Yes I finally found this classic! I couldn’t remember the name but finally it just clicked. This game is mad underrated. I probably played it more than any other NES game. Amazing soundtrack and artwork.
Played the heck out of this one back in the day. Nobody seems to know this game. Which is crazy, because it's easily among the best action games on the NES. High end graphics, super tight controls, great weapon design, awesome music.
@@Vik1919 I meant back in the late 80s and 90s. You just couldnt find games if it wasnt on the shelf in a store. Emulators are wonderful because of how easy it is now to play these old classics, but thats a more recent technology.
This is what happens when you put Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden, and Castlevania in a blender. You get Shatter Hand, a difficult NES game in it's own library.
@@DarKKnightt07 Yes I agree but I wasnt saying its like Castlevania. The main commentator did. I felt it was more Journey to Silius in graphics, music and gameplay. Even similar to quantum fighter and Power blade
AVGN brought me here. I never even heard of "Shatterhand",until I watched his video game box art video. Wow! This game looks better than I thought it would be. I wish I would've known about this back in the day,when I was a kid.
***** Sorry if I butted in because of these issues. I found your comment to be a little extreme but once again I do apologise for thinking it was about Ghostbusters and judging your profile, that was irrational of me
+Don Scott yes. James does not really seek to control one's opinion on a game. It's really just mostly for laughs. Although he does give some good points about the games, it's really up to us if we agree with him.
Check out the scrolling shooter "Summer Carnival '92: Recca", that game is freaking intense for a Famicom/NES game. It has loads of enemies on the screen at all times, huge bosses, complex rave music with lots of bass and drums, and psychedelic, fluid backgrounds that behave as if they are underwater or something. It has lots of fast blinking lights and stuff though, so epilepsy warning, I guess.
Part of me wonders if this was originally intended as an arcade game. I mean, it’s extremely difficult yet it plays fair, and it even lets you put your initials in if you score high enough (though not many people may realize this since your score resets when you continue).
This seems to be a pretty obscure game. It definitely needs more love. According to Wikipedia, the final boss is apparently General Gus Grover, the leader of a group military renegades called Metal Command. The protagonist is a young Bronx officer named Steve Hermann, who lost both of his arms and had them replaced with cybernetic arms. Funny enough, the original Japanese version seems to have more of a plot, and the protagonist has a resemblance to RoboCop. Steve Hermann is totally an unsung hero. I mean, he's a walking representation of awesomeness, and very few have even heard of him. He needs more appearances. (Sad)
To this day I'm still trying to think of a good reason for Steve's vest to be blowing so hard in the wind while in front of a big CPU screen like that but fuck it; he looks so TUFF.
I owned this game for about 5 or 6 years as it was one of my favorite NES games. I played it mostly for the music. This game was definitely cyberpunk. I gave my own names to the bosses. Flare Man, Twin Jumpers, Cyborg Ninja, Deep Sea Demolisher, Mutant and Gravity Ghost. I didn't give a name to the final boss, though.
Wow. This game looks way better than I would assume from the way James ripped the box art. Where was this game in the rentals section I never even heard of it?
Kaimax_61 Nope. Shatterhand was intended to be the original game, even in Japan. Natsume only changed the Japanese release to Solbrain at Bandai’s request.
@@hurricanemixer according to wikipedia, quote "Shatterhand was originally released by Angel (Bandai) in Japan in 1991 as a licensed game for the Family Computer based on the live-action superhero series Super Rescue Solbrain" end of quote
Are you kidding me? I played this game through, at least 2 times but never figured out the special moves with your bot: Throw- away and Jet Pack.. Mind blown partially.
This game is fcuking amazing. I took years like 7 years cuz when I played the game on NES and Arcade it was ...misspelled with wrong name. and I couldn't find the game. I played this game in 1994.. Somehow I only remember the Music.. thanks Mate. Now I am gonna download this game and also download the OST.. I love this soo much xD!.
One of a few NES games i owned and couldnt beat. This game was fun but challenging. I also had shadow of the ninja and noticed the music was similar. 2 very good games.
Oh, i remember a Pirate copy of this game Second Boss was unbeatable i was so pissed, because it was a good game at the beginning... Still used cheat codes to see other bosses and listen to its soundtrack :D
I still own this game , bought back in idk maybe 93 brand new , only reason i knew about it was because i played it at a friends house and never forgot it , very underrated
I bought this game when I was a youngster. However, the game was called robocop 4. I had no idea that her real title is Shatterhand. Finally, I found your favorite game from childhood. :) I played it on the NES clone who called Pegasus.
I used to own a bootleg copy of this game, it was in Japanese, the main guy looked like a robot ninja, and the title on the game cartridge was called "Robocop 3"
És én még azt hittem, hogy ezt a játékot könnyen végig fogom tudom vinni. Hát megnéztem az utolsó pályát... ANYÁM de király, de B@ZDKI ez rohadt nehéz lesz!!! AWESOME!!!
A game I once avoided due to the Jaleco name (though Jaleco's saving grace was one of it's last games, Game Tengoku, an unbelievably awesome game). Once I played it, found out it was from Natsume, I bought it. Got it when it was still a $10 game years ago.
I played that with my BF. He still has his NES and the game 😎 I used to call this game Bubble Bubble because it makes a similar sound when defeating a boss 😂
Yes I finally found this classic! I couldn’t remember the name but finally it just clicked. This game is mad underrated. I probably played it more than any other NES game. Amazing soundtrack and artwork.
Same here! just watched a 3h long video on all nes games to find this thing ^^ Epic game!
These are the golden days when I was a kid playing nes games on a stormy dark night. 😊😊😊
The fact that he just punches everything, no weapon, is cool as fuck
Especially bullets like this game is so good🤩
Played the heck out of this one back in the day. Nobody seems to know this game. Which is crazy, because it's easily among the best action games on the NES. High end graphics, super tight controls, great weapon design, awesome music.
Thats so common with the old games, if it wasnt in the store, you never got it!
@@kevinoverbeck4250 I beg to differ. There's something called emulation and I just played this game yesterday.

@@kevinoverbeck4250 Ah I see.
It could also because some of us played the original version: Solbrain. I remembered watching the series.

I would switch Castlevania with Journey to Silius :)

Loved this game so much
Batman too
WITH OUR POWERS COMBINED WE BECOME CAPTAIN DO WANT

Okay...
*looks at profile
please tell me it's not about the ghosbusters thing is it?
***** okay then...

I'm just a fan of AVGN. I think he's hilarious. Ironically most of the games he shits on,I actually like. Such as the LJN games.
+Don Scott yes. James does not really seek to control one's opinion on a game. It's really just mostly for laughs. Although he does give some good points about the games, it's really up to us if we agree with him.
2 layers of parallax and animated backgrounds on NES? Whaaaaaat?

Mega Man 6 also has parallel scrolling but ok
@@SantiagoMonroy5 that came like 4 or 5 years later.
Defiantly a hidden gem amongst the nes library!!

hands down one of the BEST nes games ever. pop this in or download the rom for a good time for sure.
Man! this game looks awesome.. can't believe I never played this back in the day...
Ah, memories! This game had a fantastic soundtrack.
Love this game and the Shadow of the Ninja as well both very awesome and underrated gems on the NES.
Checkout Cyber Shadow!!!! Comes out tomorrow
Remember playing this as a kid and I love it the music was badass probably one of the best nes music and forgotten as well
my favorite when i was a kid. such a beautiful game. probably one of my all time top 3 games only second to Comix Zone.

that mission select screen is honestly one of the hardest images ever generated by the NES

Shatterhand, Mitsume Ga Tooru, ZEN Intergalactic Ninja prooved, that 8 bit was enough. Excellent sound & gameplay!
Natsume sabia hacer juegos de verdad.... inolvidables!!

Honestly. I would cal him a lame Shatterhand wannabe because that is all he is.
oh man, that's is the oficial name then!
Lame-ass Shredder.
The 1# part of level 2 is the greatest most beautyfull part of the whole game,those paralax scrollings thee are mind blowing!!!
man this game looks so damn good
my god, this game is sooo old, love this game and its music. A game that I couldn't beat a single level in 30min and full health. insane.
You have no idea how much time I spent searching for this game.
Thank you!
Shatter hand. A game that made you re fight old bosses long before Capcom did it
One of my favorite game, sound tracks are awesome!
I think i had pirated version of this and called robocop 3
+PapunaOfficial Yeah! I was thinkin' the same o_o Weird.
sadly it had glitch, when fighting ninja or something, after killing him, he reappeared infinity times, could not finish it -_-
+PapunaOfficial Me too. "robocop 3" was my first videogame ever played but I couldn't find it in the net due to wrong title. Thx for clearing it out.
It looks like a "Super Mario Bros (Golden Coins)" version of the game Super Rescue Solbrain!!!
PapunaOfficial si en argentina llego con el nombre de robocop 3
Wow. This game looks way better than I would assume from the way James ripped the box art. Where was this game in the rentals section I never even heard of it?
I had been looking for this game what feels like forever now.
Great Gameplay. Shatterhand is one of the best!!!
Definitely one of the hardest games I ever played growing up!!
Natsume developed some awesome games on the NES!
Shattherhand is a modification of Super Rescue Solbrain from Japan
It looks like a "Super Mario Bros (Golden Coins)" version of the game Super Rescue Solbrain.
You have that one backwards, champ.
@@hurricanemixer no, solbrain was first, before being localized as Shatterhand.
Kaimax_61 Nope. Shatterhand was intended to be the original game, even in Japan. Natsume only changed the Japanese release to Solbrain at Bandai’s request.

This was Daniel Craig's best performance.
Travis Johnson same reason I’m here lol
Loved this throw back game.
This game shatterhand is MARVELOUS!
I remember renting this game a LOT. I was so hyped because GamePro gave this thing a perfect score. Definitely an underrated game
One of the biggest problems in this game is shattering your hands!!! 👊
That was a joke!
24:26 One of the best NES game song of all times
and also One if the best game for NES
Are you kidding me? I played this game through, at least 2 times but never figured out the special moves with your bot: Throw- away and Jet Pack.. Mind blown partially.
me too, didn't know you could fly with it.
THE AWESOME MEMORIES !!!!!
30:35 amaizing music, something like detroit techno
Loving the drum programming!
@@sawtoothiandiAll of the drum programming in this game is insane.
Seems like a decent game. Never played it back in the early 90s.
I play this game when i was little even though i never beat the game i still enjoy this game love the music and the power ups
I had been trying to find this game again for ages...
This game is fcuking amazing. I took years like 7 years cuz when I played the game on NES and Arcade it was ...misspelled with wrong name. and I couldn't find the game. I played this game in 1994.. Somehow I only remember the Music.. thanks Mate.
Now I am gonna download this game and also download the OST.. I love this soo much xD!.
Incase anyone is wondering, This game was based on a Japanese Tokusatsu show called Special Rescue Command Solbrain
JohnX895 played this game like perfect computer very good work!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
One of a few NES games i owned and couldnt beat. This game was fun but challenging. I also had shadow of the ninja and noticed the music was similar. 2 very good games.
Like other natsume games, this is very similar to shadow of the ninja, both are great NES games, reminds me of my childhood
Amazed how good it looks
1:04 my personal the best of the best ever moments in video games. And the best music ever in any nes game I've played.
Как я лблю эту игру. Это одна из лучших игр на nes.Особенно по графике и музыке, просто опередила свое время!❤
All I can say is so many good obscure games on NES! :|
Not so obscure.
It was released as a bootleg, called Robocop 2 xD
Oh, i remember a Pirate copy of this game
Second Boss was unbeatable
i was so pissed, because it was a good game at the beginning...
Still used cheat codes to see other bosses and listen to its soundtrack :D
oh it was pirated and robocop3 fuckers
я счастлив что я уже был на Земле когда зарождалась индустрия, и я рос вместе с этими играми
This game is amazing, great sound and atmosphere, in top10 nes list for me
I still own this game , bought back in idk maybe 93 brand new , only reason i knew about it was because i played it at a friends house and never forgot it , very underrated
LOved this game back in the day wasn't till years latter i learned it was a reskin of a game based on a Japnese super hero show
Безупречное прохождение.
I bought this game when I was a youngster. However, the game was called robocop 4. I had no idea that her real title is Shatterhand. Finally, I found your favorite game from childhood. :) I played it on the NES clone who called Pegasus.
best of 20 nes list!
this game is no 10!
great game, i loved that in many lo
ng time ago
Lol. I can't believe I found it here.
There are some mega man like elements in this it seems. The whole stage select and boss rush at the end
I think it has some minor similarities with Double Dragon as well, probably mostly because of the fist-fighting. =P
Never heard of this game but its 90% the exact game as Kage from animations, stage designs, action & music its all there
Ambos fueron hechos por Natsume
Era su sello característico
I love nes))
Awesome music
holy shit the graphic is so fking good for nes game
"sup man!"
+vieira-san SUPP MANNNNN!!!
Greatest NES intro
I used to own a bootleg copy of this game, it was in Japanese, the main guy looked like a robot ninja, and the title on the game cartridge was called "Robocop 3"
This game is awesome. I have actually beaten it today. Makes u feel like ur the NES king.
You are sir, you are. Better to be king for a day than schmuck for a lifetime!! 👏
This title is a US version. Japan version called 'tokkyu shirei solbrain'.
Everybody talks about classics like Contra or Ninja Gaiden but not many talk about this gem.
one of the epic game that has got some badass style stunt audible!
One of the best on the system.
Yeah, the sound effects really feel like Konami.
Reminds me of Batman, but looks far more playable.
Good old Natsume. I also wanna check out S.C.A.T.
you are a fantastic player...i love that & i love this game 😍🤗🤗
Damn this game is just so Natsume. When is it coming to Switch Nintendo select?
És én még azt hittem, hogy ezt a játékot könnyen végig fogom tudom vinni. Hát megnéztem az utolsó pályát... ANYÁM de király, de B@ZDKI ez rohadt nehéz lesz!!!
AWESOME!!!
Always loved the music in this game.....never ended it though. I should now on rom
Why the hell not make a follow up to this game? Could've been so great.
You are very good at this game! I could never rush through like this.
Natsume, Taito and Konami made the best NES games. Not gonna lie - soundtrack in Shatterhand is one of the best NES library.
This is by far the best Nintendo game ever made! 🎮 ❤️
when i first saw this game (about 2012) i thought it was SNES so it took a while to figure out what the heck it was!
I take that back, the SNES one was indeed developed by Natsume, only the arcade one was by Taito.
This was the Americanized version of a Famicom game based on a Japanese live action kids' show called Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain.
It looks like a "Super Mario Bros (Golden Coins)" version of the game Super Rescue Solbrain!!!
I can totally see some elements that were used from the batman game...This game looks pretty damn good!!!
JohnX895 beat Dark Souls with only a Kinect and a broken ankle on his first try.
I NEVER played this but,
I thought that you had to use the Power Glove for this game??😕 LOL!
guess not!😆😊😂😂
This is so power blade, i wish they remake power blade with a retro look
A game I once avoided due to the Jaleco name (though Jaleco's saving grace was one of it's last games, Game Tengoku, an unbelievably awesome game). Once I played it, found out it was from Natsume, I bought it. Got it when it was still a $10 game years ago.
my dad showed me this game when i was a little kid
i miss when he thought gaming was cool :(
Awesome game
Games we all wish we could have on Steam or for digital download. We get Bubsy Two-Fur instead. OUCH!
Sin micropagos ni dlcs solo pura diversión extraño los juegos de antes
Some SFX are the same as the ones on Mitsume Ga Tooru :)
Would love to see this game on the NSO
man i wish natsume could go back making bad ass action games again ala wild guns or ninja warriors a.k.a ninja warriors again and this one
I played that with my BF. He still has his NES and the game 😎
I used to call this game Bubble Bubble because it makes a similar sound when defeating a boss 😂
Maaaaan NES soundtracks were that good ..
