Top 5 NES Sequels

[@r.babylon2885]

THAT VOICE IS ADORABLE!!!

[@johndripper]

thanks

[@thecollector7516]

Thank you for putting super mario 2 on the list

[@WyreWizard]

Miss Rinry, I played the original Megaman game back in 1988 when I was 17. It was an interesting and okay game. The most annoying thing was that damn Yellow Devil. Fortunately, I figured out a little trick with the electricity weapon. When you first fire it and it touches the enemy, you hit select over and over until that enemy is destroyed..

[@lieutenantpepper3421]

For me, it's CWU-01P.

[@KazeKoichi]

Am I the only one that defeated yellow devil without even hearing about pause trick?

[@platinumfrost]

so many memories were brought up just now, being 25 yrs old. Thank you for your time to make this video!

[@Viewer-ld5rc]

I miss you Rinry come back!!

[@purplebootsgames]

At first when you said cheetahmen 2 I almost had an aneurism

[@Sonic2332]

@turron83 Yea, I agree. Castlevania 2 is one of my favorite titles on the nes and was what truly got me into the series. Although, it was a rather strange and unexpected sequel to it's predecessor (much like Zelda II). The game is also very "rough around the edges", having several noticeable flaws. Basically what I'm getting at, is that I understand why some people hate the game, but I can also understand why others love the game (like myself). Its a mixed bag indeed! ^_^

[@buttersballsisback]

what a beautiful voice i just had to listen to this twice...not just the voice the laugh she makes at the end is very soothing

[@realmantisknight]

Great video. :) I remember buying Mega Man and plugging it in and going "what is this game?!" Love the little humorous bits you threw in there (mega man 2 cursing to get that extra life only to not have a way out. hah!) I must be the only one who got used to the DD2 controls because of playing Renegade in the arcades so much. Yet, it was the addition of the hyper knee and uppercut that added to the fun. Subbed.

[@ProtoMario]

Awesome reviews but i must say i think megaman three did it justice as well as megaman 9 and 10. But i think three was really great on the lines of 2. Then id like to say pokemon gold and silver are a direct squeal to red and blue as you play through a new region but then return to the old game 2 years later. I think Gold and silver really really expanded immensely on the Pokemon franchise making it what it is today. When chrystal was released it was the first time your Pokemon actually moved!

[@thebossdudelol6651]

Wow old comment

[@Wyrdwad]

Poor Castlevania II gets no respect. :( I really liked that game, and to this day consider it one of the best NES titles. Never understood all the hate it gets. Yeah, it's cryptic and needs to be played with a guide if you're not familiar with its secrets... but the same can be said for a LOT of games from that era! Still, great list, and your videos are always really entertaining, Rinry. Plus, you have one of those voices that just makes me happy whenever I hear it. ;)

[@stephenbianchi7141]

Lol your awesome. I freaked out when you dropped that Cheetahnen joke.

[@natural690]

Stephen Bianchi Me too

[@stovexlvii3579]

me three

[@j0nshaw]

Great vid as always Rinry! Enjoyed the bloopers too JOT! I think they should be a regular feature!

[@kimmolaine8069]

Agreed with most of the list. Except Ninja Gaiden I is my favourite from the NES ones in that series-- A true classic. It was excruciatingly hard but the game and the story was so damn good that you just had to beat it. As a kid I also liked SMB2 more because it had more varied content. Got a bit of a soft spot for Megaman 1 as it was my first Megaman played; but yeah-- 2 is better.

[@mehasit]

your reviews are great and your voice sounds soo nice in them! def the most amusing game reviewer on youtube, gratz :)

[@freidenfelt81]

OMG I LOVE YOU RINRY!!! its so rare I get new vids from you in my sub box. I love it when you talk to me bout childhood memories. :) *hugs*

[@CasaDeCucaracha]

So glad you included SUPER MARIO 2! That game is criminally underrated. Always thought being able to pick up a bad guy and throw him at another one was badass. And not ashamed to say it but liked playing with the Princess most. Your videos make we want to buy an old NES again and find these lol

[@spida1a]

Great vid, as always RinRy! Your list brings back a lot of memories! I completely agree with them. I was such a junkie of the Turtles arcade game that when they translated it for the NES as the sequel (plus added a couple of stages) I was extremely psyched!!!! :) Sigh.......those were the days! :)

[@Mappyman]

I was equally surprised and relieved at the Top 5 decisions you came up with! Each one I'm like OH YEAH. totally agree 100%!

[@TwilightsView]

Haha nice one at the end Jot. Great video guys. You should make a video on the best video game endings for all the old games. most of the old games barely had a satisfying end and usually just a congratulations screen.

[@richycline]

Fantasic. Best video you have done in a bit. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks Rinry and Jot! :)

[@GreyWolfyutuub]

Totally epic! So glad that you mentioned Ninja Gaiden 2 and Double Dragon 2 ^_^ Those are my two favorite NES games of all time.

[@AcidBong]

omg you just went through most of my fav games. I still play most of these regularly. Now my kids do too. Its funny when their friends want to play nes instead of xbox 360.

[@laserfloyd]

Great list. I agree wholeheartedly about SMB2. I don't care at all that it wasn't the true sequel. It was fun and frankly I liked it so much more than the original. Also, TMNT, so many great memories of that one. Yeah, spot on with the list. :)

[@surfodelic]

megaman 2 when you mentioned it felt like you gave a kiss directly to my heart.. best video game ever !

[@SuperKokuJin916]

This was a great vid! I thoroughly enjoyed it! TMNT II was awesome. It wasn't until much later that I realized that Raphael (my fave turtle) was missing his unique rolling kick special. The game designers did this to compensate for the short reach of his sais. The NES version was slightly rushed and omitted it. Speaking of one hit killer moves, the flying knee in double dragon II was godlike!

[@rhysalexander182]

Miss you Rinry!

[@doomking32]

@NoName1325 it says in the video,"while they are on this list, we dont think that it is completely superior to its predacessor" or something to that effect.

[@ZtheRavemaster]

Wow you do great work! I was a little scared when zelda didn't make it but thought about it and i've been convinced ^.^ looking forward to the next vid!

[@ThunderFist1978]

You had me going with Cheetahmen 2! I still would like to get a copy someday, but until then, I'll continue to have lots of fun with all 5 of the games on this list. And once I do get Cheetahmen 2, something tells me I'll still have more fun with the 5 games listed here.

[@rederci939]

Ah, I remember spending all of my tokens on TMNT Arcade at Chuck E Cheese when I was a kid. Good times...

[@jacobleb420]

I am glad that you mentioned Mega Man 2, because it's my favorite one in the series, and probably my favorite NES game. Mega Man 2 also has the best music on the NES in my opinion. I'm still undecided between this and Super Mario 3 foe which is my #1 NES game. I also had no idea Mega Man 1 was rare, my local video store had it, and I used to rent it and beat it over a weekend. When you said Cheetahmen 2 for first place I was like WTF! LOL

[@surlyedi]

TMNT2 was AMAZING! My sister and I could never beat it though (probably still can't now, being all spoiled with graphics and modern day hitboxes). Thanks for taking me on a trip down memory lane! Oh, and Rinry sounds adorable

[@mavf]

Once more a great video. The only problem is that we want more videos. Congratulations.

[@nastassia19]

Fully agree on TMNT 2. I played this game with my brother and we celebrated like crazy everytime we downed Shredder. You had to rely on your co-player, battling alone was pretty hard. (even though you could give one of your lives to player 2)

[@AlteredPiano]

I have TMNT 2 in the mail right now, can't wait to add it to my collection! Gonna be a fun game.

[@HannahJakeMom]

5:00 - 5:06 What about the music in Kid Icarus?

[@dragonwithafez]

Super Mario Brothers 2, called SMB 2: The Lost Levels in America, is awesome.

[@GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

I just find it strange that a lot of the games that were actually good games when they were released just completely fell out of favor with time. TMNT 1 and Double Dragon 3 are two of those games. Back then, there were very different standards for what was considered a good game, and challenge was actually hugely important. In short: If you could master a game in a day's sitting and beat it every time, then the game wasn't good. Both of those above games were very challenging so that you couldn't beat all of their levels the first time. Double Dragon 3 was the best example of an extremely challenging game. The game had an unforgiving difficulty, but I eventually got so good at it that I could beat it without a second player and not lose a single character doing it. Back then, while we liked all of the things like tight controls, level design, and everything being comparable to its source material, we weren't very picky about these things back then. A game could have bad controls, but you still played it for the reason that it was a challenge. That's why a lot of the games were designed as they were to add difficulty that was seemingly unnecessary, because the companies knew that what we wanted was an experience that would last because every triumph turned a new page.

[@Fluoride_Jones]

+GWS Well said! I don't know why this comment didn't get any love three years ago when you posted it.

[@DjStiv3]

i love her voice when narrating plus shes cute thanks for the awesome vids

[@androidhacking1018]

Im not trying to sound weird but you have a really beautiful voice it makes these videos really amazing definitely subbed

[@thanks773]

She sadly quit youtube.

[@SuperPowerBrosTV]

I love these videos. Thanks R&J!

[@Therm6000]

It depends on many factors. Nostalgia value, how many times you've beaten it already (boredom), etc. You think it sohuld get a free pass because it defined OTHER games, but the truth is that OTHER games are not a part of that game. Does a new game based on SMB being released magically add an element to SMB itself? Perhaps a World 9? No. SMB2 was a sequel, so it could be defended that it's an innovation, a different style of gameplay, which might appeal to different people.

[@FrostdPoptart]

@iamjames2 This list is for the NES. I'm sure a list of Gameboy games could be made too, though.

[@RiC_David]

I don't think it should get a free pass for defining other games, my point there was that its style and mechanics were so enduring and of such quality that it's still being done today. Even on its own, I still marvel at the excellence of the game/engine while SMB2 feels lacklustre - side by side on their own I'm just amazed anybody would prefer the sequel. Nobody has to defend anything, this isn't a fight or argument, I'm just interested to know what drove her choice.

[@GreenLikeGrass]

@iamjames2 so impressed that i almost forgot this was an nes countdown

[@MrRazberri]

"Cheetahmen 2. Now, this game is a rare find, and if you want a piece of this awesome sequel: it's going to cost you! Copies of Cheetahmen 2 can go for hundreds of dollars on eBay...if a game is worth this much...it must be the best sequel ever!!! Naw, this game sucks, and was never released for a reason!" ^ That's a fantastic line. Who else laughed uncontrollably?

[@MrRazberri]

5:30

[@GrnArrow092]

A note on Mega Man 2. I have seen this game adapted into a mobile version and it's available at the iTunes store for 99c.

[@rinrygamegame]

@kad3t Ummm.. a little of both :) They're all awesome, but some were just a tad bit more awesome!

[@hambrick]

This is the best review i have seen about nes games you rock ;)

[@jennabunnykins]

DDII & SMB2! Def my fave games as a kid!! Awesome list :)

[@TheGAMEBOY78]

Rinry keep doin ur thing girl...always love ur reviews!

[@rocko7x]

your voice is very appealing. I'm happy I found your videos

[@brtshstel]

@RazielCuts I don't know about TMNT2, but Hyperstone Heist on the Genesis and I think TMNT3 in SNES let you do it. Hyperstone Heist kicks ass.

[@mandingobingo]

hell yea, TMNT2! i remember playing that as a kid with my brother. i still have it on emulator in fact

[@leoviper]

I love you Rinry, amazing reviews!

[@xor2086]

Excelent video! I suggest you now to make a review of Sequels that NEVER came off! .Like Axelay 2 (SNES), Starfox 2 (SNES), Leisure Suit Larry 8 (PC), ...

[@adrian-gt8xv]

Best of the best is fusion between Battletoads & Double Dragon. Maybe it doesn't have 2 in the title but it really kicks ass!!

[@MagusSage]

Hiiiiii the way you review games reminds me a lot to kwing, keep up the good work greetings from Mexico =) (y) (sorry for the bad english :P)

[@Red05x]

Hi: Ninja Gaiden for Xbox was an AMAZING Game... One of the BEST games I ever played. Unfortunately, it's own creator broke the game making the "Black" edition and later the Sigma Edition. Now I have Ninja Gaiden Sigma for PS3 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus for PS Vita but none of them it's like the first one for Xbox. I played Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden II - The Dark Sword of Chaos on NES and those were good games too. It's a shame that the SNES version were crappy. Red 5.

[@garou119]

Don't you dare badmouth Simon's Quest! :P Great vid. Rin! loved the CHM joke.

[@NeoZero85]

YES!!! Ninja Gaiden 2 made the list, it was my all-time favorite Nintendo game. Sweet. I probably beaten more than 10 times too. So fast paced.

[@beauxbatonsboy]

i thought u were serious about cheetaman 2! i was worrying for your sanity! lol. but great job, as always :3

[@clearlypellucid]

@Chad9976 Harder doesn't mean better, and lots of games ended up as something different than they originally were or were originally planned to be. WarCraft was supposed to be a Warhammer game, for example, but GamesWorkshop pulled the plug (great move there, haha).

[@Red05x]

Hi: rinrygamegame, I really like your videos. I don't know why I just know your channel. I agree with ALL the Games. I have a question: How do you Record your videos, specially for Ninja Gaiden II - The Dark Sword of Chaos? Do you use an Emulator? Which one? I mean, PLEASE, answer Me. Red 5.

[@My1stYouTube]

rinrygamegame I once upon a time oned every NES Mega Man video gem because I was a diehard fan of it and kind still am.

[@MisterDovahkiin]

This brings back found memories! :D

[@weegle.]

I went CRAZY when you said Cheetahmen2!!!!!

[@chriscancer13]

I remember being so happy to find the orginal mega man at a swap meet when I was a kid, I wish I still had it.

[@Code1D10T]

Damn, if she didn't capture my childhood here! Great list!

[@fifthgearturtle]

Thanks JOT for the blooping end. Funny.

[@drwhotvwam]

great review as usual. look forward to more

[@agarci21]

I love TMNT, wow that brought back some memories now I want to play it! lol

[@BatriaYourDad]

Awesome top, totally agree with you

[@unknownguy3400]

I think what you mean is that before making Doki Doki Panic they made a protoytpe Mario game that scrolled up and involved throwing blocks around. technical limitations stopped this game from being developed further but the fundamentals of this game were carried over to DDP. Sorry about my other reply, but I don't really consider fundamentals of a prototype is really a game in itself. There you go :3

[@D3stinySm4sher]

THANK YOU for choosing TMNT2. It was the first one that came to mind. Liked this one. Mega Man 2 and TMNT2 are definitely my top 2, and SMB2 would probably be my #3. That game doesn't get the cred it deserves. Just above Yoshi's Island, TMNT2 is my most-wanted VC game. The first one showed up, so it can happen, right?

[@XDarkStrikerX]

@Wyrdwad i agree man, Castlevania 2 was awesome, took me years to beat it. This one and Zelda 2 were great games.

[@BoltMitch]

YEA STARTROPICS!! My most favorite game ever!! And TMNT II is pretty friggin' awesome. I once played the actual arcade version at a ferry port to PEI. Also, I totally saw and PLAYED a MegaMan 1 cart right here in Nova Scotia.... but it was decades ago. D:

[@hardcorerocc]

I love that you put bloopers it was funny. But i Am suprised you didnt put Legend of Zelda 2 but i can understand why.

[@sphinx200]

hsuahushush her voice is soo cute that make the bloopers even more cool xD

[@hristaki99]

80 people disliked the video when they saw Cheetahmen 2 and left the page without even knowing that it's not actually in the list.

[@virginsteele66]

Amazing! some of this have wallpapers on classicgamingwallpapers

[@puccaperson]

I like how you were easy on Super mario bros 2 & TMNT 2 unlike the Irate gamer. :)

[@RazielCuts]

I can't remember, is TMNT2 the one where you could throw guys into the screen? Cas that was awesome.

[@Chowdit1]

@Fenix Lolnope Where did you get that idea? I never said that Action 52 was a sequel or a prequel. O_o

[@BeatlesRoxx13579]

Who did the pixel work on your NES? I love it!

[@retrogamer41_sepiamta]

@rinrygamegame FYI, FF X-2 is the first ever "sequel" of the FF series. Which i kinda suprise since FF has been changing storylines throughout the series.

[@larrygarrido9000]

first i got to say that rinry nice review and whem i saw cheetahmen 2 in the list i was like no. but yeah.... but if you heard of the adventures of Duane and Brando, they made a cheetahmen 2 song. Really cool.

[@MarkAndersonAudio]

good work as always guys.

[@JasonWild1992]

I'm so glad that TMNT 2 was number one. It was my favorite NES game when I was growing up.

[@Sonic2332]

@Thomsongamer Yea, she even played the Zelda II theme at the beginning of the video! O_o Oh well. lol

[@osbely]

Awesome outtakes

[@WyreWizard]

Its too bad that unlike the arcade version, TMNT Arcade only aowed 3 players instead of 4.

[@GUBMENTxCHEESE]

@CommanderSwedePlays Actually there are quite a few that receive a lot of criticism, particularly SMB2.

[@rinrygamegame]

@BoltMitch Hahaha... at least you have memories of that lone Nova Scotian Mega Man cart ;)

[@pursuing222]

Glad Ninja Gaiden made the list! A very awesome franchise for the NES that I wish went beyond that system. I haven't played the newer ones but it looks lame and the story doesn't seem to relate at all to the original. I demand they restart the franchise! But dang was it hard! Never could beat the first 2 without using save states (so I never beat it as a kid). I only could beat 3 as a kid.

[@mcduffchannel]

I totally have an original mega man 2 cartridge :D it was and always be my favourite nes game! my ringtone on my phone at the moment is the AIRMAN theme annnnd capcom recently released megaman 2 on the iphone! which is my favourite app! for capcom to skip megaman 1 and go straight to 2 for a iphone app. They knew it kicked ass ;p BTW! yaaaay, thought I wouldn't see you again :p love your videos :D

[@estebanetchegoyen]

You have a beautiful voice. Great video instead. Thanks for posting. Greetings from Brazil.

[@SPac316]

Great video! It's funny how Street Fighter and Mega Man have one thing in common...nobody talks much about the first games from both franchises and their respective sequels are highly regarded as the better game.

[@FrostdPoptart]

@FJSpoof After re-watching the ending, I didn't see what you meant, so I searched for an after the credits thing, and saw a scene that I don't think I saw when I beat the game years ago. At this point, I really think that ruins the emotional impact as well. I see what you were saying, though I still prefer the sad ending because of its stronger emotional appeal. I prefer to think that was waking up in Zanarkand and not actually the very beginning of the 100% complete ending in FFX-2.
