+Nathan Christensen The only thing I kinda don't like about "S.C.A.T." is that you don't see your score on the screen. It just feels a lot better when you know how close you are to the next extra life.
Guardian Legend was a top game for me, but the soundtrack shouldn't be overlooked. It was so clean, futuristic and had a great vibe to it throughout. Great choice!
Bred In Captivity yes! I loved that game too! It was great! Glad to see others knew it. I'm not sure why I bought it, it's been so long but I was so happy getting it.
The Japanese name for "Action in New York" is "Final Mission" The original story was a lot more grim as it was basically humanities last stand against an alien invasion that wipes out a great deal of the population, resulting in the post-apocalyptic backgrounds and futuristic setting. Great upload by the way!
The Guardian Legend!!! I had forgotten about it! It was so awesome, that I'd forgotten it was for the NES. I was left with the impression it was for my Genesis.I loved it.
I really hope Mike does more top lists, his opinions on games are often a little bit unique and offer a new perspective, he puts in the effort to record, cut and edit these massive videos himself, and the writing is pretty good. Plus, it's just Mike. I love seeing and hearing him.
I've been trying to remember the name of that game for almost 25 years now and could never figure it out. So glad I watched this video it's " the Guardian legend " . Thanks Mike You Put 25 Years Of torment to rest.
Xexyz's overall game design is very similar to Monster Party - finding hidden rooms and beating bosses to obtain things to get to different areas. Even the engine used in Xexyz is, I strongly suspect, a modified version of the same engine used in Monster Party.
Yes! Guardians Legend is number one on your list... and I TOTALLY agree with you! That was one of my favourite NES games... Thanks for bringing back the memories... and everything you said about TGL is true! Pure classic... Often wondered if or when someone would do a remake or updated version or sequel of that game... Zelda, Metroid, Mario all had major innovative advancements over the years... Would be interested in playing an HD or 3D version of this game... Can only wish...
I just turned 20 so you'd know I haven't played the nes yet but I'm planning on buying one and already wanted to buy megaman 1-6,mario bros games metroid,Kirby etc. This channel is going to introduce me to a lot more games by the look of it. Thank you.
I am about your age (21) i grew up owning and playing SNES, Sega genesis, and Nintendo 64. I never owned an NES, but have played it plenty of times and plan to buy one soon. I would also recommend getting the other 3 consoles I mentioned if you already don't own them. I still play those consoles along with modern pc games and have a blast playing them to this day.
amaterasu usaretama I feel you man; I'm 21 and sold my XboxOne for a mint condition Super Nintendo and NES with a ton of games. I gave the current generation consoles a chance but I just wanted to stay with my childhood memories. Plus I work so much that I don't have hours and hours to invest in playing games like I used to. Not that the new generation of gaming is all bad, its just a matter of preference. So enjoy yourself! Retro gaming is where it's at!
beefcurtainz69 While Nintendo has many advantages, Sega has something for it: Nomad. No need to buy freaking 2nd set of cartridges to play on the go; oh and you can play TWO on it.
Poofah Loofah yeah there's truth in your words. College is pretty time consuming but I still spend most of my off time playing video games. I just can't find an nes for sale.
+nato5071 I wouldn't know what games to get on sega consoles other than sonic,earthworm jim, the usual but I grew up with the n64 and can't wait to get one of those again!
The Guardian Legend was my childhood. It's almost my personal reference for a game that's hard but fair. If you're good enough you can win - the game never cheats you out of a win. If you lose it's your own damn fault.
Here's a good obscure title, snake rattle n roll. You play as a snake who eats little balls that you have to search for. It sounds simple and that's because it is. I won't be able to do it justice but seriously the game is a lot of fun.
:3 Guardian Legend, my awesome childhood memories! :3 ~~~> update: I played most of them on Famicom multi-catridge, maybe they're unpopular in US but very famous in my hometown, all of my neighbors enjoyed them.
one of the best games i've ever played in my life. I have my cart still . Did you know each town has a name? i had no idea until i started playing it again as an adult. Dagger's and wingboots mantra's and monster's await !
Watching this makes me so happy and depressed at the same time. I remember the good ol days of TH-cam with free speech and when James and Mike were firing on all cylinders.
Brain Lord! It has to be one of the best and simultaneously most obscure RPGs i've played for NES. It had a really neat combat system using these sprite guardians and the players character. Highly recommend a look. Also Joe and Mac was made for the SNES as well. Very good. Legend of the Mystical Ninja was good too. So many more.
kickle cubicle,adventure island, dreammaster,kid icarius, dragonwarrior,chip and dales,darkwing duck and a game with micky mouse were alll fun games i remember playing when i was younger that wernt any of the big names check em out
I'm just so happy you put The Guardian Legend #1. I mean it is never talked about and it's definitely one of the best games on the NES. Released in 1988, it really made the games of the time seem outdated. Man love TGL!
King Voxel Mr. Gimmick is better though famicom audio channels used for maximum kick ass music that makes you think 16-bit. And it is a SNES GAME ON A NES in every aspect. Attention to detail is everywhere. Hit detection is 1pixel by 1pixel on all enemies and you. And it has pyshics unlike most platformers. Parralax scrolling minorly, music that is beyond belief, great level design, and has the very best AI on 16-bit to 8-bit consoles. It is smarter then all 8-bit games and snes. It is mind blowing to play the game and see how unmapitulive they are. You can't manipulate them at all! Got to know the controls and pyshics. Your character actually has weight.
Hey Mike, I just wanted to tell you that the original title for S.C.A.T. is actually "Final Mission". Much better name than those two other funny titles, in my opinion.
Laurelindo You're right! "SCAT" has two alternate titles. "Action in New York" as seen here was the European version, and "Final Mission" was the Japanese version for the Famicom.
I just saw a playthrough of “VICE: Project Doom.” I Don’t know if that one also counts as an obscure NES game but it also has lots of variety. Vertical shooter, platforming and a shooter. Looked pretty awesome.
I freaking shrieked like a hyper kid when you got to #1. I thought it wouldn't make the list. GOOD CALL. That would be my pick as well. Guardian Legend is my absolute favorite. Man, you have good NES taste. A few I think should be mentioned, though: Kabuki Quantum Fighter Destiny of an Emperor The Magic of Scheherazade Shadowgate Solstice Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom(yes, really. It's a game. A dayum fine one, too, if you like point n clicks) Legacy of the Wizard
I fucking loved XEXYZ!!! but I forgot what it was called... I remember playing it when I was a kid at my babysitters house and thinkin' it was afuckingmazing. And Metal Storm I think stopped being obscure cause the few kids who did play it when it game out decided to show it to all their friends later when roms and emulators came about [I mean when I was 25, I'm currently 30, I was showing it to my 23-30 year old friends and they were like "How the fuck did we never play this. This is awesome!!" and they showed it to other people and so on]. But seriously I've been trying to figure out what the fuck xexyz was actually called for forever!
Actually scat has many meanings, none of them is "eating shit", that is plainly wrong. It means "to move away in haste" or "a jazz style" or literally "shit", albeit it usually refers to animal excrement, not human. The whole "shit eating" is not the proper use of the word.
GUN NAC... SUCH A NOSTALGIA... PLAYING NOW!!! THANK YOU! Finally found it because if this video. I gonna tell you - the best space shooter I ever played!
James & Mike Play S.C.A.T. Lol, I dare anyone try to say that with a straight face. It's impossible. In all seriousness though, they should definitely play that game together seeing as Mike mentioned that it's good to play it 2 players.
Ma top 5 obscure games (any) 5.Spongebob BFBB (ps2,gc,xbox) 4.Godzilla unleashed PS2 3.King kong PS2 2.Pacman World 2 1.Bookworm Adventures Deluxe Im serious all of these NEED more recognition
Pac man world 2 is one of my favorite games from when i was younger.I had the pacman v.s pacman world 2 bundle.I also love spongebob battle for the bikkini bottom.
+stevenpa887 Apparently it does now. The way words change astounds me. Scat, used to be what a Bear left after he was done.... also, was a type/genre of singing performance...... I guess now, we have to go away from what we learned, and let the new people around, make up new definitions for everything....... Never once in my life, until the age of 37, did I EVER hear SCAT as a reference to eating one's own feces. (closer to 38.)
A helpful list. I've only played Bucky O'Hare through out of these. Most of them I haven't even heard about. Some of them look pretty cool, and gonna try them out.
I seriously was sitting here watching this and thinking about this game that I used to play when I was a kid that looked similar to these but I couldn't remember the name. . Then he said it, #1 the guardian legends!! Was an amazing game. I played it a TON.
Kudos on making the Guardian Legend #1. I have always thought it was the most underrated NES games and one of my favorite games of all time. Thanks for the great review.
Guardian Legend is in my top five favorite NES games! I love that it was your number 1 NES Gem Mike! I would love to see you and James play that on one of the "James and Mike Mondays"!
Mike, just so you know, Bucky O'Hare was created before the Ninja Turtles back in 1978 or 1979. However, it didn't officially debut to the public until the same year and month as Ninja Turtles in May 1984.
FELIX THE CAT! How me and my sis will spend our entire satnite playing this game. It's fun! Not to mention it's Felix lol. The cartoon was cool back then. How nostalgic...
The Guardian Legend!! its a really great game! i get my copy years ago not knowing a thing about it ( i was buying Demon Sword, another rather obscure title that everyone should play, a sort of spiritual console only sequel to The Legend of Kage), so i was surprised by the tech level in that cart, really good top 10!
I'm so glad you said sweet home, one of my favorite survival horror games alongside the classic Alone in The Dark games and the classic Resident Evil games
I never tried S.C.A.T. before because I didn't think I would like it. But it looks like fun. Especially with a partner!
This comment sounded so wrong on so many levels lol.
Oh my dirty little mind cant stop laughing at this, lol
Looks a lot like Forgotten Worlds.
+Nathan Christensen
The only thing I kinda don't like about "S.C.A.T." is that you don't see your score on the screen.
It just feels a lot better when you know how close you are to the next extra life.
Two players, one cup.
Guardian Legend was a top game for me, but the soundtrack shouldn't be overlooked. It was so clean, futuristic and had a great vibe to it throughout. Great choice!
Top tier game
Excellent choice with The Guardian Legend. Good to see it get some attention.
+Bred In Captivity My favorite game growing up but no one ever knew what it was so finding it again was a hassle until I saw the cover.
It was certainly not obscure at the time, but it was 100% deserved of higher praise. It's Blaster Master calibre.
+Temmie As I recall it was heavily advertised in the gaming magazines but I honestly didn't know many people who had actually bought it.
Bred In Captivity yes! I loved that game too! It was great! Glad to see others knew it. I'm not sure why I bought it, it's been so long but I was so happy getting it.
I spent a year trying to finish it, but didn't understand a bit of English back then...
The Guardian Legend. The absolute pinnacle of NES gaming. Seriously guys. If you haven't played this game, fucking play it already.
Mike Matei streams are the natural progression of the old cinemassacre.
guardian legend in 2012: $2
In 2016: $20
thats so sad... :(

Bucky O'Hare is definitely one of my all time favorite games! I'm glad to see that some one else thinks it's good too!
I lost a summer to The Guardian Legend. Love that game! One of the few NES games I could actually beat.
The Japanese name for "Action in New York" is "Final Mission"
The original story was a lot more grim as it was basically humanities last stand against an alien invasion that wipes out a great deal of the population, resulting in the post-apocalyptic backgrounds and futuristic setting.
Great upload by the way!
The Guardian Legend!!! I had forgotten about it! It was so awesome, that I'd forgotten it was for the NES. I was left with the impression it was for my Genesis.I loved it.

I've been told Bucky O'Hare had an even more osbcure and forgotten sequel called Huggy O'Bear.
Clash at Demonhead main protagonist looks like Yamcha from Dragon Ball series. lol Has that same star or cross looking scar on the left cheek.
AAAAAND BOOM! All these games are overpriced now.
Yupperz
Download the rom and load it on your wii
Guardian legend is still cheap
So as krazy kreatures and joe & mac
Xexyz
Guardian Legend is a great game. I really like the ending theme/screen.
Shatterhand and Kickmaster, both real solid games.
Clash at Demonhead was a criminally underrated game. SO good!
Xexyz's overall game design is very similar to Monster Party - finding hidden rooms and beating bosses to obtain things to get to different areas. Even the engine used in Xexyz is, I strongly suspect, a modified version of the same engine used in Monster Party.

Holy carp this was 4 years ago? lol I remember Guardian Legend. Played it ALL THE TIME!!
I'm glad you included Mr. Gimmick in honorable mentions. So many people overlook that gem of a game.
18:48 The blue vendors were the precursors to Mr. Meeseeks.
The Guardian Legend was my childhood. It's almost my personal reference for a game that's hard but fair. If you're good enough you can win - the game never cheats you out of a win. If you lose it's your own damn fault.
Guerilla War was a solid fun run and gun for the NES. I never hear or see much about it though.
hell yeah dude the guardian legend. i had that game as a kid and could never remember what it was called. that game was so good.
I loved Guardian Legend. I played that until I had Nintendoitis in the thumbs.
Excellent! *guitar squeal*
Here's a good obscure title, snake rattle n roll. You play as a snake who eats little balls that you have to search for. It sounds simple and that's because it is. I won't be able to do it justice but seriously the game is a lot of fun.

I never hear anyone talk about how awesome Destinoy of an Emperor is
The Battle of Olympus... A very good game.
have any of you played or done a review in faxandu?
Great game. I still own the cardbridge... but not a NES =(
one of the best games i've ever played in my life. I have my cart still .
Did you know each town has a name? i had no idea until i started playing it again as an adult. Dagger's and wingboots mantra's and monster's await !
OMG YES! I was fully expecting it to be on this list! It was very much ahead of its time.
I cant say Deluge (deluge of rain, etc) without thinking of Faxandu
It's awesome
Watching this makes me so happy and depressed at the same time. I remember the good ol days of TH-cam with free speech and when James and Mike were firing on all cylinders.
Come watch mikes streams. It’s even more uncensored than this lol
Mike is still doing it. 💯🔥
Whoa bro u mean sad not depressed.
Mighty final fight was the bomb, I had it when I was a kid, awesome game

Much better name than those two other funny titles, in my opinion.
He Mike i got my felix the cat copy for 30 bucks with the instruction manual in really great agape
Laurelindo You're right! "SCAT" has two alternate titles. "Action in New York" as seen here was the European version, and "Final Mission" was the Japanese version for the Famicom.
Shatter hand. Nobody mentions Shatterhand, but I love it
Speaking of shooter games. Why these is no mention to Zanac ?
Its a great game btw.
Fuck yeah for Felix!
I just saw a playthrough of “VICE: Project Doom.”
I Don’t know if that one also counts as an obscure NES game but it also has lots of variety.
Vertical shooter, platforming and a shooter.
Looked pretty awesome.
Its an awesome game, better than Shatterhand and some of the more expensive titles.
thanks for showing this mate, i remember watching this vid about 1 year ago!

Scat isn't eating shit, it's just "shit".
and Scat singing is making noises with your mouth eg: "Skiddly be bop ba baaaaa" in Jazz.

I had Clash at Demonhead when I was a kid. Awesome game! Never beat it, but it was awesome.

Played alot of Guardian Legend as a kid, a fantastic game and the graphics rank among some of the best on the system.
These look great. In fact they look so good it s impressive that theyre actually NES games given some advanced features.
I never had a doubt of my taste in NES games and this video has confirmed it in every aspect.
YES, Guardian Legend was awesome - so glad you listed it.

1. Bucky O'hare
1. The Guardian Legend
FELIX THE CAT! How me and my sis will spend our entire satnite playing this game. It's fun! Not to mention it's Felix lol. The cartoon was cool back then. How nostalgic...

Destiny of an emperor. Great game. You played as generations of characters. Very revolutionary for the time.
The Guardian Legend was awesome! I'm so glad someone gave it props!
I'm so glad you said sweet home, one of my favorite survival horror games alongside the classic Alone in The Dark games and the classic Resident Evil games
... And Ecstatica. I have no clue how I missed that
Destiny of an Emperor. one of my top favorites never recognized as a top NES game . very underrated.
I had the Guardian Legend as a kid -- LOVED that game!!! So difficult as well! Great list!
I am SO glad you had Guardian Legend as #1. This game makes up a chunk of my childhood.
Wow! I was looking for Clash at Demonshead's name for about 20 years!
Thank you!!!
