All 34 Konami NES Games RANKED! 

This is my personal opinion, but if any Konami game should be a S-Tier it is Contra. It is a nearly perfect video game and it is the game that most people associate the “Konami Code” with, which is an iconic piece of video game history. We all loved it back then and it was regarded as one of the best NES games everyone wanted to play along with games like Zelda, Mega Man 2, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out and SMB 3. Finally, in my eyes it is still one of the best co-op games to this day.

I just discovered your channel. You're off to a great start! I see big things in your future! Btw, excellent ranking of Konami games.

Recently found you and I'm so pumped someone else knows and enjoys monsters in my pocket.

I thought I was the only one who played Lone Ranger on NES! That game was awesome!

Just discovered your channel & you in a Block M solidified my sub / support. Go Blue!

Really enjoyed this one. The glory days of good old Konami were something special. I have a soft spot for Bayou Billly, because I was sick for a long time, and the only thing I felt like doing was play video games, so I got good enough at it to reach the two Terminator final bosses, even though I was never able to beat them. There is a game called "Mad City" for the Famicom that uses the same assets but is much more forgiving. Also, I'm kind of in a similar boat as you with Contra. It's a game that I appreciate, but not one that I necessarily have fun with. I'm always tensed up when I play it, and it's life a sigh of relief when I finally finish it. Anyways, sorry for the long comment, and thanks again for the video!

I remember playing a lot of those games as a kid. Man watching these videos makes me wish I didn't get rid of my old systems!!! Also, I would love to see rankings of the Bethesda games.

1:00 Jack Nicholson needs a golf game

Track n field higher than Ninja Turtle 3!😮

I’m interested to see what you say about Contra if you rank Konami games on the SNES or Genesis. The vibe of NES Contra is very different.

Great tier rankings Ultra...

Loved this video but I would love it more if you ranked it worst to best, like 34 to 1. Still the video is really fun to watch. Cheers

Double dribble was A class, fun as hell but could use upgrade in graphics and player skills. Every player was the same 😂

Why didn’t you include the “Ultra” games like TMNT and Metal Gear? They are all Konami games.

Man, bayou billy was fun as hell, hard, but fun as hell. s class for sure

It’s fun to play The Goonies 2.

Contra and Super Contra are the Best till today. TMNT 2 and 3 are masterpieces. They are S Rank

Out of all the sports games on NES I would say tecmo bowl and blades of steel are the best ones 👍

Can we hope for a SNES Konami ranking video? That would be so awesome!!

Track and field is S class

Was your Goonies II cartridge glitching out? That first area is not supposed to look like that. Pretty weird!

Contra will always be an S to me. I bought it with money that I saved up and loved the game as soon as I turned on my NES. Actually, I just played through it about 1 month ago. I used the Konami code. I think I had around 5 lives at the end.

Nice Michigan hat!

manhattan project should be ranked higher, it's frustrating but challenging in a motivating way... I would give it a B, it is fun once you figure out the tricks

Wait, what are these “pre-rankings” all about?

Contra S class for sure. That game was fun as hell.

You look like "the immortal" john hancock

Adventures of Bayou Billy definitely deserves B. It's 3 games in 1! You can even use a famicom gun in several levels. Contra force is the B game!

Bayou Billy was actually made more difficult for the western release. The Japanese version Mad City is way easier.

The Ultragames label games should also be added to this list. As ultragames like for example Metal Gear and Roller Games were released under the actual Konami brand. Palcom Software was the European version of Ultragames. Castlevania III was released under that label in EU.

Castlevania S class

I've heard only good things about double dribble, never seen any channel on RU-vid say a bad word about it so I was shocked when you gave it a D- lol

Wow I'd give Double Dribble at least a B. I don't follow the NBA, but the game rocked! Contra is easy, I beat it a few times without dying.

I thought this was (John Riggs) thing..!?

Frankly, I'm surprised Bayou Billy wasn't an F. I gave it a try out of interest in the genre mashup and setting with high hopes going in, but I found it completely unplayable.

Contra, castlevania 1-3 and lifeforce should be in the tier above s Godtier

Wow!, as an adult.., contra original is still a S every day sir!

Where's tmnt1 and 2?

What about TMNT II : The Arcade Game wasn't that Konami

Nostalgia does seem to amplify opinions over time. Super C, Life Force and Blades of Steel stand out as my top 3.

Wait Top Gun and Top Gun 2 got F's? They're way more than playable. Sorry but you lost me

Back when konami cared about their Fans. Now it's all 💩

@Square pegs sorry. But your wrong about tmnt 3. I like 2 but 3 is the cleaner better version. Designs are better. Controls alot better. Music is as good if not better following the animated design was the smarter choice this is easy S tier spot. A Tier on the low end not C. You may want to look harder

Contra and Turtles 3 are S tier,how can someone hate manhatan project

Blade of Steel is S tier all day long.

Tiny toons is S easily

Ah man I hate top gun..F! HAHA

Tmnt 3 vs Monsters in my pocket...tmnt 3 will win every time 🐢

Hold up, did I miss something? Where's Metal Gear? That's Konami, right? Was it so bad it didn't even place? I know the game's not great but surely it's better than Top Gun! I dunno. I Feel Asleep.

I'm sorry, but I completely disagree with your ranking. Castlevania 3 is better than Castlevania 1? Contra is a B? Bayou Billy a D? Blades of Steel S? Track and Field 2 not S? WOW. Your rankings are like my little brother telling me he likes a game just because they were easy. Back in the day, the hard games were considered the better games. We played NES games in a room full of kids so the 2 player games rank very high. No hate for you and thanks for the rankings, but as a Gen Xer who owned the games, this ranking is so so wrong.

5:45 Is when turned this video off.

Simons quest A class, not as good as the first

Konami made better games for MSX standard.
