Noone is looking at these for rankings, everyone is here for the nostalgia.

IGN is crazy. Some of these games are too high or too low. They forgot some games like Batman, Bucky O'Hare, Karnov, Gun Nac, Werewolf the last warrior, Gremlins 2.

Great list. I could watch this over and over. Reminds me massively of my childhood

"Purple" Batman is the best game ever! 💜

Double Dragon 2 was my favorite game. I loved the music so much.

Definitely agree about Super Mario 3. That game was a huge part of my early childhood. Still stands on its own today.

0:55 *_Omg, one of my favorites games._* 2:19 *_Omg, I used a fake gun to shoot the bird._* 4:01 *_I love that game._* 8:50 *_Wow, I always played that game._* 9:44 *_That's cool_*

Great job bro some of these games pushed the nes in graphics to its limits respect from Australia

6:20 Jackal 6:56 micromaxhines 7:06 mega man 7:11 adventure island 8:36 river city ransom ❤❤❤❤❤

Bionic Commando......I can't believe I forgotten you buddy.

I once watched a man play SMB3. In his car. At a taco bell drive-through. It was a life altering experience.

Jackal, Contra and Double Dragon. The memory is inerasable. I would pay everything to go back to my childhood.

Just wanted to say that i really like the format of your videos. Thanks Gary!✌

Games of 90’s kid.. they're no more kid now..but you remember them awesome childhood...!

You missed a ton of great games! How about the original Skate or Die? How about Pro Wrestling? What about Zanac? How about P.O.W.? Or Track and Field 2? BTW, The Guardian Legend should be top 20 easily.

The way Mega Man jumps is very cute

3:38 my favorite game 😂💯

Excitebike, loderunner, and duck hunt. Finally remember these games. What a nostalgia

The NES has always been my favorite system. Many memories of long nights of gameplay. Dkoldies got it right with the selected games in this package. These games will definitely provide you with many hours of entertainment. I have memories of using the Konami code to get through Contra. Mike Tyson's Punchout imo is the best boxing game ever created. Also, a classic game like the Legend of Zelda tops off this outstanding package deal.

fun fact the video is perfectly splitted, if you press num5 you get the 50th game at 5:00

This video is eye-candy! So pleasant to watch! Miss Dragon Warrior 2 in there!

Lode Runner..Kung Fu..Contra.. Double Dragon 3..my nostalgia 😢😭😊😘❤️❤️❤️❤️

Track and field, marble madness, paperboy, skate or die 1, Karnov.

Great quality video, very crispy.

The NES had some truly amazing games.

I'm like, ohhh, Crystalis! Lola's Quest! Oh I know this one! Ohh this one too! Holy shit I loved that one! Oh wait, I forgot about that one! That one as well!

man Blades of Steel made it but not Double Dribble?

Zelda was a great character, he was such a great warrior. His quests were always so involved. I never could tell why he was on the quest though. I'm just kidding. For real though, Dragon Warrior 3, best game ever.

IGN missed amazing games like GI Joe american real hero, over horizon, kickmaster, power blade 2, dragon fighter, scat, panic restaurant, samurai pizza cats, don doko don 2, sword master, kid dracula, batman returns, gun nac, Ufouria, snow bros, Félix the cat...

I played some of them in 2000 when I was a ten years old boy. But missed the most. Good memory.

Return of the Joker, Sector Z, Strider, Shatterhand, Power Blade 2, Astyanax, Ironsword: Wizards & Warriors 2, to name a very few of many games missed.

Great video except I instinctively rage quit when Battletoads came on... Some habits never die

street fighter 2010 was epic, along with batman: return of joker, P.O.W. , cabal, but great to see megaman well rep'ed in the vid!

Dragon Warrior III at #96😂😂😂 That game defined the JRPG genre lol!

Was hoping to see Low G Man, I thought it was really cool as a kid!

@7:12 One of my favorites 🙂⚾️

The most famous classic games for me are Super Mario, Contra, Tanks, Bomberman and Tetris.

Mega Man owned. RC Pro Am was one of my favorites. I can’t believe Double Dribble didn’t make the top 100

2:49 - If you're dead, just hit A-B-B-A, and you're alive! 4:33 - You went out to the streets to fight all these many people at the same time? You'll get your ass handed to you 4:38 - Big jumping game on floading clouds... it's a mess! 5:32 - Die, u, f4ken frogs... Geez, can Fester move any slower? Ah.. yes, he can. 5:43, 8:21 - I'd like to say, this is the hardest trilogy on Nes. 6:00 - Hey, that's not my fault that you f4ked up 7:30 - Why this game needs to be so cryptic?!

I sort of mentally checked out of this list after seeing Punch Out at #83. But then I see that was separate from Mike Tyson's Punch Out at #4. I'm not sure why people felt the need to mention the Tyson-less version from the NES Classic. It's the same game...they just pulled Iron Mike due to his legal troubles and unsavory history.

Never had a nes before I started off with a master system and still play it. Looks like there are plenty of good games for nes collectors though. Great video gary

Dragon Warrior 3 where it is seems really bad at first (and it is), but then you see where Double Dragon 3 is and you have to wonder who at IGN signed off on this.

This video makes me cry. Nostalgic.

Tennage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Air Fortress, Mega Man and Mario Bros are my favourites

Little mermaid, duck tales, mighty minal fight, three eyes boy,, oh so nostalgic

These games never felt like a grind because they were so fun

Man these games are super duper tuff,3:15 that's the game I'm looking for btw

i wanna cry ... so many years passed ... from mario , battlecity , turtles, chip and dale and many other amazing games ...

Finally found lots of games that I played alot back in the day but I forgot the title :D, I cant believe I played so many games back then.

Darkwing duck, mighty final fight - are not in list and better than a half of video. But thanks for rygar. I couldn't find it.

Fester's Quest?! I... WHAT?! Is that game on the list as a prank?!

I just love all the old games I grew up with.

Don’t forget about GI Joe (first one). Game was amazing.

Was just one Ninja Gaiden on this list? Come on. They’re all fun to play. The music, the action, the bosses, the levels are challenging. Especially when you have to jump ledge to ledge when it’s snowing.

Listing 50 games better than Tetris is a bold move.

Adventure Island 1 and 3 should have definitely been there.

No love for T & C Surf Designs? Narc? Double Dribble? Arch Rivals? And the first TMNT game deserves more respect

The order is pretty weird and there are quite a number of notable absences (mostly in late-era games). No way should DQ1 be ranked way higher than 3 or 4, for instance. And Skate or Die 2 could probably be axed entirely, make room for something like Kick Master, Legacy of the Wizard, Ninja Gaiden 3, or Golgo 13. Only games on this list I haven't played are Cobra Triangle and Micro Machines.

Good job Gary!!

Everybody loves battle toads until they get to the second level

1:43 my all time fav game

soon as I saw Jimmy and Bimmy ranked at 55

I was about to be really upset if the GOAT Super Mario Bros 3 wasn't at #1. Great list.

The Guardian Legend ❤️❤️❤️

Well, that would be my top 100 but I definitely agree with a lot of the games on this list. Personally, I think it's a valid list as an opinion but I personally wouldn't have as many sport or racing games on my list. I would definitely have all the Megaman games, Zelda, Mario, Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden's, Final Fantasy, Ninja Turtles (1, 2, & 3), Contra, Ghost & Goblins, Metroid, Batman, Punch-out, Double Dragons, Battle Toads, & the Donkey Kong games. ^Right there you already have about 35 games that I consider to be some of the top games or most played of all time. I would definitely keep"Kid Niki-Radical Ninja" on the list but just because I grew up playing that game with my cousin (fond memories) and it was an alright fun game. Very simple to play it's a stage adventure game where you run &jump over instant deaths & just smack enemies coming from either side of you. It kind of has a similar feel to Ghost & Goblins and even has a boss at the end of every level. There are a few games that didn't make the list that I feel should have like Yo Noid.

I figured out a cheat on double dragon when I was young, that to this day, nobody to my knowledge has ever figured out.

Super Mario Bros 1-3 McDonald's TMNT Sub zero? That car game Loads of good games

Some of the best games haven't made it on that list, like "Kick Master", "Mighty Final Fight", "Ninja Gaiden 3", "Shatterhand", "Shadow of the Ninja" and many others.

OMG the frustration of disagreement LOL

Nice job Gary

Probably the best music on the NES ever........just fuckin amazing 1:54

Duck Tales 2; Darkwing duck; Monster in my Pocket; Chip 'N Dale 2; Power Blade 2; Tom and Jerry and Tuffy; Pizza Pop; Zen Intergalactic Ninja; TaleSpin; Earthbound; Little Mermaid; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III and IV; Jungle Book; The Flintstones; Felix The Cat and tons of others cool games which aren't included into this video. BTW: Anyone remember the name of 3 in row game for NES? cant remember (not DR. Mario) there was liberty statue there and maybe someone can remember some cool shoot'em ups?

Each song and sound effect sound similar but were all unique.

Oh noooo, you forgot NES Number One Game... Capcom´s Gold Medal Challenge '92.

TMNT 2, Mario 3, and Tyson Punch Out were the best.

some games were released in the year of my birth.. , i miss my childhood

Just when i needed it! thanks!

Three eyes boy, Mitsume ga tooru

I’m not even saying excite bike is a bad game... but it’s better than all the mega mans? And a remarkable amount of fun in depth gaming experiences

Was Ghost and Goblins not the hardest game ever?! I used to get so frustrated! Loved Kid Niki and Rygar.. cheers!

Can't believe Mitsume ga Tooru (The Three-Eyed One) is not on the list :O

Faxanadu in my top 15 for sure. They should make a new one. Music was great.

90s games is the best god.damn it kinda miss it man

Did anyone notice that it was startropics 2 that they showed the gameplay of? I'm like 90% sure those worms weren't in the first game

I don't agree with many of the games on this list!! Several games that's good didn't make the list and some should be ranked higher!!

Buying a cassette with Rs.150 was. huge expense those days

Ice Climber is on this list... wow.... Some other really questionable placements as well. Double Dragon 3 better than 2? Not by a long shot.

Was pissed when I put in the infinite lives code for Spy Hunter on Game Genie and found out it doesn't have an ending. Those bastards!

they forgot tiger heli, snake rattle n roll, top gun, and im guessing its on there but i missed it but tmnt 3, ice hockey, bases loaded 2

crazy 2 think weve played 90% of these games back then and havnt since

Used to love the Ice Hockey game at #100

top one is perfect wouldnt change it

Mario bros,contra,double dragon 2,snow bros and chip n dale are my all time fav😍

Batman is there but where is Spiderman Return of the Sinister Six ?

If only these games are inside the newly released NES/Famicom a few years ago and have them fit in the console...

Dragon Warrior 4 in 39th is a tragedy.

Super Dodgeball!

Startropics was a jam

This list is invalid...Zoda’s Revenge: StarTropics II isn’t on there! Neither is Tiny Toon Adventures or Classic Concentration!
