  • @allluckyseven
    @allluckyseven 2 года назад +13

    This one plays suspiciously like it was supposed to be a Wolverine game, but they couldn't get the license so they ended up changing the characters around. The enemies all look a lot like X-Men enemies.
    Which is the opposite of what the first Batman game looks like. That one seems to me that it was already some other game that they added Batman characters to.
    EDIT: Curiously enough, the same director worked in Captain America and the Avengers right after this one.

    Obviously in terms of gameplay, controls etc. it doesn't hold up very well now; but the jankiness is just part of the whole Data East mystique IMO. They made and published some damn weird stuff back in the day and I respect the hell out of them for it.

    Game Genie makes this game a LOT better. You can do "1 anger point to become werewolf".....and thats what anger does....it lets you change to werewolf form. then do the "blue w's wont cuange you back"....then you can pretty much always be the werewolf. There's a no damage code but, honestly just having the werewolf most of the game makes it more fun without being too easy. This and the megaman games were my favorite rental games in my hometown when i was a kid. This music reminds me of TMNT and Mega Man.....i want to hear james, do his Bevis n Butthead singalong voice.....duh, du-du, duh....duh duh duuum... i was always impressed with what they can pull off in just 8-bit midi tunes!!!

    What a sick game.. Sorry us aussies say sick when something is awesome.
    I was under ten when we had a sega master system then a mega drive when I was 12, I really wish we had a NES and SNES even though I fondly remember Alex kid, on MS, we didn’t have much else.. F1 which I didn’t like.. captain silver.. which was cool but hard for a kid.. Mickey mouse castle of illusion was awesome..
    And for Mega drive I remember golden axe 2, streets of rage 1, and 2… shinobi, columns, sonic, sonic 2, but a lot of these got way too hard halfway through.. as a kid.. we had the yellow 6 in 1 bundle cartridge that came with the system..
    We rented stuff like primal rage, another world, alien storm, desert strike and jungle strike which I loved..
    But I totally missed out on the awesome NES library of side scrollers..
    As for SNES games, whenever I played one at a friends house I just loved it..

    A couple Tips -
    Before the lightning ⚡️ starts, you pick up an invincible thing and turn gray, that's when you make your move, or see if it's multiple routes to travel, and take the low road if available and bypass lightning completely
    In the water level, I'm not sure if you tried jump attacking the rocket guys or not, but i think you do that
    My knowledge comes from watching another playthrough, dude went through that level never getting hit so it's probably some memorizing, patience involved and probably manipulating some enemies to spawn or not spawn as you go

    • @mikematei
      @mikematei  2 года назад +1

      Yeah I mean, I dont know. The jumping and platforming is not the best. So jump attacking them is hard and they are high up. I think often higher than you can reach them.

    You can just tell Data East wanted to do an X-Men game. Warwolf is pretty much Wolverine. Iron Head is like Juggernaut. Fireman is like Pyro, Dr. Faryan is like Magneto. Data East did a Captain America game. My guess is that they looked into the rights for X-Men, found that LJN had the home console rights, and decided to make a Wolverine game anyway without the license.
