Same here. So relaxing, right? Mash-mash-mash-aaaaaaaaand-klunk. I've found myself saying this out loud lately, doing home improvements. Makes me laugh :-) Thanks Arcus! You rock!
Over 20,000 attempts. It's amazing how some people have the patience and will to do these sorts of things. Good on ya for reaching a tough, tough goal.
Totally agree. The way the graphics are made in this game should be taught in Art Schools!! They mastered pixel art and the result is that the game doesn't age and looks above the 8 bit technology where it was made.
I was unable to go further the third stage back in my kid time, and you beated this game in 10 mins wow, this is actually one. Of the hardest games in NES.
Watched that Summoning Salt video, and as soon as it cut to you with the hat and stache I realized I stumbled on you running Batman at some point; had no idea you ran NG. Really glad to see you got the sub-10!
Woot! Heck of a run there, Mr. Arcus! Might chop another second off if you can dodge that liitle jump blip early on there. Loved watching you improve over time to the level you are at now!
This game and music brings me back, I remember finally beating it, I was probably around 14 or 15 years old, this one and faxanadu are 2 of my favorites, have you ever tried speed running faxanadu?
![[Former WR] Batman: Arkham City Speedrun (NG+) in 15:16](/img/1.gif)
I didn’t fully appreciate this game as a kid. Being about 10 when it came out. The music, controls, art style.... it really is a great nes classic.
the sound and graphics are way ahead of its time , truly a classic
I don't know why, but watching you run this and Ninja Gaiden just makes me happy. GG!
Also the original Zelda

@@harryhalfmoon I've even got people that aren't in to gaming anymore but remember what Arcus runs watching him. It's always a good bzzzt
I really like how smooth and calm you are Arcus.
Always a pleasure watching your speedrun and playthroughs
One of my favorites NES games, an all time classic, played flawlessly. Amazing. Hats off to the man with the cowboy hat!
i don't know why i keep getting this stoic caballero's videos in my recommendations but i'm glad i do
The music score of this and Journey To Silius are mindblowing!
I've never heard a more aggressive "klunk" come from Arcus before. Good job and keep it up my dude! Congrats!!
10:06 "I did it!"
Yes you did. It's nice that you often say we there when hitting PBs and such but it's all you.
I love seeing games like this, that I really struggled with, get completely manhandled with ease. It's like a form of vicarious vengeance.
Over 20,000 attempts. It's amazing how some people have the patience and will to do these sorts of things. Good on ya for reaching a tough, tough goal.
Staggering how optimized this game is. Truly amazing.
The graphics were amazing at the time, makes many SNES games pale in comparison.
Totally agree. The way the graphics are made in this game should be taught in Art Schools!! They mastered pixel art and the result is that the game doesn't age and looks above the 8 bit technology where it was made.
You ever play Batman (NES) in the pale moonllight?
@@srujan00 underrated comment haha
This game and the Return of the Joker has one of the best graphics on the NES. It really shows what the system was capable of.
I don't know if I'd say that.
I played this game way too much when I was a kid. One of the best NES games I ever played.
Congratz on the sub 10 :-) the speedrun of this game is brutal and you are one of the few guys who can pull sub 10 :)

Great job, Arcus! I know you've been working on this for some time now. Congrats on your work paying off!
I think that was the happiest I've ever seen you.
you should watch the run (zelda maybe?) where he PBs and starts hyperventilating with joy
Must respect these guys, who can beat this game in under 10min.
Argus is the Bob Ross of speedrunning with the happy little punch punches.
The twin floating boxes, my favorite members of batman's rogue gallery.
This is a great game, love the run.
Great job, my man! So enjoyable to watch you sma-sma-smash this game.
"Let's see some ammo drops.... yeeeeah."
Woot! Heck of a run there, Mr. Arcus! Might chop another second off if you can dodge that liitle jump blip early on there. Loved watching you improve over time to the level you are at now!
Cook: How do you like your potatoes?
Arcus: Mash, mash, mash!
This game and music brings me back, I remember finally beating it, I was probably around 14 or 15 years old, this one and faxanadu are 2 of my favorites, have you ever tried speed running faxanadu?
The satisfaction at the end. Well done lad
Outstanding work. A second big grind and over 20k attempts, but ya got it. Congrats!
I could never fight both Firebug and the Joker the way you did it. Props!
Man, when you realized you were on a sub 10 pace right before the last boss you could hear your pulse quicken. Congrats man!
I really want you to get wr on this one. Love watching you play it
Great run. You’re a legend.
One dislike. I'm guessing it's from the Joker.
You’re a beast Arcus, for shizzle.
The depth of the gameplay at that time, plus the music, made it a classic. And...... clunk.
This is incredible. Amazing run.
This was the first game I played when I was 5 or 6 years old 💓 this game will be always in my heart
GG Arcus.Getting close to wr!
I couldn't beat this game to save my life as a kid and now people run it in less time than it takes to cook a pizza.
The way you beat every single of the bosses. Just wow! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Greatest moo I've ever heard! (and I've lived near cows) Great job on the grind, you deserved a the huge PB.
You got it! Congratulations Arcus!
Bro. It took me all day to beat this game when I was a kid and that was after a LOT of playthroughs. And this guy beats the game in less than 10 min?
I am sure he spent days to get that good
I feel that a lot of these Batman assets could have been used to create another quality castlevania
Congrats on sub 10,really impressive!
Funny how Joker is called one of the toughest bosses ever and he's just annihlated here with punches lmao.
DAMN !!! Have you mastered every NES Game?
Anyone watching this who's never played it? It's such a hard game! The cowboy just makes it look easy!!
I loved and hated this game as a kid. That climb part with the gears was the worst. He makes it look so easy.
I’m so glad we have the same Batman song for level 2
Congratulations arcus
Very nice... I love that your sum of best is equal to the WR. It is possible
If I'm not mistaken, the WR actually can be beaten by around 4 seconds. I think it shows that on Endy's sum of best
King of nes games
This is Amazing! Thanks for this! Congratulations!
annnnnnnnd clunk.
So close my friend, so close, and yet, so amazing!
My favourite NES game
congrats arcus!
Damn sir, you are amazing. Congrats on all the hard work to get there.
You got it! Congratulations!
GG, does Batman have to crouch Everytime he jumps? Or is that a speedrun thing?
Huge run arcus gg
SMASH SMASH SMASH AND..... CLUNK!
Im gona miss Batman now... GG, very deserved!!!
Enjoyed the run! 🤠
Bro that was insane. I couldn’t do that if my life depended on it
How do you kill the first boss so easy with batarangs you hit him like three times.can you do a vid on technique of the runs please
Well done...also, Sunsoft did such a masterpiece with this game. Probably was well founded financially for a Hollywood level product.
How do you not take damage when fighting The Joker?
Awesome run. Truly enjoyable to watch a master at work. Also just a note, 10 people dislike this.
Damn your a beast i want more games 😋
Closing in on that WR
Yo, sub-10 in Batman. Congrats man!
Love your Speedruns dude! Are you from Texas?
Edit: Ah I‘ve seen your Twitch Page. Arizona 😃
That was awesome!
I always thought this was a weird game. Joker is 7 feet tall and shoot lightning. He hired rejects from ninja Gaiden also.
Who is holding the world record for this?
Edit: i didnt notice. Its shown in bottom left corner.
Whoah, getting close to that WR!
i love nappin to your videos!
6:16 Nice ost. Would fit well in a Megaman boss battle.
Anybody notice the frame rate is a little fast?
Giddy up!
Great run!!
Congrats on getting under 10 minutes! This game is pretty hard for normies like me. Have you ever done or thought about speedrunning Battletoads?
Well done sir.
I want to make that victory moo my ringtone
batman, batman, batman
punch punch, punch punch, punch punch
bat batman
Congrats!
Congrats for the PB! loved the victory moo! I am BD on twitch. 🤗
Nostalgia is a cheap whore, to whom you can always return; but damn this brings me back!
You are awesome!
congratulations on the sub 10 Arcus! What's the next grind gonna be sir? :)
i will refer to Arcus as Mr Clunkman from now on. "Clunk" must be his Favorite word
now that was a CLUNK
Nice! And i Love your cat!!
GG, Arcus
You did it
You’re very good!
That was a good victory moo
Heman looks like he is doing something I was doing earlier
Banging a dude?
