Play Batman 3 Online

Batman moves like a dream in this one—wall kicks, sharp batarang throws, and Gotham’s grimy streets actually feel alive. Tough as nails, but in that satisfying NES way where every death teaches you something.

Game Overview

Batman 3 on the NES is one of those late-era 8-bit games that somehow slipped under the radar—which is a shame, because it’s actually better than it has any right to be. The first thing you’ll notice is how smooth Batman moves compared to the janky first game. No more awkward floaty jumps—just clean punches, wall kicks, and that satisfying *thwack* when you land a batarang.

Gotham’s got this grimy, rain-soaked look that makes you feel like you’re flipping through a worn-out comic book. The levels throw some nasty surprises at you (that sewer section with the instant-kill spikes still haunts me), but it never feels unfair. Just old-school hard, the kind where you memorize enemy patterns after the third game over.

It’s short, yeah, but there’s something about the way the music creeps in during boss fights that makes it stick with you. If you’ve got a soft spot for forgotten NES gems, this one’s a knockout.
