Tale Spin NES Review/Walkthrough Pt. 1 of 2

[onashinyday]

You know what's really sick? Every time I'm listening to Jethro Tull I think about your game reviews. Well played, Sir.

[Awesome1601]

They called it Tale Spin? Lol you don't want to know how they called it in Germany. It's so fucking different. Well great review

[pornokrat]

@Awesome1601 you mean Baloo und seine ... (I forget) Crew?

[Awesome1601]

@pornokrat Ballo und seine tollkühne Crew. What a fucked up name

[pornokrat]

@Awesome1601 Baloo and his daring crew. And song is fucked up too: "Oh yeah Ballo, oh yo Baloo! Firze und Freunde sind baloo und seine Crew" is for "Baloo and his Crew are pals and friends" and so on. Terrible translation but German variants of Disney songs are often such like that.

[PornyPonyProductions]

@pornokrat it's not about translating something directly word by word ... it is more about finding fitting words that capture the zeitgeist of the country it is translated for--well the ducktales theme was not translated that good - it mentions pluto and goofy though theese characters never appeared in the show but then in the actual series there are some real good jokes that aren't in the original.So sometimes it's better if the translations go their own way-if the translator knows what he does

[MisterWho0]

I just found another bonus thingy in the base ball level, right as you are re-emerging from below, shoot below the one rock ledge/shelf thing and bingo.

[tiochelayo]

booomboooom bom booom booom booom booom balúuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[sharkness7]

Fella sounds like Patrick Bateman.

[mlwy45]

why is it that as a kid you can beat old games like this, but as an adult you fail...hmm....

[illinifan512]

These Disney afternoon games were the best!

[KollisionBR]

Wow I didn't know this was a shmup!

Nice review BTW

[shadow4126]

I remember passing this game. that's pretty much all I remember...and the ghost house theme song. That too.

[rot105and]

omg i just tried this on emulator and all i thought is wtf ,how on earth did i manage to finish it back then.it seems impossible now

[prrrrecious]

"I always hated that bitch" HAHAHAHA i was dying from that

[stonythegreat]

Baloo should have bitch slapped her.

[p6mkq]

One of the hardest games,never made it through storm level...

not on gameboy anyway...

I remember the episode where he was racing with a robot pilot.

[prrrrecious]

@p6mkq oh yea the auto aviator

[NeonTrees1983]

@p6mkq how fun and playable was the game boy version ?

[KevinWoodY6969]

wow i loved this show

[jtomally9681]

Good lord, man. You must not have like the show very much as a kid since you are really insulting the characters. Tailspin was the bomb along with Rescue Rangers, Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck and Goof Troop.

[Angsc09]

The Baseball Stadium represent in Mega Man 10 also knowns as Strike Man Stage and also that is even bigger than this.

[powerpup97]

Yeah, that's something you forgot. There are 2 bonus levels on every stage. You didn't point them all out.

Also, you can decline a purchase from Wildcat if you press the B button.

[SKIBBEra]

Like powerpup97 said you forgot some bonus levels, there are 2 on every stage.

and i always go for the second rapidfire directly, so at the hunted house level i have the 4 shot rapid fire, meaning i dont spend any money before that just to get the 4 burst, the games gets much easier then i think but tought start for some just plating with the one shoot fire

[GansitoGoloso]

Bitchy rebecca cuningham XD Lol

But the show DID had many many antagonists besides pirates. In lets say 15 episodes 5 are with pirates.

The alligators with the spears are not for variety, they are from that truffle episode n_n

[bosnia91]

the flying in this game reminds me of super mario land.

[vozERi]

Oh my god this is SO old-school. Remember playin this when I was like uhm.. 7? Now I'm almost 20

[cuervogold247]

Good call, Jprime.

[InvaderPet]

5:16 I always liked Rebecca! She was cute! But yeah, she was bitchy.

[DANATANLOVER]

Rebecca's a babe.

[dorourke105]

@DANATANLOVER She's still a bitch to Baloo

[theexplodedrage]

i almost dont remember the cartoon but i know that i watched it.i tried to play the game some time ago and i have no idea how the hell i managed to finish it when i was a kid

[luigi250]

You actually are able to not buy an item from the shop. You do so by pressing B or START when Wildcat says "OKAY?".

[MapleAwesome12]

at 7:06 do not forget that these are chipmunks, so the baseball is obviously gonna be larger than him

[MapleAwesome12]

6:56 xD

[Jprime777]

Baloo is a bear, not a chipmunk. And obviously that makes the baseball big

[powerpup97]

You forgot about a couple other bonus levels.

[ayoungcapone]

I fucking hated this game. Tale Spin and Mike Tyson's Punch Out were the only NES games I couldn't beat. >:(

[jgrajeda0585]

Aqualung > AVGN

[goreds03]

how is he a AVGN RIPOFF

[sparklyyy]

I'm at a loss for words. Brilliant, just brilliant.

[stephensamperi]

wow, i remember this show...now that i think about it, it doesnt make any sense that baloo and sher kahn became civilized business men.......wtf?? good vid

[DJSkyes]

wow i miss this game! loved the TV show when i was a kid...not so much the game, but nostalgic nevertheless. hilarious review! haha!

[EdmacZ]

Aqua, you never cease to amaze me. So glad I subscribed.

[BalooDumptruck]

loved this show and the air pirates, though don poping up was a bold ass move from him

[gaoutlaw]

"..the bitchy Rebecca Cunningham"

LoL

[JonnyFlash80]

I loved this game as a kid. Great review.

[shibbyguy101]

Aqualung is the shit. You're my favorite game reviewer on the 'net. Respect.

[Alianger]

I think that boss tune is from mega man, and they also recycled some MM sound effects. I never liked how they put simple power ups like rapid shot in the shop, could've taken some queues from fantasy zone and put some interesting weapons in there like bombs and missiles. Not a bad game overall but probably the worst of the konami disney games.

[Alianger]

*capcom made disney games :)

[CriQYodaAVGNandIG]

still waiting for megaman 4 waltrough

[GodOfRandomness15]

He just did the Megaman 3 walkthrough a little bit ago. He's trying to do others before more megaman ones. Just be patience.

[reanimatorX]

wait a sec... why do you have to "watch out for anti-aircraft fire" in a baseball stadium?

I don't think baseballs would do anything to a plane...

[HomeVideoPresents]

awesome walkthru.

[expotemkin]

That sound around 8:57 sounds like the jumping noise from the Double Dragon series.

[CriQYodaAVGNandIG]

i had this game , sometimes worked sometimes not , i finished everytime when i played it

[AmbulanceProductions]

Nice I had this game as a kid but never got around to beating it. Maybe on my day off I'll use this to finish it!

[cwk12782]

I like how you included pics from the original cartoon. Very nice.

[Qkeygrad]

3:20 Actually, you CAN cancel your purchase by pressing "B" instead od "A" when he asks "OK?".

Oh, and great Revthrough as always

[Noyjeetut]

Loved Tailspin and enjoyed the game, glad your sharing it with the world.

[Gum2Gum]

i love the nes walk through.

[starsoldier1]

Good walkthrough although this was one of my least favourite Nes/Disney games out there.
