Top 100 NES Games of All Time

[@sammylane21]

Good times, good memories and great games.

[@MikeJaun]

Absolutely 👌

[@marioreds7826]

Yes, for the most part I agree. Especially the top three. So many great games by the way.

[@blackbeardddd]

I agree with this list if its in no particular order

[@LordBeerusHakaiGod]

Ahhh the good old days of gaming. Simpler better times.

[@Cool750Boy]

If this is indeed a list by IGN, then yeah, they don’t really know how to rank a list of NES games then.

[@coolgamestuff.]

It is by IGN, but at least, they have all the the good titles inside.

[@i_am_well]

Double Dragon 3 ?????? With Bimmy?

[@ZeroThe14th]

Love seeing games like Kickle Cubicle and Snake Rattle N Roll that don't get the respect they deserve. Great list!

[@coolgamestuff.]

This is true. But all of us that grew up with these games, can enjoy and appreciate them and I hope younger people to see how amazing these games were, cause they’re classic! Thank you very much!

[@ZeroThe14th]

@@coolgamestuff. I’ve been trying with my kids, but they’re not too interested yet

[@LargeAmoeba]

Startropics was a given for anyone who could get used to the control. Great game. Happy to see Blaster Master and Shadowgate get some attention. By the way both have some pretty great remasters available for multiple platforms. Including the Switch if you want to keep the Nintendo theme going.

[@Shadow-bs1iu]

Batman was a great game but ridiculous difficult

[@ChrolliForever]

The guardian legend deserves to be wayyyyyyy higher than 87. At least top 25.

[@coolgamestuff.]

It is all about personal preferences. But i agree. It is a great game!

[@seanyoung9014]

Man this list is my whole childhood. I used to get a new game every week from either my mom or dad, so I've played pretty much everything listed here. Some of them like Dragon Warrior series, Blades of Steel and R.C. Pro Am, i used to play all the time and straight up forgot about. Top 30 were games I played literally all the time.

[@clemont-ib6pl]

Startropics is the most underrated game I have ever seen

[@Jgrimzy]

I’m so glad other people know and play ASTYANAX. One of my favorites ever

[@Wilky2526]

Does anyone remember Adventures of Bayou Billy? One of the hardest games out there, but the music was pure gold!

[@Marchand848]

I wouldn’t know! I couldn’t get past the first level! Haha

[@WeedPatch71]

Yep, that game was hard as ####!

[@AliciaMercado-ce6pj]

This games are cool and entertaining even though they're from back in the day

[@jarredkrum9894]

Yeah hard game but ive beat it lol definitely takes practice

[@alexjtrimble3]

Megaman 2 my favorite nes game. 💙

[@krisfrederick5001]

Some commentary would have been nice but it's alright. I think I spent more ammo on the dog in Duck Hunt than the ducks. As a songwriters it is always amazing to me how much they were able to come up with using so little. Shout out to Koji Kondo for coming up with the Super Mario Bros. and Zelda soundtracks. Legend ❤❤❤

[@krisfrederick5001]

Honorable mentions if I missed them: 8 Eyes, Marble Madness, The Black Bass and Rampage

[@bigorangenation41]

Great list. ‘Battletoads’ at 40 seems a little low. But it’s so hard to pick. Thanks for throwing ‘Ice Hockey’ on there. Loved that game as a kid. Would’ve liked to see ‘R.B.I. Baseball’ make the list too.

[@grendel20]

Great list. Fun to watch (or even just listen to the music).

[@coolgamestuff.]

Thank you!!!

[@SwiftSmashGamingZone]

I'm just glad Faxanadu made the list! 👍👍 I have 🎮 most of these games and honestly many of them are incredibly difficult - I would not have been able to complete most of these NES games without using save states (Super Mario Bros. included)! 🍄🎮😯

[@BirdmanPRRT]

Great compilation...keep putting out content!

[@coolgamestuff.]

Thank you!!!

[@BigBossCQCLegend]

Wish that PopEye was on the List

[@ryanmiddleton109]

Did I miss RBI Baseball? Tecmo Bowl? The actual Tetris? Not sure what Tetris version that was. Some... interesting choices. Mostly good.

[@coolgamestuff.]

You are right. RBI Baseball is missing. But Tecmo Super Bowl is 53 rated on the list. As for the Tetris(tengen), there is a very interesting story behind it, about Tengen/Nintendo feud. You can check it out! Thank you❤️

[@MikeJaun]

"Tetris' 💪😎

[@gnarlymcgnarlson6952]

If this were my list, I would have thrown in RBI baseball, Track and field 2, Romstar World Champ, Marble madness, Wizards and Warriors, Monopoly, California games, Arkanoid, off road, and side pocket.

[@RobotacularRoBob]

Ninja Gaiden 2 and Battletoads needs to be higher on the list

[@coolgamestuff.]

The list is according to IGN. But as personal favorites, i agree. They should be higher!

[@jedcauffield1858]

⁠@@coolgamestuff.IGN SUUUUCKKKS!! Find a Gamefaqs / Gamespot list & repost that here please 🙏!! Ign is like corporate idc coots that care little about what they’re weighing in.. more about covering news just bc its popular etc

[@AlexWong-ss5jd]

Does these establish home building prophesy.

[@jimmybenyoucef4416]

My 10 Must Have NES Games! [+ -- ••] 1. SMB 3 2. Zelda 2 3. Contra 4. Metroid 5. Mega Man 2 6. Double Dragon III 7. Duck Tales 8. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! 9. Ice Hockey 10. Pro Wrestling

[@HeywoodJablowme7]

I've played 49 of these 100 titles. 17 titles from 100-51 32 titles from 50-1 I'm glad a bunch of my personal favourites made it like guardian legend, astyanax and faxanadu but sadly guerrilla war didn't make it nor did smash tv....seriously!!!

[@Joshua-Mason]

8:15 is dragon warrior IV. Part 5 was on the super famicom.

[@EsmeAmelia]

Not a bad vid, but videos of the IGN Top 100 lists have been done to death. Why don't you make your own list?

[@coolgamestuff.]

Maybe the next video will be a top ten list of my favourites!!!

[@larrythebatmanfan]

Dr. Mario should be in the top 10 honestly!!

[@tufab3494]

Why isn't The Lost Vikings included? (sorry, just saw it's a NES vid, not SNES lol)

[@coolgamestuff.]

I have a top 100 nes video with lost vikings!😉

[@robertcatania1120]

I personally don't have the same order as this list, but appreciate the content and your ranking.

[@zzzzxxxxxz6017]

Tiger heli could’ve taken a spot away from something between 70-100

[@jarredkrum9894]

Tiger heli one my fav games

[@Kamawan0]

8:13 That's Dragon Warrior IV, just a small heads up

[@elchappo1320]

Dang NES had some great games

[@glenn3064]

XEXYZ for the Original Nintendo is the best video game ever.

[@BlastBoyX]

Demon Sword and Ring King look awesome, I had never seen them. Faxanadu and Star Tropics are games I always wanted to play but had never come across them in the wild. Batman The Video Game is slept on as far as great Batman games and great platformers. Solid top 3. I'm surprised no Donkey Kong on the list?

[@erwinbrasil]

1 - Shadow of the Ninja 2 - Castlevania 3 Draculas Curse 3- Contra 4 - Ninja Gaiden 2 5 Journey to Silius 6 - Super Contra 7 - S.C.A.T 8 - Jackal 9 - Ninja Turtles 2 Arcade 10- Castlevania 1

[@SlayerRunefrost]

I'm starting to think that for these lists, people will pick they're actual top like....25 at most and for the rest, they pick games they like and just arbitrarily place them on the list.

[@mikeh305]

Dunno why double dragon 2 and contra was so low they were both kick ass games

[@broncosbreaks]

The kickest of ass!

[@Djwunmoshen]

You good if you can just listen to them music and know the game…. That’s invested and awesome childhood and adulthood

[@_delriooo1396]

I love Lolo 3! It's sad the trilogy hasn't a remake or a Lolo 4

[@shinjiblack9460]

What is this based on? Sales? Personal preference?

[@I_SuperHiro_I]

Anyone remember the Contest game, Treasure Master.

[@PhoenixWwrong]

Do you know what game this was? It was a side scrolling platformer where we control a robot, but the pilot could get off and explore too?

[@coolgamestuff.]

I think the game you are looking for is Metal Mech: Man & Machine.

[@PhoenixWwrong]

@@coolgamestuff. Ooh, finally!!! You're correct! Was this only on NES? Because all this time, I thought my console was sega

[@jonathanwyatt1440]

Can't believe gremlins 2 the new batch not on the list the best game on the nes ever

[@tonyanderson8497]

Dark wing duck , Qbert , knight rider, did I not see any Pac-Man games ???? Appetite the list tho

[@wades9327]

Couple of surpise omissions in Rollergames and Adventures of Captain Skyhawk. Maybe also Battle of Olympus. Overall a pretty good list though. EDIT: No Solstice either. Actually probably not that great a list.

[@bheasy1]

I was about to comment Skyhawk-

[@alwaysbeeurself]

No Karnov, Town & Country Surf Designs, Castlevania 1, Baseball Stars, Tecmo Bowl?

[@spice_krispies]

Batman at #33 is criminal considering the games that are ranked right after it for a while....🙄

[@marcoscognamiglio1750]

Of course....SUPER MARIO BROS. 3 is the best NES game!

[@camf33]

I agree 'CoolGameStuff'.. it's hard to agree with the entire world on the particular order but this was on point LOL. I am surprised you didn't put down Techmo Bowl.

[@pailoso2339]

Faltó Holly Diver, Captain Tsubasa II..

[@greatestytcommentator]

What was that noise? Oh, it is just the sound of prices for these games going through the roof!

[@wellingtontrindade7757]

Mighty Final Fight?

[@peterparker346]

Top 100 games for NES I can’t agree NES ruined third party games the third party games we’re supposed to be the best but the console was just to weak to handle games such as Pac-Man teenage mutant ninja turtles the arcade game

[@WonderCreationStudios]

I can never tell if these top 100 lists are in fact least to greatest games, or if they're simply going random until they hit top 25 or what, but either way, the title placement needs to be reevaluated in this list.

[@normalguycap]

Fester's Quest looked like a swap of Blaster Master.

[@BrunoIsaacPérezSánchez]

Snake rattle n roll 9:05

[@coolgamestuff.]

I had a lot of fun with this game 😁

[@broncosbreaks]

Tecmo Super Bowl in the 50s?! GET OUTTA HERE!!!!

[@Ironstarfish]

I think TMNT arcade should have been higher

[@philgreco4196]

And donkey Kong!?!😎🍺👾

[@glenn3064]

Xexyz Rules!

[@aero1183]

#3 and #1 of course, but Super Mario Bros should be #2!

[@kyleolin3566]

Thunderbirds should be on this list.

[@jedcauffield1858]

Umm 🤨 umm 🤔 WHOM / What Company made such a List?! I feel putting TMNT @ #98 is such a crime. I agree perhaps 97 deserves respect too yet literally that game’s difficulty & nostalgia effect.. even its cover art far outclass it to other games. Even the music is better.. I had to STOP 🛑 the video just to say this bc I feel whomever made this didn’t so their homework 📚 or grew up in that Era to weigh in the SIGNIFICANCE of such a game. Dont believe me? Just check out how TMNT placed when it came out & how well it performed commercially. Better NES games came out too like Snake Rattle & Roll.. yet I feel no other game at the time gave you Shuriken x1, - x3 Spread 😍 version, Boomerangs 🪃 , Scroll 📜 Waves, and more other fun tools like Missiles 🚀 & Grappling Hooks 🪝!! Pizza 🍕 powerups for life 🏥.. Yeah whomever made this constructed it from others lists & hasn’t actually played the games.. callin it right now!!

[@brianhatcher2799]

The original Turtles game is awesome!! Made it to level 4 only. Even though I like part two and three better, the original is I feel waaayyyy underrated. I rented this game as a kid.

[@Cronus_Primus]

Gee and here I thought the top 100 SNES list was screwed up. Well this NES top 100 list is certainly worse.

[@rm1042]

How can Burger Time not make this list?

[@Ah-ed6ie]

Rush n attack is just green beret.

[@seanyoung9014]

It was originally called "Russian Attack" as I remember when it was on the Commodore 64 but I also remember it being called Green Beret.

[@mieldeayote2822]

FESTER'S QUEST?!?!?!?! come on nintendo, get serious

[@nash3527]

that's one of the best games on the nes

[@ary_aja]

5:04 Spartan

[@headbangermetal5929]

Good list but no Toki 🐒

[@lordavit5487]

No Solar Jetman, Battle of Olympus,, Captain Skyhawk, Might and Magic, Swords n' Serpents, Adventures in the magic Kingdom, Adventures of Dino Rikki, Nobunahas' Ambition 2, Bomberman, Captain America and the Avengers, G.I. Joe, Flying Warriors, Friday the 13th, Night on Elm Street, Legacy of the Wizard, The Magic of Scheherazade, World Cup Soccer/Super Spike Vball, Rambo, Shadowgate, Simpsons-Bart va the Space Mutants, Star Wars, Star Wars the Empire Strikes Back, WCW Wrestling, Werewolf The Last Warrior, Wrath of the Black Mantra. Lots of these could have made the list over some of those stupid puzzle games. This isn't even counting Japan only games, like what was the criteria for this list were you worried about mentioning franchises like WCW or Star Wars. if it were just unique games then the Punisher shoulda made the list, I'd play that over Duckhunt for sure.

[@EnergonCubed]

Shadowgate was there. The game I always look for which I think should be there but never is, is The Immortal.

[@Mitjitsu]

No Gimmick!? I guess you weren't aware of that game.

[@coolgamestuff.]

The list is according to IGN.

[@RobinEnnis-d7n]

Super Mario 2 is rated higher than Castlevania? Riiiight.

[@jamesniesuchouski9373]

River city ransom!?

[@arturoveas4316]

Little Samson should be top 10

[@coolgamestuff.]

The list is according IGN. But i thing it should be higher too!

[@JuegosCutui]

I feel like the list is lacking, like you didn't even play 20% of the games you've listed. I know it's an IGN list, but there are conceptual errors while making it. For starters, some of the games didn't even come out on NES. But the most preocupying is that videos like this are influential on people's opinions

[@ReplicaICN]

No Bucky O’Hare?!?!?! Go back to Cincinnati!!!!!!!!!!

This is a rip off of SundevilRip’s list on Giant Bomb

[@SiiviaJuancaros]

Juancaros🎉

[@carloslaroque]

Double Dragon II 83? Wtf

[@spice_krispies]

I know right? He had 3 higher, Battletoads at 40 and Batman at 33. Makes no sense....

[@Marchand848]

Not sure whose list this is. Several poor placing. Super Techno Bowl in the 50’s?!

[@ERICARCIERI-t1x]

This list is way way off good games are rank to low and bad games rank to high and this is the first list that I ever saw where tecmo Superbowl wasn't ranked in the top ten 53 really wait what smh 😞

[@jarredkrum9894]

Lota great games not on here

[@jblassio]

What are you basing this on? You got a lot of 💩in this list, so I’d like to know if you ranked these based on sentimental value or actual in game enjoyment. Mike Tyson’s Punch Out should be in the top 5. Double Dragon should be in the top 10. Final Fantasy sucks, should be nowhere on the top 20. Zelda II is not better than Battletoads, Crystalis, Operation Wolf, TMNT Arcade, Batman…etc.

[@phaganators]

Thank you for being like every other nes line up and showing the first part of every first stage. We all seen these over a decade ago and since. Put some quality in your gameplay and not just to finish your video quick👎👎

[@erwinbrasil]

The average games came first and second. As always, the author of the video sucks up to Nintendo. Didn't mention S.C.A.T, Shadow of the Ninja which are better than that Mario and Zelda shit.

[@terranceclark3479]

Disagree.

[@영광굴비-r3w]

미국놈이 만든거라 그런지 몰라도 진짜 공감 안가네

[@sourandbitter3062]

Many great Famicom games were never released in the west. For example someone suggested Holy Diver in the comments.

[@ffwr-109]

I miss those times. ❤️🥲❤️

[@travisjohnson622]

can old nes games be played on android?

[@FoxUnitNell]

Yeah. The Google Play store has emulators, just need roms.

[@sergeantsnugglez3228]

This list is decent, but it has some stupid picks. Micro Machines is way ahead of much better games. They don't have Conquest of The Crystal Palace on here, they put Double Dragon 3 ahead of 2, which makes no sense at all, and the first one is missing. No Ninja Turtles 3 Manhattan Project? This list is very flawed.
