  1. Do you have the Famicom platform import about a guy that uses the NES Batman’s weapons (kind of… a sword, a gun, and bombs) and, in the end, he battles a shadow version of himself before he fights a screen-filling Skeleton? I’ve been looking for that game for ages, and I played (and finished it) years ago.

  2. good informative review. i like it. :D

  3. 海腹川背 how nice select he did.
    i still don’t know the mean of this title name.
    new title of this series is popular under the influence of bugs.

  4. I know this is a lame joke already, but it just HAS to be done… Does this game has a GIANT ENEMY CRAB!?

  5. Actually you start with 11 lives not 10 lives.

    Also, if you could save then you wouldn’t have a reason to figure out how to use the techniques to bypass the levels very quickly, which I think is where the true fun is in my opinion.

  6. 渋い名作を選んでる、素晴らしい。

    aWSOME VIDEOS I GATTA CHECK OUT THIS GAME

  8. i like this game [opinion based on review]

  9. There’s a sequel? How does the game play differ? And if the company went out of business, how is there a sequel? If it is a good game, I wouldn’t mind seeing JW taking a look at it for us. Thanks for mentioning it for us jedahdoma!

  10. Great review of a very good game. I also enjoyed the sequel on the Playstation. Good to see this title getting some loving. Keep up the good work, it’s up to reviewers like us to show gaming goodness to others.

  11. just the fact that you reviewed this game makes you awesome
    subscribed :D
    I wish I could afford this game, but the only copy I could find on ebay was like 100 dollars :(

  12. your videos have a certain charm to them which i love, and the ending for this one was hilarious! XD

  13. Haha. Nice ending.

  14. It’s a great song by the Japanese group: Kome Kome Club. The song is: Funk Fujiyama. There’s a video her on YouTube if you’d like to check them out. They’re so very 80′s-90′s… but still great.

  15. Whats the song at the beginning during the “You Can Play This” title?

  16. Hehe its funny how you assume i live in the US :P any who if it did come out id most likely get it on DS number one because i find the PSP rather redundant not only that I don’t have one :P

  17. You are correct sir! The PSP version was SUPPOSED to come out a “Yumi’s Odd Odyssey”.

    The PSP I have heard is not that great, but the DS version appears to be coming along smoothly and promises to be a hit.

    Be sure to get it when it comes to the US!!!

  18. gamejew vs jewwario! :D

  19. this game looks bad ass and i saw its on the DS and PSP as well ^^

  20. Unfortunately, those two games are going to be hard for not only me to get but viewers.

    With “Magical Pop’n” ranging $170+ and “Jelly Boy 2″ being unreleased, they cannot be purchased.

    I have looked for places like “NES Reproductions” that do SNES carts, but I haven’t found one yet that you can name a game and have them make it.

    But if you find one, please please please let me know and I will give these two games a look-see.

    Thanks for the input.

  21. Excellent review, you have good taste in video games. This is a title I want in my collection for a while. If I can give you a suggestion, check out Magical Pop’n for the SFC or Jelly Boy 2 (unreleased).

  22. Excellent episode! Very interesting game. A shame it hasn’t been picked up for a Wii-release in the Virtual Console. I have no idea how I would begin to try to get this for myself. Would I need a Japanese console? And that gives me an idea for a future episode. Show what it takes to be able to play these imports that you review, either as standalone video, or as part of the ending rating sequence. Or both?

  23. You’re doing a great job. You are great on camera and are very informative. What I like best is that you identified a niche that wasn’t being filled…and went for it. You are now the only person on youtube doing this. And that’s AWESOME. I hope someone notices and picks you up.

  24. Haha. Were those your undies?

    I have nothing to add to this one. Kinda felt like I’ve heard this all before from you . . . since I have. ;)

    Cool vid and I’m stoked for episode tres.

  25. I’m using a G4 Mac (the old dome one) with ‘Final Cut Pro 5′ and ‘MPEG Streamclip’. For the video game, I’m using a Dazzle and my trusty SFAM. Lastly, my trusty Canon Mini DV ZR 800 camera.

    Parodius Da. Good choice. I think I can do that. Might even do that after the upcoming 1.3 (hopefully next week… maybe).

    Thanks for the comments, my friend.
