Episode 102
Willow is a surprisingly good Action RPG for the NES! it looks a lot like the Legend of Zelda, and it features that same great sword swinging action. Beyond that, this game has a significantly different feel to it - Instead of solving puzzles, its more about navigating mazes, and fighting monsters to level up.
The game is very loosely based on the 1989 Willow movie directed by Ron Howard with a story by George Lucas. You might think that Lucas Arts would make this game, but it was actually developed by a top team at Capcom!
So how did this game get made? In today's episode we'll find out, and then we'll dive deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:
* Where to find EVERY SWORD and SHIELD!
* The SECRET SHORTCUT that lets you skip a huge chunk of the game!
* EASY ways to LEVEL UP FAST!
* Where to find EVERY MAGIC SPELL!
* How to unlock the DEBUG MODE, and how to use it to beat the game in less than 5 minutes!
* A secret GLITCH to MAX YOUR LEVEL in minutes!
* EASY ways to defeat EVERY BOSS, even BAVMORDA herself... AND MORE!
Thanks for watching!

I missed these for sure but Jrose11 has been putting out a video a day this month, so that has kept me busy with videos to watch. The only sad part is that Pokemon runs are not good night time viewing. UCBVG is perfect to fall asleep to because I get an amazing 5 minute history, followed by some game play and then I'm out. Watching a pokemon run... well, Brock, Roxanne and Whitney are generally barriers but the climax comes at the end on Victory Road

@stewiegriffin5557 Год назад

I used to rent games like this and loved them but never could get anywhere substantial. But they never included the manual when you rented them, and there was usually info in the manual you needed or the game didn't make sense.

@MattSmith18125 Год назад

OMG 😳 I'm so glad you did this. Willow was a great game despite having nothing to do with the movie. I found it hard as a kid and didn't know what to do. But the RPG elements were solid. BTW your pup is getting big. Love the dogs.

@gamerboy6787 Год назад

Willow's family restoring his HP is the wholesome-est thing I've seen this week. :) Dude, have a safe and Happy Holiday season, thank you as always for the brief history lesson in each video, and thanks for all your hard work.

@KarmaJolt Год назад

If anyone has ever played Astalon: Tears of the Earth (a fantastic 8 bit Metroidvania) you might remember a certain cutscene that is basically just an homage to the movie Willow. I didn’t realize it at first because I saw the movie after I played Astalon, but it’s great!

@paulcampbell8696 Год назад

Great to see you cover this one. I never really got super far in this game, but it's EASILY in my top five when it comes to music. Songs from this still pop into my head more than 20 years later. Only Castlevania, Mega Man 2, and a few Sunsoft games share that dubious honor...

@jeanpaulmichell7243 Год назад

I've never been able to beat this game, but I have great memories of watching my grandmother play it. She was also the one who played the movie for me since I was wee. Hope you're enjoying the new show, if that's your thing!

@Tannlore Год назад

I still remember playing this game as a kid, guide in hand, and loving every minute of it. So many great memories.

@MotherKojiro Год назад

I love this one so much that I ripped the sprites for Spriters' Resource. This is a great Action-Adventure title that has what is, for my money, quite possibly the greatest adventuring tune ever written; it starts out with a heroic feel to it, and slowly fades into a wistful notion of absorbing all the sights and sounds that pass you by on your quest. Funny story, too; I didn't see the movie until about 2004 or so, but had been playing this since it was brand new. The whole reason I watched the movie is that my significant other was a huge fan, and we'd had this long conversation about Willow, where neither knew what the other was talking about, since I hadn't realized how different the game was. Turns out I didn't care for the movie, but still love the game, so I'd definitely recommend it to anyone into top-down Action-Adventure titles.

@yeahyeahwowman8099 Год назад

The only reason I rented Willow back in the day is because it's got the Capcom label on it. The talk of controls or fun factor comes up in games, Capcom was one of the kings.

@HylianFox3 Год назад

The Spriters Resource is great, I've ripped quite a number of favorite NES games myself.

@lawrencemcstephens308 Год назад

I was so pumped to see this in my RU-vid news feed! This is one of my favorite NES games, and was one of the first ones I repurchased after selling most of my video game collection off in the late 2000s early 2010s. It's not a perfect game, but it is so fun and engrossing, and of course being made by Capcom, it has a phenomenal soundtrack and overall excellent presentation for an NES game.

@PhilInTheBlanks Год назад

This is a nice surprise, Willow is such and underrated game for the NES.

@cassandralyris4918 Год назад

I loved this game growing up. Took my cousin and I a good 3 years to figure it out. We had no manual or guides to go off of. Man, getting to Bavmorta without enough magic the first time was soul crushing. As an adult the only thing that bothers me now is that they spelled Saoirse's name "Sorsha". Oof...

@leqesai Год назад

They spelled her name the same way it is listed on the credits to the new TV show and the 1988 film...

Bro, I LOVE your videos! I played almost every single one you've featured (the NES ones, at least) when they first came out on the NES when I was a kid! And Willow was one that my cousin and I used to play A LOT. Thank you so much, your videos always hit me right in the nostalgia, and bring back great memories that I haven't thought about in years. The only thing I can think of to make them any better would be if you broke it down into "chapters" so I could skip right to the levels/areas that are giving me trouble, instead of having to skip around manually. Other than that, they are amazingly close to perfection! Can't wait to see a Mega Man series (especially Mega Man 3, my personal favorite along side Mega Man 2), if you ever feel so inclined to make it, lol. Again, great videos, keep up the amazing work!

@TheCrescentKnight Год назад

One small correction about that ending segment about Capcom developing the Minish Cap, they actually worked on more than just the Minish Cap. They also made both Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages and from what I understand it was Capcom who approached Nintendo on developing these games since a lot of staff at Capcom where big fans of the Zelda series. In fact their idea was to make three Oracle games (each one representing one of the pieces of the Triforce) with the ability to transfer data between each entry to create a full story, unfortunately the third game had to be scraped due to the difficulty of developing three full games with data transfer between them.

I played this game a lot with a buddy of mine who had it, back when we were in our early teens. It was in the mid 90s, but he happened to have the game, we both loved playing old NES games, he lived across the street and a shared love of the film was one of the things we bonded over.

@Prodmullefc Год назад

27:12 Whoa! Look at the size of those bees! This game must have really taken advantage of the higher tier of the onscreen sprite limitations. All the characters and monsters are so big and detailed. Even Willow himself is a really creatively done and colorful cluster of sprites. Man, I wish I had gotten this game for my birthday as a kid like I asked lol.

1:18:41 The monster you described in this segment about the spell of renewal: it always had a special place in my heart ever since my dad showed me the movie. I adore big puppet monsters, and that grotesque beast was no exception. It's macabre origin combined with their TERRIFYING appearance made that scene particularly memorable!

@icydemon03 Год назад

I remember owning this game as a kid on our NES, when I was about 6 or 7. I couldn't get past the first two snake monsters in the forest, and I thought one of them was supposed to be Bogarda himself, lol. Of course, as a kid, I gave up and moved onto other games, but something always called to me that I wish I had stuck with this title and finished it. Never looked up walkthroughs or anything because I held out hope I'd play it again someday and beat it on my own. But when I saw it pop up here, I couldn't resist watching, as I knew I'd get in depth information on all the characters, storyline, and even production on the title. To this day, I have never seen the movie, but with the announcement of the new Willow series coming out, I feel like it's a call to truly dive into the lore of this franchise, and I look forward to it. Thanks for the video, and here's holding out hope for a re-release from Nintendo to accompany the series!
