love this going backwards from best to worst....much better way to see all the games. thanks for doing this!
anyone can help me i looking for a game , i dont remind dhe name but the first mission his jump from helicopter and fight in train, its like a contra type game plss help me i love so much that game i cant remember the name
it feels like the seats were assigned at random
Yeah, the top 50 are okay. After that, it is kind of random.
@@overthemountain90 No, it's not okay. It goes like "more popular and known games" way in top places. That's not the actual quality of the games.
Kind of inevitable with a list this long. No way the list maker has played all the games to a sufficient degree to actually judge them. So they either judged lots of them based on just first impressions, or compiled various opinions from differing sources.
@@ge97aaAgree a little bit but the tmnt games so high, kid Icarus, duck hunt... It's some kind of list, but it's not a best of.
If dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde isn't listed as the worst of all, I'm calling the Angry VG Nerd.
River City Ransom should be way higher on this list imo, it’s a masterpiece
Its definitely infinitely better than duck hunt.
Same thing with Shadow of the Ninja. Should be at least top 100
Blaster Master is way too low as well
And metal gear
And goonies
Thank you so much for taking the time for this. Its incredible. Just so happened to stumble upon an old friend when i needed it 😊 3 of my all time faves to help round out the top 100, as I was waiting for them, Super Spike V-Ball, Darkwing Duck, and Shadowgate. Well played sir.
Most underrated games because of this list:
3. Elite - are you sure it's that bad?
2. Puzznic - one word. FUN!
1. Crackout - yep, I think you were on Crack when making this list
Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I'd go back to the this time in my life in a heart-beat.
me and my grandpa always played gun nac (#181) on my little plug n play rip of some nes games. Very underrated game and very very fun!!
Thanks for all that awesome work. You took me to old and dusty corners of my memory that would have remained forever lost without your videos. :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Zelda 2 was an underrated and underappreciated game.
It was loved in our age, it's modern day critics that hates it.
People don’t like it because it was too hard…. Which made it so satisfying to beat….
and battle of olympus is underrated in this list. what a great game
The best game for me on NES
@Bold_One Too difficult for you 😢
It is painfully obvious that whoever did this only played 50 of these games and then started guessing where the rest should rank
No one who's played Guardian Legend, Shatterhand, Felix the Cat, Duck Tales 2, Little Samson or Track and Field would rank them that low
I agree. The order of the games are completely random and he has no clue how to rank these NES games.
According to this, there are around 700 games ranked worse than the two WWF Wrestlemania games. I've happily played them both, but c'mon! 😅
Base Wars (1991) being outside the top 10 for me was already enough to be unforgivable. Ranking it 115th should be an actual crime.
@@MrBurn360 I remember that game. My brother and I used to rent it at the video store. It's that Robot Baseball Game. The Robots would fight each other if it was a close play at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, home.
@@BouchIsOnTheLoose702 oh it was so much fun!
Bro, I know everyone has their own opinion, and mine is probably flawed....but still......some of your rankings are out of wack my guy
I always had a soft spot for Bionic Commando for gameplay and Simon's Quest for its unbeatable music imo.
They called in Top Secret here in Asia. Great game. and you can never go wrong wit Cvania soundtracks!
38. Rampage
90. Ninja Gaiden 3
Are you serious?
Apparently the creator wasn't at all serious. And I'm sounding like a broken record, but Excitebike was at #19 which is ahead of Castlevania II and III, Zelda II, ALL the Dragon Warriors, Crystalis, Kirby's Adventure, Battletoads, Shatterhand, etc.... Rampage is also ahead of Ninja Gaiden II. @@907LUNA
wow, TH-cam really just censored the *_Japanese_* name of *_Bionic Commando_* ??? ...That's crossing the line, imo !!!
Nice compilation, but the ranks feels like it’s almost completely thrown together randomly after the beginning.
Happy to see Zelda 2 and Castlevania 2 score as high as they did. I love those two games and they often get so much hate.
Back in the day we loved them… it’s the modern day critics that put all the hate out there…
My brothers and I loved Zelda 2.
Agree
Z2 is garbage
Gradius BEFORE Life Force ? Track' n' Field ONE BEFORE the mighty Track' n' Field II ??
These second episodes were so much more advanced than the 1st,... (And I think you did the same with Dble Dragon). Man, you're not serious !! xD
I quitted at 200, Nice ranking in general; just think that Snake Rattle N Roll could have been a lot sooner :)
Had forgotten about mighty final fight. Thanks for brining it up.
In general, I agree with the ranking.
Legacy of the Wizard (#194) might be the game I logged the most playtime on of all games I've ever played in 30+ years. The puzzles were complex for a 12 year old but I pressed on diligently. I think I spent all of 7th and 8th grade playing that game. Great memories.
I thought it was too easy to go barking up the wrong tree. If you took the wrong character to the wrong section you could spend hours and hours wandering around only to find out there's no way to succeed.
That game just seemed to go on forever. Needless to say, I never beat it.
I have a vivid memory of spending endless hours in one of the realms playing the daughter character (because she jumped the highest I think) and I finally got to the crown which was the goal, only to be separated by a single block that I couldn't pass through. Endless hours and to be so close....so close.....and so far away.
All my childhood in one place . Those were the days 😊
I was born in 88, had a new since as young as I can remember but after my parents divorced we were poor and I had to play nes until like 1995/96 and but the SNES was always where it was at for me, nes just sucked imo and I loved going to my buddies or cousins house and playing snes
Very impressive. Also an interesting alternative to "worst to best", as it is usually the case with such rankings.
A bit of a let-down, though, as you know that the games will be badder and badder
That is true. But lets be honest most people start at the end of the video when it's worst to best. At least i do.@@Grind24hours
@@Grind24hours I find it more interesting because you already know roughly what games are going to be at the top. Not so much with obscure shovelware.
Did you expect Excitebike to be at #19, AHEAD of Castlevania 2-3, and Zelda II? You can't possibly agree with that one@@looker999997
Instead of quibbling over rankings, I essentially used this very enjoyable montage as a trip down memory lane. The faintest and most distant of memories came burning back to mind 🔥
Great video, I love checking these games out and then playing them on emulators.
MY OLD CLASSIC MEMORIES OF 2004 -213 ARE REFRESHED BY WATCHING THIS VIDEO
THANKYOU BRO FOR MAKING THISH VIDEO
😍😍😀😀😌😌😘😘😉😉👍👍❤❤🙏🙏
Man! Ranking every NES game known to man must have been no easy task!
Also almost all of the list is WRONG.
@@the-NightStar Your opinion is not the end-all-be-all!
I understand ranking is a matter of opinion, but WWF Wrestlemania at #93 is just plain ridiculous. That bird turd should be at least 400 -500.
They most likely just threw some games in at random to fill some spots. No, it should be between 750 and 800.
Excellent list to prepare my retro console to play as a NES
Glad to see Ikari Warriors getting some love. One of my favorite games that I feel is very underrated because people don't understand how to play it.
i need this but worst to best.
Thank you for taking the time to do this!!! Thats all.
Very good video. Regardless of rank good editing.
Thanks for the great content. I will say I hated Zelda 2 as a kid, but I absolutely love it now and find myself going back to that one more than any other NES game. I would not rank it higher than the original or the majority consensus of the top 10, but it would make my top 10 for sure (over say TMNT the arcade game). I like the original TMNT over the arcade game despite its difficulty. Tecmo Super Bowl would also make my top top and I love that it was #11 on yours. The Dragon Warriors, Star Tropics, Crystalis, Kung Fu, and Wizard and Warriors are all higher for me, but really enjoyed your efforts ranking 800 games! Kudos!
I always loved Zelda 2 but I understand the hate on it. I'm just amazed at DUCK TAILS being 15 when literally Defender of the Crowd can be played forever & never be boring.
Kirby adventure need to be top 20 for sure, no way is bellow that.
I disagree with so many of these but it's not my list. Great job on taking so much time and effort on this video. Job well done
I'm impressed, this clearly took a long time. I'm looking for Rollerblade Racer in the top 10 but can't seem to find it...
That's because you were looking at the wrong end.
Weeee!
For my taste there are too many sport games in the top and so many classics and underrated games in the buttom area. But solid list.
Dude Rescue: The Embassy Mission was DOOOOOPE. NO WAY it's that low.
Some of the rankings are wack. Dragon Warrior 3, River City Ransome, and a bunch more games ranked too far down. Fun video overall, thanks for making it
Thank you for reminding me of my childhood memories 😊😊😊
Thanks for sharing this 😊
You have some questionable picks, but I loved watching this till the end.
Battle toads and paperboy above Dragon Warrior??? Dragon Warrior was the first RPG on the console market and brought a lot of things to the genre. And why isn’t Silent Service on the list?
It's on there (i forgot which number though).
Rockin Cats at 600+? It’s a good game.
I wanted to see how long it would take for Crystalis, River City Ransom, and Rygar to appear. Under-rated classics. A great system, a great time.
Heh, R.C. Pro-Am at #16, no way that's better than Crystalis, or Excitebike either at 19, gimme a break....... like they chose at random out of a hat.
Fuk I couldn't drop R.C.R. or Crystalis...Glade they are some who agree those games are underrated! 🍻
Rcr on nes and game boy were the best!
Solstice (ranked 200) Ufouria (ranked 400) and Galaxy 5000 (ranked 515) are all in my short list of most interesting games for the NES. In their Galaxy 5000 clip, it looks like the player is just whirling out of control with no idea what they're doing. The controls on Galaxy 5000 take a moment to get used to, but it looks like they didnt try. If you give it a little time, its race / combat gaming as good as it gets on NES. F-Zero before F-Zero. Sad to see it ranked below all those Wisdom Tree brand bible games.
My favourite Nes game is Tetris. Addictive as hell
Mario 3, Zelda 1 and Mega Man 2 were all in the top five, so I can't argue with this list.
Excuse me... how in the world is the first Ninja Turtles BETTER than games like Kirby's Adventure, Bubble Bobble, Ufouria The Saga and River City Ransom?!
The fact that TMNT 3 is below the other two proves he's never played them.
The fact that it’s a better game
@@Pelcurus I agree, I mean... what the hell!? The only reason I can think of why TMNT 1 is so high is because the game is very nostalgic for the maker of this list (not a bad thing but it is still a worse game than 2 and especially 3)
Thx for reminding me a lot of my childhood games :)
Glad you enjoyed!
Regardless of what games ranked where, I am thoroughly enjoying this video!! I’m treating it like a trivia game to test my knowledge. I’m currently paused at number 309 (Slalom) and I’ve gotten 202 correct so far. I just cover the lower part of the screen, name the game (or guess lol) and then look to see if I’m right. For an extra challenge you could try to guess them from the audio alone!
Interesting List. I don't know all games, but would say Super Mario Bros 2 and Super contra are underrated in your list.
Big misses here :
Double Dragon II behind Double Dragon.
Turtles III behind Turtles 1 …
Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de Hacer este tremendo top❤
Moon Crystal (translated from Japanese) is a true gem and is easily a top 10 NES game. It's difficult at times, but if you emulate it you can really enjoy it. I sometimes " rewind " if i make a big mistake.
The game design is very well done beautiful and satisfying.
amazing games like Shatterhand are so far behind WrestleMania
It's highly laughable
I had never heard of a lot of these games and I'm only halfway through the list. I'd disagree with the placement of some of them strongly. Dragon Warrior 3 and 4 are way too low.
The NES was my first console, and all these games would probably fit onto one Switch cartridge.
Objectively speaking, you can really only compare "like-games": Games of the same genre:
Once you start comparing an RPG to a Sports title to a Platformer, then you're getting into "Subjective" territory.
Other factors would be game sales as well as the number of romhacks, which signify how active & passionate the community is about "their game".
Also, I think it would be interesting if you ever updated this list to average-out the rating for SERIES & sequels & give them the same Rank (Avg) & show them all together ?
However, I do have to give props for being "different" & "breaking the mold": Specifically, doing a "Top 800" is ballzy & ambitious.
And going from "Best to Worst" instead of "Worst to Best" is much appreciated, TY !!!
Blaster Master was a top 5 game easily.
I would definitely put Bucky o Hare in the top 10. Great game in every aspect!
Theres no way that the first ninja turtles game ranks so high. Chip n Dale's rescue rangers is way better than TMNT.
That first tmnt game was freakin awesome wtf are you talking about? Chip and Dale was great too but cmon
@@misterknightowlandco which game did avgn review first? Tmnt ...or rescue rangers? One of them, he didn't even review. Exactly.
No
I’m just here to search for memories; what an amazing childhood I had. Never taking anything for granted
@@jimmyhuynh6049Nostalgia is very powerful 😂
Challenge of the Dragon (#695) just looked like footage of Castle of Dragon again.
...Sweet, TY for the info... Just checked into it & they are different games produced by different companies: *_Challenge of the Dragon_* was produced by *_Color Dreams._*
While *_Castle of Dragon_* (named *_Dragon Unit_* in Japan) was developed by *_Athena_* & published by *_SETA._*
Cool list. Captain Skyhawk, Guerilla War, River City Ransom and Ice Hockey are ranked too low
IMO. I know the original black box Tennis is in there somewhere and that game was really good.
Lol you have some funky choices going before some decent games up in the 200-300s
I was born in 87 but this is the only console I had between 1992 and 1995 so I have a lot of great memories with it.
Having this console when you was 5, man, you was spoiled shild. I played those games in 2002 with famiclone when i was about 12 years old.
@@SavivaldybiuLyga "Man you was a spoiled 12 years old shild"
No way is Dragon Warrior/Quest I better than III and IV!
They hated all the extra content, and they weren't going to actually play all these games before ranking them.
Love seeing the memories, but this list was clearly put together by someone who didn't grow up with the NES era
Finally found my game after searching in many videos. My game is at #353 adventures of dino riki. Thank you!
Honestly I’d put SMB2 above SMB1, it’s way more fun to play even though it’s different.
I would probably put SMB2 in top 4. Along with both Zeldas and Mike Tysons Punch Out
1942: Galaga on airplanes. Great game!
The ranking doesn't make any sense but a good video indeed
Excellent
Bold ranking: Super Pitfall.
A game that is perpetually in Worst 10's for glitchy gameplay and insane difficulty, getting a respectable #241 out of 800.
...
Questionable Ranking: Mig 29: Soviet Fighter.
Near the bottom at 752, in spite of solid linear gameplay, decent overhead sections, and a respectable soundtrack. Definitely the best of the worst 100 on this list IMO.
...
Sadness Ranking: The Battle of Olympus.
My 3rd favorite game on the NES, at a head-scratching 216.
...
Needs to be Reranked: All the Baseball games that use the same game engine as Bad News Baseball and Dusty Diamond's Softball and were ranked ahead of the aforementioned two. RBI Baseball may have (I presume) been the first to use this style of Baseball engine, but being the first doesn't necessarily mean being the best.
On point!
Some surprise picks like 1942 but worth watching
Mi top 10
1.Contra 2
2.Super Mario 3
3.Adventure Island 1
4. Gun Nac
5.Tiny toon Adventures
6.Contra 1
7.Super Mario Bros
8.Batman
9.Spider man Six returns
10. Kun-Kunio Nekketsu Soccer League.
Años buscando Rush n attack, sabía que este juego existía porque lo jugué muy poco cuando era niño, y ya nunca más supe de él, empezaba a dudar de que existiera. Gracias por subirlo🙏🙏🙏
International Cricket 🏏 at #762 😅 That was a long wait.
I'm not sure I'd rank Zelda as No.2, but it's definingly near the top of most-influential. The thing is, it's very much a case of "first" for a lot of concepts that where refined later. Metroid and FF1 are very similar in that regard. Rough, but no one had ever done what they did before in such a visible way (I.E. on a major console like the NES)
Can you name one thing that the final fantasy series brought to the genre? Most of the things were brought by the dragon warr series
Well if Zelda shouldn't be 2 super Mario bros definitely should not be #1
@@perrycoffey5410 Hey, I can agree with that, at least in regards to "best game on the system." But most influential? Mario Bros is right up there with Pacman and Tetris. So maybe the title should have been most influential, not the best.
I feels like some of the games ranked lowest are just ones you didn't know how to play
Thank you so much!
Monster in my Pocket should be way higher than #256!
My favourite nes games are The legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros 3, Zelda 2, Contra, Faxanadu, Punch out, Double Dragon 2, Wrecking Crew, Super Mario Bros & Metroid. Couldn't do a top 800, didn't play that many.
This is a big reason why NES remains popular. 800 games! You could be a huge NES dork for decades and still encounter some game you've never played.
Sweet, I currently have 20 of the top 25. Of those 5 I don't have I only really want Contra and Battletoads.
Bubble Bobble is a top 5 game it was brilliant
Power Blade II (Captain Saver for NES) is one of best 8-bit game!
800 NES Games - Ranked from RANDOM to RANDOM
Nostalgia overload.
I would put Double Dragon 2 ahead of the first. It would be in my top 3.
Baseball Stars is the best baseball game. Bases Loaded is great too.
Temp World Wrestling over Pro Wrestling.
Faxanadu over Zelda II.
Castlevania III over I, but it is damn hard.
1942 is a terrible port. 1943 is much better.
Surprised to see TMNT Atcade so high. Good game, but 10?
I think Journey to Silius should be top 50. Underrated game.
Sucks that I missed out on so many great games as a kid because I played a lot of shit, but rentals saved the day and my parent's wallet.
That first GI Game looked great and I always wanted to play Ice Climber and Snow Bros.
It's cool you puts Super Mario Bros. 3 at #1 on this list because it's my favorite game.
What’s system are these games all captured on?
Because I wasn't going to watch the full 3 hours, I decided to watch until I strongly disagreed with a selection. Tempted with Turtles 2 at #9 but Double Dragon 1 at #13? That's just too high.
why i'm watchin this at saturday midnight
gud that Zelda II made it high on the list, its really a ground breaking game, i figured Dragon Warrior wud be near but overall gr8 vid
Do you have it somewhere in text format? :P I would love to have it!
I do, here it is:

@@Oberongaming Awesome! Thanks a lot dude! Appreciate it :) And great job, I love this video! Epic :)
Replace Paperboy with Star Tropics and this list is gold!
86-90 was just one banger after another
If anyone is wondering if this list is reliable, just know it has Mario in Time ranked very high and Rampage 120 spots above Bubble Bobble. That should tell you all you need to know. Haha
I feel like a lot of NES sequels are objectively better than their predecessors, namely: Castlevania 3, Ninja Gaiden 2, Double Dragon 2
Yeah. Castlevania 3 is ranked lower than the original, should be switched, Ninja Gaiden I is higher than II, but those games are closer. I'd say sequels are averaging lower ranks than originals, should be the other way around.
SO nostalgic! Also smart how you ranked it best to worst for people to avoid skipping hehehe
100-800 I don’t think anyone in their right mind is gonna argue too much. 1-100 as long as they roughly in the right spot, can’t disagree a whole lot either. The nes had so many great games and people’s preferences swing wildly. However, to rank double dragon 1 over 2 is madness! The controls were a lot tighter in 2 and was vastly more impressive in the graphics department. Surprised dd2 didn’t make top 10. Such a great game!!
#94 should be in the top 30 in my opinion. Very underrated game.
Cant say I agree with a lot of choices but thx for taking on a huge project and youre not that far off....Tecmo football smh and Double dragon 1 over 2 ... LOL
