He is Vengeance! He is The Night! He is BATMAN!! And he has Returned, to kick Penguin butt! Those who follow me online know I am a BIG American Comic Book Fan. I have a full long box of complete series of Batman, Power Girl, Nightwing and Harley Quinn. I have Injustice 1 and 2 on PS4, DVDs and Blu-Rays of the Burton and Nolan Batman movies, the complete DCAU, and most of the direct to video animated movies. Comics and Superheroes are my childhood. A lot of my morality comes from the well written characters of my favorite heroes from both Japanese Mangas and American Comics. Even my own father grew up with Japanese and American tv and movie heroes, and he passed the morals he learned from his heroes to me too. Role models are important for people of all ages. And I had the BEST there is: My Parents. I Love You, Daddy! 愛してるよ、お父さん Thank you for buying me all my favorite movies, comics, video games, and mangas. And thank you, Mom! ありがとう Thank you for dropping Melody and I off at the mall for us to buy our hobbies, and helping Mel’s mom relax on Mature gaming. Thank you for letting us have sleepovers, so we can read our books and play our video games. I Love you, Mom! 愛してるよ、母さん
Batman Returns on the SEGA Master system is based on the blockbuster sequel of the Tim Burton 1989 Batman film. It’s an action platformer following the key sequences of the film. Each stage has two difficulties. One is normal and the other more challenging. You use your batterang to defeat your enemies. No physical combat, at least for the first few levels from what I can tell. Even on the normal difficulty stages, this game is a challenge. Batman has only one hit deaths in this version. According to one of my viewers, the Game Gear version has a health bar. It does help that hitting the bats and collecting their bonus icons strengthens your batterang distance, speed and power. They even reward you extra lives. Thankfully, there are unlimited continues. So if you’re tenacious enough, you can brute force your way to beating this game. The sprites look good, considering this is also a Game Gear title. The sprites are nice and detailed, and the stages are very distinct from each other. And the colors and music are very pleasing.
Batman Returns on the SEGA Master System is just fine. Difficult, but enjoyable for what it is. An 8-Bit game with effort poured in by its developers. You can tell there is heart in here, despite it being a license movie game on an obscure console in the American market. Give it a try if you feel you’re up for the challenge.
