Batman Day – KWing Reviews July 19, 2012

Looking for reviews of all the classic Batman games?  Look no further than Knightwing…no, not that Knightwing, I’m talking about Knightwing01, or KWing for short.  On his YouTube channel, you’ll find some of the most in-depth video reviews I’ve seen for even the most obscure of Batman games not reviewed by a mainstream publication.

For me to post up all the videos he’s done on Batman games alone would take up so much space it would probably break my site.  This guy did a full Let’s Play of Batman: Arkham City (and the DLC) with his wife, and that alone would be enough to break the site.  Instead I’m going to post up some of my personal favorite reviews of his of various Batman games, but I encourage you to check out his YouTube Channel because there is a TON of fantastic reviews that he did, both by himself and with his wife, of all kinds of games ranging from Batman all the way to Metroid.

Well, first off, if you had any questions about just what happened between Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, you’ll want to check this Lore out.

Next off is the first review of his that I ever saw, his review of Batman: Return of the Joker.

Next off I want to highlight some of my favorite reviews of some more Batman games that he did as a small miniseries.  First off is a game that I had on the Nintendo GameCube called Batman: Dark Tomorrow, which only redeemable quality was the comic book art style and the cutscenes.  The gameplay was complete garbage.  If you ever wondered what a game like Arkham City could have been like if it was done badly, watch this review.

Next up is a review of a video game that I happened to like a lot.  It was the first Batman video game that Kevin Conroy had done (no, not Batman: Arkham Asylum or Batman: Rise of the Sin Tzu), Batman: Vengeance.  Inspired by the last season of the animated TV series and voiced by all the voice actors of that series, the game fantastically served as a 3D recreation of that classic 2D animated series.

Seriously how groundbreaking was this game?  The creators of the Batman: Animated Series were so inspired by the 3D graphics in the game, they decided to use 3D models for the opening credits sequence in their next series, Justice League.

And since we’re talking about the Batman Animated Series, here’s a review he did with his wife where he compared the different versions released of the video games based on that groundbreaking animated series to the Super Nintendo and Genesis.

And finally, here’s a review I really liked for Batman Returns on the Super Nintendo.

Now be aware there are a TON of reviews Kwing and Kwife have done, as well as Let’s Plays that I did not embed here, including reviews of Batman Begins (multiplatform) and Batman (NES) and I totally recommend checking those out as well!  Of course you could always just go check out his channel for yourselves and check out the tons of reviews he’s done over the years!
