Description

"Step into the boots of the Caped Crusader in Batman: The Video Game, a classic NES platformer developed by SunSoft. Released in tandem with the 1989 Batman film, the game offers an immersive journey through Gotham City's streets, the Axis Chemical Plant, Gotham Sewers, a Mysterious Laboratory, and the daunting Gotham Cathedral Belltower. Batman possesses the ability to wall jump - a feature uncommon in side-scrolling platformers of the time. Equipped with the batpoon, batarang, and batdisk, you'll face off against DC villains like Deadshot, KGBeast, and the Joker himself. Despite changes from the movie, the game has been lauded for its challenging gameplay and became an award-winning title. Commemorated as one of the best NES games, Batman: The Video Game is a must-play for fans of retro platformers and the Dark Knight.

Game Controls

The NES version of Batman is controlled via a cross-shaped joypad and two action buttons. Press sideways to move Batman left or right and down to make Batman kneel. Use the A button to jump and the B button to attack or shoot. Pause the game and display your score with the Start button. Select your weapon with the Select button when optional weapons are available.
