Yo! Noid (NES) Playthrough

- A playthrough of Capcom's 1990 license-based action game for the NES, Yo! Noid.
This video shows two separate runs through the game. The first shows each level played in its entirety. The second, beginning at 40:52, shows the mini-game warp zones.
Capcom’s Yo! Noid stars the Noid, Domino's Pizza's crimson bunny-eared mascot used in their popular ad campaign in the late 1980s, whose mission was to ruin customers’ pizzas before they could be delivered (in thirty minutes or less). The claymation miscreant made his first video game appearance in the 1989 computer game Avoid the Noid ( • Avoid the Noid (PC) Pl... ), and Yo! Noid marked his second (and final) official appearance in a game, the following year.
But this time, the Noid isn't the villain. He's the hero! His doppelganger, Mr. Green, has laid siege to New York City, and the Noid is the only one that can stop him. With his lethal yo-yo skills, the Noid must search the Big Apple for pizza-eating contests in order to challenge each of Green’s henchmen in the ultimate test of intestinal fortitude.
Spanning a variety of NYC-inspired locales, this adventure's fourteen stages are surprisingly diverse for an NES game. In addition to the garden variety side-scrolling platform stages, the Noid takes to the skies in a gyrocopter, braves the dangers of Central Park on a skateboard, and even gets a chance to crush his enemies while perched atop the “Pizza Crusher,” a pneumatic pogo stick with a giant anvil attached to the bottom.
As he fights through waves of spear wielding fisherman, ice-skating polar bears, and Vegas-style Elvis impersonators, the Noid can collect scrolls that can be used to trigger special attacks (like blizzards and earthquakes) or to get better cards for the end of stage pizza eating contest battles, and many of these are only revealed when the Noid hits hidden spots in the background with his yo-yo.
The pizza eating contests serve as Yo! Noid‘s boss battles and are, oddly enough, the only times in-game where pizza makes an appearance. Even then, the restaurant's sign reads, "Pizza." The copyright info on the title screen is the only time the game references Domino’s itself.
At each of these events, the Noid faces off against the area champion, and each round begins with your opponent selecting a card from his deck. If the Noid picks a higher number card, the difference will be added to his pizza gauge. If the Noid’s card is lower, the difference goes to his opponent. The items that can be picked up during the stages are often the deciding factor in these fights: the Noid can find cards that will double or triple the face value of his card, as well as items that ruin the pizza in case his opponent tries to eat it. These battles are fairly simplistic, but the special cards introduce a bit of strategy, and the format does a nice job of changing up the pace of the action.
For an NES game, the impressively large and colorful graphics paint an attractive picture, and the enemy designs are often just as comically offbeat as the Noid himself. The music is upbeat and catchy, and the tight play control keeps things feeling fun and fair, though the game won't likely pose much of a challenge for anyone who is already well-versed in 8-bit platformers.
Yo! Noid is a well-made and thoroughly entertaining action game that'll appeal to anyone with a sense of humor, however much the mascot dates it.
Of interesting note, Yo! Noid wasn't originally created for Capcom's deal with Domino's. It is an asset flip of Now Production's Famicom game "Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru," which was released eight months ahead of its North American NES and PlayChoice-10 counterparts.

NintendoComplete (www.nintendocom...) punches you in the face with in-depth reviews, screenshot archives, and music from classic 8-bit NES games!
The advertising of the 80’s and 90’s is so deeply ingrained in our minds that as soon as I saw the title screen I wanted a Domino’s Pizza.
Gross
An 80s Domino's pizza, maybe.
The Noid is one of the creepiest corporate mascots I've ever seen, but that certainly didn't stop Capcom from giving him an excellent action game.
If you loved Jackie Chan and Adventure Island 2-4, you'll love this one too - they were all made by the same team!
*FINALLY...* a Yo! Noid video that actually shows where the secret cards are, and what many of the magic scrolls have.
That's all I ever wanted. Have a 'like' and a good weekend!
Tyvm! :) You do too!
Perhaps it was the Noid who should've avoided me. "Mayor Adam West."
Rented this one many times as a kid but never managed to finish it. Pretty decent game for a licensed tie-in though!
Honestly, not a terrible licensed game. Gameplay isn't incredibly innovative, but it gets the job done and its difficulty gradually increases as it goes on. *_Now Production_* is truly the developers of all time.
the noid was one of those kind natured characters that was fun for the whole family 🍕
He was a thief and a glutton!
You know how many pizzas he ruined lol
The irony of helping the Noid avoid is not lost on me.
The people he's killing with that yoyo just want fresh, hot pizza.
“Gotta be, gotta be Domino’s!” “Somethin’ for Nothin’ when you call Domino’s!” “Pick up the phone. Call Domino’s… (insert beeps) …now!” “Oh yes, we did!” These are some of Domino’s Pizza’s best advertising slogans!
Strategy was key in the Pizza Contests.
Very overlooked game. I remember playing this 30 years ago and my dad always wanted to pick the pizza cards during the duel. Good one to play with game genie.
Um dos meus jogos favoritos do Nintendinho, zerei ele várias vezes, muito bom mesmo!!!
One of the few Content Creators where I really enjoy reading every write-up. And of course all the amazing videos. Been a long time subscriber. Thanks again!
Thank you, too!
Same here, man. This guy knows his stuff, it never feels like he's just parroting Wikipedia, and actually has interesting opinions on these ancient games that are always refreshingly free of the influence of the court of public opinion.
a noid for the everyman - the peoples noid
Secret boss Adam West
I had this game when i was like 5 or 6. This and Zelda 2 are like my earliest video game memories
1:44 The noid, doing a pizza eating contest? I thought he hated pizza
I got a little Caesars ad before this
and i had just ordered pizza hut
I know it's not "developed" by them, but it's odd how this is considered a "Capcom game". Granted, there's more weird cases, but still.
Very interesting!
We could’ve gotten a AVGN episode of this if that damn Pepsiman didn’t turn the Nerd’s copy of this game into Pepsi!
The noid was kinda cool
Pizza tower noise original
Pizza contests kept me from ever beating this as a kid.
This just MIGHT be the noise🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️⁉️⁉️⁉️
(4:42) I didn't know that you could use screen nukes in this game.
Como se hace ?
So you beat it twice awesome🎉
Did you know that a sequel exists?
Meus finais de semana era passando altas horas jogando Yo Noid durante minha infância!!!

I was looking for this comment
💚
You didn’t abandon Super Mario RPG, did you? And you still haven’t finished both Zelda Oracle games. Sorry if I am demanding.
Not at all. The second part of Mario RPG is stuck in a copyright dispute at the moment (some prick who made a remix of the ending credits theme is trying to claim monetization rights to my video), but it'll be posted as soon as that's resolved. I've had the other Zelda game done for quite a while now, so don't worry. It's in the upload schedule.
Didn't you already upload this HD version a couple years ago? Or am I misremembering
I did, but it was a blurry 720p encode. This is a new recording.
@@NintendoComplete OIC
So sad this video game masterpiece is not in the chronicles list in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
I would have finished this freaking game if I could *ever* understand basic Maths 🤦🏽♀️
McDonald's has a few games as well
Just like a the pizza Tower
I was dumb enough to buy this back in the day.
The original Japanese version is miles better (the card-battle system, though I am not a fan of it, worked very well).
In the original Japanese version you were a ninja, right?
I liked the battle system. You actually have to strategize about what cards to use or save - especially in the later levels.
The Japanese version is equally as decent as the American version. There's nothing that makes either game stand out from one another.
@@docsigma Yes, you were a ninja.
@@Dorian_Scott Yeah, as the game progresses, it's subtle, but the bosses start getting better cards... but you DON'T. So you absolutely need to make sure you both find the power cards, and use them at the best possible times to really give it to the later opponents.
Wait so the original version was different gameplay wise?

27:04
music goes hard?
Chapulin colorado
Play this game as a kid & it was a hard game to be honest but did beat it thanks to Game Genie but over the years, this game was heavy criticized. Still remember a RUclipsr went off on this game & rightfully so. The ending was lame & it was utter crap that the game was a one hit kill.
1:10:42
Super mario bros. 2
Bro crash bandicoot defeat noid
*ｗｏａｇ*
Kamen no ninja hanumaru is better than this game ❤
Fun fact: Noid backwards is Dion, which stands for Dionysus. There's a pizzag@te rabbithole to be found in the grand scheme, from something so simple as an NES game, to the mockery of Christ and God's children hidden in plain sight with symbology intertwined in popular culture. I know, I know, you dorks just wanna get your vidya game nostalgia on, but truth is far stranger than fiction could ever conceive.
Do you fashion helmets for yourself out of tin foil?
Did you know that @NintendoComplete is an anagram for *Enticement Loon PD* ? All of the pieces matter!👁△
@@NintendoComplete That's good boy. Now run along and continue regurgitating programmed, dismissive statements like daddy taught you as you sleepwalk down the broad path with the rest of the zombie majority.
@@GrimeyGramps...wow. The internet never ceases to amaze me.
