SHH! here's my super secret other channel where I put my other videos / @riggsreviews - เกม
This is a marathon of all of the NES through the Years videos, all at once. Perfect for background noise or video game stores ;)
Did you have Army Ants?
Thanks!!! These are my years of NES and I love it.
I dont think I need to say my favorite NES game. I talked about it all of the time.
This is a smart format. Props John.
As back in the 90s by pro jared bites the dust you pick up the slack. Way to hold the line. The world needs more people like you John.
I love it when Mr. Riggs puts these collections together in one big marathon. It means I can let it play while I go to sleep😁
Hell yeah Riggs. More of these compilation vids. Love having the long vids play in the background while I work!
Same here. This kind of videos are total ASMR for me :)
I’m actually one of those people who legitimately likes Ice Climber. I think the controls were designed to be that way to make it more challenging and you have to really plan out every move you make. Not to mention the music is phenomenal, and the game all around just has a particular vibe to it that I love.
I also love Ice Climber
The neat thing about NES Golf is unlike latter golf games; the slope arrows I believe all go the same direction once you are on the green. I had experience the Mandela effect with this game as I thought there was multiple directions for the slopes on the greens.
jaws is a good game. i don't think i have it anymore, but i did in the '80s
Good Morning! I learn about so many games that i would have never seen otherwise!
Love these videos so much. Thanks for sharing!
i always start mega man 2 with flash man, then metal man
Fun fact: so I have the bootleg multi cart “31 in 1”. And it has Ice Climber WITH the baby seals. I didn’t know that that was only an Eastern thing
Great Videos! Love the nostalgia! Would be awesome if we could have some more audio from the games, just to get the full effect.
THREE HOUR?!?! YOU MAKE THREE HOUR LONG VIDEO?!!?!? Oh Mr Riggs!
Getting up near Mike Matei territory......
Hey this is awesome! Thanks John!
Bump n jump is one of my sleeper favorite games. Great control, great pace, amazing music, and fun courses. It's a winner
John Riggs Marathon
10 yard fight from I-Reem lol
Hey! I wanted to thank you for sharing the Midwest Gaming Classic event. We drove over from Toronto, Canada and it was a great time. downtown Milwaukee was very cool too!
thank you for the compilation John, idk watching this video is more satisfying than playing the game myself.
excellent video man. Brought back so many memories....booting up that emulator
Sky Kid is still one of my favorite NES games. I remember playing it at this pizza place by my house as a kid. I probably could've bought an NES console with the amount of quarters I spent on that game over the years lol.
I'm watching it because of pure nostalgia and it's raining here over 1ft of rain in three days...🤣
Great job, this personal review index was a great accomplishment for all of us to enjoy.
3 hours of NES yessssss
Heh, I had a paper route when I was 9 or 10. Was over 100 papers, good thing I had a bike (sometimes I got driven). Then they ended up just putting that paper inside of the main one...... WOW big ups to you, I love every second of this!
Riggs you are the man!
Love this video totally revisited my childhood watching this thanks John!
Where’s MC KIDS (Mcdonaldland in Europe) that’s the only game I have for the NES in fact I bought an NES JUST so I can play that game. I was able to download and play the Amiga version on Windows 10/PC and it has save states. Nostalgia is Helluva Drug! 😊
I’m hinking now of the old Konami ads that were in many many comic books back then.
Oh man tu for the memories
This video takes me back to my childhood. I miss it so much 😊😊😊
*makes pop corn*
I loved Urban Champion! I couldn't find it for sale anywhere but I could rent it. Every snow storm or holiday as much as I could I was renting it.
Are you gonna do a continuation of this but with homedrew games? Like the ones that actually came out physically or had an impact on NES fans.
So happy I found these videos...awesome watch
EXCELLENT VIDEO, GREAT INFO 👍
Solomon's Key was amazing. Loved that game. Sadly, my mother beat it way before any of us did. My mom didn't want anyone to know she was a gamer, but... she was. 🙂
3 hours and 9 minutes of Riggs talking about Ned games?! Sign me up! I love these videos especially in really long form.
Addendum- Clu Clu Land coins? Man, they look like gold rupees to me. I bet I know who made Clu Clu Land...;)
in 1989 Punch Out was impressive... i was intimidated by the big characters as big as me on the huge TV on the ground/mat
made it 51 minutes in loving it. great to see these in order
Deadly towers was one of those games I passed with save states. Even with save states holy crap that game is frustrating.
“Two player alternating games, shouldn’t even be a thing…”
SMB3: Hold my beer! 😂
Cool stuff, Mr. Riggs!
3+ hours of Riggs game review. My daily zen
Ireem? You mean Irem :P
I think 1990 was the best overall year for NES games. I'm glad they made Mega Man 4, 5, and 6! Oh the name of the cat from Tiny Toons was Furrball (yes, with two R's).
Awesome compendium!😊👍
This entire video confirms I was so blessed to be a kid in the mid 80s/early 90s 🔥🔥
19:00 I loved this game as a kid.
The laser weapon on Contra is my favorite I've played through the game with it many of times
Great list, great games !
John Riggs you are appreciated
We have the same taste in games... I also liked spy vs and had a mad subscription..
Good job on making this one John. Wow, it’s a lot of work… albeit fun work of course.😊
I am a big suikoden fan . My best console is Nintendo Switch
34:07 Sky Kid looks like a NES port of the old PC game Sopwith Camel.
I caught the rocky horror reference there!
"Where did their hair go?"- Ikari Warriors theme song
t&c surf was a good game, i liked the skateboarding better. the music goes hard, especially the solo
Are you going to do any more ranking videos or open cart surgery videos?
0:55 Sure, it means nothing in English, but the term "kuru-kuru" in Japanese means to go around and around, hence why the gameplay is the way it is. And most likely to make it easier to say (or maybe even for more appeal), Nintendo changed it to "clu-clu".
Tecmo bowl ruled! And I also was not a football fan..
I cant picture John finishing a game lol, he has fun for a few mins and then goes ohh let's play this game, ohh let's play that game lol
🎶 Come on, I-Reem
Oh, I swear (Well, he means)
Ah, come on, I-Reem 🎶
Renegade/Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun on NES was a game I immediately wanted to defend since I think the arcade version is extremely underrated and its reputation as a terrible game is insane... but the NES port isn't great since it usually just encourages spamming one single move that's preferable in the overwhelming majority of contexts. Watch high-level play of the arcade game, then the NES game, and you'll see how spammy and unbalanced the latter is and how even speedrunning requires varying your moves a lot more in the arcade version. Sucks since I do like the little bits of variety they added in the NES version like the motorcycle sections.
Hi big wonder boy fan and cliff is friend . I am from the uk i am Duncan
Awesome
Make it so bad the lazer gun in contra was more powerful than and gun on there
Deadly towers I gave so many chances through the years and never good
Goonies 2 looks to play much more like Friday the 13 than metroid..
Nice little marathon.
Sometimes the reflection from the screen in front of you makes it look like youre wearing purple eyeshadow lol
No John, you are not the only one. I like Super C over Contra as well.
Way too much time showing Golf 😂
Ghosts 'n Goblins is not that difficult. The problem is that most people don't care to spend the bit of time needed to figure out the rules to mastering it.
Thanks!
You can't sit there and say you love ghosts N goblins when you trashed it on your Capcom video.
Love urban champion
I actually conquered Athena But i had to call the nintendo power hotline way too many times. I borrowed it from a friend and I tried to love it but it was so Difficult. It needs a full on remake. Because it is just even so hard for me to go back to, I try but I just hate this game sometimes. I have some nostalgia for it But the physics and everything is just terrible. Do not play the arcade version, It is so much worse and so much harder and wants to eat quarters like crazy. I bought the arcade version on the nintendo switch And I was so disappointed far beyond The one we got on the NES. Is a great idea terrible game.
Calling a three
10 yard fight genuinely looks like the worst game of all time. How is that even football. Plus the player is basically walking it would take over a full minute to move half the field lol
How funny would it be if Nintendo made a Breath of the Wild style game, but it’s with the friggin Ice Climbers- 40yo characters no one cares about in a brilliant, AAA game
lol the super pitfall comments
I like Clu Clu Land.
Mega Man 1 to 6 = great
Abba
Guess you never played Guardian Legend
The LJN WWF games actually got worse over the years. With WrestleMania, at least each wrestler had their own moves. By the time you get to King of the Ring, no one has their own moves, the wrestlers look terrible, and it's just a colorized version of the Gameboy game. Wrestling games on the NES never got better than. Pro Wrestling.
I couldnt wait to play that wwf game either. Such a dissapointment! Aklaim sucked!! On the other hand nintendo pro wrestling made my childhood and had maybe the best game play of any wrestling game ever!
👍👍™️
Nope bayou billy was the hardest
