NES Games with Speech

[vivaeljason]

The other day, I happened to be playing Monopoly on the Virtual NES site. I hadn't played the game in years and completely forgot that there's actual speech during gameplay in two instances (at the end of auctions, the auctioneer yells "SOLD!" and when a person leaves jail, a cop says "Don't be coming back now"). It got me wondering, what other NES games have speech in them?

Besides Monopoly, the only other game off the top of my head is Wisdom Tree's "Joshua," which was (of course) unlicensed.

EDIT: I also want to say Super Jeopardy! has brief speech from the host (most definitely NOT Alex Trebek).

M.U.L.E.

D'oh! I owned M.U.L.E. back in the day and forgot about the "welcome" voice.

Ghostbusters had some, the AVGN pointed that out in his review. I think Bart vs. The Space Mutants had some too, I haven't played it in awhile though so I might not be remembering it correctly.

If Famicom games count, Gradius II has speech. Amazing speech, for that matter. Every time you enable a power-up, the "narrator" says it's name: "Missile", "Laser", "Force Field" (the coolest one) and such.

HOLY MOTHER OF SHIT, I miss my Gradius II cart...

I think Bart vs. The Space Mutants had some too, I haven't played it in awhile though so I might not be remembering it correctly.

It does. Bart says "eat my shorts", or something like that...it's hard to understand. Gradius II had amazing samples, though...oh well.

Blades of Steel has some muddled speech.

Big Bird's Hide and Speak actually has quite a bit of speech. In fact, the entire game is voiced. And it's clear.

If my memory serves me right Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles says "cowabunga" after selecting a character, the bosses have a death scream, and one of the later stages in TNNT III has an "hey!" sample in the music.

Wow, no has said Double Dribble yet

[Aussie2B]

I think S.C.A.T. has the most impressive voice I've heard in an NES game. Crystal clear. Although The Adventures of Bayou Billy is a favorite to impersonate in my house. :P

How has nobody said pinbot yet?

[jcalder8]

I can't believe it took so long for Bases loaded to get the nod.

[ryborg]

Blades of Steel has some muddled speech

It'sAPass!It'sAPass!It'sAPass!It'sAPass!It'sAPass! It'sAPass!It'sAPass!It'sAPass!
It'sAPass!It'sAPass!It'sAPass!It'sAPass!It'sAPass! It'sAPass!It'sAPass!It'sAPass!

I mentioned this a couple months ago, but there's a Famicom RPG based around some Japanese king famous for his travels with sound. Made by Sunsoft sometime around / before 1985 (flyer for it is found in Ikki).

[Blitzwing256]

ikari warriors 2:victory road is another one with speach (horrible speach but its there)
karate champ BEGIN! STOP! JUDGE!

[vivaeljason]

This list is already a hell of a lot longer than I thought it would be, which is great. And it's sad because I owned a lot of these games (Bart vs. the Space Mutants, the Turtles games, Tecmo Super Bowl, etc.) and TOTALLY forgot about the voices.

[GrandAmChandler]

I have said it constantly over and over again. This is the best technical use of speech on the NES.
