- In a previous episode, I covered the longest NES games, in fact it's my highest viewed episode, at almost 90K views. But one of the common complaints about it, was that it was dominated by RPGs, and that was the unfortunate nature of the beast. I was asked to work on a video that omitted those, and from that we have a wonderful episode dedicated to the LONGEST, non-rpg games on the platform!

Now we need a longest Non-RPG, Non-Battle, and Non-Sports NES games list.
When you say "non-battle" what do you mean? Like no Turn Based Strategies? Just trying to clarify so I can get it in rotation for you.
@@Fortefyreagreed
I know, right? The video could have been titled "Bases Loaded and Romance of the Three Kingdoms games are long."
Haha, I so could have.
Oh God... being French you cracked me up so bad with that Napoleon impression! Golden 😂
Haha I'm glad you liked it.
Good luck finding a working Miracle Piano set
So interestingly, the NES and PC pianos are the same. Maybe a PC set would work.
Bases Loaded II umpire sounds like he’s saying “You’re a!”
What am I, ump? Don’t keep me in suspense! lol
I thought he said "you're a bum" lmao. Glad I'm not the only one who mishears it haha.
@@Fortefyre If you strike out in the first Bases Loaded game when the bases are loaded, the umpire does taunt you by saying “You bum! You’re out!”
To play through the entire original NES Super Mario Bros. 3 seemed to take forever! With no save points,after World 2 the worlds got longer and longer.
I kept my NES powered on for several days
You made a good point on the baseball games. I can't tell you how many sports games I tried so hard to play through and beat and just got exhausted before the seasons ended. You know you are getting older when you start to hit the simulate games button until you get to the playoffs. I wonder if there s fanfare for a top 10 games my parents looked at the box and said "Yeah, I am not letting you play that game" Good video sir. Bravo Monsieur.......see what I did there?😆
Added to the list *laughs in french*
You play the piano too? True Renaissance man.
I had Bases Loaded II. I think the furthest I ever made it into a season before I got bored was about 40 games. Pretty sure I was playing as Utah. They had a lot of pitchers with funky deliveries, sidearmers and stuff, so it made them a little more fun to use.
Some of the longest games I remember playing:
Solar Jetman - The world record speedrun for clearing all 12 levels of this game is about 53 minutes, which feels inconceivable to me; between the brutal difficulty and the nasty physics engine I can remember spending well over an hour just trying to clear a single level, and that’s without having to continue because of losing all my lives.
Ring King - Now this game doesn’t have a clear-cut ending, but if you set the parameters for beating the game at “training your boxer all the way up to 99 skill points and becoming world champion” then it’s going to take a long, long time to hit both of those goals. You have to win anywhere from 3-5 training bouts per skilll point that you earn, plus fighting your way up the championship ladder, so even if you go totally undefeated you still have to fight hundreds of boxing matches to hit both of those goals. I owned this game and got my boxer built up pretty high, but not all the way to “completion.”
Rampage - One time when I borrowed this game (can’t remember if it was a rental or if I borrowed it from a friend) I decided that I was going to complete all 128 days. I don’t even know how long it actually took. I wasn’t timing myself. I just know that it felt like it dragged on interminably for hours on end. I was so bored by the time I finally cleared the last stage that I didn’t even celebrate; just watched it loop back to stage 1 and shut the console off with a feeling of relief.
Solar Jetman was probably the most ambitious out of the ones you mentioned lol.
I keep thinking of this channel as one of the 'big ones' in retro gaming. It boggles my mind every time I see your subscriber count and realize you're still a plucky little upstart. >.>
Haha, that's how life works. I'm glad you enjoy it though.
flappy on the famicom is a puzzle game thats almost 4 hours long
I've heard that's a good one! Hopefully at some point I'll handle Famicom releases.
Yup, can confirm Shingen the Ruler takes that long to beat. And as I said before, one of my favorites.
It's a solid one!
Bases Loaded is one of my favorite baseball games. I like how when there was a new pitcher they rode in a car.
Haha this is true!
The longest game I remember beating from the old days that had no save or password was Rampage. I would also include River City Ransom as you need to grind a lot of cash to level up your character.
That's a long one too!
Nobunaga's Ambition is probably the longest game I played. Can take over 100 hours.
I believe it!
I never played more than 1 game at a time in Pennant mode in the original Bases Loaded, but to this day it’s still my favorite baseball game. Sure the fielding is bad like most NES baseball games, but better than many others. The heart of the game is pitching and hitting, I love the control you have over pitches and you can learn what pitches the ump will call as a strike even if they are WAY off the plate. The key is any pitch you throw whose shadow passes over the plate no matter how high or low will be called a strike
That's a great pro tip there. I wonder if it ended up in Nintendo power haha.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who refers to it as "Baseball Simulator One" instead of "One Thousand." It's a decimal point, not a comma, people!
Right!?!?!
In Europe the decimal takes the place of a comma in large numbers. But software in those days rarely had thousands of patch iterations.
I'd love to know what the thought process was in naming it 1.000
Ohhhhhh that does make sense!
I never got close to beating Bases loaded 2 back then. I remember having fun with it though.
That's all that matters!
Great video. Didn’t Hot B make Super Black Bass? Loved that game. Perhaps a video more obscure sports…angling, darts, disc golf?
They did make The Blue Bass and the Black Marlin :) I'm actually working a video on top 10 alternative sports games on the NES.
@@FortefyreI constantly played both of those games as a kid.
This was a unique top 10 list! Love it. My suggestions is top 10 Metroidvania games before that was a thing. The Addams Family on the SNES comes to mind.
Great suggestion! I'll add it to the list!
Loved Romance of the three kingdoms games. Never played the NES ones but loved 4 on SNES and the newest ones are pretty sold on PC.
I ADORED 4. Hands down one of the greatest turn based games on the SNES.
How about longest NES games actually worth playing? It's a matter of taste of course, but man that was a list of games I will never put any time into.
Would be good if you could divide your videos into chapters so viewers know how long to skip to see the next entry.
I still think you made a good video and you have a pleasant speaking voice. I'm gonna check out more of what you've done.
I actually didn't know chapters where a thing, but I avoid it because it negatively affects the view metrics.
There's also a soon to be released remake of Romance 8 for modern systems but I've always had a soft spot for Romance 2, especially the SNES port. It's just a fun game when you truly know what you're doing.....
I remember capturing spies and holding them for ransom. The general battles were dope too!
I was thinking of bases loaded 2 when this one started just to win 75 games and the World Series
Yep! Stupid long!
Been waiting for this vid 😊 As I watched your stream before, have you done list of your favorite and/or worst shumps on any console? Thanks man
I need to go play romance 2,I loved romance 1 as a kid. Man I had a strange childhood.
I was big on the SNES Romance games.
Do you consider The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link RPGs? Without a guide or knowing where to go next and what you are doing, those games are very long. Same with Blaster Master and Rygar. If you don't know where to go in those games you're in for a long ride. Plus, there are no saves or passwords in Rygar and Blaster Master so if you're not comfortable leaving your NES on for hours and hours, you have to go through the whole game again in one sitting to get back to where you were. Bionic Commando is another one like Rygar and Blaster Master. I agree with @AgdaFingers we need a Non-RPG, Non-Battle, Non-Sports longest NES games list.
I do consider Zelda II to be a RPG, but I don't consider The Legend of Zelda to be one.
those games took me forever to beat as a little kid
The Nazis took Paris. For no good reason, though, like everything else they did.
Nobody made it to Paris in Napoleon's time though, that's for sure. Napoleon would've loved the bomber plane.
Oh I'm sure lol. I don't know as much as I need to about that era of history though.
The only game I can think of that wasn't on this list is Metroid. The game itself was spectacular, but I personally am not big on exploration games.
I'm a huge baseball fan and I played every one of the Bases Loaded games back in the day. My preference was Bases Loaded 3 because of how it kept track of the statistics. I had problems playing the original because of the mechanics. My favorite baseball game is Baseball Stars. Unfortunately, as I've grown older, I find it so much more difficult to get into a game that requires timing and skill. I played Ken Griffey Jr Presents MLB on the SNES the other day and got absolutely crushed.
I'll be honest with you, when I was playing BL 1 and 2, I couldn't hit a single ball, the hit detection is so incredibly wonky.
Another fun one, but Baseball Simulator *one THOUSAND* ;)
That's a decimal point Rocky lmfao.
I spent so much time playing Shingen the Ruler. Loved that game, but was never any good at it.
I have a feeling I won't be good at it either lol.
Interesting list and not exactly what I expected to see! I guess it depends on skill level, but for my money, I invested so much time in games such as Blaster Master and Super Mario Bros. 3 before I mastered them that I would say they are two of the longest games on the NES. It’s all subjective, of course, but those would be my picks!
Absolutely, and that's why I love having a conversation about it in the comments.
Does looking for a keyboard for the Miracle piano teaching game count as a game? Because that'll take a long time.
Might as well haha.
Great video and presentation, but the game selection....... Most of these are just turn-based strategy or sports titles, THREE Bases Loaded games? Why not include part 3? 😉 Heh heh. Baseball Simulator 1.000 has a 165 game season, I've done that ONCE. Plus, you have to either play, or 'Simulate' every other game to skip. And it takes bloody forever, could've put that in for one of the Bases Loaded games..... Glad you at least showed Tecmo Super Bowl. A season can take a long time (not like the baseball games though)! Track & Field II is also long and frustrating, good thing it has a password system! R.C. Pro-Am and Excitebike are also good candidates, those games don't have endings!
So, I didn't include the simulation ones like Tecmo Super Bowl or Baseball Sim 1.000 because I would never sit and watch through ever CPU game lmao.
@@Fortefyre Heh, like i said, i've done that before. NEVER again! :)
The only one worth investing all those hours in wpuld be Miracle Piano, because at least that develops a useful talent and skills.
I guess those tactical games teach you history and tactics and strategy, but they just bore me....I'd rather just play Chess.
They are incredibly slow, so I could see that.
Do those Romance games have Lu Bu? If do, they’re too hard.
They sure do.
Old baseball games that are super long, no thanks haha
Right?
Atlantis no nazo is really long, IF YOU SUCK!!!
Facts lol
Bases Loaded 2 fun times
Great times!
have played all the bases loaded but only casually.... Metroid was probably the longest game I played on the NES
Metroid is long definitely!
Can you tell me what the shooter was in the beginning at 0:43?
Starship Hector :)
Awesome! Thank you sir😎
