Description

"Batman Forever," released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1995, is a side-scrolling action game that incorporates elements of beat 'em up and platform genres. Developed by Probe Entertainment and published by Acclaim Entertainment, the game is based on the movie of the same name, featuring characters and settings that mirror its cinematic counterpart. Players assume the roles of either Batman or Robin to thwart the nefarious plans of The Riddler and Two-Face. Throughout various levels, they navigate through Gotham City, battling a host of enemies and solving puzzles that require gadgets synonymous with the Dark Knight.

The game is notable for its unique visual style, which utilized digitized sprites of actors, similar to those seen in contemporary fighting games like "Mortal Kombat." This choice was meant to give the game a more realistic look, aligning it closely with the aesthetics of the film. "Batman Forever" uses a control scheme known as "Virtua Fighter" style controls, which was relatively complex for its time, combining multiple button presses to execute special moves and use gadgets. While innovative, this control setup was also a source of frustration for many players, as it could be unintuitive and clunky. Despite these challenges, "Batman Forever" remains an interesting artifact of its era, reflecting both the growing pains and ambitions of mid-90s video game development.
