Batman: Return of the Joker for the NES is often cited as the best-looking game on the platform. Sunsoft utilized advanced graphical techniques to create detailed backgrounds and large, fluidly animated sprites. The gameplay deviates from the first title by focusing on ranged combat with the 'Sonic Neutralizer' and other projectile weapons. Across seven challenging stages—ranging from snow-capped mountains to high-tech bases—Batman must dismantle the Joker's army. It is a legendary action game that stands as a testament to the power of the NES in its twilight years.
