Tricky putting Zelda in the honorable mention sir

[SlyBeast]

You got Bionic Commando AND Mega Man 2 for the same Christmas!? Wow, dude that is truly excellent! I'd probably place Bionic Commando in my top 3. I remember, I got a good report card and that meant a new game. I told Dad I wanted Mega Man 2...I wanted it so very bad and he came home with Bionic Commando instead (Toys 'R Us was sold out of MM2). I was furious like the ungrateful brat that all children are in the moment but I played it anyway, of course. My tune changed REAL fast. I absolutely adore Bionic Commando. I replay it at least once a year to this day. Father knows best, kids.

Yeah when I saw Zelda in the honorable mentions I was like this guy that crackpot and then sell that number one. Blew my mind with the trickery.

[screaminpotato]

Great list. I’m glad to see Blaster Master making the honourable mentions. I admit I was hoping to see Rygar as well.

[kikujade]

Bionic Commando and Megaman 2 on christmas? best christmas ever bro

[FlipJF]

Well, now I'm going to play NES's The Legend of Zelda. Your review is awesome, you go to the point and say what you truly think. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

[psychofunksoldier]

I think this is my favorite top NES games list that I’ve seen because there are games I hadn’t considered before and the editing, scripting and clips are really well done!

[TheEasterEggHunter]

Your video just makes me want to fire up the NES right now. PS really love the editing on this one especially during the transitions that is awesome Chris.

[cameronmoore]

Great list! This was a fun romp through a lot of well known and lesser known greats of the NES's library. Adding your own personal childhood experiences of anticipating and playing some of these games really sells how these games were received in their time.

But man... neither of the Battletoads games even in the honorable mentions?! Oh, it hurts!!

10.) Ducktales - I have beaten and completed this game so its permanently retired. It's just anothing shining example of that winning formula that capcom and disney had when it came to their games. Just a perfect example of addictive gameplay with addictive music to make one awesome experience.

9.) Bionic Commando - A game that I surprisingly have never played before.

8.) Mike Tyson's Punch-out - I played the game briefly but I could never really get far in it. I just really need to sit down and dedicate some time toward it.

7.) Mega Man III - The only mega man game that I ever owned for my nes and even to this day it is my favourite mega man game from the original series of mega man games. I have beaten this game and I have completed this game as well, so it is permanently retired. This game still has my favourite robot master theme from the original series of mega man games.

6.) Super Mario 2 - A game that I have played and beaten but I still need to complete this bad boy. I actually have a lot of fondness for this title even though a lot of people I know consider a dark horse title when it comes to mario games. It may be different from the typical mario formula, but sometimes different is good and it can carve a proper niche for a beloved and timeless video game mascot.

5.) Super Mario Bros. 3 - My favourite mario game of all time and even to this day it is my favourite nes game of all time. Simply a game that every household had and a timeless classic in every sense of the word. I have beaten this game several times, but I haven't completed it as of yet.

4.) Contra - I haven't played the nes version of contra in a very long time, but I'm overdue to give this beloved classic another try so I can beat it plain jane vanilla style and permanently retire it for good.

3.) Ninja Gaiden - I have played this game quite a few times when I was younger, but I haven't been able to beat it but hopefully someday soon.

2.) Mega Man 2 - I don't have as much fondness for this title as much as everybody else but I still recognize its importance to video games and the mega man license. I actually never beaten mega man 2 completely on my own but I'll have to remedy that soon.

1.) The Legend of Zelda - Despite all the times I played this game, I still haven't beaten this game yet. I just never really dedicated time to beating this title, but I hope to change that soon.

An excellent list as always. No really big surprises except for bionic commando since you'll see all these games within a persons top 20 list for nes games all depending on the person and they're own personal preference.

Some good choices. I had very limited access to the NES growing up but the games I did get to play were amazing. Got to love the 8 and 16 bit years!

[MaidenHell]

Very cool top 20. Im 42 now but my best childhood memories involve the NES and video games in general. I remember hearing about The Legend of Zelda in summer school from kids and they couldn't stop talking about it. A year later I got my NES and my mother bought me it along with The Adventure of Link. The original game and Link to the Past the only two games to bloodshot my eyes up so bad from non stop playing.

[PixelGameSquad]

I'm just happy RCR made honorable mentions 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️

[ZMAN_]

The Legend of Zelda was awesome! Save game! Best game ever. I'm 39 tho!

[matthagen]

Totally agree tose 10 are absolutely great games. In many fans' Top10 lists it would be just a matter of ordering.
I would still add Crystalis, Battle of Olympus, Castlevania: Dracula's Curse and Metroid in the my Top10 ;)

[cousinsluggy]

Zelda is so amazing that it's #1 and on the honorable mentions!

[Marchand]

Finally, some love for Bionic Commando!

[valentinesgameroom]

Mario 1, 2, 3, Double Dragon 2, Zelda, TMNT 1, 2
