I’m a teacher of literature and philosophy. I spend basically my entire life trying to study how one lives the good life. I think Arcus already found it and I’m miles behind him

Love the graphics and art. The bosses are some of the creepiest on the NES. Great cutscenes too for a NES game.

Used to rent this game from video update. Good times.

Ĝoat of speedrun

The only sherriff Who play ninja gaiden

Tanks for the tutorial

Ты крутой чувак!!!! Я помню в советском детстве в неё играл, но не знал английского и не понимал что делать. Потом слое кгб меня научил английскому и я стал шпионом😂😂😂😂

Have you ever tried to plant a Ninja Gaiden cartridge?

I just want to say that this is a challenge on the NWC on the switch.

unreal athleticism

That stare at 35:31 when retro runner subscribes needs kill bill music put over it. That man took his ninja gaiden throne, and arcus hasn’t forgotten

Now Gen Z and gen Alpha thinks NES games are easy 😅

* NICE ! *

this guys beats these games like they're nothing... I'm 39 and these games beat me like I'm nothing 😄

This game looked dark to me as a kid. It has some sordid stuff.

One of my heroes right here 😁😁

I guess I’m the only one who swan under the boat

I cud picture this dude when he was a kid saying this game is impossible then slamming the controller now just humming the music speed running haha

I love this music so nostalgic

I was watching SS's Ninja Gaiden video and I thought to myself, "is that the burrito speed runner?"

The Ninja Gaiden series is quite possibly the best side scroller for the adult male in classic console gaming history... I would have focused on more realism and given the character the ability to stick to walls for only a second in order to vault off them exactly like the NES Batman game... add some minor stealth elements a cool double stage jump plus unarmed strikes like jump kicks and most importantly the ability to throw bad guys (similar to the arcade game) and your character would be absolutely complete!!! If you really wanted to take it to the next level you could give the character more realistic weapons plus the ability to dodge, block and perry similar to Ghost of Tsushima Overall with the success of Mark of the Ninja I think Gaiden is screaming for a modernized remake and you could easily add these types of features to give the game a phenomenal amount of depth despite its 2D platform. It's such a crime the Ninja Gaiden series became a High fantasy seizure inducing mess in its 3D iteration but then again even Mario abandoned the 2D element

That sand speeder music sounds a lot like the music in the NES game Nightshade.

I really was hoping for a snes port back in the days.

You beat the games I use to beat coolers apart trying to beat.. God bless you brother

Best moo I've ever heard. The original moo can could never compete with that.

Can someone please buy this man a new moo can?

I thought speed runs on emulators were some sort of cardinal sin.

The biggest challenge of this Arcathlon has been the half dead moo.

Amazing how many tough games you can beat so quick.i have a hand full of tough games beat but most not very quick.

Love these vids! When’s the next one Arcus 😊

36:08 invisible enemies?

man watching arcus struggling on the solstice run brought back so many memories of playing it as a kid getting so frustrated getting killed over and over again but it was such a fun game

The post Shadowgate "good moo" was hands down the best part of the video. That was a good "good moo".

Once i got to the turtle van i never made it much further.seen splinter once.

ска он тыкает кнопку быстрее чем в режиме турбо

Half of these levels I never knew existed

ANNOYING

1.23 there's a theory going round that I am the guy who can extract ppl from their lunch breaks in an instant. I'm sure if I were to visit pacific north west taco time and I saw u with a sick mask on and a churros in your mouth, u would take your mask off for a moment and say howdy.

I just had my shower partner. I got two chiko rolls (large egg rolls) in the airfryer but I would love to exchange these for one of that them there meatless cowboy burritos of yours.

高手

Wooooohoooo

3.32.23 I would call this the Saturday morning arcathlon.

3.32.23 ahhh good stuff. Follows right after shadowgate in the composed playlist. I should check shadowgate sometime.

Wow that was great, one of my favorite games but I think me and my friends and my brothers spent days trying to beat this game and you beat it in less than 10 min wow 😮

Your cow sounds a little sick. Needs to see a vet!

This game took me 11 hours and 11 minutes to beat. Your record is safe from me.

Watch Arcus speedrun Castlevania 2 for the 50th time? Don't mind if I do.

castlevania ii gets a lot of crap.. but whats undeniable is the scary factor, music is amazing and is a cult classic.
