The same games top the lists bc they're great for a reason. Rating other games on purpose to null the other good games importance is silly. In that case just do list not including the obvious choices
I totally agree with the #1 spot!!! I freaking LOVE MEGAMAN!!!! You left out a few classics tho imo such as: Battletoads Super Contra Mickey Mouse: Adventures in Magic Kingdom Overall great selection of games!!!
Hats off the the 13 year old who beat freaking tetris. Played that for hours when it was new and all these years later this young man does the unthinkable. Congrats to him.
Played Kabuki and Blaster master on late summer 1997, Kabuki is a game i personal would say if you train good enough you can beat it (which i did) that summer at age 13, but blaster master was impossible, not until around 2007 with save state i could finish it LOL
DEAR RETRO BREAK, FOR YEARS THE DREAM MASTER WAS IN MY HEAD GOING THROUGH ABOUT HOW MUCH FUN I HAD WITH IT AS A CHILD, BUT I HAD COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN ITS NAME AND I WAS NEVER ABLE TO PLAY IT AGAIN, THANKS TO YOU I JUST DOWNLOADED IT ON MY PC, YOU EARNED A SUBSCRIBER AND MY GRATITUDE
Blue shadow... so that's how it is called. I always wondered. I so it just i few times when some bigger kids were playing it. Thanks. My favorite one by the way is the one where you transform into animals "Nemo" or something. It is getting hard at the end.
I am a visually impaired gamer, and a huge fan of the NES. I wanted to thank you for mentioning an often over looked aspect of games, the music. There are many, many tracks I found back in the day and I still listen to today. Again great review.
@@josephpowers7155 Yeah, there is not enough room for me to put down all I have, but lets just say I've confused Johns Hopkins twice, as well as scared the carp out of numerous eye doctors. That being said I am an avid gamer and LOVE,,,,,,, well what is considered now,,,,, "retro" games. Thanks for the response.
A couple of game that I always miss in the top games list is Chip and Dale (1) and Jackie Chan action kung fu. Both are a lot of fun. Specially the first one that allows cooperative 2-player game which is quite rare in the platform.
I managed to complete ninja gaiden a year or two ago after a long time of learning the tactics. and after getting meningitis a few months back and having a bit of a hazy memory as a result, I was happy that I could still complete it :)
@@RetroBreak once you learn the specific paths it's manageable :) I'd love to try the master system version, I know there was an arcade version but not sure if its the same as the master system or not
Blue Shadow has an interesting connection with to Ninja Gaiden, Being called Shadow of the Ninja in the US, it was converted for the GB and called Ninja Gaiden Shadow
My top 10 1: Super Mario Bros 3 2: Mega Man 2 3: Contra 4: Kirby's adventure 5: Akomajou Densetsu 6: Ninja Gaiden 3 (Japanese) 7: Legend of Zelda 8: Duck tales 9: Batman 10: Castlevania
Blaster Master!! What a game! That was the first game where I found a bug. If you throw a grenade on a boss and hit pause the grenade will continue to do damage. Wait long enough and the boss dies.
I missed out on that Little Nemo game, when it came out my friends and I were teens and no way would we be caught playing a "little kid" game like that. It's a really solid game though.
is pronouncing the system as "Ness" as opposed to N E S a British thing or am I the only crazy person who calls then N E S and S N E S, as opposed to "Ness" & "Sness" ?
I remember my friend Dave Huber from Guelph had bubble Bobble, that soundtrack will always remind me of Saturday mornings at his house as a kid. He also had contra 2 which was pretty cool.
Great list! I have a hard time putting anything above Super Mario Brothers 3, personally. The sentimental value and what it symbolizes for me (summer break as a kid) mean its really hard to rate objectively for me. There's some good semi-obscure picks here, too. Kabuki: Quantum Fighter is definitely on my "try this out" list and Blue Shadow was a pleasant surprise when I discovered it on Nintendo Switch Online earlier this year. If I had a favourite "obscure" pick that I loved as a child and still love today, it'd be either Burai Fighter, Nightshade, or Toobin (unlicensed Tengen port of a Midway arcade game).
SMB3 is far and away the best game on NES, especially for Platformers. It's the only one that doesn't need any excuses or concessions to be considered great, like "for its time" or anything (like Zelda 1 was good for its time).
Pretty sweet list and a good watch. Would personally go with (in no order): - Mario Bros 2 - Mario Bros 3 - Bubble Bobble - Snake Rattle n Roll - Mega Man 1-6 (fav 2 & 3) - Ducktales - Battle of Olympus - Turtles 2 - Bucky O‘Hare - Maniac Mansion - Dr. Mario - Crystalis - Spike V‘Ball - Double Dragon 2 - Batman Honorable mentions: Zelda, Metroid, RC Pro Am, Tetris, Hyper Soccer, Track & Field 2, Little Nemo, Chip & Chap, Contra, Tiny Toon Adventures, Punchout, Mighty Final Fight
Good mix between classics and some a bit more hidden. I have a lovely Mega Man 4 story. I was brought up with 1, 2 and 5. A bit later I got 3. It took me many hours to finish them all. A few years later I got Mega Man 4 and bought it with my own money. A friend of mine at the time watched me play it and I finished the whole game within two days. While the rest had taken months or years to complete. Still remember those two days as very special. Good friend that one and great game. I understand that Mega Man 2 and 3 are the games most people played but I honestly enjoy all six of them. I see where some are stronger than others but as a whole.. I think they are all very solid. Have a great rest of your day!
so glad to see master blaster on here... *_BUT_* ... no 'conquest of the crystal palace' ... no, 'super dodgeball' ... no double dragon 2.... Abadox, Jackal (not groundbreaking, just fun to pick up and get into in quick bursts)... battletoads... Strider (nobody ever ever talks about this game, so sad) ... how could you not have OG 'legend of zelda' on here? back in the day, i remember seeing the gold cart, then playing it... amazing.....
Ghosts n goblins may be my favorite. It makes the character very fast and powerful, but also makes the enemies powerful and smart as well. While most games turn the difficulty up by adding in a bunch of random enemies, ghosts n goblins makes complex characters and tricky level design.
Bubble Bobble is part of the single screen platformer genre. I loved the other games in the series like Bubble Bobble pt 2(better than the 1st), Parasol Stars (such and ignores entry in the series only had Nes, PCE and an excellent Amiga verson). Them you have games like Rodland, Donkey Kong Trilogy, Lode Runner, Mario Bros and Snow Bros.
Love NES lists like this! Bubble Bobble and DuckTales are great editions to the list that I really need to get back to! So many classics like Tetris and Kirby’s Adventure, the NES is fantastic! Thanks for showing me some new games to check out! Keep up the great work!
My top 15 1. Mega Man 2 2. The Legend of Zelda 3. Castlevania 4. Mega Man 6 5. Mega Man 3 6. Super Mario Bros. 3 7. Super Mario Bros. 8. Zelda 2: Adventure of Link 9. Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse 10. Mega Man 11. Mega Man 5 12. Fire 'n Ice (Solomon's Key 2) 13. Darkwing Duck 14. Dr. Mario 15. Ducktales
Great taste of NES games!! Agree with most of your picks and loved to see some unusual picks like Quantum fighter and especially Blue Shadow, played that game a lot as a kid and still do sometimes, one of the best graphics, sounds and music on the system IMO
Seeing someone that genuinely loves these games makes the video so much better. You can tell you have a real respect for these early games, and it comes through. Subbed and gonna check out some of your other videos
I love the Megaman NES games, I haven't stopped playing them since they came out. Each one has a special place for me, but every time I see someone recommending Megaman2 to new players, I fall into a nerd-rage. Megaman2 has the best music and a cool selection of weapons, but the levels, especially Quickman's stage and the later Wiley stages are full of gotcha moments. Arbitrary difficulty that gets you, because you didn't know it was comming. And that's terrible for new players. You see a big shift away from that in Megaman3 and especially 4, which include these subtle tutorial sections, where you get shown the enemies and traps in an easy way before you have to do it the hard way. So, I commend you for your pick there. You could have easily parroted the uninformed popular oppinion, but you put some thought into it. So, thumbs up for that.
2 also was very unbalanced and the metal blade was so overpowered it almost was a cheat code. Though 2 was a dramatic improvement over the original in level design, as you mentioned, it was still a work in progress. 4 was NES Mega Man perfection and the best Mega Man game on the NES. The graphics were better, the levels were better, the enemies were better, the weapons were more balanced and necessary, and the story was better. 2 did have the better music, but 4 was pretty epic as well.
Good call on Blue Shadow! Also known as Shadow of the Ninja in US. That's one game I haven't found out about until later in life. Thanks for sharing your list.
The whole naming scheme for things with Ninja in the title in the UK is so confusing! Haha, glad you like the game! I know the reception to it is a bit hit and miss.. thanks for watching!
I love people keeping these oldies alive. Blaster Master has been my absolute favorite since the first time I played it. I actually played this a week 1/2 ago. Nothing has beat it to this day. I'm going to try out that 2nd game whatever the was. I'll have to rewatch this here later.Thx man!!! BTW, where is Journey to Silius? Lol That's another Sunsoft game that's as great as Blaster Master and Batman.
Love to see a few surprises on Top 15! And also nice that you put all Super Mario Bros together, same for those Mega Man games! Half of the console is the games and it's so amazing to see how it got so much better. Just compare Super Mario Bros 1 and 3... if you just look at gameplay from these two games you can think that it's games on two different consoles but it's the same. Another thing that I loved is that you showed the game cartridges for each position. Love that! All these top 10/20/... are so personal. I have my fav games and I always hope to see those games as number 1, 2, 3 and so on. We're all like that I believe. But it's always personal. These Mega Man games are so good!! So underrated. Deserve way more success. Capcom's crown jewel!
I totally agree on Mega Man 4. I'll always say it's the best of the NES era. It actually had a story, it moves more fluid than 2, and it was still original enough before the series got a bit repetitive. The mega buster was also perfectly implemented, with almost every screen having a flow designed around giving you time to power-up.
The Turtles games were also excellent and challenging, I really liked them.. Nice list, but as of the most atmospheric/dark game, I'd choose Metroid to Batman any time of day
Awesome video! For me, I'd have to add StarTropics though. If you haven't heard of it, I really suggest checking it out. It's a real gem. It was only released in the US back in the day, so I'm not sure you'd have heard of it, but trust me, it's worth a playthrough.
I haven't met very many people who know about Little Nemo the Dream Master. Though not having the Legend of Zelda is basically heresy, I do appreciate your list. Some of my favorites are TMNT Manhattan Project, Super Sprint, and Bases Loaded II ... such good memories.
So I have a question. Now I know Nintendo Switch doesn’t have all of the old school NES game on the console but is a NES console worth getting in 2022/2023 or should I just play them from my switch and just buy one of the NES controllers for the switch?
I’d say a NES is definitely still worth getting! There’s so many great games that aren’t on the switch, and probably never will be! I did a few NES related videos recently if you want some ideas of games to get for it :)
My mom and dad beat bubble bobble together way back. Didn't see it happen, but they must have played a lot, because it's not an easy game. It's not super hard either, but with so many levels, there's a lot that can go wrong over a run. Especially considering my mom was never really a gamer.
A well curated list! Snake Rattle and Roll is a severely underrated classic (and brutally hard especially in the later levels), and Mega Man 4 is easily the best NES Mega Man imo. Subscribed!
Awesome presentation. Truly fun to watch and your enthusiasm is real. Also that you got Mega Man 4 as your definitive number one spot increases the sympathy. MM4 was my first Mega Man game. I did play some MM2 on someone else' NES but MM4 was my first own Mega Man game and I still love it.
great list! I appreciate these lists because I started collecting for, well, all the cart based systems I've gotten my hands on this spring. I also appreciate that not all of the listed are $200 on ebay.
Awesome I'd have lolo in there, kung fu, then I'd cheat and have ninja ryukenden 3 in there which is easily the best ninja gaiden, and moai kun...oh and id have have gradius in there...and salamander.... and crisis force...and....nes/famicom is just the best. Great vid!
Thanks! I do love loads of those too, I just included ones I actually own in this one, but I might make a follow up including roms I’ve played on emulators too, there’s so much good stuff out there!!

I'm 47 years old and still have my original NES and a ton of games!
it is completely heart-warming to see how happy you look talking about these games, man.
Yesss i think we also feel the excitement, reminiscence of your childhood memories when you are watching video game show on tv
Thanks both! Be sure to check out last weeks episode too for more childhood memories! :D
This is what I like about him too
Truth!
Yes, life seemed so much simpler back then.
For a start there were only _two_ genders...
It is a breath of fresh air to see one of these top 10 videos that isn't a rehash of the same ten classics. Very well done!
The same games top the lists bc they're great for a reason. Rating other games on purpose to null the other good games importance is silly. In that case just do list not including the obvious choices
Always love your videos brotha. You can tell you truly have a love of gaming and you dont just pick the usual suspects. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! I’m working on a very interesting list at the moment! Hope you’ll enjoy when it’s live! :)
I totally agree with the #1 spot!!! I freaking LOVE MEGAMAN!!!! You left out a few classics tho imo such as:
Battletoads
Super Contra
Mickey Mouse: Adventures in Magic Kingdom
Overall great selection of games!!!
Hats off the the 13 year old who beat freaking tetris. Played that for hours when it was new and all these years later this young man does the unthinkable. Congrats to him.
Although Zelda is a glaring miss, I’m glad you didn’t put it just to do so. This is your list and I’m happy it’s authentic. Nice video.

@@jacobwebb2623 have a nice day bud, we will get through.
Great choices, but I would have to have TMNT, Zelda and Link. 😊
It’s a great list tbf
I’d have double dragon 2, contra, journey to silius, punch out & Megaman 2 on mine
Snake rattle and roll is fun, but impossible. The end of the game is a snake licking a moldy foot for eternity.
A couple of game that I always miss in the top games list is Chip and Dale (1) and Jackie Chan action kung fu. Both are a lot of fun. Specially the first one that allows cooperative 2-player game which is quite rare in the platform.
You forgot Kickle Cubicle, Bucky O’Hare, The Adventures of Lolo series, Battletoads and Shadowgate 😉
Its nice to see kabuki Quantum fighter get some love nobody ever talks this game
i agree with your choices... great top 15...
Swordmaster and Cocoron, are just great
I would have put Batman *a lot* higher, but apart from that, great list!
I love this list of games, the best nes games I've ever played😊
I'm inspired to make my own list of the top 10 to 15 or even 20 out of the 750 or so NES games
I managed to complete ninja gaiden a year or two ago after a long time of learning the tactics. and after getting meningitis a few months back and having a bit of a hazy memory as a result, I was happy that I could still complete it :)
That’s awesome! I’ve never completed it, I’ve finished the Master System one though, which I think is even better, but it’s definitely a lot easier
@@RetroBreak once you learn the specific paths it's manageable :) I'd love to try the master system version, I know there was an arcade version but not sure if its the same as the master system or not
Kirby's Adventure and Mario 3 are my favorite NES titles. Still so good.
I'm surprised punch out and super dodgeball didn't make the list.
Bubble Bobble is a Arcade game. I remember sinking quarters on that game at the race track as a kid.
I know mario 2 and 3 are better in many ways, but idk nothing compares to mario bros for me. The design music, colors everything is perfect for me
Blue Shadow has an interesting connection with to Ninja Gaiden, Being called Shadow of the Ninja in the US, it was converted for the GB and called Ninja Gaiden Shadow
I loved Contra, Jackal and many sports games….Tecmo Super Bowl. So many great NES titles
In the RPG department, I add Dragon Warrior IV. That is the best NES RPG.
For Castlevania, I am not good at memorization, and just learned to react. Do most people actually memorize these panels?
I going to play all of these 15 NES games for retro game night.
absolutely spot-on with the bubble bobble soundtrack 😍😍
are the snakes eating toilet seas in Snake Rattle & Roll??? 1:11
Wrath of the black manta never gets any love
My top 10
1: Super Mario Bros 3
2: Mega Man 2
3: Contra
4: Kirby's adventure
5: Akomajou Densetsu
6: Ninja Gaiden 3 (Japanese)
7: Legend of Zelda
8: Duck tales
9: Batman
10: Castlevania
Kabuki Quantum Fighter is one of my all time favorite games, period.
Blaster Master!! What a game! That was the first game where I found a bug. If you throw a grenade on a boss and hit pause the grenade will continue to do damage.
Wait long enough and the boss dies.
I missed out on that Little Nemo game, when it came out my friends and I were teens and no way would we be caught playing a "little kid" game like that. It's a really solid game though.
you missed out on nothing... nemo sucks
Mario 3 on NES is amazing. It's probably a near perfect game as far as having fun goes.
is pronouncing the system as "Ness" as opposed to N E S a British thing or am I the only crazy person who calls then N E S and S N E S, as opposed to "Ness" & "Sness" ?
I remember my friend Dave Huber from Guelph had bubble Bobble, that soundtrack will always remind me of Saturday mornings at his house as a kid. He also had contra 2 which was pretty cool.
Super Mario 3 is just a timeless beauty.
Honestly the simple graphic made it one of the all time best.
No bionic commando, metal gear or rad gravity?
nice vid, good energy, you seem actually genuine
Fantastic. Between undiscovered jems, new hardware, and brand new games on classic consoles this is the best time for gaming
Great list! I have a hard time putting anything above Super Mario Brothers 3, personally. The sentimental value and what it symbolizes for me (summer break as a kid) mean its really hard to rate objectively for me.
There's some good semi-obscure picks here, too. Kabuki: Quantum Fighter is definitely on my "try this out" list and Blue Shadow was a pleasant surprise when I discovered it on Nintendo Switch Online earlier this year.

- Mario Bros 3
- Bubble Bobble
- Snake Rattle n Roll
- Mega Man 1-6 (fav 2 & 3)
- Ducktales
- Battle of Olympus
- Turtles 2
- Bucky O‘Hare
- Maniac Mansion

- Crystalis
- Spike V‘Ball
- Double Dragon 2
- Batman
Honorable mentions: Zelda, Metroid, RC Pro Am, Tetris, Hyper Soccer, Track & Field 2, Little Nemo, Chip & Chap, Contra, Tiny Toon Adventures, Punchout, Mighty Final Fight
Try the Guardian Legend
I would call Bubble Bobble an action puzzler/platformer. Loved playing it in arcade back in the day. Nice list👍
Good list of games. Kind of surprised no Zelda though
Honestly, not a huge fan of the first two Zelda games, probably in my top 20, but I don’t think Zelda got good until the Snes / Game Boy era
Good mix between classics and some a bit more hidden.

The Megaman series... what a time to be alive. If only I knew how stupid I was about growing up fast!
The Turtles games were also excellent and challenging, I really liked them.. Nice list, but as of the most atmospheric/dark game, I'd choose Metroid to Batman any time of day
IM SO STOKED ABOUT YOUR NUMBER 1 ! ITS MY FAVORITE TOO!!
I always feel alone in loving MegaMan 4 the most
Awesome video! For me, I'd have to add StarTropics though. If you haven't heard of it, I really suggest checking it out. It's a real gem. It was only released in the US back in the day, so I'm not sure you'd have heard of it, but trust me, it's worth a playthrough.
It was also released in Europe. I had that game in physical form as a kid. :-)

My mom and dad beat bubble bobble together way back. Didn't see it happen, but they must have played a lot, because it's not an easy game. It's not super hard either, but with so many levels, there's a lot that can go wrong over a run. Especially considering my mom was never really a gamer.
Dude, I think hanging your place growing up would have been so much fun. Great taste in games as well as a great hang. Mega man is the GOAT as well.
I don’t believe it I have all of these games on an NES Classic I bought on EBay a while back, I’m definitely going to give them a try.
Awesome! Enjoy!
A well curated list! Snake Rattle and Roll is a severely underrated classic (and brutally hard especially in the later levels), and Mega Man 4 is easily the best NES Mega Man imo. Subscribed!
Awesome presentation. Truly fun to watch and your enthusiasm is real. Also that you got Mega Man 4 as your definitive number one spot increases the sympathy. MM4 was my first Mega Man game. I did play some MM2 on someone else' NES but MM4 was my first own Mega Man game and I still love it.
As soon as I saw that hair-whip attack on the Kabuki game there, I was instantly reminded of Shantae, who also uses her hair as an attack.
Great list but no Contra…
Integrering list, you presentet some new games for me. Keep up the good work!
Great video! I just miss the two Zelda games on that list.
great list! I appreciate these lists because I started collecting for, well, all the cart based systems I've gotten my hands on this spring. I also appreciate that not all of the listed are $200 on ebay.
Blue shadow is Shadow of the Ninja here in the states. Ryu and Kaede are so fun to play as
When did the Ninja rule come in? As there was Last of the Ninja on the C64.
Can't play games alone. Great list. It's going down the memory hole as well as I. No that's wrong for that I would have to remembered first. Lol😂😂😂😂
Blaster Master is my #1. Bubble Bobble was a great couch co-op game.
Hello.. can you tell me.. how much is (Peetan GameBoy) complete.. and how much is ( Mitsume Ga Tooru Famicom )
How was Battletoads not in this?
Awesome I'd have lolo in there, kung fu, then I'd cheat and have ninja ryukenden 3 in there which is easily the best ninja gaiden, and moai kun...oh and id have have gradius in there...and salamander.... and crisis force...and....nes/famicom is just the best. Great vid!
Thanks! I do love loads of those too, I just included ones I actually own in this one, but I might make a follow up including roms I’ve played on emulators too, there’s so much good stuff out there!!
