At first I thought I was getting involved with a hidden gem of a find.
Then after about 5-10 mins, the unresponsive controls and merciless enemies quickly subdued any thought of such a thing. -

the first transformation was pure epicness when you were three years old
I was like 12 and still loved it.
Mictlantecuhtli still is lol
Lol, it still is
i remember that but i was 11 when it came out
Reminds me of altered beast.
I just remembered this game this morning! I don't know how I forgot, it was one of my favorites. I remember getting the anger bubbles all the time and changing into crazy mode alot. This game freaking rocks!
Alot of us forgot about this game because it's so old
When i was young i could not understand english so it was just memory of some guy turning to cool wolf and boss music which i like more
This is the best NES X-Men game ever made.
An X-Men Beast-alone sidescroller would be pretty cool actually.
@Nero It was a game being developed that couldn't get the license. So instead of wolverine, they made it a werewolf. But you see some of the bosses that look like juggernaut, magneto, pyro, etc.
Thank god! That last boss looked so much like Magneto.
I fuckin knew it! My friends thought i was crazy.
Now Im gonna rub it in their fuckin faces. YES!!
If you think about it, this is what an NES Wolverine game should have been like. The Werewolve attacks similar to Wolverine, there is a boss that looks like Juggernaut, a Boss that is like Quicksilver and Pyro had a baby and that last boss looked like a purple Magneto...
And the enemies in the different stages that all say, "Oh!" all look as if they're wearing Hellfire Club mercenary uniforms. The ninja look like the Hand. The small brown creatures in Stage 5 look like the Brood. And not only does Dr. Faryan look like Magneto, but one of his powers is to draw in steel girders to his hand to throw at you. I honestly think this was supposed to be a Wolverine game, but because another Wolverine game was made, by another subsidiary Nintendo company, it wasn't. I think this game made by Data East would have been far superior to the Wolverine game made by LJN. Even though the Wolverine game was released after the Werewolf game, it was likely being created at the same time, so they had to make this a werewolf game to avoid problems.
I totally agree!
I am kinda glad it was its own original IP too, tho! Not to say that it wouldn't have made a badass X-men game, and yeah the series deserved one, the LJN developed stuff is... tragic.
That said I'm just glad this game is an original IP because it had the added benefit of making the developers have so much more freedom on setting, character designs, atmosphere etc. and I love those elements of this game so much
The only issue is due to receiving no sequels this game became kinda obscure. But I hope to see some fanworks of it someday, and maybe it on NES online
My theory is that this game was supposed to be a Wolverine game, but Data East didn't get the copyright and decided to release the game with different characters and other names. The game has ALL the elements needed for a Wolverine quest:
short stature hero,
Iron Head = Juggernault,
Fireman = Pyro,
Dr. Faryan = Dr. Sinister,
Last Boss = Magneto,
Including ninjas (The Hand) and hellfire club soldiers (the ones who speak "OH").
@@Visaoturva kind of like how jouney to silius was supposed to be a terminator game but ljn got the rights to make a shitty game.
@@Kos4Evr Same ljn that made Wolverine for Snes
Spirit= Xavier's mind projection
Wolfman: Wolverine
Miniboss= Goliath
W = Claws and berserk Pup
Ninjas = Black hand ninjas
Fast boss= Quicksilver
Larva Boss= Annihilus
Enemy Wolfman: Sabertooth
Iron head: Juggernaut
Final Boss: Magneto
La obra maestra qué no pasa de moda,es una JOYA💎💎
I love how the enemies who stop long enough to yell OH! when they see a werewolf also yell !HO when facing the other way.
I loved this game as a kid! The Title screen/cutscene music goes hard and gets stuck in my head!!!
Brings back memories. Could never get past the stage with all the water.
mom bought this game when i was little for me. I tried hard to beat this game over and over and never got past level 3. I had bite marks in my controller from sheer rage trying to beat this game lol.
Is it just me, or does the final boss look like Magneto from X-Men?
you can see also Abyss (marvel vs capcom 2) and Juggernaut in this game ...lol
the main character resembles Wolverine, there is a juggernaut-like boss, a boss that resembles a cross between quicksilver and Pyro and a boss that resembles Magnet.
This was originally a Woverine game
@@johngoodman5976
That makes a lot of sense considering the animations and movements.
Abyss, Juggernaut, Human Torch, and Magneto were obvious inspirations for this game seeing that it was originally intended to be a Wolverine game; a lot of decisions were finalized and this was able to go under the radar.
This game is really a mixed bag. There seems to be quite a deep backstory making you believe it's based on some movie. The music is absolutely stunning, the werewolf acrobatic movements and climbing abilitíes are awesome. Transforming to human and back is interesting and nice. On the other hand, the werewolf character could use some dithering, it looks quite dull. At the same time there are a lot of weird stuff going on. What's up with the boss fights with the bald guy that's not even trying to fight? The hit detection seems off. Why are those enemies saying "OH!" in text form? Signs saying "don't knock"... are those some kind of a joke? Weird powerups looking like bubbles, and so on.
And when the enemies face left, they say, "!HO" Didn't even bother to reverse the text sprites but funny as hell.
The wolf sprite is off because the dude/wolverine's sprite was just supposed to turn red/ish. Also the very first enemy is Marvel's version of Goliath, he wants to fight but is just really freaking slow here
When you said "mixed bag", I thought you're saying this game is bad because i know avgn commented about zelda cdi that it's a mixed bag lol
@@Thewolfguys.cartoons2000 I know I’m 2 years late but I don’t see how Zelda CDI is a mixed bag. It’s just a trash bag with no good aspects. I guess I need to rewatch that AVGN episode.
And dont forget how werewolf standing in front of the mass holding a flag
Badass!
I love the music
What music? The same freakin tracks play every single level!
Yiorgo S Exactly!
@@yiorgo187 Thankfully 👍
I loved the music too. Despite the atrocious difficulty and controls, the music is epic and keeps you going, even if you don't want to.
I played the game, but i only reached level 2.
He didn't even use any earthquake. Very impressive.
I remembered having need to use it at every boss for the last hit since it also hits yourself.
yeah me too.
The first transformation can be scary at first, especially with the background music, but I must admire the way the werewolf is holding the flag at the end.
I love how the music sounds like a cross between Castlevania & Bad Dudes. And the Witcher stole that wolf icon. Lol
I used to play this game when I was a kid... amazing how I never passed the first level, but that's the magic about the NES
I played this game years ago. First thing that came to my mind was,"For a werewolf, he's not really fast, cant even run."
dat Belmont's powerwalk
Yea I kinda figured it was created by the same of castlevania
Even the soundtrack is similar to castlevania for the NES
This game is one of those few underrated gems I got lucky enough to find in the store. But damn, It´s almost like if Data East couldn´t get the rights to make an x men game.
Werewolf: wolverine
Kinju (guy that appears at the start of the levels): Nightcrawler
Guys with guns at 4:23: Hellfire club soldiers (those are identical)
Iron head: Juggernaut
Fire man: Pyro
Final Boss: Magneto
The final boss is...Magneto?
Even Juggernaut is no match for our hero Warwolf aka Werewolf the Last Warrior!
Incredible music. It's a shame so many great 8-bit games went unnoticed as the 16-bit era swept the previous generation away. Very cool game . . .
That waterfall level....so frustrating
Yo tengo este juego en family Game bootleg. Y es una obra maestra. Su música . Escenario. Edificios que se ve subir un lobo o se cae al vacío. Realmente. Un juego de raza. Que muestra lo que es una joya de los años 90s de los 8 bits. Mucho para tan poco
I remember I so damn hard this game was and couldn't finnish it up to this very day!!!
I remember this game was so damn hard and still couldn't finish it up to this very day!!!
8:53 Is he climbing the building from Megaman 2?
The other side of the building from Mega man 2
*Werewolf climbing to top*
Megaman: Sorry bro, my watchpost
Werewolf: Aww fuuu...!
*Scene where Werewolf is climbing back down*
Lol thanks for the thumbs ups, if not for them I would not have come back just to get surprised and lol from my own comment XD
lol ur right
8:17 the part kinda reminds me of the street level from Bad dudes or Spider man: return of the sinister six on nes
The electricity on the first level always zaps me to low health. I didn't know you could flip backwards through them!
Wish I had this game when I was a kid...
I had it, what you traded it off for?
The comic book was pretty rad.
The music in the game really slaps!!!
This game has it all a furry werewolf and Jake the snake Roberts as your guide
Early spring 2013, the first time i played this after discovering in my ”3000 room map” together with Vice Project, Dragon fighter, Shatterhand and many other that came in early 90s 😊🎮🕹️
This brings back good memories !
Suddenly I crave a Bad Dudes/Werewolf crossover.... *grin*
And Magneto as final boss? Maybe they wanted to make Wolverine game but couldn't get the license? This shit blows the Wolverine game away.
He looks like a complete rip-off. xD
~JagOfTroy
I guess, that happened, just look at the boss of level two, it looks like Juggernaut. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Spirit= Xavier's mind projection
Wolfman: Wolverine
Miniboss= Goliath
W = Claws and berserk Pup
Ninjas = Black hand ninjas
Fast boss= Quicksilver
Larva Boss= Annihilus
Enemy Wolfman: Sabertooth
Iron head: Juggernaut
Final Boss: Magneto
"HO!"/"OH" = Hellfire Club
Aliens = Brood
10:45 "I'm tha Juggernaut BiOtsh!"
I've always thought that Data East took the concept of Altered Beast and made it their own version. I like both games equally and I really need to pick this one up again. My local used game store has it and I need to get it before someone else picks it up.
That lightning strike sound effect sounds exactly the same as in Karnov
Well both games were made by the same company so I bet they just recycled the sound effect.
Classic game! And the end screen is so worth all your efforts getting there. America!
I had a lot of trouble with the 3rd and 4th stage myself when I played it all those years ago...
I don't get why this game was never loved, it's probably on my top 3 NES games, the world, the music and everything was super epic back then. I wish it was added to the nes collection online.
So many memories 1990s listening and watching this game
Lmao who the hell says "OH!" when they see a 7ft werewolf infront of them
Anybody who knows they're instantly and royaly screwed?
HOOH
the music in this game is simply the fucking tits!!!
thank you Werewolf - The Last Warrior nes computer thank you World of Longplays mr.
12:37 I could never go for that way without losing all my lives, I considered a suicide move.
This game however had a GBA pirated port called Crash Bandicoot 4.
Lol, Crash sure went trough some changes during life
Im gonna cry...the childhood
If you could be any monster from the classic movies which would you be. I would be a werewolf!
I own the Japanese version of this game on a multicart. It has vastly different level structures, to the point where it kinda seems like a different game or a difficulty-adjusted rerelease like Super Xevious (fun fact--according to the Cutting Room Floor website the Japanese version was released a year AFTER the USA version. Also strangely the JP version is easier. The electric barriers in area 1-3 don’t fire as often, there isn’t a pit of spikes at the beginning of area 1-2, and area 1-1 lacks falling rocks. Also I think the controls were inverted in the USA version, having B=jump and A=punch)
I never managed to beat this game. Always got stuck in the waterfall level. If I remember right, there wasn't continues and even if there were they were limited and death was a ticket back to the beginning. I conquered almost all other NES games back in the day, but this was harder than Battletoads IMO.
La musica de estos juegos de antaño superan por mucho a la de los juegos de ahora, con un par de bits hacian musica epica o sinfonias exelentes, hoy en dia se oye ``bien´´ pero muy pcos juegos tienen la inventiva de malodias tan esquisitas, la mayoria se limita a tonos epicos o rocks obvios.
A mí la música de este juego se me hace demasiado chillona y repetitiva. Tanto que me produce dolor de cabeza.
Alfred Suenan ``pixeles´´ xd no instrumentos, necesitas de mucha costumbre para que no te suene chillona la musica de estos juegos. Fuera de eso tambien depende de tu gusto particular, no podes obligarte a que te guste el heavy o el jazz, aunque ambos tengan un sonido full hd XD.
Alfred Toda la música de 8 bits suena chillona y repetitiva si la escuchas hoy en día, pero en su época los temas musicales de este juego me parecieron espectaculares. De hecho, para mí este juego en cuanto a música es de los mejores de NES.
La música de este juego es buena, lastima que tenga pocos temas.
Lo mismo opino, pero estas pocas pistas se te quedan en la mente
This was my shit man i miss these times as a kid
Well thanks I finally got to see the ending of this game, I purchased it when it came out and would die on the waterfall level everytime!
is this on an emulator? i play on the physical cart and cannot make it past the section at 5:20 . trying to do multiple flips is challenging on the original hardware. i think my copy is cursed, the 'lasers' rain down non-stop when i play. never could take 1-2 steps through the danger area
They usually do use emulators for NES games
Memories. Good Memories.
My favorite game as a kid
thank you Werewolf - The Last Warrior nes computer thank you World of Longplays mr. 1996 1997
So werewolf saved ...six people. Okay
Wouldn't mind seeing this game remade for today's consoles. Hopefully they could get the controls right.
Great graphics for a nes games,a good color balance between the green n the gray,the vegetation n the concrete.
Magneto is the final boss?? That's awesome
+Gabriel Alvarado Yeah and the second one is Juggernaut :P
+Mungo20.no
woah this music is awesome!
27:08 wow Magneto is in this game
Yeah i know that's some bullcrap right?
18:21 No, I believe you're thinking of vampires that don't like running water.
...but then again, this werewolf has metal blade arms, so he might have an adamantium skeleton. Then he would sink like a stone.
Why is this game not known at all? No hidden gem, Nothing. Looks pretty cool.
never knew such game existed...
Yes it existed and it was good
So, Simon Belmont turns into a werewolf, fights some Soda Popinski looking mother fucker, a bunch of X Men villains, and collects Ws and anger management bubbles.
31 years since this game was launched
Yeah, I remember playing this a good 20 years ago when I was 8 and raging so hard at how unfair the waterfall level was and resetting my Pegasus (Russian copy of NES) at 23:16 because I was scared shitless when the mentor character turned evil.
Honestly seeing this Longplay and trying to replay this game now as an adult I see that the level design is very poor with a lot of cheap enemy placement (Piranhas at the waterfall level), levels when there's nothing to do (The building with lightning before 2nd boss), dead ends (At 14:32 if you continue you run into a spiked wall, as you normally would because no-one will jump into that hole on the first try) levels with enemy spam and like 7 bald man fights with are all the same thing over and over again.
I still have a special place in my heart for this game, but it definitely didn't age well.
The wolf icon on the bottom right that appears when you transform, reminds me of The Witcher.
Never understood why it skips 3-1
Ya, i always wondered why you never fight Giant Head?
love this game when i was a kid...never finish it tho haha..but good to know everything till end
Are these bosses (especially the fire-engulfed man) is even possible to beat without the werewolf form?
One of the things that annoyed me about this game was the strength of the monsters your attacks don't do much damage even if you become a werewolf
Werewolf for Smash Bros please
thanks for bring my childhood dude
This one is one Hard game!
The first boss theme ❤️❤️❤️
congrats to JagOfTroy for passing one of my childhood fave games on the ol' NES, & one of the toughest on that system as well...to this very date, I can never make it past the beginning of the 4th level! 2 things I hope y'all notice: 1] most of the sound effects seem ripped fom Ninja Gaiden (Gawd, I hate that "game"), 2] the boss's music seems to be a slowed-down remix of the bosstune from the arcade version of Bloody Wolf...nice way of recyclin tunes there, Data East. a great game nonetheless.
The last enemy is suppose to be Dark Faryan's form.
No more heroes, Fuzzball.
I always remembered how game over screen (that pure white color) scares me as a boy
And this game is hella difficult
That chasm level I never got past
I found this game in a Nintendo Power magazine in a video about the history of Punch-Out
Me neither, but I still want to, when I couldn't find the casette thing I found a rom, and now, by watching this, I finally remember how to stick to the roof
I rented this game back in the day. It wasn't bad, not good either.
OHHH sweet memories
at 1:49 til he becomes the werewolf, he kinda walks and stands like Simon Belmont
It was a tiring task but I managed to last till the end. :)
I remember this game had it as a kid took me awhile to pass it.
I owned this game as a kid and to this day I have never beat it, so damn hard!
That puzzled me too when I saw him appear.
Is...is the final boss Magneto?!
Who tf is the giant head?i never found him as a boss...ps: the oh guys look like thanatos's tanors from the animated show Chris Colorado
I fucking loved this game as a kid!
4:30 Those look like the guys from Rolling Thunder.
This game deserves a next gen sequel or a reboot.
I love it when people don't know what "next gen" means.
