Hardest NES Games

[Anonymous No.6424429]

Can we come up with a definitive Top 10 or Top 25 Hardest NES Games list? I'll start by contributing the obvious Battletoads and Ninja Gaiden.

Pic related deserves to be in the definitive /vr/ nes hard top ten for sure. Not only does the game demand your full attention, reaction time and reflexes as well as memory, but you have to beat it twice on an even harder difficulty. Back in the late 80s and early 90s there was a rumor that the game caused 13 suicides, but that number may have been exaggerated based on its occult meanings.

That port is shit. It takes an already hard game and ruins it with glitch ridden graphics and a stuttering frame rate. The arcade version is definitely better.

The arcade version feels like a finished game that demands your full attention, reaction time and reflexes as well as memory, the NES port tries to do that but can't because your attention is diverted to how it's together with duck tape and spunk. Kill yourself.

>The driving stages were the real hurdles because of the stric time limit and if you touch anything, you lose a life. Much easier when you got to New Orleans

He might be going off topic but he is 100% correct, don't be a moron. The port's framerate alone should disqualify it but it has so many more issues on top of that. It is kinda interesting though because it lacks polish compared to the arcade version and has even more random trash enemy spawns which almost makes it worth playing. It's too bad that everything around that is such garbage.

Deadly Towers. This game was originally called, "Shitty Towers," but when seventeen play testers went on a homicidal rampage, its name was changed to remind us all of that cold, bloody morning. This is the story of Prince Myer, the arson, as he quests to burn down some evil towers.

Most of Prince Myer's adventure involves fighting flying rats and blue bouncy balls by throwing his sword. The manual describes it like this:

"SHORT SWORD -- You start the game with this sword. It is so weak, you feel lonely (you have no confidence in this sword)."

Don't try to make sense of it. Just do everything in your power to not play this game.

I think this game was released by a concerned parent group to get kids to stop playing Nintendo. And it worked. Hundreds of children everywhere threw their controllers at the television and went outside, desperate for any activity that didn't involve Prince Myer or his deadly water puddle enemies. Others continued to play, and inevitably dismembered most of their families. Was it all worth it? Just so a few kids could get some sun?

Since then, a group has formed called, "C.h.a.d. T.a.c.o." (Concerned Humans Against Deadly Towers And Christian Orgasms) They tend to be a little extreme, but you haven't lived until you've been to a Chad Taco cartridge burning party.

Dirty Harry, Bart VS The Space Mutants, A Boy and his Blob, Ninja Gaiden, Battletoads, Silver Surfer, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!!, The Adventures of Bayou Billy, Milon's Secret Castle, and Adventure Island are probably among the top 10 hardest games.
Dirty Harry and the Simpsons game are defined by absolute platforming bullshit. A Boy and his Blob is fun up until you go to the other world, then it becomes pure bullshit. Ninja Gaiden's end-game fuckery is well known. Battletoads filtered most people by the third level. Silver Surfer is well known for being virtually impossible. Mike Tyson requires damn good reflexes. Bayou Billy is brutal from the very start. Milon's Secret Castle gets amazingly hard as it goes along, just as Adventure Island does.
Special mention to Solstice and Captain Skyhawk.

Gonna also put in Platoon by ocean. That game had you start out in a maze with objectives. 2nd level was a FPS like tunnel where limited ammo and dead ends would F you hard. Third level was actually easy but the 4th level was major bs. It took so long to memorize these levels and by the time you made progress, you would game over hard. When a game only has 4 levels you know it’s some major bs incoming

[Anonymous No.6425308]

>>6424448
I don't understand why people find this game so hard. It was hard but it's not really impossible level hard. 2nd loop felt extremely easy for me except the 2nd part. Once I got through that, it took me like 30 minutes to beat the game.

[Anonymous No.6425369]

>>6425308
AVGN memes, as usual. People don't judge game difficulty through direct experience they judge it by reputation, and once that "super hard" reputation gets going it snowballs until everyone's intimidated by the game no matter what its difficulty actually is. Same happened to Silver Surfer, but the best example is most likely Contra considering how easy the games actually are if you sit down and play.

It's the best weapon but not the only viable one. In the NES version you are sometimes forced to use the lance or torch because bosses are invincible to knives. It's possible to beat the game with just the torch but it's going to be a pain in the ass. The lance is a perfectly good weapon though, can go through the game with it just fine.

Silver Surfer took me two hours to beat. I bought a copy because I loved the music and was mildly curious about the game. I sat down to play it and sucked at it. Two hours later I was finished. I've never touched it outside that single session. It's only hard at first; it doesn't belong on this list at all. It's "well known" to be super hard because people are stupid and love fads.

Also I don't think Punch-Out belongs here. I wouldn't call that easy but I beat Tyson as a kid, without any great skill or special knowledge. I haven't played it in decades but I really wasn't that good at games then... I'm sure it doesn't belong in this thread.

The point about the framerate is legitimate; I want every NES game to have a good framerate. What kind of an idiot wouldn't care about framerate, or about port quality? But... a hard game is a hard game, whether it's a port or a bad game or anything else. If Ghosts 'n Goblins is hard then it belongs in this thread.

Huh really? I never would have even thought of that as being a hard game, or an easy one... I mean does it even have an ending? I remember playing long enough to upgrade the shape of the car twice; I was a kid at the time so I probably tended to eventually lose more because I'd run out of interest than because the game was too hard. I don't remember ever feeling like there was anything to aim for beyond what I was capable of doing in the game.

[Anonymous No.6426308]

>>6426265

Something that ANYBODY easily finished as a kid probably shouldn't be in a top ten list. Games where you have to practice for a long while to win can be called hard, but they're on a lower tier than Takeshi's Challenge or whatever. I bet there are enough games of that type, ones that are just too hard to figure out, to push the likes of Ninja Gaiden or Punch-Out!! off a top ten list.

Top 25 though, maybe not. I guess I was mainly thinking of a Top 10 list.

[Anonymous No.6432468]

>>6424971
Why were the American games sometimes easier than the Japanese counterparts? I understand the opposite: video store rentals were big in America, so developers might make the game generally more difficult, remove the option to continue, (such as Ninja Gaiden III) remove the option for a Level Select code, (such as Contra) or remove the checkpoint before the final boss (such as Castlevania 3) to incentivize American consumers to not settle for a rental and purchase the game full-price from a retail store. Also, this phenomena existed in reverse: Battletoads, a western-developed game, was altered to be reduced in difficulty when released in Japan for the Famicom.

But why would a Japanese game be localized in America to be easier? I find it really funny to think that the thoughts, "no, this is manageable for Japanese people but just too hard for Americans" could somehow be reconciled with developers and company staff with the thought, "we have to make it harder for Americans so they buy it." I'm aware there were multiple games and companies in question making these decisions. But there were definitely also patterns of thinking and industry standard that had overlap in terms of what mindsets influences these companies for the business decisions they ended up making over which revisions of the game to end up releasing.

Despite your autistic response, I will provide you with a YOU, but only because I am bored.

For me, the whole point of playing video games is to overcome their challenge. I want a game that's going to push me to my limits and demand my very best, and Battletoads does so better than most games. You won't make progress in the game unless you bring your best. Its challenge is designed to weed out the weak. It's for the gaming elite.

Battletoads' challenge is also fair, unlike a lot of other games that rely on cheap tactics and unavoidable hits to prevent the player from advancing, and each of it's 12 levels brings entirely different game play. It's like 12 games in one.

Speaking of version differences, the European version of Rygar had a bug that limited the max experience points you could get by about 1/4 of the other versions, making it almost unfeasible to beat the final boss. It's totally doable, but you have to use unconventional methods to make it a fair fight. You have to farm in the last stage until you get max resource, then farm some more until you get a double resource drop, at which point you will activate the area of effect spell which will make 10 of your attacks attack everything on screen, then pick up the double resource drop which will now make it so you can activate the spell for a second time. You keep the current activated spell stored, go through half the last level without attacking any monsters until you reach the boss, and then wail away at him with double area of effect spells. After they're both depleted you still have to hit him 13 times the regular way while he can still kill you in just 3 hits, and his bullet patterns are always completely random.

Can someone explain to me why Ninja Gaiden is perceived as hard? Besides the final boss I don't really have any issues. I think it has a great difficulty.
Compare that to Super Mario Bros. I never managed to get even past world 6 or 7 in the original and that's with warping at the beginning. In 2 and 3 I didn't even manage to beat half the levels.
How come a game where you can take like 10 hits, that has unlimited continues and short levels, as well as snappy controls, is considered more difficult than Mario?

Level design makes sure it takes one hit to kill you - by throwing you into a bottomless pit.

Only 20 percent of the time. It's not that bad and can even save you in some situations. Also the levels are so short that you directly get another chance

You answered your own question. First time playing, reaching Jacquio took me two hours.

Beating him took me six.

3rd game doesn't give you unlimited continues and is way harder

irrelevant since it most situations a single hit will make you fall into a pit

Honestly I didn't feel like Ninja Gaiden was that hard compared to stuff like Ghosts 'n' Goblins. It's got unlimited continues and it's not too hard to figure out the strategies. I think what makes specific NES games harder is whether or not they have a continue system.
