Ranking every NES game I've reviewed | Cannot be Tamed

It's fun to rank things! Been seeing other people ranking various games and other things and thought it would be fun to rank all of the NES games (plus 1 Famicom game) I've ever reviewed on my channel. All 41 of them.

One of your greatest strengths is your ability to share a genuine opinion on a given game without the need to make sure said opinion matches how the gamer masses feel. You do this with honestly and without spite, and the importance of this cannot be overstated in a genre of gaming-related content that oftentimes focuses too much on popular opinion and over-the-top anger for reasons of online acceptance. I believe you could make more ranking videos like this one for other platforms and/or genres, and they would be just as good. Well done.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Thanks so much, that's a very nice comment. I think I will do some more videos like this for some specific genres.

[@rfk223]

Agreed I really enjoyed this format. Pams critiques offer insightful substance while using such a calm pleasant tone. I watch a lot of gaming reviews, especially retro, and she has her own feel rather than emulating the more hyper/funny/critical/etc manner of most. Peace to Pam and her followers!

[@Progger11]

One of the things I really love about this channel is that you have one of the most unique/out-of-step tastes in games I've ever come across lol. So many games most people love you hate, and vice/versa. Obviously there are plenty of popular games you also like, but your taste is just different enough from the masses that you end up praising games I never would have given a second look otherwise. It's actually helped me expand my own tastes and discover hidden gems.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

That's awesome to hear!

[@Handsome-Jim]

One of the things I really like about this channel is how you review games that weren't as ubiquitous in the '80s/'90s. I probably played 10 of these games, heard of another 10, and wasn't aware of 20 of them before I found your channel. It's cool seeing good games weren't even on my radar.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Thanks, I like to seek out the less known things.

[@FallicIdol]

I played maniac mansion on the NES as a kid so the bulky controls don’t bother me too much. I loved the game once I started to understand what I was doing

[@elvisrobotbeta3299]

Same to me. At the beginning didn't know what to do, but when I put attention in reading the manual, I started to understand. Not the best game, but playable and sometimes enjoyable

[@mattmyers9351]

Great rating video pam! Keep up the good work!

[@mikea.3250]

Cool video! Growing up in the 80s and early 90s, my first console was the NES, with my very first game being Super Mario Bros. 3. A classic. I was pretty much glued to this game and wasn't interested in exploring much else at the time. But now that I'm older and after watching this and some of your other videos, I'd love to try some of these! Great job as always, Pam! Keep up the great work!

Hi Dave!

[@user-ow7zt8wf2g]

Good evening. I'm from Russia. We didn't have the Nes prefix in the 90s. Instead, there was a pirate clone called Dandy. But we also played the game felix the cat. She is cool.

[@oskarkamil8208]

I am from Poland and we also didn't have original Nintendo. Our currency was too weak (and still is) and we used to import Russian version of the Nes. It was cheap, cartridges were affordable too. Thanks to that I could play Nintendo games

[@devforfun5618]

@@oskarkamil8208 in Brazil we had the Dynavision in the 90's it came with 64 games, including mario, castlevania, contra and bomberman, sadly no megaman, so i though megaman X was the original megaman and the snes was the only nintendo for a long time and didnt understand why there was a megaman 7 in the snes but not 1-6

[@renegadetoltec6180]

I think your Guardian Legend review brought me to your channel. One of my faves. I usually like a good cross genre. Thanks for the vid. Love ya Pam

[@MyAmazingUsername]

I would move two games to S tier: Maniac Mansion and Deja Vu. The reason is simple. They gave gamers on NES something they had never seen before. Deep stories and interactive adventures. At the time, the graphics were super immersive and the controls felt natural. It was also impressive how much those games fit into a cartridge considering how small the NES sprite memory is. Very cool games for their time. Sure they can seem boring now if you weren't there when they were brand new. :) I totally agree with the rest of your list.

[@MyAmazingUsername]

@dbnydnvn Yeah, agreed. They only really censored a few swear words and naughty references. The NES version in return gave us an amazing, improved soundtrack and better graphics. I think it was a win overall. :)

[@TheTogoRojo]

I actually really like the more off the cuff feel of some of this. Very relaxed but still enthusiastic.

[@phubans]

Yeah, The Guardian Legend is probably my favorite NES game of all time. Crystalis comes in a close second, then maybe Faxanadu? Those are all top-tier NES games for me. You've got great taste and I agree with this tier list.

[@andrewchristianson2086]

I like the video intro with the catchy theme music (thought it was Star Tropics at 1st but don't recall the game just know I've heard it) and the pretty make up. It's cute. So NES.. I still remember when I first played the games back around 1986 as a kid.. and when Nintendo Power 1st came out. That was ages ago! Great video btw. I like how you categorize things.. very orderly. Your videos are always a fun watch :)

[@MagnusZero]

Hey, I'm so glad youtube recommended me this and jogged all the fond memories I've had of digesting your content a few years back, when I first discovered you when you were smaller. Glad to see you're still making quality videos (and as a Mega Man guy, I'm very happy to see MM2 receive its due praise in the NES space), and you've definitely come a very long way.

[@BradyRay_333]

I love hearing you talk about Dino Riki! That review was hilarious :D

[@JohnnyFromVirginia]

You must be popping up in a lot of recommendation lists because I too am someone who just recently discovered your page and love your content. This was hands down one of the most interesting NES game ranking lists ever because so many of your mentions are games I’m either vaguely familiar with but didn’t really, if not, ever play, or I’ve literally never heard of (and I consider myself pretty much an NES junkie so I clearly need to step my gaming up lol. But I think my most favorite part about your content is your ability to articulate what your saying about something, especially from a critical standpoint. This is coming from someone who in real life tends to be very passive and non confrontational so critical talk is very hard for me whereas you flow off your real opinions on extremely well while still being insightful and genuine. I wish I could capture that personality trait in a bottle so I could sell it lol Thanks so much and cheers to you on another great video!

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Well thank you so much, and welcome to the channel!

[@StewNWT]

The only thing I like more than hearing you love a game that I love i.e. Suikoden 1, is when you absolutely HATE a game, whether I’ve played it or not. Your disses are so amusingly sincere - both in thoughtful analysis and blunt smack talk- that it makes me want you to verbally berate them even more

[@JuanRodriguez-im6ul]

Thanks, Pam. I played Journey to Silius a lot when I was a kid, in a consol called Family Game (which was the third world equivalent of NES). I loved that game. But at some point I lost the cartridge, I didn't remember it's name and I didn't understand a word of english when I play it so I didn't even know what it was about. I thought it would be lost in my memory. And today I found it, thanks to you. Kudos for your good work

[@computergames6417]

This was a great video, you shared a very interesting perspective on every game. I think your criticism of Dino Riki is insightful and one hundred percent accurate. It really stands out in the NES library as a game that has an intuitive premise high production value but no actual game design.

[@ravagingwolverine]

I hadn't seen this before. I can imagine your initial impressions of Duck Tales didn't go over well at the time. Sometimes, how we perceive a game depends on the hype for the game or even where we are mentally when first trying it. One experience in gaming that I love is revisiting those games and coming away with a positive second impression. It's a wonderful experience and once I've had many times. And most retro games are short which makes it easier to give second and third chances. I've lost track of all the games I ended up loving on a second or third attempt, but I recall not loving Gunstar Heroes at first, as well as stuff like Vendetta, Undercover Cops, and even Golden Axe Revenge of Death Adder, but coming back and maybe making some tweaks helped. Yoshi's Island and Super Mario 2 were others. And sometimes, no matter how many attempts I give it, there's just no changing my opinion. Chaos Engine and Castlevania 4 are among those. But giving games more than one chance is often a good thing, especially with popular games like Duck Tales as there's usually something there. In my case, I liked Duck Tales back when I played it in 1990. The pogo mechanic is a little weird, but I took to it pretty quickly. Good to hear that you came to enjoy Duck Tales. The ports of Prince of Persia are quite interesting. There's a cool video out there where one guy breezes through his takes on the versions. Prince of Persia is a game I didn't love until revisiting it a few years back. So the short version of the video is that the best versions to play are the original DOS version(there's an open-source version called SDLpop), the Macintosh version, and the Sega CD version(which has hilarious voiceovers). The others tend to have some bizarre and major flaws. The PC Engine version is good, except that the potions aren't color coded like they're supposed to be, which can lead to some unwanted effects. Drinking mystery potions is a bad way to go through life.

It's weird how Kid Klown in Night Mayor World was originally a Mickey Mouse game on the Famicom that just got reskinned. I always loved the Adventure Island games, but sometimes I wonder why. Because they're all SO hard that I don't think I've ever made it all the way through any of them without the Game Genie. And even with the Game Genie they're still tough as nails. Those skulls with the twirly things going around them were sent from the pits of HELL. Those could single-handedly be the reason these games are so hard. Or at least one of the reasons.

I hope you do another tier video these are very informative and very enjoyable to watch

[@0Fyrebrand0]

Interesting rankings. My two main thoughts are: 1) Wow, I really need to give this Felix the Cat game a try if you put it in S tier. I remember you praised it highly in your review but was still surprised to see it ranked in such an essential spot. I just remember seeing a Nintendo Power article about it and not thinking it was anything special, but clearly there must be something to love here. 2) Hard disagree on the placement of Panic Restaurant. I remember a long time ago I liked this game, and would have charitably described it as "a solid platformer." But several years later I played it again, and realized that what I really meant by "solid" was "it doesn't do anything bad, but it also doesn't do anything good." This game gives me no feelings whatsoever, it is like when my friends and I would go out to a cheap pub for dinner and we're all like "How's your food?" and everyone's just like "Fine." This really stuck out to me particularly, because you placed it on the same tier as Kirby's Adventure -- which, to me, is leagues above in quality. Also, you put Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers on a lower tier, saying that it doesn't do anything interesting. My jaw dropped, because Chip n' Dale absolutely has some interesting and unique mechanics, whereas Panic Restaurant just phones it in at every turn, with generic level design and lazy gameplay to boot. Anyway, just my two cents. Always love your videos despite where I may disagree. It was fun to see the rankings!

Not sure if you haven't played it or if you just didn't give it a review, but if you haven't played it you absolutely should. It's basically Zelda 1, but with massively upgraded graphics, combat, world size, and campaign, but it still keeps to a very minimal story and keeps things all about the gameplay.

Nice! I like a splash grading of games I never played. Especially when done by someone with such impeccable wealth & taste!
