[@Surprisemenow]

Mezase Master -HAHA! Battletoads...I learned I was better off by myself. Then in Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers, I learned to pick up my fellow gamer and carry them so it would make the level easier from their dumb mistakes.

[@CarlEusebius]

Mezase Master How are we supposed to work as a team when you keep killing me?

[@johnernest8109]

warmecanic I actually beat it with an emulator, but using save states so it doesn't really count. On the original NES I think the farthest I got was the level where you're on the unicycle with the Mac OSX colored pinwheel of death chasing you for sport.

[@goelifart]

John Ernest that's probably as far as any normal person got, i got there once, but i was still to euphoric from beating the final mouse in the race to the bomb to concentrate.

If it was not "you hit me on purpose" it was "your shit and you let us both down" and the worst part was that there was no reward for good teamwork, just punishment for poor teamwork.

Is it as hard as ghosts n goblins?

[@Izaya-472]

Yeah about the same but does not make you repeat the story twice.

[@drunclecookie216]

in both games you have infinite continues, but Ninja Gaiden when you continue you start at the beginning of the Act instead of the last stage you died on.... however there is a stage (5-3) where you can get an extra life then go back down the ladder you came from and come back up and get the life again... you can do this over and over as many times as you want for mutiple lives, it makes the game a bit easier for the last act

[@MallyPureSmooth]

[@MisterAutist]

In 2016 when I was 16, it took about a month to figure everything out. I even developed some of my own methods to get through hard parts. The game isn't really so hard now once you figure everything out and run forward most of time

[@carnorjax007]

I've beaten Ninja Gaiden 1 today at work on my PSP. Used like 50 maybe even 100 continues but man, I've never felt such satisfaction in a long time. Not a single modern game or even PS1 era game gave me this feeling. It's crazy.

[@TheFEARSlayer01]

Does not count it has to be on a Nintendo console

[@SeekerMissile]

Daniel Watson there is no difference between PSP Nintendo emulator and Nintendo gameplay wise plus it's more compact.

[@SeekerMissile]

Sal S well I didn't use save states because it's like cheating, but it has it's benefits. Back in the days when I actually had NES I didn't turn it off when I went to sleep so I can continue my game in the morning, save stats removes that problem. Also it's a lot more compact to play it on psp, I can't bring a TV and console to my work :D

The "Battletoads" episode is my all-time favorite AVGN episode. It's one episode that he can't possibly be acting angry! Still a great game, but still incredibly hard!

[@jsun7972]

I would argue that the Grim Reaper is actually harder than Dracula in Castlevania. Man the number of times we died either in that room before the Grim Reaper or on the Grim Reaper himself... that is until we learned about the fire bomb trick. That made the whole game easy. But before that, it was death after death after death after death after death...

[@TheZeroSbr]

I found that Death was indeed harder, but the cross was pretty much mandatory.

[@theguyfromwalgreens]

How the hell could I have forgotten about Castlevania! I never got the one on the original NES, but the rerelease they put on Gameboy advance. I wanted to throw that thing like a brick 80 million times until I finally got lucky and beat it. I haven't touched or even looked at that game since. It's been so long ago I can't remember at one particular point I would call "the most difficult". From what I can remember all of that game made me want to pull my hair out after Madusa.

[@mwelle1]

TooMany Gamez I could never get past the Grim Reaper. I would use the boomerang. I remember once, I thought I had defeated him and he went up in flames, but one of his scythes hit me at the last moment and I had to start over. So frustrating!

[@wii1245]

I kid you not. The grim reaper is the most frustrating boss in every Castlevania games. Luckily if you own the Wii U, you can use the save states feature. Just save the spot BEFORE meeting the grim reaper. That way, if you die, just load up the save state and try again.

[@TheZeroSbr]

Most games today have adjustable difficulty setting, they can either be laughable easy or hellishly difficult (for example try beating Far Cry Primal on the highest difficulty, all difficulty settings are maxxed and death is permanent, you fuck up once and the save is deleted). This is a lot better than just one option: hellishly difficult

[@stonecoggins107]

Gray-z I think it's just that James was super traumatized by it as a kid and then it sort of became a running joke that AVGN hates it so much so they ran with it. As for difficulty I can't testify for it myself but if Bootsy can't beat it it has to be pretty hard. I mean Bootsy has beaten Battletoads and Silver Surfer...

[@TrollMalefico1984]

+Gray-z Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde isn't even the most difficult, if you consider that Ghosts 'n Goblins requires extreme precision and skill, and that you have to finish it twice with the right combination of weapons (in the right order to advance better). Dr. J and Mr. H. is a matter of understanding how the game works (mechanisms) and to try to master it. It's less unfair than Ghosts 'n Goblins, which in the arcade version was even worse, making you restart from the beginning of the level (instead than in the middle) whenever you died and had to continue. The game that must go second in this list, after Ghosts n' Goblins, is Ninja Gaiden, probably one of the hardest games I've ever seen.

[@JackLiberty0]

TWO QUESTIONS. 1. You managed to beat 'Street Fighter 2010' and 'Ghosts n' Goblins' but consider those two games harder than 'Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse' when you couldn't beat it. That is a contradiction. I'm assuming you beat Castlevania III after the video and we just aren't aware of it. (yeah it's not a question). 2. Where's 'Dragon's Lair' on NES? You had a very hard time just getting past the first screen of the game. You didn't get very far in this game and gave up in aggressive anger. How did 'Dragon's Lair' not make this list? I think 'Dragon's Lair' is harder than 'Silver Surfer' because Dirk is so slow and has a weak weapon, Silver Surfer can move much faster and uses a more powerful and faster weapon at least.

Ninja Gaiden 3, the return of Foster (his boss battle is laughable, he can't do anything most of the time), a BS scene where Ryu tells Irene he must go alone to the dimensional fortress because of "some super human power" or something, a final battle with a guy that has 3 forms (super armor guy, guy sticked to the wall and a giant mech with a face made of glass that casually shows his weak point: a heart). I haven't played the NG3 for newer consoles, and will probably never do unless I find it for... 5 USD.

[@MrWendell6702]

Hilarious video! All that unintelligible stringing together of obscenities was my choice as well for many of these games...such fond memories

[@Heatwave24]

Still can't believe I finished battletoads

[@ethanedwards3357]

LIES.

[@jamerian]

ya man, never ever got passed the fucking jet ski part, ,fuck that game

[@abusus75]

jamerian ive never passed the 6th level.

[@SixString_J5]

Me too! On 2 player as well. My daycare had a NES and the only playable game they had was Battletoads. I probably logged over a thousand hours on it.

[@19HajimeSaitou91]

Weeb monster 😄

[@violetninja]

Kinda surprised Ikari Warriors didn't make the list. A B B A

[@retromemories8522]

That game still haunts me to this day.

[@leonjohnsonjr3331]

Abba when u get to the end boss they only let you abba about 2x lol

[@asparagusbear3323]

without ABBA, that game would be impossible

[@ilovelilwill22]

This Dude funny as hell! I was Lmao! Through the whole video...

[@MECHANICzGRIP]

lol same here. I remembered how many weird games I actually played back in the day haha.

[@KX5Kat]

It was funny as shit. I actually got frustrated watching (going back to my childhood, swearing and crying).

[@DethHasArrived]

I went through the punishment of Ghosts and Goblins as a kid. Both runs game is absolutely brutal.

[@gustavocoimbra2398]

So the worst NES game is also the hardest?

[@markdemort]

I beat Battletoads when I was 7...

[@enriquerafaelgomez3344]

MarkDeMort - based on your apparently age, when you were 7, battletoad wasn't even an idea.

[@saurav9922]

Enrique Rafael Gómez Got him.

[@Ansar-ne5er]

I beat Ivan Drago when I was 5

[@atlasadonis3752]

Kid Iccarus, Ghouls and Goblins. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jamesrice8923]

I really like your NES videos bro. Keep up the good work 👍

[@Blakblooded]

Hahahaha, Castlevania in all incarnations was the bane of my childhood.

[@slashingkatie7872]

I wonder if AVGN played FF1 for the NES.

[@hisokamorow3611]

i play it, its ok

[@hungshueinsam904]

+Katie He play it I think I remember I talk about FF before, but since It not bad game so no ep for it

[@slashingkatie7872]

+djancak well here's the thing with FF1, you gotta be willing to 1) Grind and 2) talk to people in towns to know where to go and what to do. Once you defeat the Earth Fiend, the Lich, the game gets easy. Or you can play the GBA port which gave it some more modern FF updates.

[@SevenSwordedRio]

+Turnabout In the NES version the level cap was 50, so there couldn't be a level 99 master. If you're talking about the gba version, grinding isn't really a requirement since the devs toned down the difficulty.

+Itachi Uchiha Sup itachi san

[@Optimum45]

Give Bionic Commando a run.

[@michael-dm2bv]

SchmidttyGames - grin entertainment made a version for the xbox360. the most underrated game in history. better than the original.

[@killboi207]

I could sit here ALL DAY listening to the nerd swear.

[@samuelrosenbalm]

Castlevania is not that hard TBH. It's hard, yes. But it's far from being among the hardest. Why? Because I beat it. And I suck. Once you figure out that Holy Water = easy mode, you've got the game nailed.

[@AbandonedVoid]

Hell yes!

[@kilvasify]

Castlevania 3 though...I gave up on that

[@oniilazo]

Believe me, for Castlevania to be in 7th place... that's near being a fucking joke, cuz that game deserves a 5 or 4. People did not create that game, demons did! Its really hard! (I honestly don't know how you guys find it easy, its a nerve-racking game.)

[@samuelrosenbalm]

richard more It's easy. Holy Water. Get to know the Holy Water, especially for the bosses. Keep a triple shot Holy Water and take it one section at a time.

[@ВладимирГалицкий-х8ц]

@@kilvasify play japanese version, it is easer. And there are not oroblems with stairs. If you stand on stair and you are hit, than you will not be thrown to down. Just believe me, it is easer.

[@nicpedroza9106]

0:26-0:50 Close your eyes and just listen to the audio only.

[@averygamerdude7911]

10. Yeah, that game is hard and long. ._. Really wish I worded that differently... 9. Would be a great game if it had infinite continues. 8. Love that game. But I agree. 7. Same as 8. 6. Surprised it's not higher on the list. But you practically have infinite lives, so yeah. 5. Yep. Pretty tough. 4. Great game, but hard. 3. Saw this one coming. 2. Pretty difficult, but it wasn't anywhere NEAR as hard as I thought it was when I played it. 1. Hard, but I'd disagree.

[@silenceenigma587]

In the NTSC version of Battletoads on the NES, there is a terrible bug in Clinger Winger when playing the 2 player mode. The 2nd player for some reason couldn't even move as if the controller isn't even plugged into the console. So the game is indeed virtually unplayable in the 2 player mode. Unless you play the PAL version of the game. I feel bad for any kids that played the 2 player mode of the game back in the 80's in anticipation of beating the game, and having that glitch happen.

[@TriplePProject]

Not as many likes as you hoped for, huh? :(

[@silenceenigma587]

TriplePProject My comment or Avery's comment?

[@RiotDuel_Wisdom_and_Eternity]

I had a lot of patience exercising ideal jumps and blows on my enemies, so even these hard games never got me down. Sure, I died many times, but I finished them because I never gave up. That's the key.
