10. Super Mario Bros. - First Mario game to change the industry forever 9. Final Fantasy - First RPG but not come close to its sequels for the SNES 8. Metroid - Important video game to have explorations 7. RC Pro AM - First racing game before Mario Kart on the SNES 6. Wrecking Crew - Underrated but fun arcade-style game
I'm not going to yell at you, Derek. I'm merely going to post the *correct* top ten: 1) Super Mario Bros. 3 2) Super Mario Bros. 3) Mike Tyson's Punch Out! 4) The Legend of Zelda 5) Super Mario Bros. 2 6) Kid Icarus 7) Castlevania III 8) Metroid 9) Kirby's Adventure 10) Star Tropics
The NES was great and all, but here is my top 5 systems that I like more than the NES: 5 - Sega Genesis 4 - Nintendo Wii 3 - Turbografx 16 2 - Super Nintendo 1 - Game Boy Advance
o.o The Nintendo Wii is the worst home console made by Nintendo I've ever played.. What's the reasoning behind you favoring it over the Nintendo 8-bit?
GreenSoap Well, there's a few... First of all, outstanding 1st party titles like Super Mario Galaxy, Wario Land Shake it, Donkey Kong Country Returns and Metroid Prime 3... Second, a big bunch of really good hidden gems like No more Heroes, Excite Bots Trick Racing and Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom... Third, Virtual Console! It allowed me to get into consoles that I'd otherwise never have experienced like the Sega Genesis, the Turbografx 16 and the Neo Geo. 4th, the last good Castlevania game which is also an exclusive title, Castlevania the Adventure Rebirth, after that, the series hasn't recieved a single good title... I'd almost consider the Wii to be the best console ever if only for the fact that you can play SNES, Genesis AND Turbografx 16 on it! The DS is the worst in my opinion...
Ruko Michiharu I can agree with the first thing.. But you forget that almost every single solitary game on the Wii is ruined by the cheap gimmick it imposes -- motion controls. Every Nintendo console has good 1st party titles. 99% of the Wii's library is shit. The virtual console is nothing more than glorified emulation. I softmodded my Wii so that I could play every single game on ton of consoles. Besides, they pulled the plug on the Virtual Console now as well, yeah? There's no more online play. The original Xbox had not only better online play, but for 12 years! I think the Wii U is the best console of this generation as it fixes a lot of the issues I had with the Wii. 1. The Online play isn't complete garbage. 2. The firmware and menus is a lot more functional. 3. Greater library of Virtual Console games, and more uses for VC than before. Like being able to play the games on the Gamepad. If a softmod gets released that is just as functional, I'll be sure to switch as it too is just glorified emulation. 4. Very few Wii U games utilize motion controls. 5. The technology isn't as outdated as the Wii's was when it first released. The only thing I use my Wii for today is playing retro games I don't already own. If I want to play one of the great Wii games, I just plug it in to my Wii U, so I get them upscaled to 1080p. My favorite Nintendo console is the Super Famicom. The Wii U is high up there as well.
GreenSoap I think you're being too harsh on the Wii and you're not giving it nearly enough of a chance that it deserves... "99% of its library is s***" That's the DS, not the Wii, The Wii has many really good hidden gems, just get past the shovelware and you can find some really enjoyable titles on the system! Try Sin & Punishment Star Successor for example... And well, I have to disagree about the Wii U VC because it doesn't have Sega Genesis or Turbografx 16 which is really sad... Well, at least it has GBA which is really good... But I'd like to have all of them...
Ruko Michiharu The shovelware is 99% of the system's games. I'd say both the DS and the Wii have their equal share of garbage. And I have had a Wii since day one, so I have a few recollections with it. I've had over 50 Wii games in my time, and most of them were critically acclaimed etc. But I still didn't enjoy a lot of them. Why? Because motion controls. Both Zelda games ruined because of the moronic notion that everyone thinks swinging your controller like an idiot in front of your TV screen to simulate swinging a sword is fun. At least the gamepad on the Wii U is a good gimmick. The sole reason for me prefering the Wii U VC over the Wii's is the added functionality like the fact that you can play lying comfortably in your bed with only your gamepad etc. I still hate motion controls. It's a stupid gimmick that deserves to die. Nintendo didn't realize that they can't pull stuff like that again -- besides casuals jumping to smartphones -- it was one of the key factors to the demise of the Wii U.
Castlevania 3 and Contra was on this part of this list. Awesome. Hoping for The Guardian Legend to sneak in the top five. Yeah wishful thinking but it would be funny if it did.
1. Super Mario Bros. 3 2. Street Fighter 2010 3. DuckTales 2 4. The Legend of Zelda 5. Super C 6. Contra 7. Zelda II 8. Batman 9. Mega Man 2 10. TaleSpin
I'm interested in supporting CGR and I'm interested in the contents of that DVD - but sorry you guys, I'm not going to buy any more plastic discs. Why isn't CGR available on GOG.com as VOD?
DEREK. I AM YWLLING AT YOU CAUSE I WANT YOU TO LISTEN. First. Awesome channel. Second. I don't know why it alwats has to be only 10 when the NES had so many great games? Make a 276 best NES games or something. Plus make one about the NES soundtrack. Like Legacy of the Wizard.
Its funny derrick overacts with his hands, you can tell he is a wrestling fan. Wanna get that dvd. If their was a free cgr shirt, the one mark is wearing. Wear it around west texas. Advertisement
Hmm 2 Capcom games and 2 Konami games. I have a feeling RCR might be the only non-Capcom,Konami,Nintendo made game on the list. In fact the top 5 may all be first party games.Hmm Zelda, Mario 3, Metroid, Kirby, sans Mega Man 2?
Mark and Derek are SO goofy. This is why I love UA-cam because of one thing: Classic Game Room.
Interesting start to this list. I'll give my Top 10 after watching the rest tomorrow. Can't get enough NES though. :)
He's hilarious
Who
William Kariuki guy on the video
Borring
Buying a DVD to not have Derek yelling at me? YES!
1:36 - 2:48 this is the best thing I've ever seen in my life
The absolute best video game company. And only legitimate one still in business today.
Thank you Derek, this is a true gift to humanity.

Mr. Boy Except neither Final Fantasy nor Contra are on here, so you're wrong.
ShaZam It's his opinion he doesn't have to like it.
great list so far. i expect to see metroid, zelda, and mario 3 in the top 5
This was a nice DVD feature, but I'm glad everyone gets to see it now.
"Psychodrama" Your Ren & Stimpy fandom is showing again, Derek.
All of these games had amazing soundtracks. I feel like that should get a mention
The NES was great and all, but here is my top 5 systems that I like more than the NES:
5 - Sega Genesis
