games

i forgot about a certain part in ninja turtles where there is a jump that is so hard you fall in that water over and over.

classic gaming fuck-up

LOL good point.

it's the sewer, it's poop water. I know they are turtles but c'mon who wants to swim in shit water

Mezase Master -HAHA! Battletoads...I learned I was better off by myself. Then in Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers, I learned to pick up my fellow gamer and carry them so it would make the level easier from their dumb mistakes.

Mezase Master How are we supposed to work as a team when you keep killing me?

warmecanic I actually beat it with an emulator, but using save states so it doesn't really count. On the original NES I think the farthest I got was the level where you're on the unicycle with the Mac OSX colored pinwheel of death chasing you for sport.

John Ernest that's probably as far as any normal person got, i got there once, but i was still to euphoric from beating the final mouse in the race to the bomb to concentrate.

Mezase Master And my lives aren't replenished!

This is how to create psychopath

Link to the past

Teach him to play moonlight Sonata 3rd movement. It has continues, saves and once you complete it you can show off.

Let Him play punchout

djmm I remember playing that game as a kid with my friend and I physically cried with tears in frustration and anger.

Nichita Bailuc -I agree and luckily new gamers never have to experience it..man the countless hours I wasted for only my time to run out with no save. New Gamers have it so lucky!

Nichita Bailuc Arcade Style, man. How many games weren't finished by it.

Nichita Bailuc No. The biggest BS is eating and aging in the game "Darkstone" for example. I want to play, not to eat and sh1t in virtual world.

Nichita Bailuc Limited or no continues are even worse. Start a whole game over because you fail one too many times? Fuck that.

Yeah, it's one of the #1 unnecessary difficulties in any game.

Edward Finley lmfao

It works haha 😄

Unless if they God at battletoad :/

Isn't there a glitch in the orig version of the game that makes it technically impossible to finish with two players or something?

I forgot how bad two player was in Battletoads. This comment made me laugh so hard I cried.

Never cheap? Try playing Squid Adler's stage in Megaman X5. Adler himself is easy, but his stage is plain unfair.

@@gigachadcooper7381 X5 is definitely the start of the decline. I was more referring to the original X titles on the SNES.

So true especially on a 3ds

Is it as hard as ghosts n goblins?

Yeah about the same but does not make you repeat the story twice.

in both games you have infinite continues, but Ninja Gaiden when you continue you start at the beginning of the Act instead of the last stage you died on.... however there is a stage (5-3) where you can get an extra life then go back down the ladder you came from and come back up and get the life again... you can do this over and over as many times as you want for mutiple lives, it makes the game a bit easier for the last act

+Mike the Nintendo Master Nowhere near, the smooth controls alone, makes it easier than GnG imo

Sean Ward! :D Love your videos!

specially the patience, omg, he has an immense patience to go through games like the red ridding hood @.@

The Sean Ward Show lel says a Spiderman video maker.

hes like a human volcano dormant for so many years and finally errupted on youtube.

lol, even he gives up and doesn't finish a lot of these games.

+JohnACorp782 Nope, just Battletoads.

Play japanese version, it is a lot better.

Exactly

@@user-hk5vj3lf5t Byrou Birry?

@@louyork8379 ???

Start at 0:00. You're welcome.

That's Uncle Fester from the Addams Family?

I thought Ninja Gaiden 3 was the hardest in the series.

JJ18355 no I’m pretty someone did it years ago

SOLOMONS KEY HARDEST GAME

Lukey Puke Lol

Lukey Puke Why do you think he hates time limits so much?

+Saddam Hussein Saddam was here?

+bob bobq what about when a bomb is about to go off? time limit still illogical?

+Ádám Pajor Where else was he gonna go, Detroit?

The Count My favorite Castlevania is the fourth edition on the SNES. I play it on my RetroPie often. Its one of my fave 2d side-scrollers of all time... :D

😄😄😄😄

More like trying to solve an insane math problem no one has solved before in a few months.

+Mark Cysts I still cant beat the game

emyouel I was able to beat it once when I was a kid and there were four of us working the NES for a whole night during a sleepover back in '89.

You all got Achievement the True Ninja Gaiden lol

In 2016 when I was 16, it took about a month to figure everything out. I even developed some of my own methods to get through hard parts. The game isn't really so hard now once you figure everything out and run forward most of time

Fun Fact that mechanic in Ninja Gaiden that sends you back to 6-1 if you die on the boss in 6-3 is actually a glitch that they left in on purpose.

Then nintendo took galoob to court

I beat most of these games without one.

Still better than GTA 3 though 😂

Did you know the Game Genie was made by the British studio, Codemasters? You can thank the talents from the UK for making NES games more playable. 🤣

This had me rolling lol

Avgn is awesome XD

He totally is. Too bad I don't have video evidence that I beat Castlevania but I did. I did use restore points on the Wii U but I don't care, I still beat it.

Hey sly how are ya

I'm ok

***** hey I believe you that shit is fucking ridiculous.

I beat that game. Man I must have died a thousand times each level until something happened. I just got up one day and wrecked that game. Beat it without taking a hit.

That’s why I love playing it with friends.

Likewise man.Almost passed out😂😂

+Chuckzom You got a pretty amazing daughter

Lol

I think everyone loves the AVGN she ain't the only one

Lol Dude, she's still way young for these videos... dude, don't make new gens harder on us. I gotta deal with plenty Young Childhood Jesus wannabes and spoiled gaming brats every weak. It's being hell being a programmer XD

@@benconway9010 The comment wasn't intended that way... he wasn't tryng to be special XD

use the warp zone on 1-2 and go to world 4, get to 4-2, hit the block and go up with the plant and go to 8-1. Good Luck.

I can't get past 8-3. Never been able to beat it either.

arent there only three stages per world?

4 Stages, 3 regular levels from the "world" and 1 in a castle where you defeat Bowser over and over.

the 8-3 level is impossible

Funny how ?

@@tp230 Because he's genuinely funny.

It's crazy how he's been doing the show for over a decade and he's still funny

Does not count it has to be on a Nintendo console

Daniel Watson there is no difference between PSP Nintendo emulator and Nintendo gameplay wise plus it's more compact.

Sal S well I didn't use save states because it's like cheating, but it has it's benefits. Back in the days when I actually had NES I didn't turn it off when I went to sleep so I can continue my game in the morning, save stats removes that problem. Also it's a lot more compact to play it on psp, I can't bring a TV and console to my work :D

scar 2k15 well I personally love my job, I play my psp on lunch breaks mostly

***** nice :)

I found that Death was indeed harder, but the cross was pretty much mandatory.

How the hell could I have forgotten about Castlevania! I never got the one on the original NES, but the rerelease they put on Gameboy advance. I wanted to throw that thing like a brick 80 million times until I finally got lucky and beat it. I haven't touched or even looked at that game since. It's been so long ago I can't remember at one particular point I would call "the most difficult". From what I can remember all of that game made me want to pull my hair out after Madusa.

TooMany Gamez I could never get past the Grim Reaper. I would use the boomerang. I remember once, I thought I had defeated him and he went up in flames, but one of his scythes hit me at the last moment and I had to start over. So frustrating!

I kid you not. The grim reaper is the most frustrating boss in every Castlevania games. Luckily if you own the Wii U, you can use the save states feature. Just save the spot BEFORE meeting the grim reaper. That way, if you die, just load up the save state and try again.

wii1245 3DS does that too.

lol wth XD

Liar. Your a girl, girls don't play video games.

Waterwithasideoflime >:(

Says who?

Brittney Love Don't fall for the bait.... just ignore them....

Michelangelo Hamato what bait? im not leading anyone in?

How?

Dragons Lair is more of a memory test then a difficult game so thats why its not on the list. also I dont think Dr Jeckyl should be on the list because at the core that game is broken.

Nicholas Martinelli I disagree. The game is hard. The fact that you have to remember every little thing in order to even have a chance to beat it just shows how hard it is. And even if you remember everything to do, it's still extremely difficult to beat because you have to time your jumps/ducks/spear throws perfectly because the character moves so damn slow.

well the slow movement is just clunky controlls aside from that its a memory test,also Im sure there is somebody who beat the game some where on the internet that people can follow. mabe back then it was simon says on crack but now with the help of walkthroughs its trivial.

snappy happy I remember playing a game for hours and getting really far and everybody in the room had to be really careful not to touch or move the console. Like don’t even breathe on that thing. 3 ft buffer around the console.

Hahah

Nutley ? Lol

Cuphead and shovel knight are modern games that are Hella hard

Most games today have adjustable difficulty setting, they can either be laughable easy or hellishly difficult (for example try beating Far Cry Primal on the highest difficulty, all difficulty settings are maxxed and death is permanent, you fuck up once and the save is deleted). This is a lot better than just one option: hellishly difficult

Elmerturnipseed the souls games take your hand and throw it

Contra 3 on Easy mode is definitely a cakewalk. Meanwhile, Dark Souls fucks you in the mouth against a stove. Back then, games had to be hard so that they couldn’t be beaten in a rental period. Newer games are hard just because they CAN be!

Lt.Dan The fact that you said every automatically invalidates your point

Depends which generation - AVGN doesn't speak for mine -

lol

haha i found his 8-bit misery humorous as well, we've all been there hahaha

i laugh everytime he says son of a fuck or what the fuck man and when he complained about the knight on castlevania.

AVGN is my new hero. I hate 99% of all video game walkthroughs/reviews but this shit is pure GOLD.

Because we've said the same exact thing playing these games!

"Am I the only one here who has actually beat Jekyll and hyde?" i credit you!

Cool. What Game Genie code did you use?

Yes

drokan bazckos And to think that I can beat Zelda 2...

drokan bazckos I caan make it to Bowser's castle, I just don't remember how to get through it

I'v not only beat super mario bros, but this /watch?v=mb__cjZfOkg

***** it is hard, but it certainly is possible. i'm a 2000's kid to, but i like to play nes games

Who ever made jackle and Hyde, should be arrested for crimes against humanity

10 FEAKING G⭐️LD NUGGETS!!!!! 😄😡😄😡

Ismael Perez Almost as gold as the Golden NWC Cartridges

It's neither as bad or as hard as he says it is, I beat it in less than 2 hours, I can't beat silver surfer

Yeah it's all kinda a joke. I finally got a chance to play it. It's bad, but nowhere near as bad as the AVGN says it is.

Gray-z I think it's just that James was super traumatized by it as a kid and then it sort of became a running joke that AVGN hates it so much so they ran with it. As for difficulty I can't testify for it myself but if Bootsy can't beat it it has to be pretty hard. I mean Bootsy has beaten Battletoads and Silver Surfer...

+Gray-z Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde isn't even the most difficult, if you consider that Ghosts 'n Goblins requires extreme precision and skill, and that you have to finish it twice with the right combination of weapons (in the right order to advance better). Dr. J and Mr. H. is a matter of understanding how the game works (mechanisms) and to try to master it. It's less unfair than Ghosts 'n Goblins, which in the arcade version was even worse, making you restart from the beginning of the level (instead than in the middle) whenever you died and had to continue. The game that must go second in this list, after Ghosts n' Goblins, is Ninja Gaiden, probably one of the hardest games I've ever seen.

I remember it being easy and now I remember why, turbo contoller.

Yup...

dude, i'm playing it again...i thought it was gonna be easier... it's harder as fuck... >_

Raschid Alonso I've played it not long ago. Felt like a god just for reaching the end and died lot's of time for the Joker.

I just picked that game up again, and yeah, it's tougher than I remember. One of the best Batman games, though.

deathstar*

***** *Death Star

I loved that game! Yeah it was hard, but not as hard as Turtles I

SantaDog81 dear ester

2 not that hard compare to ninja gaiden 1 but ninja gaiden 3 i could even beat the 3rd level and no unlimited continue whyyyyy

What NG3 is the easiest of them hardest thing is the fight with Clancy.

Lol 3 was easy with game genuine maybe

Maybe you beat ninja gaiden 3 razor edge

Ninja Gaiden 3, the return of Foster (his boss battle is laughable, he can't do anything most of the time), a BS scene where Ryu tells Irene he must go alone to the dimensional fortress because of "some super human power" or something, a final battle with a guy that has 3 forms (super armor guy, guy sticked to the wall and a giant mech with a face made of glass that casually shows his weak point: a heart). I haven't played the NG3 for newer consoles, and will probably never do unless I find it for... 5 USD.

lol same here. I remembered how many weird games I actually played back in the day haha.

It was funny as shit. I actually got frustrated watching (going back to my childhood, swearing and crying).

1.21 gigawatts it's not impossible you just need practice and skills

I’ve beaten about half the games on the list. Sorry to say, Tyson’s Punchout is a cake walk compared to these.
