i'm so glad ur not using the warps... I haven't had a NES for 7 yrs, and miss this game terribly! my brothers and I would spend hours upon hours perfecting this game. LOL
The farthest I could get was to the Turbo Tunnel and that would be all she wrote for me because it's a pain in the ass and I just couldn't do it as a kid.
WOW! I remember this fucking game from back in the day; took me forever to beat this fucker.. I got grounded a couple of times for screaming at the TV
Oh my god!! :D I used to play this game when I was like 6 with a good friend of mine!!! So much fun :D:D, was never able to finish it thoguh :S, so difficult!
the second level me and my friend use to just BASH the crows around and get 1UPS ALL THE TIME. I used to PAUSE THE GAME JUST TO HEAR THE BEAT CRAZY RIGHT:)
I still have a nes in working order and I'm looking for a game I borrowed many years ago,I was pretty sure it was Battletoads but this isn't it.I think it might have been "something" vs Battletoads maybe?I know you could play in 2 player mode and you travelled up in elevators.I've googled it but no luck,anyone have any ideas?Or have I lost it?!Thanks
it might be battletoads and double dragon for NES(NOT SNES). its a rare game to find and was better/smoother than the sega and SNES version. go for the original version
i fucking hated those robots. i threw my controller as a pissed of 8 year old plenty of times. the only one that can compete with this level of difficulty is kid icarus.
all the technology we have today and there still isnt a game harder than battletoads...actually mushihime-futari might be harder. i past stage 1 of battletoads but would never beat stage one of that game.
the new games suck....I always considered NES games to be amongst the most challenging (megaman series anyone?!) if not impossible (too many to mention). However as frustrating as some of the games are I still consider NES the funnest system ever only second to SNES. Maybe the new games are so easy to compensate for how stupid kids are these days. Their too dumb for problem solving thanks to the "education" system and the motorskills are compromised from all that ritalin.
yea something about nintendo just cant b beat. imeen even the process of getting the games to work brings back memories. lol my bros and i all had different tech. to get the game started and took turns lol
Come on. Not all of the new games suck, just the vast majority of them. There are still some game developers that use creativity to make a good game, rather than just innovative technology. Have you played Braid. It maybe 2D, but it says a lot for what gaming could potentially be. Bioshock and Portal are really fun as well. They are both pretty original games, and enjoyable not because of their difficulty, but because of the overall experience.
i could imagine them bringing this to XBLA and the achievements would be a BITCH to get lol. shit all they need is 2 and that would be 1. complete ALL levels using no warps and 2. finish a co-op game offline or online.
Ah, the Wookie Hole. I think my brother deliberately killed me more in that level than in any other. He liked to cut my line with that bird's beak. Oh, the joys of childhood!
so true. but hey, even though everyone cares about cod and halo alot of classic games are still palyed (dune 2 total annihilation, zelda, metroid, mario, metal gear)
after seeing ur playthrough i had no idea that i ran out of lives when i was literally a couple floors below the final boss. i think i did this when i was in the 4th grade lol. this game is the only game i was never able to beat :(
Wow you are an awesome player. I remember back in the day, I usually was capable of reaching mid-game. The late levels are not really difficult, so once I almost finished the game! There was like 2 stages left but I died. I never finished it.
@shincyriades In order to considerer yourself a GAMER, before you must finish this awesome game!!. You rocks bro, I still remember all the hours that i spend whit my Battletoads copy, and thats the way to beat it!!!!!!
as i know there is another earlier game for game boy. (is that because the conversion for game boy of this game is called "in ragnarok world" and not just battletoads"
You can ride the dragons at 2:57 =P. I remember when this game launched. Toughest damn game I have ever played. Beating this game gave me a sense of accomplishment that I haven't had in a game. Was fun AFTER I beat it lol. Not so much before...
This is so awesome! You captured the music and the "dialogue" and everything. I loved this game so much, I wanted to hold onto my NES just for this. I never did win...I think I had gotten to level nine.
To quote the demotivational poster: Infinite Win of Awesome.
Battletoads is TOO hardcore for YOU! (points at random guy who never got past a certain level- I.E. gaming mortals and lesser demigods.), but ya gotta admit, this game rocked- and everyone knew it!
To this day I have not made it past the go kart part! Granted I am not a big video game player... Still haven't gotten past the ice temple in Ocarina of time neither
I gotta say, watching that level 2 part makes me question why I used the warps when I beat this game. Maybe getting the lives would've been the way to go. Good work
I used to play this with my brother, but when you get to use the legs of that robot as a weapon, my brother and I would always just end up whacking and killing each other. Good times, lol
Out of all the NES games I've played, this is the only one that hinders my ascension to greatness. I can't past that damn Clinger Winger stage. Damn Orb!
My all time favorite action game. I'm the only person I know who could beat it. Then again, I only knew one other person who had it, and he couldn't get past the speeder bikes.
The underwater level was a nightmare. For the longest time I'd run out of continues on that level. Caused many tantrums. Being able to rack up loads of 1ups on level 2 definitely helped.
This game is a classic, I remember as a kid I could only make it to the turbo tunnel and then I would get owned by the turbo cycle sequence. That was when games required an an insane level of skill.
Yeah this game was hard as shit. I thought i was the only one who couldn't beat it. I had to use Game Genie, remember that, to skip to the last level.
This game is fun. I have to say. I first played the Arcade version at a local pool about 3 years ago(yeah luckly i found i was like Battletoads? Arcade??? HOLY SHIT!!!) now i recently found out an NES version i managed to find it hosted in a website.
Hey, did you hear about the Battletoads anime before? That's right, there's an anime of the classic game Battletoads, but 4Kids won't do the dub to it. What I want you to do is to say 4Kids on their youtube channel (4KidsUSA) that they suck for not doing the dub and/or spam their channel.
Oh, and ladies and gentlemen, this clip comprises the entirety of the non-ridiculous part of this game. It's all downhill from here. You'll see what I mean shortly.
It was quite a shock for me when I rented this all those years ago. Did fine for 2 1/2 levels, and then...doom. (This is one of those games where unlimited continues would not have helped in the slightest.)
As I remember, this is one of those games that got vastly greater accolades years after its release than I ever remember it getting during the actual NES era. How this ever got held up as an example of a typical NES game, I don't understand...in my experience, the likes of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out and Rush 'n Attack were far more common; not really hard until near the end and eminently beatable.
Anyway, thanks for the complete run. Always cool to watch, regardless of circumstances.
You and DT rock so hard for this! I never got to see the ending for this game. Shit, I never even got past the level you warp to from the speed bike level (not to mention never beat level 3 period). In fact, the ONLY Battletoads game I ever beat was the GB version.
Sad, I know. but thanks to guys like you, I finally get to see how some of my favorite games I never finished were beaten.
Thanks for your kind words! Daniel and I continue trying to bring cool games and strategies to youtube - just wait til you see what we're cooking up now ;)
I'm glad that you appreciate this play through, DarkSyde24 :). I am sure that you could finish this game if you gave it your all. It is very beatable, but takes practice like anything.
Umm, not that it's part of the subject but DTysonator, have you played the "final" Battletoads game for the arcade by any chance. Cuz, in my opinion that's the best game of the series!
Sure have, GameDude2, and I agree with you, the arcade game seems like the definitive Battletoads game.
It's mostly a beat 'em up, but there are also some different levels from what I remember.
My only problem with the game is that the toads never truly do battle with the Dark Queen. She taunts them between levels at times, but that is about it unfortunately.
Well, the unique thing from the arcade game is the increase level of violence, making it the gruesome game in the series, not to mention they remove the original score count in favor of tally for kills. It's also the only game that features voices. The bosses are insane too. But yea, I'm not happy that Dark Queen isn't the final boss, but hey. At least it's Robo-Manus again.
You mean Karnath the snake? Yeah but I like Robo-Manus's new look in the arcade. I mean he's a giant like most final bosses and he looks more menacing! Now, Big Blag. I can't describe it.
i'm so glad ur not using the warps... I haven't had a NES for 7 yrs, and miss this game terribly! my brothers and I would spend hours upon hours perfecting this game. LOL

Hey, did you hear about the Battletoads anime before? That's right, there's an anime of the classic game Battletoads, but 4Kids won't do the dub to it. What I want you to do is to say 4Kids on their youtube channel (4KidsUSA) that they suck for not doing the dub and/or spam their channel.

Are you talking about the lone episode of Battletoads, LolBattletoads?
I have seen it before and found it to be enjoyable in some ways, especially the cheesy Beach Boys wannabe theme song :).

Oh, and ladies and gentlemen, this clip comprises the entirety of the non-ridiculous part of this game. It's all downhill from here. You'll see what I mean shortly.
It was quite a shock for me when I rented this all those years ago. Did fine for 2 1/2 levels, and then...doom. (This is one of those games where unlimited continues would not have helped in the slightest.)

As I remember, this is one of those games that got vastly greater accolades years after its release than I ever remember it getting during the actual NES era. How this ever got held up as an example of a typical NES game, I don't understand...in my experience, the likes of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out and Rush 'n Attack were far more common; not really hard until near the end and eminently beatable.
Anyway, thanks for the complete run. Always cool to watch, regardless of circumstances.

You and DT rock so hard for this! I never got to see the ending for this game. Shit, I never even got past the level you warp to from the speed bike level (not to mention never beat level 3 period). In fact, the ONLY Battletoads game I ever beat was the GB version.
Sad, I know. but thanks to guys like you, I finally get to see how some of my favorite games I never finished were beaten.

I'm glad that you appreciate this play through, DarkSyde24 :). I am sure that you could finish this game if you gave it your all. It is very beatable, but takes practice like anything.

Hmm, I like this playthrough. One day I'm actually going to make a Battletoads fan-made. But it sure takes a lot of skills to beat Battletoads.

Sweet, I look forward to seeing your fan-made Battletoads project, GameDude 2, you can do it! :)
Battletoads is definitely challenging and if memorization counts as a skill, than yes it does require a lot of "skill" to beat this game.
There isn't much skill involved otherwise, except for quick reflexes, since Battletoads is basically a trial and error game from start to finish.

Umm, not that it's part of the subject but DTysonator, have you played the "final" Battletoads game for the arcade by any chance. Cuz, in my opinion that's the best game of the series!
GameDude2 3 years ago
Sure have, GameDude2, and I agree with you, the arcade game seems like the definitive Battletoads game.
It's mostly a beat 'em up, but there are also some different levels from what I remember.
My only problem with the game is that the toads never truly do battle with the Dark Queen. She taunts them between levels at times, but that is about it unfortunately.

Well, the unique thing from the arcade game is the increase level of violence, making it the gruesome game in the series, not to mention they remove the original score count in favor of tally for kills. It's also the only game that features voices. The bosses are insane too. But yea, I'm not happy that Dark Queen isn't the final boss, but hey. At least it's Robo-Manus again.
GameDude2 3 years ago
Yeah, the violence is indeed pretty graphic in the arcade game, but it works.
Thw boss battle with the giant snake stands out the most in my mind, but the battle vs. Robo Manus is also pretty cool as you mentioned.
DTysonator 3 years ago
You mean Karnath the snake? Yeah but I like Robo-Manus's new look in the arcade. I mean he's a giant like most final bosses and he looks more menacing! Now, Big Blag. I can't describe it.
