contra clone u so nailed it!

  • Subcribed for sure awesome review i soo agrre with the grafics for the nes SUPREME and the music kicked ass

  • Is your wife going to rant on how bad that game is and will you give a 0 out of 10 on it. The animated batman game is a "Shit load of Fuck." borrowed a quote from the AVGN.

  • The Genesis Batman and Robin was terrible, not the Super Nintendo ver. It and games like Batman Forever the Arcade game raised the Bar for Batman games.

  • Batman Forever the Arcade game a grate game? Are you nuts? You might want to explain that ASAP. It was a very bad rip off of final fight. It was so shitty its damn near sad. It makes babies cry.

  • Yeah it was a final FIght rip off. So was Batman Returns for Snes. But it was still a fun game. I loved the Sega Saturn one. It was fun.

  • No doubt that Batman Returns was great for the SNES. From there the rest sucked. But do your reveiw I will be waiting to rip it apart ok?

  • Batman return of the joker did make it to the snes only they changed the name into revenge of the joker.

  • They did make it. But it was never finished or released. If your playing it. Your playing a rom version of the game that is only 40% completed the textures are terrible & gameplay is just as bad, if not worse then Revenge on the genesis.

  • I agree this looks just like mega man!

  • It's not batman contra! It's Batman megaman. The joker fight is exactly the same as the Willy fight.

  • Being a Contra clone can't be a bad thing.

  • Great review as always, and the added...whatever that gun is...sound effects were sweet.

  • not much of a batman fan but id like to see batman in action on the big screen again tomorrow :)

  • Can't wait to see TDK tonight! Good review as always, KWing.

  • that scene where batman charges his shot just like in mega man is a TOTAL RIP OFF from the arcade game SUPERMAN by TAITO from 1988. you should have inserted a clip from that game into this review to show the similarities.

  • Sniff... Dark Knight doesn't come out until 25th over here, I really want to see Batman on the big screen again.

  • The return of the joker joker was a much better rendition of the joker than heath ledgers

  • I always like your reviews, keep em up!

  • heh, Batman Contra

  • if i had your voice, id be the man =0)

  • seriously knigtwing, U MAKE AWSUM REVIEWS!!

  • Kwing, you said one of the bad things about this game is that Batman isn't supposed to kill. But back then, that aspect of Batman still wasn't set into stone because his character has gone through a lot of development. Not only did the original Batman have him kill people with a gun, but also in the movie he killed people as well.

  • Batman only killed in the early 40s. He carried a side arm. Then used a machine gun on a plane one time. From the late 40s to today Batman doesn't kill. The only time Batman killed in the my life time was in both Tim Burton movies. Bob Kane wasn't happy that the Batman killed people in that movie. But Kane was happy to see a Batman movie made non the less. The fact Batman doesn't Kill has been an important part of who he is, for the last 50 yrs. But yes in the early 40s he did kill.

  • So that would be a fault of the movie and not a fault of the game. You said yourself that this is supposed to be a sequel of first NES Batman which was based off the movie.

    I agree that him not killing is is an important part of his character, but that doesn't mean all versions of him have to be the same. Take for example another important part of his character which is dark and serious. Adam West wasn't dark at all, and the show was comical, would that make him a bad Batman?

  • im gonna see dark knight...and is august zelda month?

  • he did do the dark tommrow review.

  • you said you were gona do dark tomorrow review.cheater!

  • ...He..did..
