Wizards & Warriors 3 - part 1

[Vermilicious]

I loved the first game in the series, but haven't tried the sequels. This might be a good game, but it doesn't quite feel like Wizards & Warriors. Seems more like a generic platformer/rpg.

[ogdjjohnnyflashback]

the music to the first stage is a masterpiece thanks for the good memories

[ThePixelParadox]

Check out my channel for some Wizards and warriors 3 remixs and tell me what ya think.

[IgnemAeternum]

FINALLY i found the game i was looking for all those years. I forgot the name, how silly of me.

[0o0Bez0o0]

the hardest part of this game was to find it.... never been able to found one.... i miss it.... even the %?&* rom don't work!

[nintendoneil]

I tried to jump from the window sill up to the roof of my house and hurt myself.

[TuringTroll]

7:31 FAIL! :-)

[ibocos81]

I loved this game! It makes fun watching it again after a long time.

[xD0NKEYx]

The first boss was so cheap. Even now I find it harder than the final boss battle. When I was a kid, it took me honestly a few days of busting my brain how to beat him. Finally I realized you just had to get lucky and land in the right spot to kill him. I felt so pro... felt like I was exploiting the game when really, it was the only way to do it... unless there is a better way?

D:

[Danne550]

3:52 that music... it kind of wakes up a memory that I lost or something. Its like I remember it, but its not really "there".

[baigandine]

A town layout only Kuros, or Mario, could appreciate.

[robertsfunny1995]

Is W&W3 as good as W&W1?

[xD0NKEYx]

@robertsfunny1995

IMO 3 > 1, ... W&W1 still had it's fun pieces but it feels not as good compared to #3. I still enjoy it but only because I played it first. :)

[robertsfunny1995]

@xD0NKEYx I just wish they would upload it to the shop channel already...

[robotxhouse]

Even though W&W III was by Acclaim and Battletoads was Tradewest and Rare I am convinced the same guy did the music.

[mpontheair2]

@robotxhouse They all were done by Rare's music composer, David Wise. Rare developed Battletoads, R.C. Pro-Am, and W&W 1, and while they did not do much for Ironsword or W&W 3 (Ste Pickford/Zippo Games developed those games along with Solar Jetman, though Rare still remained in charge of development and had the rights for the games), Wise still composed all the music for those games.

[sawtoothscrambler]

Love this game. It's actually the first of the three that I played, and I like it best, by far.

For one thing you don't have those pesky critters flying in your face every second.

And that last moving platform before the levitation is sick fun.

[xKing5991x]

i fuckin hope this game cums out on the wii for download or sumtin cause i hav it on the nes but the effort of settin it up :L seriously though i hope they remake it r sumtin

[sale121]

I still can't believe that I managed to finish this game as 10-year old. It was pretty hard.

I wonder how many of today's kids would be patient (and smart) enough to finish it. My guess is - not too many.

[six80ususus]

@sale121 Yeah seriously, it was fn tuff this one

[six80ususus]

@sale121 You know games today look really cool, great graphics, but they seem to very shallow.

[IsThisSumBattleToads]

The Wizards & Warriors trilogy/(series) is one of the most under-rated of all time...

All three NES games (and even the Gameboy game) were incredible. I recently completed the third one and found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable experience, even in the 21st century.

[indigo1384]

@IsThisSumBattleToads theres a reason you enjoyed playing it so much. Back then games were made to be fun and entertaining not just "SUPER AWESOME AND CUTTING EDGE!!!" It's a dead art form making games that can capture that fun the 80's and 90's did.

[coolbluelights]

mega64 should do the wizards and warriors series, dress up in a knight costume and jump around lol

[unothisshit2010]

my first computer game ever.tough game got 2 the last level a few times but never beat it. no save games either

[IcyBikez]

first one was by far the best

[TommyCurrell]

Wow I must have been a skilled gamer as a kid because this looks hard! I managed to clock it once. It never occured to me then how ridiculous the bouncy knight is =D love the music

[gskaloyan]

Wait wait... So you're telling me, Kuros, the most powerful warrior in the land, who weilds the IRONSWORD, has to pass a test to be in a warrior guild? He should be running that if anything.

[staphinfection]

The idea of multiple classes was a great idea for it's time. But I too am a fan of the 1st game more than this one.

[ZenMusicProductions]

man this game was ass compared to the first two...

[fezan84]

I could never get into this game -- it's fun to watch though =]

Loved the other W&Ws and played them for ridiculous amounts of time.

[FlipYak]

ahhh....i like the first wizards and warriors alot better

[gaffelnskje]

this isnt a bad game:) i think it is fun hehe...

also the music is decent :D

[ScrapChild1979]

What a rediculous world these people live in...

[trtomkitinholloywood]

You make this HARD game look easy

[tortoise245]

2:31 LMAO!!!! @ knife guy!! That dude must have crazy skills if he can knock a guy in a suit of armor on his ass with a knife without even trying...!! "...Take that, b*tch...you want another..? There ya go..."

[subie22]

i love the music from this game :D

[alex77724]

is it me or that game makes no sense

[Kainthemain]

well it does. apparently when you kill a thoev he shrinks and becomes a statue. Of course!

[alex77724]

ok but what do you mean when you say it does

[Kainthemain]

i mean this is a 8 bit nintendo game. Its not supposed to make sense. An italian smashing mushrooms became one og the best selling games on the nintendo. Did it make sense,no was it fun, hell yeah!

[Delirium619]

i love how the best attack strategy is to stab them repeatedly in the groin

[ufo5440]

you can buy gossip?! lol

[TheGhostlord]

Must be annoying to live in a town where anyone can buy a key to your house for a few gold, lmao.

[kessu212]

I have actually the original game no emulators :D

[gaffelnskje]

this is kind of a strange game hehe.. but i dunno why, but it is kindof fun ;D

the music is also good : )

[jwmsalvatrucho]

I love this game, never could kill the last boss

[MushroomBoy64]

This is a must for the Wii's Virtual Console.

[SAIKOREB0N]

i could tell at 2:32 you were getting pissed off LOL

[groovyjaxx]

this is the only one of the 3 W&W i managed to complete :P

[phubans]

Ugh, I enjoyed the original W&W but the series seemed to go downhill with each installment. This one never looked interesting enough for me to play.

Although I find it interesting that the citizens of that town have to jump from rooftop to rooftop to get around. lol

[Vislav]

Greatest video game music ever. I was so addicted to it when i was playing this game.

How can i get the music from this game in mp3 format?

[Captnuendo]

This music sucks!!!!

[Jiggacake]

lol this seems like a nes version of elder scrolls. "Would you like to join theives guild?"

[mrobs88]

best game of all time and i'm a 360 fanboy. Couldn't quit playing it until i beat it. When i finally did (10 hours of constant gameplay), i had to do it again. The second time it only took 3 hours but one thing you do not want to do is tap A at the end really fast like i did and join him. (spoiler) he will kill you instantly and you lose the game. I love this game!!

[PeanutButterGoodness]

Man I loved this game. But I could never get the third wizard's statue! I'd always kill the floating green orb thing, go down into the lower caves, and get stuck there forever. I once found the statue, but I had forgotten where the trial was and couldn't find it for the life of me. Those caves are confusing!

[MaximumPayne12]

This was one of my favorite NES games and also one of the most frustrating. I can remember getting all confused not knowing what anything was suppose to do like the blue armor, the thief thing... i remember before completing the half of a certain stage i was already in a huge new one, like a... castle in the very sky? but just like Bastiest says, i also love all that stuff and despite i never got too far on this game, i consider it one of the best ive ever played.

[Stino7777777]

Hey man totally agree. I remember I've rented this game A LOT of times when I was young.. it was awesome even though I never came close to actually completing something

[worshiptim]

those wizard levels where so frustrating ...

loved this game!

[Bastiest]

Heh, I have this game for my NES console.

Gotta admit that this game is really great and has right kind of fantasy like feel in it. I just like the idea of jumping in a town that reaches skies and such stuff.

How ever, I haven't managed to beat the game itself yet which why I don't want to spoil the whole thing by watching this walkthrough.

[artman40]

2:12 Seems that knight's armour is so flexible that it allows you to squeeze through miniature doors!

[Zapa4TW]

vizions of POWAAH

[guitarninja83]

Awesome, I played the first 2 like a crack addict. By the looks of it I almost think I played this once, but its so similar im most likely wrong. I wish I would of owned this one. My favorite NES games next to the Zelda series.

[captaintokyo]

TOTALLY! I played the 2nd one like a crack addict as well. I think I could play this gay blindfolded!

[SwordfighterRed]

I must say, I enjoy seeing the town's construction and how its people travel within the town limits.

It's kinda funny.

[artman40]

Well, one of the few games with that town and level design which actually attempts to explain it!

[Darkvalkerie]

I honestly didnt like Wizard & warrios 3, Part 1 and Expecially 2 were the best in my opinion. part 3 seemed too different or sorta like Zelda 2 style or something. didnt like it, didnt finish it.

[ShikibuSan]

Oh my god. This brought back so many memories.

I remember playing this on my NES when I was little.. but I forgot the name when we got rid of the system and games.

The opening music joggedmy memory. Wow.

[kodiaik]

the music is great in this game

[fredpunk123]

the music is great in this game, the music in digger t rock is deadly as well. you should check it out. this game and digger were my favourite game music. i also like the music off lolo2 but its the same in every level, it does get repetitive, but its still cool :)

[Zolrak666]

I loved this game. Thanks for posting this.

[zemsta]

Not a fan of the game but i do like the music in certain segments, thanks .

[Vislav]

The music in this game is amazing.

[ShikibuSan]

I could never figure out how to beat any bosses. I was, like, 5 when I played this. XD
