Batman the arcade version is pretty close, I wish it had more levels though. I own Batman(Sega Genesis), Batman Returns(SNES), & Batman Forever The Arcade Game(PS1). I've always enjoyed movie based Batman games, so I tend to buy the best versions of the console ports.

>It's the best single player beat 'em up experience you can get.
Not even on the console.

>>4405932
> Single player beat'em up
> Even a "good experience" to begin with

>not playing beat'emups for the 1cc

>playing beat'emups as a "party game"

To be fair, it's only proper for a Batman game to be one-player to properly emulate the sad, lonely nature of the character. I hope you're doing fine yourself, anon

>>4405932
This will probably go against popular opinion, but pic related was my favorite Batman game growing up. Fantastic soundtrack!

>>4408784
Tiny GBatman is adorable

>>4405932
It's a great game but it needs a little more depth to be the best single player beat 'em up experience. I think Sega Adventures of Batman and Robin is probably my favorite.

>>4408784
Sunsoft did the best Batman games, I agree.
My favorite is Return of the Joker on NES.

>>4405932
>bosses take 20 years to deplete their health
yeah, no.

No offense but you're not very good at the game if you're taking long on the bosses. If you're doing the punch combo on bosses then you're not playing efficiently. This game is ALL about grabs and infinites. NEVER finish the full punch combo.

>>4408947
and by infinites i don't mean Final Fight style punch,punch, punch infinites.

I'm talking about grab-infinites.

For example, punch-punch,punch-grab-knee-knee-break, and repeat. You can break grabs by pressing block.

Or simply grab-knee-knee-break, repeat.

Seriously, some people think that this game has cheap bosses. And the youtube vids show some seriously shit gameplay when they're supposedly "expert" plays. None of them are good players. You shouldn't need a single test tube on Catwoman. You can literally finish her off in 3 sets of attacks. You shouldn't even be getting hit by her a single time, her attacks are linear as fuck and like everyone else, she's vulnerable to grabs.

DON'T FUCKING FINISH THE PUNCH COMBO. the key to being pro at this game is grabs.

wtf a dozen replies and not one person says this one? Same on you guys.

Except you, that's a good, close 2nd.

>NES version
>Instead of the superior Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version.
The Genesis version is better and closer to the movie.

>>4409015
You bring up a strong point, BUT the Genesis version does have this song

so you instantly lose.

>>4409026
doesn't have, I meant.

>>4409026
1 song, oh wow. The Sega Genesis version is still superior, mainly because of better graphics. I also loved that I can use the Batmobile & the Bat-wing.

>>4409532
I unironically prefer the graphics on the NES. It's darker, grittier, less homogay.

>>4409537

>NES Batman grittier, less homogay
>Batman is fabulously pink and purple

>>4409552
The Megadrive port is just as guilty of using purple on everything, not sure what is your point.

>>4409537
>Less homogay

Batman is literally purple in the NES version, as the other anon pointed out.

>I unironically prefer the graphics on the NES.
I like the graphics on Genesis simply because it's movie accurate. Plus even the color scheme is more movie accurate.

>>4409619
Genesis version looks like cancer. NES is the real OTP.

>>4409565
Perhaps you are confusing it with Batman Returns? Because '89 Batman game on Genesis is so brown, it looks like a 16-bit Call of Duty.

I'm in the mood for a comfy retro Batman. Which has easier gameplay, Batman NES or Batman Genesis? The easier the comfier.

>>4409628
NES is the one that truly looks like cancer. Batman surely isn't purple.

>>4411509
Genesis version.

>>4405932
The Adventures of Batman & Robin for the Genesis. I didn't like the SNES versison.

>>4411615

I want to like that game, but it's way too hard for me without save states and I'm not in a save scumming mood.

>sad, lonely nature of the character
What the fuck are you talking about? Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27 in May 1939. Robin first appeared in Detective #38 in 1940, in fact even before Joker.

Batman was a 'sad, lonely character' for ONE YEAR out of his entire 78-year long career, for all the other time he always had various Robins, Batgirls, Batwomen, Oracle, Nightwing, Azrael, Catwoman and Alfred - and recently also Batwing, Bluebird, Clayface and whatever the fuck Duke Thomas is calling himself now.

Batman is not a solo character, despite what the movies are trying to push for some reason.

>>4408784
Actually I agree with you, anon, I think it's a great game. It also happens to be the most faithful adaptation of the movie out of all of them.
>>4408834
However, I love that he just has a fucking gun in this game. Apparently it's supposed to be a 'wrist-mounted batarang launcher' but let's be honest, it's a fucking gun.

>>4409015
Gameplay is shit compared to NES.

>>4408998
winnar

>>4411719

How so?

>>4408784

I liked how you could stick to walls like in Ninja Gaiden. The "wrist launcher" Batman is holding was interpreted by my child brain to be a batarang in hand ready to throw, not a gun. So yeah, I really liked this game.

Too bad I never had a Gameboy, this was just one of the games I played when a friend let me borrow it for a few recesses.
