My Christmas memory is getting the NES with Mario and Duck hunt. My brother and I had so much fun playing those. Years later getting Donkey Kong Country for SNES is probably my most nostalgic memory. Just an amazing game in every way. I still listen to the water level music and get goosebumps. Enjoyed the video. Great list of games.
That’s so awesome you got that for Christmas! SNES has some great ones too and Donkey Kong Country would absolutely have to be on that list. That’s super cool you got it and it means that much to you! Thanks for watching my friend!
Blaster Master is a game i had as a kid and never beat i may have to jump on that too. What a great game. One of the best intros and the music is the best
There are so many amazing games on the NES it’s hard to pick! Mario 3 is always going to be a classic but I think I agree Turtles is the way to go. Happy holidays my friend!
Ducktales I play every year on my birthday, which is close to Xmas, to completion. Definitely my favorite game of all-time, not just NES game. On Xmas, I try to play Shenmue every year because it perfectly captures the time/feel and I got that game for Xmas in 2000.
That’s awesome Duck Tales is a great game to sit down and play through so I think that’s super cool you do that for your birthday. I have never played Shenmue but knowing that will have to track that down and try it now. Looks like I might have ti dig out the Dreamcast!
There is a snow/ice level in SM2 as well. rc pro am is legit, never played 2 i dont think FF is best choice on this list, dragin warrior series is great as well.
Final Fantasy is my jam! It’s what got me into RPG’s and I’ll always love it. RC Pro am 2 is a great one, try it out if you can it’s a blast multiplayer!
Hey my man! great video, For me the best Christmas game is Infected for the PSP. You are in New York City On Christmas Eve and a zombie apocalypse breaks out! It takes place in Nyc between Christmas and New Years and you can even play as every member of Slipknot, Very cool Game!
Great video, some of these game's I've never heard of, but that's because I didn't get my first NES system until I was 18 year's old in 1989, and my first 2 game's were Dragon Warrior and Ninja Gaiden, both awesome game's, that Destiny Of An Emperor looks just like Dragon Warrior, I'm definitely gonna be on the look out for that one
Destiny of an Emperor is definitely a cool and interesting RPG that is a must have if you are a fan of Dragon Warrior. It’s got some really cool mechanics to it.
I cannot disagree with any of those choices! I’ll definitely be playing my favorite Mario of all time; Mario 2, on my CRT via Super Mario Allstars! That game just cannot be beat. Godspeed on Blaster Master. That game punished me as a child and I only made it to level 8 once lol. Happy holidays!
I love that you’re going to be playing Mario 2 on your CRT. It’s such a classic. I hope it’s a blast! Thank you! Hopefully I can just take the whole day and try and power through it! Happy Holidays my friend!
Dude Ikari Warriors was so good, I played Blaster Master so much when I was a kid, I always loved the intro, Super Mario 2 & 3 & TMNT will always remind me of Christmas but my favorite game to play during Christmas is BATMAN because I begged my parents for it for Christmas & they got it for me.
Man Ikari Warriors kicks my butt so bad! That’s why I like Guerilla War, because I then don’t have to stress snack while playing 🤣😂🤣😂 That’s awesome dude! Batman is a great one and that would have been an awesome present on a Christmas morning! I’m glad to hear you got that one back then!
I missed so much as a kid I never knew the nes could do 4 player its becuase of the hobby that I found out so much more about this games and the nes I was introduced so little to it. Still need duck tales. Zelda 2 can definitely a hard pill to willow specially after the first one
Same here, collecting has really brought a lot of awesome games to light like that so I’m super happy to share some that I have found. Duck Tales is awesome, I hope you can pick it up soon. Right! Such a drastic change from the original but still a classic on the system!
This is such an awesome video!!! I appreciate your recommendations bro! I only have the first Dragon Warrior game and will have to get the rest of them. Also, I've never heard of Guerrilla War. It looks like a mix of Commando and Jackal. 🤔😎
The rest of the Dragon Warriors on the NES are all worth the pick up brother. Guerrilla War is a blast for sure, really fun! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I remember getting Super Mario 1 Christmas 1989. My siblings and I got the Nintendo Power Set version of the console. I also remember getting Super Mario 2 and TMNT 2 and 3 for Christmas. TMNT 2 is my favorite game of all time. I would also suggest Double Dragon 2. Along with many others of course.
That’s awesome you got that for Christmas! That would have been an awesome gift to open! TMNT2 is a classic for sure, always a top game for me as well! Double Dragon 2 would be a good one as well, it always kicked my butt tho 😆
@@RetrocartCollector I don't take gaming seriously so I'm always using it. I will be looking for a number of games in the video. I really enjoyed watching.
You need a lot of time off for this list brother! 😂 Great choices though. I couldn’t agree more with most of these choices for various reasons. Although as many NES games as I have I don’t have the Adventures of Lolo games…😮 The old school Zelda games were super weird…I guess that’s why they have stuck with all of us all these years. 🤣
It’s rough when it’s a tough time like that. I’m sorry to hear that buddy. It’s good to have a great distraction like gaming to help get through. I hope this one is a bit better for you my friend.
@RetrocartCollector thank you so much for those kind words. I'm hoping it will be a good one. I'm gonna enjoy some of my favorite childhood games and go back in time to growing up on a small island.
Can't go wrong with a Mario Christmas! I myself love number two and who doesn't love number three. I'd be like you and just play the first two levels of the first game and then be done with it. We did indeed get two and three for Christmas separate years. The first one came as a pack-in with our Nintendo and we got it as a grading gift in the summer. My Mom and Dad did a whole scavenger hunt and everything. Now during Christmas break if we had a bigger group of people over we definitely would have played family feud or wheel of Fortune. We played these all the time. We're not allowed to leave the console on in my house lol or else I would have done it with Adventure Island AKA devil's Island. I haven't played a single Lolo game but I think I'd really enjoy them. I like to mix it up a bit and not always play the same style of game. A fun thinker is something I look for every now and again between horror and metroidvania games. To bring my pulse back down to normal 😂 I'm sure everybody and their neighbor knows this but we have adventures of Link sealed Canadian version. What makes it the Canadian version is that it has French and English seal. Really don't know the actual value of it but it doesn't really matter cuz it's never leaving the collection.
That’s super cool you got them like that for Christmas and your folks did a scavenger hunt. That’s sounds like it would be a really nice memory to have of those. You mentioned that you enjoyed those wheel of fortune and game show kind of games and that makes a lot of sense if you would have played those like that then and have that connection to them. That’s super neat! That is super super cool! That’s a great game to have especially if it’s that version!!! 🤯

I’m stoked to finally set down and make a play through attempt. It’s such a cool and nostalgic game for me.
Mario 3!! Oh Ducktales. Fantastic games. Such a great list here. I know what I’m playing this holiday! Turtles!!! Cowabunga 🐢
There are so many amazing games on the NES it’s hard to pick! Mario 3 is always going to be a classic but I think I agree Turtles is the way to go. Happy holidays my friend!
Blaster Master to this day I STILL LOVE!!
It’s such a cool concept and is done so well for a game of its time! So cool! 🔥🔥

Never played Guerilla War but it does look like I'm going to have to give it a try!
Dude! That Famous shirt and Mannys arcade hat combo is super 🔥
Guerilla War is a cool one for sure, you have to try it!
Hahah thanks brother! Love my Manny’s Arcade hat!
Dude Ikari Warriors was so good, I played Blaster Master so much when I was a kid, I always loved the intro, Super Mario 2 & 3 & TMNT will always remind me of Christmas but my favorite game to play during Christmas is BATMAN because I begged my parents for it for Christmas & they got it for me.

@@RetrocartCollector I can't lie I always used Game Genie as a kid. I honestly still do 😆. Because I just want to have fun playing.
@ there’s nothing wrong with that! I used it last time I made an attempt too 😂🤣
@@RetrocartCollector I don't take gaming seriously so I'm always using it. I will be looking for a number of games in the video. I really enjoyed watching.
Here for this!
Thanks for watching my friend!
You need a lot of time off for this list brother! 😂 Great choices though. I couldn’t agree more with most of these choices for various reasons. Although as many NES games as I have I don’t have the Adventures of Lolo games…😮 The old school Zelda games were super weird…I guess that’s why they have stuck with all of us all these years. 🤣
Right! 😂 I’m going to need a week off for sure. Thanks brother. The Lolo games are totally worth it man, for sure great ones to pick up.
Hey bud, great list. Christmas isn't exactly easy for me and I use it to play Nintendo as a way to keep distracted.
It’s rough when it’s a tough time like that. I’m sorry to hear that buddy. It’s good to have a great distraction like gaming to help get through. I hope this one is a bit better for you my friend.
@RetrocartCollector thank you so much for those kind words. I'm hoping it will be a good one. I'm gonna enjoy some of my favorite childhood games and go back in time to growing up on a small island.
@ I hope you can play some good ones. What are your favorites if you were picking some to put in the system?
@RetrocartCollector I'd have to say Castlevania III and Super Mario Bros. 3. Those never get old to me.
I know that feeling i was poor as a kid to.
One day, I'm going to have to beat blaster master myself😂
Hopefully it comes up on the list to play brother! Damn random games spread sheet 😂🤣
My folks gave me Dragon Warrior for one Christmas and then gave me Final Fantasy for the next one. I was very happy
That’s awesome you had them both like that! I can imagine how happy you were to have those! That’s epic!
Can't go wrong with a Mario Christmas! I myself love number two and who doesn't love number three. I'd be like you and just play the first two levels of the first game and then be done with it.

I accually almost beat tmnt 3 Manhattan project recently made it to the last elevator level and lost my last 3 lives there lol
Oh snap! That’s rough but awesome you almost made it through. Hopefully next time you will kick its butt!
@RetrocartCollector i hope so I was pretty hype til I died but longest run
