to check out some great games released on NES back in 1988. Well, mostly great.
Considering that both the Saturn and the Playstation released in '94 in Japan, it's remarkable that there were any NES games at ALL.
excellent point and observation
Japan isn't the entire world though. The west didn't get PlayStation until late 1996 I believe. So no it's not remarkable. There are like three times as many people in Canada and the USA combined than Japan. Let alone Europe. You make no sense.
@@aelechkothe playstation came out in late 95 in na, you might be getting it confused with the n64, which came out late 96. but it really is weird, after all, it was late in the 16 bit generation, to see games come out for an 8 bit is really odd, the genesis and snes had already sold very well by that time.
@@nerbulent I'm probably just confusing with when I got mine which was late 96. But it still came with ridge racer which was a very early title.
It's pretty cool to see how far they managed to push the NES. Some of the best looking games were put out late in the console's lifespan.
I’m sure you’re a smart guy but why say something so obvious? Of course games almost ubiquitously get better as the system gets older. What’s the point of your comment other than for you to somehow feel good aboot yourself?
While it is obvious a console's games would generally get better in time. The comment is underlining the fact nintendo pushed the console for a decade, and still made decent games for kids who maybe werent able to upgrade to the SNES. Also, doing worse ports of current SNES games may actually mean the quality of games worsens in time.
@@canag0dthere is absolutely no good reason for your hostility. There is NOTHING strange with his passing comment on a random freakin’ RUclips video.
Some people got nothing better to do than find stuff on the Internet to be mad or make a big deal about. I've been there myself man it's not a good feeling.
@@canag0dthe fact this comment annoyed you means there’s something going on with you-not the OP
Breakdowns by year are an interesting way to talk about these games, it's cool to see where the systems were at a particular point in their lifespan. Love it!
I remember Wario's Woods being brand new at Toys R Us. It's the only NES game in my lifetime where I truly remember noticing it as a brand new release. Before that I think I just took for granted that all the other games didn't exist at one point and wasn't noticing them come out because I was so focused on SNES and Genesis
1994 was an evolutionary year in video game history. NES wasn't dead but 16 bit was evolving. I never let go of either. They have their qualities forever.
1994 has a strong case for best year in gaming history, along with 1998, 2001, 2004 and 2007 🙂
94 was an awesome year all around, music, movies, video games.
Evolving? Sega Genesis was released in 1989, Super Nintendo in 1990. 8 bit was dead, dude. The Nintendo 64 was evolving would be released in 1996.
It's weird that any NES games came out in 1994 at all. Even the SNES was already long in the tooth at this point.
To put things in perspective, Japan already had the PS1 in 1994.
Couldn’t believe how well Bonk’s Adv. looked and plays on the NES when compared to the TG-16 version (awesome). Liked it so much I got 2 copies!
Zodas revenge and Mario 3 were my only two games for years as a kid. Lucky me!
For sure lol. When you are an 80's kid or grew up in the 80-90's you didn't have access to 1000's of games like you do now & get a lot of them for free. I remember my friend only had 6 games total for the entire Nes Generation. Super Mario 1 & Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros 3, TMNT 1, Blades of Steel & World Cup Soccer. That's it that's all he had for that Nes Generation.
Then even worse my other friend when I was a kid he only had 3 Sega Genesis games. NHL Hockey, Sonic 1 & Golden Axe. 3 games for that entire generation.
If you were only going to have two games for two years, Super Mario Bros. 3 by itself would hold you over and Zoda's Revenge would be a lot of awesome chocolate frosting.
@@tonyp9313this was true for me as well, but video rentals made dozens more games available that I never owned. Something kids today DONT have sadly
6:46 The Software Toolworks! so nostalgic- I had a few of their edutainment games on our Win3.1 Packard Bell before getting a Genesis. 🥲 Love this version had a little NES cart
I was fortunate enough in the mid to late 90s to walk into Funcoland and purchase TMNT Tournament Fighters, Chip n Dale 2 , Bonk's Adventure, and other rare NES games for under $20 at the time. I ended up selling them along my copy of Castlevania Dracula X and Aero Fighters for Super NES and some other very valuable NES games in 2015 to buy my son some clothes for school because money was tight at the time. Sadly my son passed away on Nov. 12, 2020 due to health problems including organ failure at 22 years old and missed the birth of his daughter my only grandchild on January 7,2021.
My condolences brother 🫡
@@HeHealsBelieve Thank you.
Damn homie. Sorry to hear that. Glad to have you with us though.
Sorry to hear that. Did not expect that comment to take such a dark turn. I’m sure you enjoyed the time you did have
Loss is hard. Cherish the time you have. Spoil your grandchild. :)
I was very lucky enough that I got Startropics 2 Zoda's Revenge and Wario Woods at that time which for those who doesn't know Wario Woods also came out on the SNES in the same Year of 1994. Startropics 2 was the true last NES USA exclusive game unlike Wario Woods which was on both the NES and SNES even though the nes version came first and it's a shame that both games were overlooked because of the SNES. Startropics 2 I really enjoy it but I always prefer the original, as for Wario Woods let me tell you this, it is super addictive I spend many hours playing that game. Fun fact Wario Woods was the last and First NES game that has a ESRB Rating in history.
Mega Man 6 was great, I'd say probably 3rd best MM game for the NES. I especially liked the exploration aspect of it, there's two paths (or more? but I think at least 2) you can take in each levels, and each path makes you use the transformation powers, it's a well-crafted game with good levels design imo.
My brother ordered Zodas Revenge from a store that no longer exists, Consumers Distributing. The game didn't have an official release date to look forward too like we do today, it was just labeled as coming in Spring or Summer. My brother called that store every few days for months checking to see if it came in, im sure he drove the staff crazy haha.
Consumers Distributing! Oh man, I bought so many damn games from that place (or, I should say, my parents did).
😂“okay I get it, Simone doesn’t like LJN” 😂😂😂 I hope this was indeed improvised that makes the timing and the line even more funny! Oh man 😂lol
Love this series. It’s been a while. Some great games here.
John couldnt decide on Alfred chicken being good ok or bad.
depends on the time of day.
I love John's tendency to stack adjectives that contradict or conflict rather than compliment - "[insert game] is great, it's incredible, ya know, it's okay, it's decent, it's an amazing play, it's alright." 🙂
Zoda's Revenge is SO GOOD. Really a hidden gem.
It sold far too well to be a hidden gem. It's also highly revered amongst people who play NES games....phrasing.
In 1994, they released the live action Jungle Book movie which probably why they released the game at that time.
If I heard correctly Capcom wasn't going to release Mega Man 6 in North America. Which is interesting because two of the bosses were designed by kids from NA based on a contest in Nintendo Power.
i remember that contest that was a hell of a long time ago
Even though I had pretty much moved onto the SNES at this point and the only NES games I was really buying were used ones, it still made me happy for some reason that Nintendo Power continued to have NES coverage even if some months they were only reviewing a single game.
Love this format. Keep'm coming.
I loved it when you talked about Startropics and showed only the save file menu! 😙
I remember doing that time when the crash tummies were big. They were specials. I even remember recording one. On TV just to make sure I gotta watch it again later in a even ask for the gameboy version of crash dummies for my birthday and I think they even had a short run Saturday morning cartoon for a while Yeah they became super popular for a minute
That sound was James Rolfe slamming his fists in another state
Interesting, here in south america, all these games were widely available back in the late 90's, including this eluding Flinstontes Game.
i heard that in the SNES/N64 era a lot of this "old" games where sold to south american market.
tmnt tournament for nes is the best fighting for nes and one of the best looking game on the system. great work with color pallete, outstanding animation, parallax scrolling, big characters, excellent ost, and superb gameplay. love it
The Smurfs, The Lion king, Aladdin... Even the beauty and the beast I think are 1994. Great video!i love it!
This channel calms me so much I see some games I've never seen and you can tell the effort you put in to make quality videos!
Wario’s Woods is also the only NES game to get an ESRB rating.
Honestly Mario's Time Machine for NES is an interesting game, I would say it's the best edutainment Mario game. Not great but, it's neat.
I used to love playing with the Crash Test Dummies action figures.
You put them in a car, smashed them into the wall, and they exploded in different ways… they even made a dog, a cat, and a baby in a car seat…
AWESOME 😎👍💯 TOO MY FRIEND 🎸🎸🎸🎸 AND I LOVE NINTENDO
The NES version of Bonk's Adventure looks great. 😀👍🎮
Hello big fan of yours I had a nes in 89 over here in the UK still love the retro stuff your channel is great the friendly presentation is top notch john !
Please make Famicom game videos (tier lists, lists etc.). Would be awesome, you have the best showcases.
I haven't played EVERY famicom game but I should look into doing more with Famicom.
@@JohnRiggs understood! Thanks for the reply!
Some pretty great games for the NES for its last seal of approval hurrah! Awesome videos as always, your videos really inspired me for my channel so thank you!
1. Bonk's Adventure
2. Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers 2
3. Alfred Chicken
4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Tournament Fighters
5. Mega Man VI
6. Mickey's Adventures in Numberland
7. Startropics II - Zoda's Revenge
8. Mario's Time Machine!
9. The Jungle Book
10. The Flintstones - The Surprise at Dinosaur Peak!
11. The Incredible Crash Dummies
12. Wario's Woods
13. Trolls on Treasure Island
TMNT tournament Fighters for nes may not be the best game but I love the sprites and graphics!
MM6 is an amazing game. Having spent considerable time playing all of the classic MM games to death and speedrunning them to the best of my abilities, MM6 is definitely worth it. Imo, if you had to play three MM games, 2, 4 and 6 are definitely the most stand out titles with the most addictive gameplay. Sooo good! I wanna play them right now!
I know a lot of people favor MM3, which is fine, as it's better than 5 and 1, but I honestly think these people just stopped their run of MM games back in the days after 2 and 3 and that's also where the nostalgia peaked. I only owned MM4 as a kid, and that's probably my favorite for that reason, but of all the other ones, 2 and 6 are where it's at.
Saying MM6 is in the middle of the pack is fair, as I'd probably rank it after 4 and 2, but we're talking some of the very best sidescrollers of all time here, so ranking them only along their respective franchise brethren won't quite do them justice. 😅
Alfred Chicken is also a bizarre footnote in British politics as one of the developers of the Amiga version ran for public office on the Alfred Chicken Party ticket in 1993. They got 18 votes.
I think The Jungle Book is, like The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy, one of those games where the bootleg is more famous than the original.
Chip and Dale 2 Is really good and original, all bosses are original- good story, fun humor, good design. It feels like a lost episode to be honest. Played through a bunch of times. I pick this over the original any day.
Time for my weekly dose of john riggs. You Never disappoint mate. I feel gutted because most of the games on this list was never release here in the UK. Don't get me wrong I have play them through emulators and game collections but shame was never able to buy the cartridge to have in the collection. Like chip n dales 2 and mega man 6 and so on at the time.
Wow, "The Jungle Book" for NES is "Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure" but on the NES. Pretty impressive for such an early system.
The NES had very impressive games, and had features that really pushed the limits like parallax scrolling. That was a very awesome console.
Great🍾 🔥🔥🔥
Cool video. I remember 1994 well, was 14 years of age. I still own Nintendo NES and Sega Genesis and play them both. It's Ismail Abdul up I Pontiac, Michigan
it was great meeting you at the LI retro convention. hope to be able to make it to your panel next time
Weird…I think 1994 was the year I finally got an NES! XD
Still great though!
I remember I got mega man 6 in 94. Love that game.
The Flintstones was also the source material behind the epic Mario hack “Grand Dad”
I believe all 3 versions of TMNT tournament fighters are part of the cowabunga collection if you wanna try them all out.
1994 good year and times mega man VI and Star Tropics 2 Zodas Revenge the best ones for that year for NES
I was such a huge crash dummies fan. Loved the figures and toy cars
Crash Test Dummies was '93. I remember the ads being all over the back covers of the Death of Superman storyline.
My Tg16 Bonk Loyalty made me not pick up the NES version back in the day. I only saw it twice. I do have Bonk 3 so I'm not all Bonked out
same.
Yes, when Nintendo started in 1985 (it must have been a limited/unadvertized release, cause I definitely would have asked for a nintendo in 95 if I knew about it! I didn't get on until Christmas of 86) they had games organized in series, one of them was the educational series with Donkey Kong JR Math or something like that, the only game in the educational series, then after the launch titles they stopped categorizing them
I discovered Wario's Woods through the Switch online. It's easily top 3 puzzle games of all time for me. Right up there with Tetris and Zoop. Sidenote... after talking to people I think I might have been the only person to ever truly love Zoop
I’m not ashamed to say I’d be willing to play a “Got Milk?” Video game…unless it was made by LJN.
If I can remember correctly the NES Tournament Fighters got pretty good reviews. I didn't play it until decades later, but I really did enjoy it
You had me at "Gleaming the Cube" you Christian Slater fan!! I'll take a copy!
Once mega man X came out I couldn’t go back to regular. The OGs are still great but didn’t care much for the ones after. 3 is probably my favorite next to 2.
You said dash galaxy as I was thinking dash galaxy 😂 👾🙌
I've gotta check out that Cereal Cafe...hope you sell ROMs for us folks who transcended beyond physical to digital retro collections... 😁
It's linked as well. I have them on my itch.io channel.
@@JohnRiggs found them and put them in my Launchbox and on my G Cloud to try after work.
I can still watch the skating montage from Gleam The Cube in my head at any time!
This guy is the king of showing games. He has obviously never played and trying to talk about them.
1994, that's crazy. Almost no one was playing these 1994 NES games.
90's is bad year to access old gen console games. By 94 stores were only selling Sega Genesis & Snes games. It was very limited at that because a lot of the Genesis & Snes games didn't exist. You didn't have 1000's of games to choose from like today.
Now you have access to 1000's of games & way more options to get them. If you want to play Nes games now, you can through roms on Pc, Ever Drives & other consoles that support that. You can buy pretty much a lot of Physical copies to if you want through online stores or even flea markets & Physical video games stores. This is for physical. Then you can access some on the switch, mini consoles & digital stores.
That's just having access to games. Now you can play them with save states & put in a lot of game genie codes up to 20 I believe on ever drives & not just 3-5 codes.
2023 & up is better than the 90's.
The NES finished strong. I was lucky enough to find several of these gems in the clearance bin at Kay Bee Toys back in that era. Long live NES!
By 1994, the NES was obsolete to the point where it would’ve been embarrassing to purchase a new game. No one I knew was still using their NES in 94.
Mario's Time Machine is the true lost levels.
Wooooo! Another video! Always great!
I never have seen the movie "gleaming the cube" but I recall my friends talking about it when I was in elementary school.
It's weird that no one ever mentions The Lion King and Aladdin, which were both official NES releases and were released in 1995. The Lion King is the final licensed NES game worldwide. Actually it's not weird, because they were only released in PAL regions, and Americans don't know Europe exists.
I had Alfred Chicken for NES as a kid lol😂 it was definitely fun
Graphics in alfred chicken reminds me of commander keen on pc
Some of your game footage looks very green, for example Jungle Book. Is there a reason? I love your enthusiasm
*2:41* classic unscripted moment. This is why we love Riggs lol
Wario's Woods is one of my absolute favorite games. Yoshi's Cookie is another fun puzzle game.
Startropics 2 is one of my favorite games.
I dont remember the crash dummies PSAs, but i had the action figures and I remember watching the 3d animated cartoon
You forgot one NES and the name of the game is Lion King.
We never got Lion King for NES here in the US.
@@JohnRiggs you guys lucky because it's the worst NES game ever.
I loved CTD as a kid, had a board game, had action figures who busted apart, stuffies, etc
I remember playing trolls treasure island back in 93. So 92 make sense. And the only reason i remember is because i bought just star fox a week after it was released and my friend wanted to play troll on the nes instead.
1994 was an interesting year for sure. On the shelves you had these games such as Mega Man VI and Wario's Woods, alongside some late SNES games like Donkey Kong Country. But you also PC games like Warcraft and Doom. All of these games would be still on the shelves in '95 alongside Playstation titles as well.
Every time I've heard (and hear) someone make mention of Alfred Chicken throughout my life, I picture ASTRO CHICKEN from Space Quest III.🤣
1994 I was still playing NES, didn't get a SNES until Xmas 1995! Mega Man 6 and StarTropics II are the only ones from the video that I owned. I still have Zoda's Revenge, complete in box.
My 6th birthday was a super Mario bros them birthday party
1994:the year I got my Sega genesis
More of a fan of the earlier NES games
"I get it, someone doesn't like LJN." Meanwhile, the AVGN's ears prick up.
…these came out only two years before the N64. That’s really wild
"Somebody doesn't like LJN".... LOL!
I only played Flintstones recently through emulation. In 1994 I was playing Genesis & Super Nes games. I owned a Genesis in 94 (still do) & played Snes at my friends house which I didn't have at the time, (have it now though) & again played way lesser games than I do now. Far lesser.
I wasn't even aware they made more than 2 mega man games.
Missed opportunity to bring out the 7 Grand Dad meme.
Also, no mention of Wario Woods being the only NES game to have a rating by the ESRB?
Wario's Woods is amazing!! I was surprised by how much I like it :)
Ok so this is amazing to be I always thought books was the mascot and u could play his game ton turbo only. Wow I had no idea
alfred chicken is an amiga port
Love when you do these videos!
Bonk was called PC Kid in the UK, for obvious reasons. :D
Hey man, next time you come to the PNW(western WA) lemme know!
