One of the most difficult, but fun games I've played. Joker is actually a giant compared to Batman in the final boss battle lol.
I need to play this again.

Are there any other games held in high regard from that era like this too? (Not megaman please I really don't like that series due to its difficulty)
8-bit games that are praised but are easier or have a save function? There aren't a ton as most are just as difficult as Batman or the Mega Man games. Bionic Commando has infinite continues, Duck Tales and Chip 'n Dale's Rescue Rangers aren't too hard, Wurm's overlooked and has password save, and there's Sega Master System classics like Wonder Boy III and Alex Kidd in Shinobi World.I've always wanted to play this as it seems like a decent 2d paltformer/side scroller.
however I'm not very good at nes games I find them hard and I never owned a nes. Stuff like megaman on nes is not fun if you've never played it is this better? Do you at least get unlimited continues or a password system?

Awesome game, rad soundtrack. I once watched a band play the music live over a live speedrun on stage.
Génesis version has a better soundtrack.
Actually the Genesis versión has the best soundtrack of any Batman related media ever.
I found the show I went to! Timestamped at the beginning of the Batman run for those interested.
This is super sad!Loved it. My favorite Uncle got this game for me for Christmas when I was like seven, even though he had caught some bad breaks, lost his job, and didn't have much money. Still remember sitting on my bedroom floor playing it with him on Christmas morning while the adults all chatted in the living room. Later that year, my pretentious aunt left him, the family stopped talking to him, and I never saw him again. Still think of him when I fire it up! Think I'm gonna try to look him up now actually and say thanks.
Batman & Robin has perhaps the best graphics of any Genesis game. Just amazing looking.I love the game OP and it trumps the SNES games too(I love those too)..... However it can't hold a candle to the adventures of Batman and Robin for the Sega Genesis. I have a softer spot for TAS and that game just oozes style. When you see it in motion on a CRT it's just mind blowing that a Sega Genesis was capable of that. Really nifty programming
I remember the Genesis game being super unfair (though it has been many years since I played it last) but it gave us this absolute banger of a trackBatman & Robin has perhaps the best graphics of any Genesis game. Just amazing looking.
I think the gameplay and difficulty curve in Batman: The Animated Series on SNES is better, though.

Best Nintendo soundtrack ever. I also loved how you could skip one particular boss in the game too. Small touches like his cape billowing as he lands is superb detail.
I'd pay for a remaster.
Yes, can you give us details about it ?Best Nintendo soundtrack ever. I also loved how you could skip one particular boss in the game too. Small touches like his cape billowing as he lands is superb detail.

Nice story. I think this woud be a great idea !Loved it.

Batman is more fun and easier (IMO) than Mega man (best and more accessible Mega man is Mega man 2). You have illimited continues for each levels (but not for the sub-levels, which can be a problem with the last level and its 2 bosses). But that last level is so good and satisfying.I've always wanted to play this as it seems like a decent 2d paltformer/side scroller.

Best mom ever !I love this game, one of my favorites on NES. The soundtrack is amazing.
I will never forget the night my mom surprised me with the game when she came home from work.
I kinda want this.
Maybe I am. I'd say the game is not that hard until the last level and bosses. But I don't want to discourage people who want to try this game :P. For the last 2 bosses, I think there are plenty of videos how to do it, but yes, those 2 are quite hard.I think you're under selling the game's difficulty. Maybe average difficulty for a Sunsoft game (Batman, Blaster Master and Fester's Quest formed a Trinity of hard games with unlimited continues), but Batman had a reputation of being pretty nasty, especially in the final levels.
That said, God I loved it. Great action, and a top tier 8 bit soundtrack. I never quite beat it. The final boss before the Joker, (I think his name was Firebug?) always got the better of me and even Nintendo Power couldn't guide me through it.
This is the realest shit.The game is difficult, but for a NES game it has a normal difficulty.
What do you mean ?
It's been two decades at least since I played that far in the game but this guy has a similar skip glitch. My version involved the last jump before entering the boss fight iirc will try and boot up my cart this weekend and have a playCan you elaborate on this? Just curious, and google isn't helping...
There is a nice "Easy" romhack that simplifies just some section of the game without making it "2020 easy". I've finished the game in that way on the original hardware.I enjoyed it a lot as a kid, though I could never get past level 5(i think)
really liked the wall jumping mechanics
I mean it's a laser accurate, on-point observation.
Oh yes ! This is very important indeed ! There is also very low input lag that helps with controls and immersion. Which is why those games are usually better on their original hardware combined with a CRT monitor. Usually because some old games are pretty well emulated on recent hardware with minimum input lag, but none of the recent classic boxes have a sufficiently low input lag for me.I like the simplicity of this age and 16bit and also 32bit even.
these days there's a lot a game gets bogged down by. Loading, lots of controls, open world bloat, logging into stuff. I miss that raw simplicity of just picking up a game and playing immedately and not having to remember 60 different commands. Older games you get used to controls and feel within 5 minutes.
