    In case you are wondering, there will be more Top 10s, but only for systems I know very well. I have not played enough SNES, so there won't be one for that anytime soon. EDIT, maybe I'll catch up on SNES, but I won't have time for RPGs.

      I wanted to ask you to quantify your statements about "second tier NES games are better than second tier SNES", guess that's off the table , too? :)
      EDIT: I did not wanna come off as aggressive, so sorry. I guess people who got the NES in Elemenatary School and the SNES in High School, tend to have a fonder memory of the childhood system. I was 13 when I got my NES and 17 when I got my SNES; and I thought everything was better and more expanded - just like my body/mind :P

    Super Mario 2 was my favorite among the original Super Mario trilogy. Some people don't like it because it's different from the other 2 games, but I like it for what it is. I also liked the lack of a time limit. It takes the pressure off, and gives you all the time you want to explore.

      It wasn’t the game itself that I had a problem with. SM2 was a blast to play. My issue with SM2 was finding out after I finally beat it that the whole game was just Mario’s dream. I hate it when games, shows, or movies do the whole dream sequence as an episode to explain everything.

      Why be ashamed? There's always such a heavy emphasis on gameplay but it's undeniable that the aesthetics and sound design and worldbuilding of a game are just as important. Godzilla for the NES has some wonderful tunes, huge beautiful sprites, and a dark and threatening atmosphere. Even if it's frustrating to play at times, it's easy to get absorbed into the world.

    Totally agree about Mario 2 and 3. Of course in the 80s we had no idea Mario 2 was a re-skin of another game. We loved that it was different. It was the one of the few games my entire family enjoyed playing. Star Tropics is probably my favourite atmospheric game for the NES. I also played endless hours of Punch Out. I even got to the point that I was able to TKO Tyson in the 1st Round (yes, it is possible). Picking it up thirty years later on my NES Classic, I get utterly mauled once I get past the Minor Circuit (lol). And with my love for adventure / fantasy RPGs, I'm still a huge fan of Ultima: Quest of the Avatar. As far as what has the best mix of nostalgia, as well as something I can still pick up today, my all-time favourite on the NES has to be Faxanadu; a game that was mostly overlooked back in the day, but is now getting a lot of love from retro fans.

    @niemand7811 Рік тому +1

    Wait a moment and hear me out on Mario 2. What we got in the West is the actual real Mario 2. Most people won't even realise it due to the obfuscated ways the actual background story gets flipped around ever since. When in Japan they had this Dream Land Theme Park Event, they asked Miyamoto to develope a game that goes along their them park event. But at that time they already worked on Mario 2, which then was planned to be a rather vertical oriented game. So they had many elements ready for Mario 2 and did the Doki Doki Panic flip when they used the existing Mario 2 assets for Doki Doki Panic instead. You may also recognise how rushed some things in Doki doki Panic are like the waterfall animation as an example. So we in the West did get Mario 2 as it was mostly intended. But due to rather harshly scheduled release dates, Miyamoto did not fully go on with the vertical game experience but let the mix of vertical and horizontal level sections play out as it did with Doki Doki Panic. But in Mario 2 you can see the rather finished animation sequences (again the waterfall animation is to be mentioned). So we got Mario 2, which in Japan got turned into Doki Doki Panic and being rushed at that. But Japan on the other hand was still lacking a second Mario title. So they did another rather rushed decision and it looks like it ever since, the game we in the West came to know as "The Lost Levels". It feels and looks like a hacked Mario Bros 1. And it kinda is. They had to be fast and just re-edited Mario 1 to give Japan its well deserved Mario 2. That's why there are two different Mario 2 games ever since. And as weird as that seems to be to accept the western Mario 2 as the real deal (which in fact it is), it is not that weird at all. Consider how many franchises had their second game being different from the fist outing. Zelda II, Castlevanis II, just to name drop two well known franchises were different from their prequel. And also more adventurous on top of that. Mario 2 (the western game) makes a lot of sense. The actual weird excuse to think MArio 2 Japan was the real game but was not released on the West because of its difficulty is false. Think about how many games have been made tougher for the Western audience. Streets of Rage 3 which has longer life meters for the bosses and sometimes where there was only one boss enemy in the original game we got two instead. Devil May Cry comes to mind as well, where on normal mode you only deal 90% of the damage you do in the Japanese game. So don't let anyone fool you to believe the difficulty excuse talk. But no matter what you believe and believe to know about Mario 2, in the end when Super Mario All-Stars was released we got to play four Mario games in a nice package. Aren't we all happy about that?

    6:08 The ROM hack titled "Metroid + Saving" includes a scrollable map appearing when the game is paused. It also replaces Metroid’s password system with a saving system, offering three save files. The file selection menu shows the player’s equipment, and as an added bonus, the player’s health is now saved (no need to grind for health every time you resume your game).

    Unfortunately, the real ending requires both players to survive the final boss. I could reach and beat the boss by myself, but never got my sister to survive. I never did see the true ending.
    I also liked Rainbow Islands, sometimes called Bubble Bobble 2. It's a similar "gimmick puzzle" have with wacky levels and enemies.

    My top 10, in no particular order:
    Battletoads
    Mega Man (any of them, but 6 is still my favorite)
    Super Mario 3
    Silver Surfer
    Kirby's Adventure
    TMNT 3: Manhattan Project
    Dr. Mario
    Adventure Island 2
    Gun-Nac
    Bucky O'Hare
    And on top of all that, there are still a TON of great games to go through. Gargoyle's Quest 2, Castlevania, Zelda, Joe and Mac, Crystalis, Double Dragon, Journey to Silius, Ninja Gaiden, Mighty Final Fight, etc, etc, etc. I still think it's my favorite console of all time, though I do love the SNES as well; I've just played more NES in my life, I suppose.

    You Like Lifeforce, Gradius and Contra You should definitely play the only released for the Famicom (Japan) Gradius II the experience of playing that one feels like all three of the aforementioned games rolled into one You should definitely check it out.

    I really like how you specifically state things you like about the gameplay of each game. Like the jump in blaster master and how it feels. It gives this list a unique feel compared to the infinite other ones I've seen. Really enjoyed the whole video and I agree that Pinbot rips!

    Hell yeah! Castlevania or 3 is a must.

    I like that you note that your list is a personal favourites top 10 list
    and there is this idea that everyone must like the same 10 games (when growing up not everyone had the same 10 games)
    the first game I saw on the Genesis I think might have been altered beast, and I was impressed by it's graphics when I saw it, and I thought the gameplay looked good.
    some people probably had a great time playing frogger in times past, and might even rank it their favourite game of all time
    some people probably liked the atari donkey kong game, and it could be their favourite game of all time
    some people might have had a great time playing cards, and have better memories playing cards than playing video games

    The cape in Mario World was a great evolution from the tail in Mario 3. Using that again would have led to repetitive gameplay and the Mario games likely survived to this day, like Zelda, because they kept innovating and changing the gameplay. Using the cape requires skill and adds a completely new dimension to the gameplay, while the tail is merely button tapping. Some secret areas could only be reached through absolute mastery of the flying in Mario World. I thought it was great.
