Today's games 80 % graphics. 20 % pressing x at the correct time. And I'm pretty sure they hide gameplay and fun as a Easter egg somewhere

@@erwinekkel9676 Why make 'good' games when you can make a half-assed mediocre game and 95% of the people who buy it wont care / wont know how it could be improved? Casual gamers ruin everything U.U

lets be honest nes games sucked they started getting good with snes

Ok but the old nes days had a purposefully stupid difficulty, why I love the snes is because they fixed that, but don’t get me wrong I’ll always have fun on the nes

100% emotions ✌️✌️

It was a great game!

My mom doesn't care about video games and one day I mentioned that i have Dr. Mario in my NES classic edition and my mom smiled and said "That game is so awesome"

My mom never played video games, but she played Dr. Mario. Then one time she was playing against my dad, and he was beating the snot out of her. So my dad decides to put his own level all the way on 20 and my mom's sitting at level 6 or something. Made her mad, she never played another video game.

My dad was a Dr. Mario addict for years 😂

Once, as little kid, I woke up and when I was going to bathroom I've seen light of TV in living room. I've decided to check what is that, and it was my mom playing adventure island 2 at 3:00 am hahaha

Lol there's no "games" in my mom's dictionary. My dad, though, would always beat me in every games I had xP My mom would always got mad at my dad when he was "in the zone" - taking control of my console pfft - and would yell "Ugh, just like a child! You're old, do something else useful, would you" Hahaha those are good memories x)

my original nes arived today and i have had a lot of fun with it already :)

Unfortunately I know people who don’t and think 2D games = bad

It was the first video game console where they paid attention to what games were released on it. Doesn’t mean they were all gems, but it was the first console where when you picked up a game on the shelf you could reasonably assume it would be at least playable and more likely than not fun. Atari before it was the closest to this, but it died because there was so much unplayable shovelware on it that you never knew if the game you would get would be good. NES, most games are fun bare minimum, game design finally becomes a thing during this Gen, and most importantly, Nintendo had Nintendo power, so now you had a thing that told you about the games and what it was like to play them aka a review. So Nintendo controlling game quality that was released, coupled with Nintendo power gave consumers the confidence their money was well spent on any given title in a way never before seen in video games, add that most of these games again were fun regardless, that you never felt ripped off after buying a game, only complaint would be too hard/no save systems. But again this was the I think 3rd generation of home game consoles, and was the first console to actually get it right. Remember Nintendo invented the DPad for home gaming.

@@GopherChomper yeah minus the saving part nintendo was excellent in my opinion. Like u said though all games weren't gems but hey was still a great system

@@Driesipops damn i gotta order from smoewhere

no snow bros, no adventure island 3

@@sonictank snow bros was one of my favorites. Sadly i've tried so many of my childhood games recently, 18 years after, and the only challenging ones were mario 3, megaman saga and castlevania saga.

No binary land and twin bee FTW

Dpuble dragon 3 Pow Dead fox Chip and dale n manymore

@@rRekko haha try Little Nemo you'll get enough challenge

Pleeeeeease make a part 2, Gary!

good video though! thanks for the nostalgia!

Bro add Aladdin, Jungle book, adventure island 3, Kung fu, legend of kage, tiny toon adventures, tiny toon 3, Tom & Jerry, bomberman, ...

About 3/4 of the games mentioned I've never heard of

DamnTheBeavers they were fun to play. RBI Baseball was the first good one with real players. Baseball Simulator 1.000 had all kinds of crazy stuff that made it fun. And Baseball Stars is the greatest baseball game on any platform. By far the most realistic feel. Could have done without the Dusty Diamond.

Bases Loaded and Baseball Stars were great - better than the other Baseball games on this list for sure!

I'm just surprised that there wasn't even one olympic game in it. xD

DamnTheBeavers Baseball is the more popular sports in Japan

You’re probably a nerd who never played any sports. 😂

yes Ninja Gaiden 3 . Also Shingen the Ruler

You are welcome! Thank you for watching! (FYI, this is not my list - it's based on user votes. See the description for the link)

March 1990 here. :)

Thanks for the feedback! I've been struggling with this font issue for a while, and I haven't found a good solution for it yet. The major problem is that I'm using pretty basic video editing software that doesn't have a lot of features - like making text easier to read (or even changing font color!). I am looking for other software, though. in the meantime, if you are unable to tell what a particular title is, please post a comment here and I'll gladly answer.

No problem and thanks for responding!

Make a black bar on the bottom of the video so that you can display the name of each game.

Gary can you please send the text files of these titles to sheikhh.rizwan@gmail.com

@@GaryRetroGamer if you haven't fixed the issue yet, an editor I recommend is VSDC Video Editor, it's free with some features restricted, but those features are more advanced.

Yeah and the loser of the fight had to go to the penalty box, punished for being a crappy fighter

right?

Absolutely 100% agree, both hockey games are garbage remove them lol

My heart broke in pieces.

@Danielle Smith lmao why?

@@GriffinX81 Snow Bros, Tiny Toon Adventures and Earthbound too.

Me too. No choice but to play on emulator though

Svarte Dauden ... this is why videogame collecting is so expensive nowadays

I bought the system 2 years ago. I love it.

wtg mom!

Me too. I was born in 96.

I sold my NES and all my games (15-20) games to my sister for like $20 when I turned 15 or 16. Now I'd give anything just to play a few of them. Ninja Gaiden and Metroid were my favorites. Of course Super Mario Bros 1-3 but I played those for thousands of hours hahaha got old.

me 97 and already play console :(

Same, Moms really are the best. I'm thankful I got a chance to play old consoles and be full of joy. Shout out to my momma

yie ar kung fu?

Kung fu was ok but not a top game, it really had no ending it was just start over after you beat the final stage

@@marvinallen7117 NES games in general weren't exactly known for their endings.

@@suchiuomizu yes but kung fu literally had no ending, well you jsd to beat it a bunch of times for you to get an ending

hoorah!

Two of the greatest video games of all time. Hard to argue against them.

Shingen the Ruler

U may have a chance to play old-school video games on the PS5. U can play some of these NES games on the PS4.

Different end bosses.... Mike Tyson in one...and I think his name was the dream machine in the other. Had to do with Tyson's legal issues at the time..if I remember right..I was pretty young lol.

Yeah, that generational jump is a big one. Pretty eye opening; but if you consider 3D graphics, the jump from the SNES to the GameCube is also pretty big. If you have some time, check out my "Evolution of PlayStation" video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6mBgKh9t7DMYKs.html - that shows a similar series of transitions in the Sony family

you must love the gamecube, seeing you've typed it when you were thinking the n64, hehe. The transition from 2d consoles to 3d is an interesting one. I often wonder if the really good 2d that we saw on the snes and to some extent the mega drive was not all that inferior from a visual standpoint to the 3d we saw from the ps1 early on in its life. 3d graphics had a really crazy WOW factor which I think may have distorted the true view of what we were seeing. I thought vf on the saturn looked like magic and I do recall thinking toshinden and wipeout on the playstation looked mind blowing. Looking back now what we see is low res, low poly visuals that don't look anything like we remember.........well, I can certainly say that for myself. It would be good to get a bunch of 10 - 12 year old kids and ask them what they think looks better today. I reckon the snes might get a landslide victory over the ps1 if we choose the games wisely enough.

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting about the N64. :) Early 3D really has not aged well; I've grown up through the transition and even I would say that the MegaDrive/SNES 2D graphics are more visually appealing than early 3D (PS1/Saturn/N64 gen). Hand-drawn art trumps low-poly count/low-res textures.

that's a way better list

Umm, did you watch the video?

Bro street fighter 2010😍😍😍😍....this game is close to my heart....i am glad u mentioned it

yep...

We have the Switch for that now :)

Many NES games also came out on the Master system, PC-Engine, Genesis, and mame so check the versions of those games there.

Should have been top 3 imo 3. SMB 3 2. Zelda 1. MM2 In no particular order but personally MM2 is #1

Shatterhand, gunsmoke

omg gremlins and rush n attack haha jeeez

As an mother fan. Mother 1 wasnt really fun. It had some nice ideas but game was kinda boring after all those encounters

Gun Nac, Powerblade, and Operation Wolf were pretty glaring omissions to me as well.

Shingen the ruler.

I'm just glad it got some recognition finally!

Are you from India by any chance? I was thinking of the same games that didn't make the list haha

Mortal kombat was for the super Nintendo

Parsi Iran Nope there was a mortal kombat for nes as well, probably not original, but there was.

You need a Sega video

Sega mega drive but in the USA it was called Sega genesis. It's like we had a bar called marathon then they changed the name to snickers to be the worldwide name.

The Guardian Legend was #41

I was too and have played almost all

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. To be honest, I didn't make the captures myself, a friend made them for me and I just edited them together for this video. I don't know what she did to get this video quality, but I'll ask her :)

Thanks, that would be nice, man.

Aha! I was waiting for someone to notice that. There is a minor difference: one has the Mike Tyson branding and is technically a different game.

@Da man Alexander it s made with gamefaqs ratings, so it s like an average. And mike tyson really made the game a big challenge and a good memory for many people.
