My fiance and i walked away from collecting nes games the big you tube channels ruined when they started creating a buzz around certain games to artificially inflate the prices ive personally caught two selling games at inflated prices online i wont reveal there names the whole video game collecting scene is one big $#!+ show of scammers and conartists in the end all collectors sell off parts in some cases all of there collections and dont break even that being said if your collecting thinking its an investment its not remember all first releases were 50 dollars each most of which now sell for less than 20 bucks each and sit for awhile before they sell
it wasnt underated at all it was big hit in its day i never cared for it though the difficulty is brutal i start playing it but cant hold my interest long enough to finish it
@ fair enough. I said that bc I feel like when I see these top 10s, it’s just not on there. I also feel like people nowadays don’t talk about it as much. Could be a me thing which i acknowledge
@@MrGameAndDvD Npt really sure what kind of Yt. videos your interested in but i hope you see fit to come by and check my channel out ive got a couple of video game videos on my channel
They are challenging games but StarTropics and the sequel Zoda's Revenge are perhaps some of the most impressive NES releases that deserve a mention. Great video, cheers++
I remember renting Star Tropics every weekend for 3 months when I was a kid at a place called "Ray's video", they ended up giving me the game because I rented it so much I could have bought it twice 😂
also the controls for super mario bros. 3 were so refined and improved from the first super mario bros. that it felt very natural with realistic physics.
Outstanding list. SMB3, Zelda, and MM2 are almost always in the top 3 of most lists. The original Super Mario and Metroid are iconic, nostalgia places them higher than they deserve imo. Your honoroble mentions are better.
Clash at Demonhead Crystalis These two games get little praise, but considering they were released on the NES. Both of them did push the envelope at that time.
Ok so for me, Wizards and warriors 3, fantastic adventures of dizzy, Duck tales, Adventure Island 2 and 3, TMNT 2 and 3, Batman return, BATTLETOADS!, Jackal, FF 3! And Cpt Tsubasa vol 2, are missing i know its a lot and its hard to choose only 10 best games, but for me absolute best that are missing i think Battle toads, Wozards and warriors 3 and Fantastic adventures of dizzy, and i would definetely remove Punch out, castlevania 3 and first mario game
As I'm only a fan of only 3 games on this list, plus 1 honorable mention - somehow, 80 posters on 3 platforms doesn't seem like a good enough sample. 😒
I agree with you on that the thing about reddit that website is by liars for liars so you probably imagine a lot of sucky games are mentioned there in hopes creating a buzz to inflate prices
Good list, I also like: Double Dragon 2 TMNT (it's awesome, not sure why people dislike it other than it's hard but practically all nes games are hard lol) Cobra Triangle Super Spike Volleyball 1943
My personal top ten would include SMB 3, Zelda, Tetris, Dr. Mario, Contra, Metroid, Batman, SMB, and I'm not sure about what I'd put in the last couple slots. I'd definitely leave out SMB2 and Zelda 2, though.
Heres my top ten list of nes games. 10 being lowest 1 being highest. 10. Aniticipation 09.Jeopardy any variant 08.Wheel of fortune Any variant 07.The adventures of Lolo 06.Batman the video game 05.Mike tysons punchout /Punchout 04.Super c (contra 2) 03. Castlevania 2 02.The legend of Zelda 01. super Mario brothers Notable mentions/not necessarily honorable Famiclone bootleg carts dejavu Shadowgate 1943 Codename viper
I agree with Contra, Castlevania, Punchout and Mega Man. While I do like them, Super Mario Bros and Zelda are not in my personal top 10 but I'm not dumb enough to argue them making the list. The only one I'm just not a fan of is Metroid. As much as I like the Metroidvania style Castlevanias, I just can't get into Metroid itself, any of them. 🤷♂
Here’s my top 10: 10. WURM: Journey to the Center of the Earth 9. Final Fantasy 8. Duck Tales 7. Super Mario 2 (USA) 6. Metroid 5. Mike Tyson Punch Out 4. Contra 3. Mega Man 2 2. Legend of Zelda 1. Super Mario 3
Replace Contra with Super C, MegaMan 2 with MegaMan 5, Metroid with Blaster Master, throw Kirby's Adventure on the main list, get rid of the Zelda games, and throw in Gimmick and River City Ransom.
Zelda 2 sold big but is not one of the best titles on the system, I don’t know who was saying that. Miyamoto doesn’t consider that a real Zelda game and considers it bad. If you want to beat it all you have to do is keep killing stuff until you’re all maxed out and keep hitting 9000 points which generates a 1-up.
It’s torture, they put bullshit pit deaths in it for some reason. In every other Zelda game if you fall in a hole it just takes some health off but in Zelda 2 you’re dead like Mario. Why in the name of fuck they would do that I have no idea and every time you game over it’s back to the start until you make it to the final level.
No surprises and all seems about right about this list. Dragon Warrior never got much love in North America like it did in Japan but in my opinion Dragon Warrior 3 and 4 are better than Final Fantasy. Actually I kinda enjoyed all 4 Dragon Warriors at least as much as Final Fantasy if not more.
I personally can't differentiate Mega Man 2 from Mega Man 3. Both great Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game, Double Dragon 2 and 3, Mortal Kombat 2 and 3, Bases Loaded, and Ice Hockey all deserve at least honorable mention. I did not like Metroid.
I also have my personal Top 10 NES games: th-cam.com/video/FjPcZrjRGeA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this video. I'm currently collecting for the NES and this video list helps a lot.
My fiance and i walked away from collecting nes games the big you tube channels ruined when they started creating a buzz around certain games to artificially inflate the prices ive personally caught two selling games at inflated prices online i wont reveal there names the whole video game collecting scene is one big $#!+ show of scammers and conartists
in the end all collectors sell off parts in some cases all of there collections and dont break even that being said if your collecting thinking its an investment its not remember all first releases were 50 dollars each most of which now sell for less than 20 bucks each and sit for awhile before they sell
Super Mario Bros 3! My favourite game. I have played it on innumerable occasions. Awesome!
Castlevania 3 is a pleasant surprise. I love it, always felt like it was underrated
it wasnt underated at all it was big hit in its day i never cared for it though the difficulty is brutal i start playing it but cant hold my interest long enough to finish it

Best game on the system.
They are challenging games but StarTropics and the sequel Zoda's Revenge are perhaps some of the most impressive NES releases that deserve a mention. Great video, cheers++
I would have to second that! 💫 🌴
I remember renting Star Tropics every weekend for 3 months when I was a kid at a place called "Ray's video", they ended up giving me the game because I rented it so much I could have bought it twice 😂
also the controls for super mario bros. 3 were so refined and improved from the first super mario bros. that it felt very natural with realistic physics.
I've beaten super mario brothers 3 and gone the entire game without winning that face slot machine. lol
I think I'm very experienced in this game and never do those dumb things.
I really enjoy your videos. You are very knowledgeable about games and your production quality is top notch.
Both the StarTropic games would be in my top 10. The music in Zoda’s revenge is the best Nintendo music in my opinion.
I would replace all the honourable mentions for Goonies II, Cstlevania II Simons Quest and Gradius
Outstanding list. SMB3, Zelda, and MM2 are almost always in the top 3 of most lists. The original Super Mario and Metroid are iconic, nostalgia places them higher than they deserve imo. Your honoroble mentions are better.

Duck hunt should have been on this list.
Super Mario bros/duck hunt my first game I ever owned along with baseball.

The only one I'm just not a fan of is Metroid. As much as I like the Metroidvania style Castlevanias, I just can't get into Metroid itself, any of them. 🤷♂
Ninja Gaiden goes in.
Metroid drops out.
Here’s my top 10:
10. WURM: Journey to the Center of the Earth
9. Final Fantasy
8. Duck Tales
7. Super Mario 2 (USA)
6. Metroid
5. Mike Tyson Punch Out
4. Contra
3. Mega Man 2
2. Legend of Zelda
1. Super Mario 3
Where's the Tetris love? Great list, but this feels like a glaring omission.
It’s not spoiling to me, I just don’t have time.
I never was able to get a star in Super Mario Bros. that made me invisible
Yo Yo Yo dawg....I'm not here to whine...I'm doing the 10 best NES games of all time....word
Replace Contra with Super C, MegaMan 2 with MegaMan 5, Metroid with Blaster Master, throw Kirby's Adventure on the main list, get rid of the Zelda games, and throw in Gimmick and River City Ransom.
No DQ3 is blasphamy
Nobody, NOBODY seems to like The Battle of Olympus!
I’m amazed Zelda 2 made the top ten. It wouldn’t even make my top 50. The NES just has too much great competition.
Yeah it's definitely a polarizing game
I looooooove Zelda II; it’s only not as good as the first game and had a steep difficulty so it might shake off the casuals.
Zelda II>>>Metroid.
Would've switched 2 and 3.
Lol 😅 you got me on 5 lol.
Zelda 2 sold big but is not one of the best titles on the system, I don’t know who was saying that. Miyamoto doesn’t consider that a real Zelda game and considers it bad. If you want to beat it all you have to do is keep killing stuff until you’re all maxed out and keep hitting 9000 points which generates a 1-up.
Zelda 2 was not a fun game to play, and nowhere near as good as the first one.
And no one has ever called it their favorite.
It’s torture, they put bullshit pit deaths in it for some reason. In every other Zelda game if you fall in a hole it just takes some health off but in Zelda 2 you’re dead like Mario. Why in the name of fuck they would do that I have no idea and every time you game over it’s back to the start until you make it to the final level.
Take away super Mario 2 and add Dragon Warrior.
Double Dragon 🐲
Dragon Warrior 4 not even being an honorable mention is just awful.
I'd remove Zelda 2. And for consideration of a replacement...
Blaster Master or Ninja Gaiden 2
No surprises and all seems about right about this list. Dragon Warrior never got much love in North America like it did in Japan but in my opinion Dragon Warrior 3 and 4 are better than Final Fantasy. Actually I kinda enjoyed all 4 Dragon Warriors at least as much as Final Fantasy if not more.
I would remove Punch out and replace it with Ducktales.
1) Super Mario Bros.
2) Kirby's Adventure
3) SMB3
4) Zelda
5) SMB2
6) Tetris
7) Mega Man 2
8) Metroid
9) Contra
10) Star Tropics
lol you're hired not. where is the castlevania
@johnny711 Still need to play it! It's one of many classics on the list.
Noice!
Zelda II doesn’t belong here. Otherwise hard to argue with this, though I personally might enjoy 11-20 just as much. The library is deep.
I almost threw my phone when super grove ball hit, most disappointing game I ever got
Get rid of Metroid and put in Little Nemo
your auto chapter prevention is what's ruining this video... might want to rethink your policy there
I personally can't differentiate Mega Man 2 from Mega Man 3. Both great
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game, Double Dragon 2 and 3, Mortal Kombat 2 and 3, Bases Loaded, and Ice Hockey all deserve at least honorable mention.
I did not like Metroid.
