Ranking the Best and Worst NES Games from the BEST Companies - Marathon

[@oldenvye6432]

I've always really liked the black box art, simple yet charming.

[@someoneout-there2165]

Thanks for still talking about the classics. I loved Balloon Fight and used to play with my mom and she'd say she liked it but it was no Bubble Bobble. Haha, much simpler times. Anyway, sometimes I'll fall asleep to your videos, which is definitely meant as a compliment. Good job. 👍

[@Roger-fs5yo]

Cool, now we can binge watch these ranking videos straight through🤟

[@Rountree1985]

I made a playlist of all of them and put it on before I go to sleep

[@joewire7368]

Same here😂

[@drstrangedoom9280]

I'm binging this RIGHT NOW WHILE IN MY FOOD COMA!!!!

[@freddyvelazquez7901]

I love the NES, not going to lie I made a play list of all your NES Rankings and binge them every now and then

[@Rountree1985]

I do the same thing lol.

[@ThomasNovosel]

It's my comfort video list right now, have rewatched a couple too cuz it's just fun to see someone excited about games and hearing about new ones a bunch

[@janX9]

A playlist of *ALL* his rankings seems kinda silly simply because I think he's ranked *ALL* the North American NES games LOL

[@RapideWombaticus]

Hello John. I really like your enthusiasm, positive attitude and channel. Keep up the great work and G'day from Australia 🦘

[@matthewlane518]

Im not into sports games, but i loved play action football on my gameboy😁

[@lennonrocks100]

Love your videos over the years. They bring back good memories of good times in the late 80s and 90s. Thanks for making these

[@downscale]

Glad that you put this compilation together! Thanks!

[@Palasdin]

Little Nemo Adventures in Slumberland still holds up as a great movie. Megaman 4 gave us Dustman. ( Favorite robot master ) automatic S tier lol

[@lwhite647]

Yes! Would love to see you group open cart surgeries in a video like this

[@inmundo6927]

28:52 If you talking about that Iceman's stage bit thats nearly impossible, where you have to jump onto this enemy/platforms... as a kid I never knew how much easier life was with the weapon you talking about, but the game is definitely doable without it. Just way harder, obviously Same thing happened to me playing Zelda. Never knew about the existence of a red cape. No wonder the last dungeon was so hard

[@puzzlednugget1024]

Thanks for this , it has been a blast to see stuff from my childhood!

[@Djwunmoshen]

Ring King is the Greatest 2 player boxing game on the NES. I give it a high A

[@jamesburchill7522]

God Bless you, man. Basing most of the game's score on whether or not you are any good at them 😂

[@mjdf122]

John Riggs Back In Action Great List And Topic Of Discussion

[@shenloken2]

this is totally gonna be a fun watch i definitely need something like this on while i’m working or when under stress

[@janX9]

I feel the same. Kinda like a safe place to unwind at the end of a terrible day. Same as AVGN and a few other KZbinrs.

[@TrippyCommentaries]

New sub here. Awesome video, I really enjoyed it!

[@sylvain316]

Love the exercice of ranking all videogames. Of course, there's plenty of Games that I would ranked diffrently but I enjoyed the show. I'm New to tour channel. Keep up the good work!! 😊

[@MarkPlotkin-df8cn]

I like rc pro am and duck hunt has a babysitter job when I was 16 and they had a Nintendo and I played a lot after the kid went to sleep it was another time

[@kenterminateddq5311]

I've been waiting for Riggs to make a "Ranking" compliation in a long time. Thank you, JohnRiggs.

[@dingo535]

Been too long since I’ve watched your videos. Glad to be back, and a great Video!

[@suzybanyon9833]

Excellent video!! Also thank you for trying to clear up the whole popeye was donkey kong thing...... I have rewatched that part three times now and I’m still thinking WTF 😂❤

[@stephencampbell642]

Good to have you back joey Stephen from north of Ireland was impressed with your stand in, sorry guy forgot your name good job

[@ReZRunnerExperience]

"The Jolly Joker", now that's a name I haven't heard in ages. That ranks up there with "The Country Store" and "The Clover Leaf".

[@jontteritontteri4575]

Thank you for making these!

[@cjeelde]

6:26 "we have Golf" 6:30 "D tier" 😂😂😂😂

[@volvoguy804]

I like listening to stories about how gamers got games when they were kids (particularly NES games).

[@coufranciscojoseolivaperal4123]

I love this marathon videos, large videos entertain more haha

[@MrGlandeux]

Never played goonies 2 before the emulator era, but played a lot of Goonies original on my pirate 52in1. I remember finding the music awesome and feel less synth than many music of the era on nintendo

[@MarkPlotkin-df8cn]

Look at those graphics so realistic and rad❤😊

[@toddburgess5056]

Had and remember Donkey Kong Jr Cereal. Yup, had the little yellow bananas and red berrys and some other main ingredient i cant recall at this time lol, also remember Nintendo cereal.

[@MarkPlotkin-df8cn]

Bo knows all sports❤😊I miss the 90s❤😊

[@RetroSho]

0:00 Yooooo, your Black Box tierlist is almost exactly the same as mine. Balloon Fight should be S. Duck Hunt should be B. Urban Champion is more like C tier. Legit list either way!

[@MarkPlotkin-df8cn]

When john does rating system on the video games makes me think were at video game school ha ha❤😂

[@darkairlord]

Funny you should mention Mario being hard as an adult so weird. I was playing it the other day, and man-o-day my reflexes must have gone downhill since I was a kid.

[@markplotkin1166]

U should do a Sega Genesis marathon ❤thx love ur channel

[@robw5741]

I cant believe i watched this whole video, while having already watched all of the videos this video pulled from.

[@mikeanderson623]

Great idea for a compilation!

[@markplotkin1166]

Me and my friend Larry Deutch used to play breakout and splinker and contra and Mario 2 I call these games Larry's list cause. We use to play this at his house hi shout out to Larry my good friend ❤

[@BURRITO44]

Awesome video Thank you

[@markplotkin1166]

The lady u refer to in total recall game her name is marlena

[@MarkPlotkin-df8cn]

Chip and Dale rescue rangers 2 is missing other characters like gadget the girl or Monterey jack❤😊

[@oasisbeyond]

Super Mario Bros made the nes the nes. Its a S 100%

[@mutoneon]

The only thing keeping it from S tier is that SMB3 also exists.

[@E3N_297]

I agree is 100% S tier.

[@jakep8484]

​@mutoneon even so if it's an s, it's an s. Putting it lower would make all the other s games above it. If you could only have 50 games on the nes most people would still have all 3 super Mario games.

[@70smebbin]

s tier easy

[@broken1394]

It's my all time favourite MARIO game- the innovation was unbelievable for the time, the warps etc. I can still play it now and have a lot of fun. I fully respect John's opinion, SMB is the quintessential nes game imo. S all day, everyday and forever!

[@joeydemitro8976]

AWESOME 😎👍💯 TOO MY FRIEND AND MY BIRTHDAY IS APRIL 29

[@Bucky749]

The only reason I think for donkey Kong jr math. Is wasn’t the donkey Kong jr Saturday morning cartoon out at that time ? I’ve seen clips of it he even had a catch phrase . “ money muscle !”

[@alannaramone3821]

We owed gogalo 14 as well love it! Kabuki quantum fighter to.

[@markplotkin1166]

The game that was featured in kickboxer the movie

[@MrCalverino]

yesirrrr about time 😄

[@MarkPlotkin-df8cn]

It was called impossible mission on the c64

[@FirstCityRecords]

Welp. Another Saturday night John Riggs marathon while the kids watch cartoons.

[@xXCigarXx]

Mission impossible came out way later then the game I think....Yeah,the movie came out in 96...it was actually based off of the 1966 tv series.....I personally have never seen it. Man,you mentioned the Seaside arcade.....that brings back memories.....I used to go out to seaside as a kid and get given 5 dollars to play games...god I loved that arcade it was like the most exciting thing for me all year.

[@williamhamilton8438]

20:56 that game was like almost $50 all the way back then too!

[@rhwoodwork119]

think your old? I completed jet set willy on zx spectrum. Well, nearly... great video took me back a few years.

[@kingmichaelcoy]

The book sale in elementary school books were🔥

[@toddburgess5056]

I owned Bionicle Commando and thought it was unnecessarily difficult. I wanted to like it, but would hit a wall in that game. Watching walkthroughs today on KZbin, im like WTF?!?" 10 year old ME was NOT going to figure THAT out !

[@daviebaggins]

I just fired up my nes and played it. Im just as bad at it as i was at 10, 30 years later.

[@JohnnyTronny19841]

Hahahahaa California Games roller skating - great capture hahahahaaaaaaa that was my experience ever damn time on that stage

[@alannaramone3821]

We also owed Destination earth star and star voyager! Could never figure them out either.

[@MarkPlotkin-df8cn]

Kidd Nikki boss must have a allergic reaction to kid Nikki ha ha ❤😂

[@markplotkin1166]

Snoopy silly sports heres my description of the game wah wah wah wah wah wah wah! Their u go

[@MonoGrinded]

Would you do another wrestling game tier list?

[@michaeladams9807]

3 hours 😮 👍👍

[@kingmichaelcoy]

I’ve watched this 16 times in two years

[@weison383]

10-yard fight was actually a coin-op arcade game

[@markplotkin1166]

Cave woman got moves❤😊

[@bamatrucker31]

The word you were looking for was physics of the ball.

[@MarkPlotkin-df8cn]

Look at the graphics there so cool 😂

[@louisdellalucca8969]

Was that Superman? It looked more like Sourman from the Professor Slump Manga that Toriyama made before Dragonball.

[@williambaker2547]

And fyi link is not in the description lol

[@a96ozsteak]

I can't believe Bart vs. the World got a D and almost an F, I thought it was way different from Space Mutants.

[@eshep71]

I think It's obvious that they are going to attempt something big early in the off-season. If they intend to compete, the earlier they start, the better. IMO, they played last OS perfectly. They missed Ohtani and didn't panic sign everyone like SF did. Instead they seem to have taken their foot off the pedal and hoped for the best in order to stay well positioned to run at another superstar - setting us up for perhaps another decade. They perfectly recycled everything from last off-season into useful pieces that put us into a decent position to acquire impact piece(s) through trade. I'm not sure how successful they will be with a big splash (trade and/or FA) , that's why I also think by mid January, you may see a switch in the plan to more defined rebuild if they miss their preferred targets early. After a decade if listening to these guys, I think that could be the message behind the vague comments about competing...

[@markplotkin1166]

Should do Sega Disney games that would be great

[@untexan]

Pro Wrestling also gave us the immortal phrase, “A Winner Is You”

[@pandalilpig]

righteous sauce nuggets

[@sisyphus8870]

Nice

[@briansouth9325]

Wow! You are really missing out on motorcycles!

[@jeremyramsey1746]

I will stand on this hill! Golf is one of the best golf games ever!

[@rapideye85]

Mega Man 3 on Game Boy had Skull Man, Dive Man and Dust Man from Mega Man 4 on NES but had Snake Man, Shadow Man and Gemini Man from Mega Man 3 NES...The Game Boy Mega Man 3 was S tier

[@MarkPlotkin-df8cn]

Robocop game I'll buy that for a dollar nah! ❤😂

[@LivingwithPerks]

I don't own a game store. Can I still play it at one? 😎

[@RetroRizer]

Tennis is a B tier. i actually like it

[@jasonk333]

I came to the comments to see if anyone else was thinking this.

[@O.G.Rex.]

This is great..but does this mean ALLL NES games have been covered already? No more nes reviews?? 😢

[@k-slapz1339]

C for Skate or Die ;p i mean C for "Soccer" lol

[@treedeblue]

Wonder if his still in the UK drinking Pepsi

[@j.walker6845]

It's a great list and thanks for uploading, but Contra a "B"?? C'MON!!

[@flashback7273]

I like how you are giving ratings based on how they felt and seemed at THAT time. But if you say popeye is A tier today... I'm not on board. Lol were the same age btw

[@ZakkHung]

Kings of the Beach is so much better than Volleyball. 💜

[@oxymontana4307]

Thank you Johnny boy!!

[@colintimp1372]

Jordan vs. Bird was a ripoff of an Atari game called One on One: Dr. J vs. Bird. The best part of that game was if you dunked a certain way it would shatter the backboard; and the janitor would come out with a broom and curse at you (in noises) as he swept the mess.

[@alannaramone3821]

riggs we should collaborate on a beer co.!!!

[@demonprincess5634]

feeling really sad my vcr die :(

[@alannaramone3821]

There's a 2nd gogalo 13 game? Wtf?

[@deedd4401]

never played the Bionic Commando on nes - but loved the remake on ps3.

[@identitywithheld4327]

Once you ranked Contra and Double Dribble so low, I lost interest. That hurt my soul. LOL

[@markplotkin1166]

Id buy that 4 a dollar ❤😂

[@wasimpatel2618]

[@tylerpemberton3134]

[@alannaramone3821]

Can you ride a pedal bike?
