My mom bought me the Rocketeer on SNES as a birthday present...whenever she would catch me playing Super Mario Bros or Link to the Past I'd tell her "I already beat it and it was awesome, thanks mom" she was always happy to brag to her friends that she could shop for her son.. I didn't have the heart to tell her... although one year... she made it up with Secret Of Mana..
My Mom somehow had impeccable taste in games. I hated her for a little bit for buying Ghosts & Goblins because it was too hard if I only knew. I think having a subscription to Nintendo Power helped with her game decisions. I had SMB all, Contra, Metroid, TLOZ 1& 2, RC PRO-AM racing, Castlevania, Bubble Bobble, Megaman, Track and Field (killed your fingers), Excite Bike, Paperboy, Street Fighter 2, Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden, Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy, Double Dribble, Tecmo Bowl, Blades of Steele, World Soccer *the one where the player did a spin kick, Donkey Kong, Joust, and many more. I loved my childhood.
Lester the unlikely remake is about to come out soon, it's gonna have the same graphics as Magnavox Odyssey "games" were lester is just a dot, and they give you overlays to put on your TV! On the switch version they give you a marker to draw on the screen😆
@@baalfgames5318 well if they were gonna make soccer They could at least make it futuristic. Like the theme of other mega man games. It just looks ridiculous tbh. Like someone making a game of dracula doing his dishes.
It really wasn't, especially by the standard of sports games in its day. It played every bit as well as the FIFA games back then, but all the characters had unique special moves. It just catches a lot of flack because, well... Mega Man Soccer.
It's probably because the game didn't having an ending. After you beat Wily in either mode, the game goes back to the title screen. However, there's a cheat code that allows you to get to the ending if you beat Tournament or Capcom Championship Mode.
@@jasongaspar7058 I like Batman Soccer, Smurfs Soccer, Bart Soccer, Transformers Soccer, Full House Soccer, Mr Beleveder Soccer, Perfect Strangers Soccer.
The fact Hong Kong 97 isn't number one, says a lot about the rocketeer XD Hong kong 97 was one of those independent joke games and wasn't meant to be serious or to be distributed. I assume that's why it's not number one.
I think that honestly deserved to be explained more why he felt that way. Both games are horrible beyond belief but I believe that AVGN could’ve given more insight describing how The Rocketeer managed to be even worse than Hong Kong 97. Very interesting opinion but I think there needs more depth of insight to describe things. I’d be very intrigued and interested to what AVGN believes is the worst game ever made of all games. I think that should be a topic discussed and have an answer discussed one day. I’m sure it would be mind blowing to see what that game would honestly be.
“I've heard five second music loops before, but never with lyrics!” The closest I’ve heard are the minute and a half loops in the N64 Pro Skater games.
For the Rocketeer game you had to look at the small screen at the corner in order to know your plane's position, never understood why they didn't make it the main screen.
I loved Megaman soccer. It was pretty awesome how everyone had their special powers to make shots and break defense. Controls we kind of sluggish but everything else was fun.
How a game manages to dethrone Hong Kong 97 is beyond even the deities people believe in. And when I say dethrone, I'm not referring to a Monarch's throne.
Except they had the right idea. Look what happened to Hong Kong after China took over. They broke all the agreements they made and the people there now live under totalitarian rule.
When I saw that Hong Kong 97 was "only" in 2nd place, my jaw hit the floor. How bad do you have to be to be worse than a game that includes a picture of an actual dead person?!
Mega Man Soccer was fun. Used Bomb Man as a striker and Toad Man as a goalie (forget who else). It was a rental, would have gotten super old quickly I'll admit.
Is it bad that as soon as I heard the Hong Kong 97 music, I got the BIGGEST smile on my face and just started jamming? It was like hearing a long lost friend, lol
i remember a magazine review of "megaman soccer": you should see the "level password" screen... an 8*8 grid of COLORED SQUARES! ... "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!"
I find it so funny that the latest AVGN episode is a clip show, given that James has recently admitted that all he really does these days is read the scripts.
Dude I beat it at age 7 back in 1995. I did exactly as he described. There's nothing special, you win and nothing else happens. I stopped playing it after that.
started watching AVGN in october of 2006 and I'm just happy you're still around and just as entertaining to watch as 2006 if not even better! love you're stuff man all the best in the future
I was expecting The Wizard of Oz on SNES to be #1, but then I saw the real #1. choice and heard him rant about it being worst than The Wizard of Oz (SNES). Well, no arguing with his #1. choice.
Man how I MISSED these top 10!!! I`d have put Dennis the Menace instead of Hong Kong 97, since the later wasn`t released officially. Still, I love these videos, hope they come with new ones soon.
I remember playing Batman Forever on Genesis. If you thought the SNES button scheme for that game was terrible, imagine it with a 3 button Genesis controller!
Hong Kong 97 is the worst SNES game overall, because its a disgrace to humanity, but the Rocketeer is a terribly designed game because the designers messed up the levels!
Surprised Super Noah’s Ark 3D wasn’t on there, he said back in 2006 that was the worst game he ever played, though in retrospect, it was just a mod of Wolfenstein.
Weird how he never talked about Hong Kong 97 being an Anti-Chinese Game propably made by some dude in Hong Kong shortly before it was given back to China.
My mom bought me the Rocketeer on SNES as a birthday present...whenever she would catch me playing Super Mario Bros or Link to the Past I'd tell her "I already beat it and it was awesome, thanks mom" she was always happy to brag to her friends that she could shop for her son..

Well, at least she bought SoM instead of Shaq Fu.
Redeemed I would say
All was righted in your world.
No joke, your mom sounds absolutely lovely.

The Batman button rant is so real and relatable.
I remember renting that game. I still have nightmares.
We all felt it
100%
Well I suppose it's about as bad as the BAT CREDIT CARD
I always get a chuckle whenever I see that part of the review lol
You know it’s bad when Lester The Unlikely is at number 6
you know it’s gonna be bad when wizard of oz is number 4
Lester the unlikely remake is about to come out soon, it's gonna have the same graphics as Magnavox Odyssey "games" were lester is just a dot, and they give you overlays to put on your TV! On the switch version they give you a marker to draw on the screen😆
I was sure Shaq fu was gonna get higher but when i see the list he puts out, it's hard to disagree.
You know its bad when batman forever is number 7
You know its gonna be bad when Hong Kong 97 is at #2.
The Hong Kong 97 episode is to this day still my favourite. It still cracks me up way too much :P
Me too
I laughed out loud immediately upon hearing it :D I also commented regarding the music being stuck in my head now haha
It's one of mine as well
That one and Big Rigs are the best of the best!
I liked the earthbound one the best. Others have made me laugh out loud more though
That Lester the Unlikely episode is a classic.
But there are actual speed runs of the game which makes it look easy
When he said this nerd makes me look like Charles Bronson I lol'd...
Aye. It is.
All the episodes are classics.

only if it's produced upside down, inside out and back to front
What were they thinking?!
Let’s go Brandon
I second that!
Come on, Mega Man Soccer wasn't _that_ bad. It just has no excuse to exist, but the game is competent at the very least
It still was one of the worst snes games he played. Maybe he only played 50.
@@chrisrie9499 his game library is bigger than my morning wood
So no I think he hates it because it's mega man.
@@Lilliana1 😂
It's no different than Mario having a go-kart racing game.
@@baalfgames5318 well if they were gonna make soccer
They could at least make it futuristic. Like the theme of other mega man games.
It just looks ridiculous tbh.
Like someone making a game of dracula doing his dishes.
I don't remember Megaman Soccer being that bad. But it has been nearly twenty years since I last played it.
It really wasn't, especially by the standard of sports games in its day. It played every bit as well as the FIFA games back then, but all the characters had unique special moves. It just catches a lot of flack because, well... Mega Man Soccer.

I'm afraid it's stuck in my head now also!

Right, I rented it from Blockbuster like 10 times. I had a lot of fun with it as a kid
Was it really that bad? I remember liking it a lot but I don't know if nostalgia is playing tricks on me
@@umabomber haha same experience. i know i at least had fun playing with two players.

It makes sense for them to do that.
And it will bring forth the end of times
15th Christmas Special.♥️♥️♥️
When ranting about nostalgia becomes the nostalgia
The magic of the post-modern age.
I mean, next year there will be voting age people, who are younger, than AVGN's Simon's Quest video

Can't wait for the 200th episode
Although it's gonna be sad, I think the final episode should take place.
I'm hoping it's a revisit of the Atari 5200.
Wonder what game is going to be
me nether. Can't wait to see what he has in mind to play for the big 200th episode
Plot twist...this was the 200th episode
Mega Man Soccer's pretty decent once you learn the special attacks.
Agreed
I liked it, kinda reminded me of super soccer on the nes.
I liked that game as a kid. Worth a rental at least
I’m amazed Hong Kong 97 isn’t #1 on this list.

I finished the game lol
He eventually figured it out
That’s bad programming.
I love these countdowns! So glad it’s back!
I loved Megaman soccer. It was pretty awesome how everyone had their special powers to make shots and break defense. Controls we kind of sluggish but everything else was fun.
Cutman was always my favorite
he hates soccer (and sport games in general ) that's why the game it's here
Pretty lame of an excuse; James really half-assed it.
cheap shovelware
Same! I loved that game
The “I’m Batman” sketch has always been my favorite. Still cracks me up.
How a game manages to dethrone Hong Kong 97 is beyond even the deities people believe in.
And when I say dethrone, I'm not referring to a Monarch's throne.
A throne of feces
Hong Kong 97 isn't worthy of being added to a list when it was barely even a super Famicom game
I always lose it when he says "'Select' shouldn't even be part of the game!" 😂🤣
Eh, I still think Hong Kong 97 takes the cake, but that’s just me.
I do anything to play that game 🤣
But that wasn't an official game.
Except they had the right idea. Look what happened to Hong Kong after China took over. They broke all the agreements they made and the people there now live under totalitarian rule.
Thing is, Hong Kong 97 was meant to be bad. The Rocketeer was just bad.
When a game is so bad you don't even play it and just jump out the window
I just found your videos a few weeks ago and they are insanely funny. It's crazy a lot of them were done over 10 years ago.
I honestly remember really liking mega man soccer as a kid. Not that it was amazing but it was fun for a few weeks
I missed these. Nice to know James is doing callbacks.
A nice bookend before 200.
I knew Hong Kong 97 was gonna be on here! My expectations were met!
Said No One ever.
That was awsome, it's been awhile since i've seen a top 10 video game list, so that was pretty cool that your still doing these.
When I saw that Hong Kong 97 was "only" in 2nd place, my jaw hit the floor. How bad do you have to be to be worse than a game that includes a picture of an actual dead person?!

Wow! I missed so much those AVGN top 10 lists, glad that they are back

Hong Kong '97 is the funniest episode of the Nerd for me.
No game cartridges were harmed during the making of this video.
But the making of the videos shown within this video... not so much lol
Definitely looking forward to seeing your 200th episode of avgn James
Nice! It's been forever since an AVGN Top Ten!
Is it bad that as soon as I heard the Hong Kong 97 music, I got the BIGGEST smile on my face and just started jamming? It was like hearing a long lost friend, lol
Imagine if Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was on the Super Nintendo
Imagine Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde on the Super Nintendo, being much worse than the Nintendo version, likes The Rocketeer.
Mega Man soccer was awesome. Loved playing it with my friends as a kid back in the 90's.
2:19 one of the best avgn remixes, really has that old-school feel.
The SNES is still my favorite gaming system. Have had mine since 1996

I find it so funny that the latest AVGN episode is a clip show, given that James has recently admitted that all he really does these days is read the scripts.
Strong disagree on Megaman Soccer, that game is great once you know how to play it.
Megaman Soccer was like my second favorite sports game on the SNES. It has no place being on any bad games list higher than the Eek the cat game
here’s the thing avgn hates soccer games that’s why
The only one of these games I've played was Pit Fighter and I find it hard to believe that any of them are worse.
Dude I beat it at age 7 back in 1995. I did exactly as he described. There's nothing special, you win and nothing else happens. I stopped playing it after that.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! It took me like three years to get the Hong Kong 97 theme song out of my head and now it's back!!! 💀
I cant get enough of top ten lists. Awesome
started watching AVGN in october of 2006 and I'm just happy you're still around and just as entertaining to watch as 2006 if not even better! love you're stuff man all the best in the future
I’m surprised Dennis The Menace isn’t on here.
I actually liked that one
That Lester The Unlikely 5 bag always got me
I played Rocketeer as a kid and lemme just say... I'm glad to see it here on the list.
Funny to see that Hong Kong 97 is the second worst SNES game on this list.
Rocketeer probably make more people)
Hong Kong 97 was one of those games meant to be bad, like Desert Bus. Being bad when you weren't even trying to be bad is even more bad.
I was expecting The Wizard of Oz on SNES to be #1, but then I saw the real #1. choice and heard him rant about it being worst than The Wizard of Oz (SNES). Well, no arguing with his #1. choice.
Its been what, 7 years since the last countdown? Its nice to see you guys making updates right before episode 200
I'd just got that Hong Kong theme out of my head! And now its back in there!
Bruh, Megaman Soccer is a great game, played it a lot when I was a wee lad
brrrrehs
Been a while since we've had one of these list videos
Man how I MISSED these top 10!!!
I`d have put Dennis the Menace instead of Hong Kong 97, since the later wasn`t released officially. Still, I love these videos, hope they come with new ones soon.
A perfect ending to a tough work week. Thanks guys!

I'm patiently waiting for Lester the Unlikley 6 to come out on DS
The Batman episode is one of my favorites.
We brazilians love you James 🇧🇷
CONGRATURATION!
I remember playing Batman Forever on Genesis. If you thought the SNES button scheme for that game was terrible, imagine it with a 3 button Genesis controller!
I still think Hong Kong 97 should be #1. I never heard the nerd break character like that before such a horrible classic
Realistically though, the game was never released and was also made to be bad. It's worse when being bad wasn't even the plan.
Your reaction to megaman soccer is glorious!
Great. Now I gotta rewatch all these episodes.
I actually like Mega Man Soccer. IMO it deserves than to be on this list.
I thought Wizard of Oz would be number one. But with what he said right there in the clip I guess he couldn’t have chosen anything else.
Megaman soccer was fun , I doubt he even played it ..
Hong Kong 97 is the worst SNES game overall, because its a disgrace to humanity, but the Rocketeer is a terribly designed game because the designers messed up the levels!
Megaman Soccer isn't that bad, not great, but not bad enough to be on a top 10.
Nice one james. I know all those games so I relate to you very much :)
Surprised Super Noah’s Ark 3D wasn’t on there, he said back in 2006 that was the worst game he ever played, though in retrospect, it was just a mod of Wolfenstein.
This feels like an apology video and I accept.
Great, now Hong Kong 97 music is in my head :D
Weird how he never talked about Hong Kong 97 being an Anti-Chinese Game propably made by some dude in Hong Kong shortly before it was given back to China.
Great to see these return, will you ever do one for Genesis games?
Still waiting on a review for MegaMan soccer.
