Konami was undoubted one of the kings of Nintendo publishers in its prime, but how to their own games stack up against each other? Here I rank every game Konami released for the NES. See where your favorite made it on the list!
And, yes, Ultra games will be getting its own video. There's a lot more games by Ultra that you may realize.
Rank them yourself! tiermaker.com/create/konami-n...

Original Contra getting a B is a travesty. One of the reasons it was so popular is because it controlled so well. The running, jumping, and shooting (8 directions!) was so smooth compared to the vast majority of NES games. And it had a great sound track. This was a very well-made game for its time. Now that I've unleashed my righteous Contra fury, I have to say I love these NES ranking videos. Thanks for making them!

I have to say this about Goonies 2: it's a game I can beat in 30 minutes or maybe a bit less and one of my favorites growing up (still is). Here's the secret to how to tell which direction you came from in any given room that has different side-scrolling areas (based on either going north or south (north being what you can see and south being what you can't see)). Look at the way Mikey is facing in the lower left of the screen. If he has his face towards you, he came in from the north side. If he's got his back towards you, he came in from the south side. Mikey will stay this way until you leave the room back to the side-scrolling.

Blades of Steel is amazing. Definitely the best hockey game on Nes and in the top 3 of all sports games on Nes. Also, Contra, Lifeforce, Super C and Jackal could be higher.

I've watched about 10 of these so far and I LOVE them. That said we have WAY different tastes. Ive been able to bite my tongue until now, but: Contra deserves an "s"! Also, in the last video you ranked "Family Feud" as an "A" and just .... Wow. I couldn't disagree more lol... BUT as I ramble on with my ranting rant I want to reiterate: these videos are nostalgia gold. Thank Riggs!

Thanks for all of your great videos. I believe Contra and Castlevania are two of the best video games of all time and deserve S-Tier for sure. If there was a higher tier I’d put them there. Have a good day!

@JohnRiggs These have been super fun to watch. The nostalgia!! WOOT!! I'll do a list, sounds hella fun. But I may just have to replay some or play some since I like yourself didn't see the Ninja game until WAAAAY later. Hmm, what Company are ya gonna do next? Culture Brain? Hudson Soft? Jaleco? Also, I usually play some of the soundtracks via youtube, and yeah Bayou Billy's soundtrack is LIIT(Fire). Will you jump on the Snes or Mega Drive and rank some of their games?

Sunsoft's version of Spy Hunter was vastly superior to the arcade for its incredibly tight controls. Gremlins 2 is also very underrated.

Hey John! Love your show! So happy to see that someone else loves Simon's Quest as much as I do. Question for you. Do you still do NES open cart surgery?

I meant to mention this in my previous post but please do an Ultra Games list when you have time! I was disappointed when you didn't include Ultra Games titles as Gyruss is a dark horse classic that I love (intuitive gameplay and a GREAT soundtrack) and Rollergames is a fun little gem (was the 100th video game I beat too so it has a special place in my heart). You DEFINITELY need to do a Sunsoft list as well. Just know that if Blaster Master isn't S-tier I will cry myself to sleep. :p :p :p

Since you mentioned the voice samples, Double Dribble has this patch out that makes the intro about as clean as Nascar. No new samples, just pure bugfixing.

Contra is above S. It's one of the few games I still play regularly. If you want to enjoy it more, I suggest trying to play it without dying. This is much easier than it sounds because it's so balanced. Keep Spread with Rapid. Do NOT use the Konami code. It's much more fun when you're playing at the peak of your perception as opposed to casual play.

Great call on Simon's Quest. Vastly underrated, but extremely enjoyable. I never beat the original, but I too enjoy the exploration aspect of Simon's Quest, and I've probably played through it at least six or seven times. I was thrilled to see that it made its way to the NES Classic.
