Save stages and rewinds destroy nes enjoyment

Kinda funny to me how you start with Startropics and basically go “here’s all the reasons why it sucks, anyways you should totally play it”

"Mighty Final Fight" being apparently better than "Final Fight" reminded me of how "Mighty Gunvolt Burst" was an improvement from "Gunvolt Burst" It's silly, but that alone kinda makes me wanna try Mighty Final Fight out. :)

Where's Scrunt

Kind of a shame that you didn't go over the story in Joy Mech Fight, because it's literally JUST the story of Mega Man. To the point that the evil scientist's last name starts with W and plasters the letter W in some of the later stages in the game.

Donkey Kong country returns hd you want to know what I call it donkey Kong country returns again again

Do limited run gamecards tastes bad like the other gamecards?

Oh, Metal Storm's backgrounds scroll up and down as you move left and right? Vertical scrolling from horizontal movement? I felt queasy watching that footage. Might have to skip that game! ^^;

And The Lord said unto Noah, "Gather ye two of each animal, except those big-ass hornets."

Good thing that your opinions make no diff how a company runs, you should just care about the end product. Fuck that woke tranny if that's what you are referring to.

This game looks so fun other than the Nintendo switch version 😂

Nintendo's gonna look at this video and think "let's release Little Samson and Noah's Ark on NSO!"

i really like this format and i want a SNES one in the future, also, super adventure island 2 follows the exploration and metroidvania elements of the fourth one in NES

Amazing Video Ant im glad i watched it because i fit in this category of "the NES is a hard console to go back for me" but you showed some really interesting games i didnt know about and im eager to check them out.

You tried so hard not to sound too biased when talking about Star Tropics that you ended up mostly bashing the game and mostly telling people the reasons it has NOT aged well😅😂

I always love seeing the Gargoyle's Quest series getting the love it deserves

Even without emulator features, I’d say: Super Mario Bros 2 and 3 Mega Man 2 - 6 Wario’s Woods Tetris CastleVania CastleVania 3 Pipe Dream DuckTales Darkwing Duck The Little Mermaid (yes I’m serious) Kirby’s Adventure All still hold up quite well.

Does a game really hold up if you need save states to enjoy it?

"Games that hold up" "Use rewind or save states"

How I describe this game, is basically that unemployed friend simulator

Batman: The Video Game, DuckTales and The New Zealand Story are still excellent, as is Rad Racer.

I just beat New Ghostbusters II a couple weeks ago! Had a damn good time.

Baseball Simulator 2000 is the best NES baseball game.

My recommendation goes to Bionic Commando just for how unusual in its way it approaches platforming.

I was playing Felix the Cat, it's so much fun 😄😄😄

Sure you've heard about it by now but if you're looking for great retro inspired games with modern conveniences, you gotta check out UFO 50 if you haven't already. They got stuff similar to Metal Storm, some ridiculously tough (but beatable with hours of practice) Shmups, and some of the best puzzle games i've played in years. Would love to hear your thoughts on it if you play (or played) it

19:08 Konami only published the game. No idea who SR&D is.

I love Kickle Cubicle. I never hear anyone talk about it. I wish they'd put it on the switch.

Legacy of the Wizard

24:57 That's Rex Beat from Tecmo World Wrestling

Playing Little Samson, it's really damn good!

Man, Noah's Ark has a great art style for a weird throwaway title Not only does Mighty Final Fight have Guy and Cody, but Poison wasnt replaced by the mohawk dude, thats pretty cool

For mario luigi brothership.. it better be on the main channel.. otherwise.. it would be scandrel to do it after your incredible deep-dive into the brotherhood, wacky, and..lots of hours of grinding for levels.. of the Mario & Luigi series..

I grew up with the NES and I saw multiple copies of little Sampson for a few bucks and I actually owned 2 copies growing up and I sold 1 in the day but what I regret and hate most is that out of my whole NES COLLECTION I had an ACTION 52 (with a working version of Alfredo which is rare) and it's the only game I am missing somehow... I originally traded it for VMX RACING & Tomb Raider on PS1 which was a killer deal back when and I knew it in the day because even 3 sh17 games were worth more than that VMX game lol.

I am so glad you mentioned kickle cubicle. It's one of my favorite NES games ever, but whenever I talk about it no one seems to have ever heard of it. Such a hidden gem.

Jackal was one of my favorite NES games, period! My brother and I spent hours on it as a kid, seeing who could get farthest without dying!

Firebrand isn't the Red Arremer you fight as Arthur. If he were, the fight would be 1,000% more annoying than it is.

Always happy to see Metal Storm praise. That game rules.

Mario, Mario 3, Dragon Quest, Contra, Bubble Bobble, Castlevania I, II, III, Dragon Spirit, 1942, Metroid, Zelda, Zelda II, Turtles Arcade. No save states needed.

25:20 That may be one of the best looking covers I've ever seen for an nes game

The Lone Ranger, Arch Rivals, Rad Racer, and Gimmick are a few more NES games that are still really fun to play.

Not only the second Star Tropics was not released in Japan, the first one didn't either and I think that is one of the resaons the series never came back, it had a whole lot of less potential market. It's so weird, since there were other Nintendo games that didn't release in Japan, but they were basically all western made like Killer Instinct or Cruis'n, but ST was made in Japan and had elements from Zelda or even Dragon Quest, so not being released there is beyond me.

If anyone wants to know about the NES library beyond the ususal suspects or the bad games the AVGN has covered, I recommend the videos that the SNES Drunk has done of it's games, he specifically goes to see if a games is worth playing today, so rarely covers shovelware that is clearly not, and overall has covered several great NES games that are well worth playing if you don't mind a little bit of challenge.

Hebereke/Ufouria: the Saga, Joy Mech Fight, Quinty/Mendel Palace, Solomon's Key 2/Fire 'n Ice, Mighty Final Fight, Dragon Quest IV/Dragon Warrior IV, Mother/EarthBound Beginnings, Tetris, Ice Hockey, Dr. Mario, Super Mario USA/Super Mario Bros. 2, Kid Dracula, and Super Mario Bros. 3 are all games that I can contribute to this conversation. All of those are FANTASTIC and hold up really really well. Granted, quite a few of those are from the NES's later years and can be really expensive if you want a physical copy for OG hardware, but still. (Also, shoutouts to the Chip's Challenge prototype for NES and the Makai Island localization prototype. Those are both great as well (even though Chip's Challenge never released in general on NES and Makai Island only released in Japan, hence why I'm reccomending its English localization prototype)).

I feel like this game is just 'turn off ur brain and do some random jank.' I would definitely get it if it goes into a subscription game service and I get bore enough and just do random brainnless stuff.

i feel silly for expecting Shesez to make a cameo because of StarTropics

Sukapon should be upgraded to a playable fighter.

Panic Restaurant reminds me of Pizzah Towa' :D

You mean to tell me Metroidvanias have existed long before the term was created and that it didn't start with Castlevania using elements from Metroid, a game that falls under the description but preceded SOTN by at least a decade? I am shocked. SHOCKED, I SAY!!! /s
