Thank you so much Arcus. I have to feed my daughter for 20-30 minutes ever 2-3 hours every day for the next 2-3 months. These videos really help me get thru when it’s tough and I’m not able to keep my eyes open. Thanks for what you do man!
Batman was such a great game for the time. Great sound track with really good game play. Was one of the few games I did manage to beat when I was younger.
This is a really fun line up! Ninja Gaiden was one of the first NES games I ever beat after Super Mario and Dragon Warrior. It took me ages and I'm no where near competitive, but I used my Game Genie to practice all the stages to the point where I could run it.
Your "Archathlons" really have everything, Arcus. Impressive gaming skills, awesome NES games, a great host and of course, those delightful sound effects.😀👍👍 Greetings from Aberdeen, WA
I was watching a video that talks about a glitch in Castlevania 3 that takes you to the end level of the game but halfway through the explanation of the glitch I thought to myself it might be easier to just beat the game normally LOL. The funny thing was about 75% through the glitch the guy says it might just be easier for you to beat the game the normal way 😆😂
Why did he move to Seattle? If Seattle was a human being, it would be Arcus. Work on that posture my guy. Gonna have to get a workout routine going or something.
Always happy to see a new Arcus upload
Dude is amazing. I’m a kid from the 80’s. His videos take me back to a much simpler time.

Man do I remember those days. Now my kids just yell at me, "Daddy! I want Pancakes and Butt Boogers!"
@@JEFFALITY Or french fries everyday -.- just wait

Arcus, you make watching video games good wholesome fun.
god i love arcus singing along to the music Batman Batman Punch Punch Punch Punch
I used to do that lot too, as a kid!! That was the best thing about these NES game soundtracks!!
Amo a este señor, la paz y paciencia con la que juega es envidiable, lo admiro ❤
Unreal athleticism
Brainathlecticism
His mustache holds all the power

Dude, you've quickly become one of my heroes after only a handful of wholesome speedrun vids. Stay spiffy mate
I can’t help but sing the cow song every time he plays zelda II
10 minutes in and I get a nice reminder of how brutal NES Batman is. Now I remember why I took a break from running that game.
I would love to see some kind of creation of an arcus soundtrack. i would legit listen to cottage cheese on spotify regularly.
he has improved so much in castlevania!!!
arcus, i know i just got to your channel but you're my new hero lol
When you said “that’s a good squeesh”,
I felt that!
Watching you play batman like that, HOLY COW! fantastic work as always! 😎
It really baffles me how we used to navigate these levels with these games back then lol
“Smash…mash..mash…aaanndd klunkkk” - Arcus 🤠 👢 👢
Really impressed by your walkthroughs
Nice run Arcus, you the man!
Always feel bad for the Shyguy being picked up stuck going on a ride upside down for 3 minutes
Hey cowboy, you are very talented! Greetings from Sweden!
34:10 Ok what in the world happened here. I'm confused, bamboozled, led astray.
Never again will i press start on an NES title without an “and clonk”
The jumping mechanics in Zelda II are so much fun. You can't not jump all the time.
Taco Time stuffed fries and a casita burrito is a good lunch.
This cowboy rocks man
♫ Made it through-ah! ♪
Good job, Arcus! GG
ARCUS! you need to get on cameo! My cousin would love a personalized CLUNK! video!
I dont understand some of the levels with spikes in NG3. Sometimes you avoid the spikes and sometimes you go right through them. Can someone explain?
Absolute legend
Do you ever plan on doing anything with SNES? I'd really like to see you do some SNES speed runs every now and then.
Wouldn't be great watching Arcus beat the Super Metroid record. I know he can do it!
Boa noite sou fã dos seus vídeos , sou do Brasil me chamo Wederson , qual o everdrive que você usa no seu NES? Grande abraço
Congratulações very Best parabéns.
That was a loud bumble tumble
Very impressive too
If Arcus would happen to set a new record in one of these games during the Arcathlon, would it still count as the WR?
Yep!
Arcathalon!! Yassssss!
Good luck!

It’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure you can sprint to the door if you time it right.
I'm newbie. Is Orcus an alter ego of Arcus 🤷♂️? Maybe ?
*Swag Star*
My Hero 🥹
Not getting the boomerang in zelda should be illegal in any run!
Is there shared code between Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden?
Another reason to love Fridays!

Muito sangue friu na run do smb1 - uma única vida ali no final
Your moustache looks moustachier today.
Longtime casual viewer here. What is the context behind Arcus saying “just” whenever a subtle mistake is made? Is it short for something?
I've often wondered myself. I like to believe it's like "Just let me through" or "Just let me win" 😂
Great game
HWHAT a good Arcathlon.

Giddy up.
He made castlevania look like chump change lol

Anos 80 etc
if you have something to say just say it, loudly and clear. Don't mumble.
Arcus may sound like a soyboy with all the Nintendo bleeps and bloops, but I forgive him because he is very musical and because of MOOOO 🐮
