everyone says that this game is a contra ripoff

but i think it's megaman ripoff. even the scrolling effect between rooms are fucking same!

@whaowman

I really don't think this game qualifies as a Mega Man or Contra rip-off. Sure you shoot stuff, but that's about it. Similar room scrolling effects can be expected across NES games because of the inherent limitations of the NES. There's also bound to be similarities across general platforming shooters. There really isn't anything THAT similar though that pegs this as a rip-off of either. Check out the Krion Conquest to see a game that's actually very guilty of ripping off Mega Man. :)

@explod2A03 what about the music? boss theme is exactly like crashman's theme.

@whaowman

There's a remotely brief coincidence in one progression, but that's about it. Listen closely to the two songs again. I should add that I'm not just saying these things to needlessly defend this game, but the general compositional style and sound production is distinct from Mega Man. I'd be eager to point out similarities if they were really there, like Mighty Final Fight to MM6.

I understand how AVGN heard a similar progression, moments of songs remind me of other songs all the time.

Who can say: Do you know that batman has a NES game? And it was very good? And it has a great soundtrack?

"You can even make Batman dance to the music!"

@Brownpride480 I'm here because of 0:15

[Brownpride480]

Joker:"OH do the bat dance!"

[Brownpride480]

It's funny how most people are in here because of AVGN. Don't get me wrong, that episode of AVGN with Batman and Joker was Hilarious but is that the only reason why most of you guys are watching this video.

That DPCM slap bass

[19Vexthehedgehog91]

Thumbs up if you do the bat dance when you hear this song

[Doommaster1994]

AVGN: That's not fair!

Joker: Boo-hoo! It's SO unfair!

Kick ass music.

Come on you motherfucker! DAMN!!

@DocterEggman I agree. It is NO WONDER why I am not a fan of Nintendo and their own games (Except Metroid). But the Japanese made 3rd party games on the NES (such as this game) are the only ones I like.
