And some of these games (and also from part 1) actually left Japan - Milk & Nuts, Battle City were massive hits in NES Piracy world, used to have NES clone called SUBOR with many of these games included by default :)
@@WithScienceAsMySheperd I don't remember seeing this game in my childhood, but I had massive multicart with 9999999 games on it: including battle city, milk&nuts, tank 1990, super mario bros, hogans alley, duck hunt, prince of persia, tetris and many more :)
B-wings is another one that I found great from my old 52in1. Had the lost level before all-star as most of them had mario 2 but the real japanese hard as ass one.
What I like about games from back in the day even though they can be kinda limited by weak graphics and low complexity they more than make up for it by basically having no boundaries with the imagination. Video games from 80's-90's could literally be anything. Watching these videos/playing these games is kinda like being on a trip or in a dreamland.
Nicee work. I knew of 10 of these with 6 I'd like to try. Never knew games like Insector X got an NES ver. Glad you keep doing these. Good to find some stuff I've never seen to try out.
You are the best, I was looking for some games but I did't know that they are Japanese exclusive or something. I used to be playing them in Turkey with fake NES console that everyone called them Atari.
Nice vid, also nice job including City Adventure Touch. I just finished that anime and found out there's a game for it. The Garfield game is absolutely dreadful lol.
One of the best Steamkey's yet -- it's 16-bit-inspired BLAZING CHROME developed by JoyMasher, fantastic-looking game. Cheers, Gary! I find this video inspirational -- makes me want to dig into the NES/Famicom. 3rd gen is the gen I know the least, since I was off at college with no access to videogames at the time. But some of these games look otherwordly and fun! Those of us outside Japan missed out on so much here -- though of course games were really expensive back then anyway. Most of us could only afford to buy a few. A lot of people complain about game prices today, but back in the late 80s in the US games were between $30 and $50 (which is $70 to $115 in 2021 dollars, though we must keep in mind that wages have not kept up with inflation). I wonder if games were even more expensive in Japan back then (which seems to be the case today)? In the States, renting games only started in earnest with 4th gen SNES/Genesis. I read somewhere in the past that Nintendo *hated* game rentals, thinking (wrongly, I believe) that it would eat into their profits, suing Blockbuster in the early 90s etc. In Japan, copyright law back then made renting games illegal (not sure about more recent times). Which means a lot of these gems were only played by a few thousand people...
For sure, picking up an NES games was a risky investment - because not only was the internet Not A Thing back then (preventing easy research on the quality of a game), but the price - as you pointed out - was pretty steep for each cartridge. In all fairness - while creating the video - while most titles were interesting in one way or another - I would not necessarily say that they were immensely playable. The 3rd gen is still very much a formative stage in the evolution of gaming - and many gaming conventions are still in flux. In short, I'd highly recommend *trying* titles (by whatever means available) before spending a fortune on imports. Similarly, I vaguely recall something about a video rental lawsuit; I mean, there's no question that the rental market cost Nintendo some sales; it's just a matter of how much sales it cost them. If I recall correctly, it ended up being not very much. A much more controversial topic was the sale of pre-owned games during 8th gen - but let's save that topic on for a PS3/Xbox360 video!
A really neat side effect of this video is that it shows a pretty good horizontal time slice across the lifetime of the library; we see early titles all the way to late titles - and the difference between those is fascinating. It's always great to see how much a system's technological capabilities are exploited over time...
Hi there! I don´t know if this is the right place to put this question but i need help from some who knows a thing or two from the games from ps2. Its a very vague memory yet i feel like this was yesterday... Its a scary game, i don´t remember if it was a fighting game but it feels like something like that. The scene thats stuck in my head is like a house, normal house, but you hear a distant sound of a child crying. Once you ear that the camera climbs the stairs and meets a closed door (white door i think). When opened you would see like a bloody cage jumping like something wanted to escape. I could say that the cutscene was like a "Thrill Kill" type of animation to. Like a small animation introducing someone you know? I don´t know if this helps but i played the game in like 2008/2009 something like that.
@@TheLinguini188 Hmm ... the game doesn't ring any bells to me; but it sounds like it could be a horror game of some sort. I do have a video of horror games on the PS2 - so maybe give that one a watch and see if it comes up? ruclips.net/video/3Orj63kvxAo/видео.html (Bear in mind that 2008/2009 - most gamers had moved onto the PS3/Xbox360...so it might be a title on one of those platforms)
@@GaryRetroGamer I´ll give that a try, yet the scene was like a before gameplay thing. Im gonna see one by one trying to find like the full gameplay Thanks for the help :D
im from south america and blown away I actually got to play battle city, but the game wasn't released in the us???? did people in the us get to play it anyways?
This video I saw already, but I was thinking at a video with underated games, just like the last video "100 Japan Exclusive Famicom/NES games" but instead of Famicom/NES is Gameboy Advance
@@GaryRetroGamer by the way I like those games, I chose moon crystal for beggining and oh boy, story: amazing, graphics: pretty impressive for a nes console and gameplay: unique, challenging and amazing
Most of these are actually playable without a patch. I picked them because they either have English text, or very little Japanese. I think the only exception here is Famicom Wars - which I used a patch for in the video.
#8 battle city and #70 pac-land have us releases on the namco museum archives vol 2. 53 kunio-kun no nekketsu soccer league, 62 nekketsu kakutou densetsu, and #63 nekketsu! street basket I believe are on the double dragon & kuni-kun bundle. Plus others like #23 exerion, both ninja-kun games #64 & 65, #39 halley wars, #76 route 16 turbo, and #84 super arabian you'll find the arcade versions as part of the arcade archives series on current gen consoles.
I am looking for an old game, but I cannot remember its name - it has a somehow sticky/soft creature (probably a pink one), which can throw balls (I am not sure about this one) to kill enemies and also can stick to walls, it can even stay upside down. It is not a platform game.
@@GaryRetroGamer oh man, I wish that more people enjoy playing retro games, but kids nowadays just want 4k graphics, but my opinion: it's not all about graphics, it's all about gameplay, heck I even owned a classic console
@@GaryRetroGamer it was looking like sega genesis, but this console was designed for nes games and was named terminator, I thing it was some kind of a bootleg nes console? Anyway I lie If I say that I don't enjoyed those games that I played as a child
Battle City was extremely popular in Eastern Bloc countries as it was often included on pirate multicarts.
In latin america as well, ahhh, what a memory, 76 in 1 non-repeated games! It was my favourite cartridge along with Prince of Persia.
I know it as TANK 1991 A
ERRATA: Game #47 - Joy Mech Fight is from 1993, not 1983 as the titles say. Thanks @Gonzalo Reina for pointing that out!
OHH GOD FINALLY I FOUND IT! kaiketsu yanchamaru 3!! This was the game I was dying for...

I always love japanese exclusives games for 3rd-4rd generation console cos other than RPG, we still can play them
Bats & Terry - sounds like the 2 guys I saw walking around Caesars Palace.
hello Gary how are you? Congratulations on the great content. which video editor do you use?
Mitsume ga Tooru what a criminally underrated game.
The 47th, "Joy Mech Fight" says it's from 1983 in the video, while in the description says 1993. Great video btw
Oh! Thanks for pointing that out! 1993 is the correct year. I will post a comment.
You are the best, I was looking for some games but I did't know that they are Japanese exclusive or something. I used to be playing them in Turkey with fake NES console that everyone called them Atari.

Number 58 has a lot of Axiom Verge aesthetic vibes

we played it in the famicom clone, i also remember having the macross game in a 64 in one kind of game is repetitive but a grear tune
Most of the games are difficult or almost impossible to complete if you can't read japanese characters especially RPG ones. Great compilations.
Seems to be a lot of rpg games
hello, do you know the name of a japanese version nes game that is about a japanese head that shoots?🥺
Good one yo
City Adventure looks a lot more fun here than when I tried it. I don't even remember there being any combat wtf.
I couldn’t find part one! Please link me to the first part thanks

@@GaryRetroGamer thanks
Anyone know where i can find the game where you can play as a baby or soldier or a character with a whip , i dont know whats the name of it
it makes to scratch my head a few like the macross or the transformers one, they were a franchise in usa, so why they didnt release it
Clu clu land was actually release in NA.
