Night Slashers Longplay (Arcade) [4K] 

I just watched over 30 minutes of a cybernetic warrior piledrive vampires in the dirt. I have no regrets.

As someone who grew up in the arcade culture of the late 80's / early 90's, I've never even HEARD of this game...but its soundtrack fucking RULES.

Jake would have significantly more money if he stopped throwing away those expensive coats before every fight.

Imagine meeting the Grim Reaper...then proceeding to pile driver him to oblivion

One of those so many arcade-only games that I would have loved to see on Saturn or PS1. LONG LIVE DATA EAST.

If you ever felt the urge to suplex a zombie, this is the game for you!

"You won't be transforming anybody, buddy!" He said, over the hotdog on the floor.

this gives off intense JoJo vibes like all the main characters remind me of the protagonists

OMG! I totally forgot about this game! Didn't even remember its existence up until now! It's been like... 25+ years since the last time I played this in the arcades. It was one of my favorites and I can now see why. Thank goodness I pressed the video mostly out of curiosity. Thank you for uploading. Thank RU-vid for suggesting me this. It's like I've opened a memory chest I forgot I ever had.

I always love the "winners dont do drugs" on a quarter eater designed for you to lose

If you can't piledriver your way out of a situation, you aren't piledrivering hard enough

This game is totally underrated and deserves more love. This game is like the perfect blend between a beat em up and a horror game. Its like if you were to combine Final Fight with elements of Castlevania and Resident Evil. Honestly, this game is perfect. Shame it never had any sequels.

That soundtrack is fucking rockin'!

Listen close. Jake says "Back to the abyss!" when he piledrives an enemy.

Bombastic soundtrack, juicy art, cool characters/bosses. No politics. Back then gamers know how to have fun.

I'm so glad they released this on the Switch. Worth every penny and a staple of my Halloween gaming repertoire!

Night slashers sounds like a gang of serial killers

Night Slashers or "A Very Jojo Halloween"

"Winners don't use drugs, they sell it"

If Ken, Jax, and Zangief had a love-child.

Best 36 minutes of my life.

i have a feeling the premise and especially cristopher were somewhat inspired by phantom blood, but kinda even more crazy and over the top

The '90s were a glorious time to be young.

This game looks so bad ass! I would have loved this as a kid!

Can we appreciate how this guy beat an entire game without dying?

"winners don't use drugs" how come today's games don't have that iconic beginning 😆.

Seeing “Winners don’t use drugs” at the beginning of arcade games again makes me feel old

This arcade was very funny and so underrated. I remember playing this with a friend and are some great memories, thanks for the nostalgia.

Never heard of this game! Thanks for introducing me, really miss this era of 2D gaming.

This is in my top 10 beat'em'ups. It's definitely a great one that slipped through the cracks into obscurity.

Big fan of anything Halloween and/or horror themed. I love the level design and the soundtrack of the game. Grew up in the 90's with SNES and Genesis, but unfortunately never heard of or played this. Thanks for the upload!

Simon Belmont may have wall chicken, but Jake has graveyard hotdogs. :-)

OMG! I was 8 years old when I played this beauty in Italia. But I did not remember the name of this masterpiece and today I accidentally found it. Finally! P.S: I am 37 years old now :D

Played this game with my friend as an Arcade machine in the early 2000s. One the hardest games ever to finish. Greate memories 💯💯💯🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen

"Winners don't use drugs" I miss that little tidbit of a lie from arcade cabinets😂

That Stage 3 music is pretty rocking.

i never heard about this game before. Get it into your head: Data East never did a bad game, when you see the Data East logo, guaranteed you will play an awesome game.

I love Data East games, this is no exception - not to mention all their games have awesome music. Supernatural Final Fight with zombies and monsters. This game left a lifetime impression on me, especially after playing it at the arcade as a kid. Thanks for the upload.

Hey that's a cool beat 'em up game thanks for sharing..It reminds me Capcom's games like Alien vs Predator and Captain Commando..

How could i NOT know about this game until now?? Thanks so much for posting!!

This game is wonderful in every way. A 2D with anime style reminiscent of the art of Tetsuo Hara... It deserves a sequel or a remake.

Absurdly good pixel art

This game needs to be released on the PS 4 arcade archives it's a real tight beat um up keep bringing the best

Use to love browsing the arcades with games like this. Problem being I ran out of change each time. Always happy to see these games played and completed.

I love that one of the ads in the sporting arena advertises for "Murderer Chainsaws" with the slogan "Oh! What have I done!"

Enemies death sound : *(Tin Can Opened)*

That Van looks familiar😂✔️👍🏾💯

this is SICK.👌i love the gore effects Data East brought many of those 2D sidescrollers back in the days& they were all fire

Jake is such a good character. I don't think I can ever pick any of the others.

36 years and I'm still a real winner. Thanks, DE.

The games alot harder then it looks too. The dude playing is just really good.

Wow I’ve never seen this before. This would’ve been an easy favourite as a lad!

It cracks me up how the zombies come down the elevators.

They randomly had this cabinet at a Mr. Gattis in a town in West Texas. I always watched/played constantly looking over my shoulder because I knew that if my Mom caught me I would get in trouble.

Love it! True Arcade Feelings, my dreamplace to be!

*its official Nintendo has a demo version of the remake of this game right now it's basically the same Graphics that Streets of Rage 4 but it's only a demo right now the trailer is out now it's called night slashers remake!*

The music on stage 1 is really good. They knew how to make first impressions.

Ah, the classic side-scroller games. Good times.

34:47 cr1tical starts to do his signature scream

This would make a great '80s anime. I'm surprised I've never heard of it!

They had this in the waiting room of a haunted house me and my buddy pumped so many quarters in before it was our turn to go in great memories

This game was awesome like captain comando

I don't know how I missed this growing up! Fuck, I would've played this if the arcades i went to had em!

Looks fantastic! And of course Jake has the stars and stripes on his back fitting to his 80s glam metal hair. :D Thanks for the video!

This game’s art reminds me of Jojo

A gruosome arcade game, i can tell you that. The bloodiest horror arcade game, i have ever played, is Splatterhouse. Happy Halloween 🎃 from Finland 🇫🇮. 😺👍

Hell Yeh Data East. My favourite coin op developer after Sega.

3:05 I like that zombies are using the elevator

Love the way they do the gore in this game. Gory, but not ridiculous

Omg, i still remember play this game long time ago. One of my favorit

This would make an excellent Netflix movie/series

Jake: “I was Canadian Destroyering before Canadian Destroyering was cool.”

this is the perfect time to make it these as a film.❤

The ability to grab bosses and slam them into the ground is epic.

My goodness! I used to play this jewel at my local 7/11. 😃

We used to play this game all of the time during sunday school. Those were the days

This was a free machine back in the arcade

I've played video games since the Atari 2600,.Collecovision, c64 up to my current ps4, I'm not a hoarder and have loads of emulators so that's how I play old favourites. Anyway I only discovered this one 2 yrs ago and I'm pleased I did it's a belter and has a brilliant FM synth soundtrack with some sampling in the mix

The game feels like an awesome low budget movie, the graphic violence I have mixed thoughts about but still a rocking game 11/10

Cool looking zombies. Thanks for showing this game, Night Slashers. I haven't seen this game before. Looks good in the NEO GEO SNK style.

These graphics man, I came here to tell you that the old graphics can't be topped, I just played and finished the remake, it doesn't feel the same

Sad they never released this for PS2 or even switch. SUCh a great game! GJ!

19:02 Ah yes, the Column Fellas

This is what The Walking Dead was missing: a dude with Robot Arms beating the crap out of zombies...

Wow it means so much to me to see this me and my brother used to go to this barcade type place our friends dad owned we would play this for sometime as the bar was closed during afternoons it had the low all around lights bright screen loud speakers on this one and a ice cold surge . Thank you

Min. 4:44 "Kinniku Buster"

I'm another one who'd never heard of this game before. It's like Splatterhouse and Captain Commando had a baby.

12:48 "you'll never defeat EVIL Trevor Belmont the 145th!"

I played this on arcade cabinet in 90s and looked amazing.

i love taht they gave you an intro on their abilities im gonna hae to find this game

I had never heard of this game and didn't know it existed. I'm glad I came across this on RU-vid! The gameplay looks pretty generic, but the theme (Final Fight in Castlevania land, kind of), great pixel art, and super catchy soundtrack really make up for it. I would have loved to get a port of it for my Saturn back in the day...

ahh yes data east was one of my best bet when it comes to arcades before

'TIIIIIIIME TO CLEAN IT UP!'

Omg I remember this game I think it was either 1992 or 1993 at the Jerry’s Nugget Casino they had an arcade while parents gamble lol.

BRO THIS GAME RIPS, HOW TF I NEVER HEARD OF IT. It's got this ETERNAL CHAMPIONS vibe but way sicker.

HOOLY SHIT! i thought i made this arcade game up to a friend while stoned! to the name downloader!

A Data East fez muitos jogos bons para arcade nos anos 90! Muito de seus jogos fizeram parte da minha adolescência! Uma pena ela ter falido....

What a great game, never heard of it. Hot dogs, hot ham, horror creatures, cool soundtrack and suplexing the crap out of anyone who stands in your way! Hell yeah

4:13 food in arcade games always looked good, lol
