Sorry, but Caveman Games is just horrific….. So much button pressing, and the stupid events make it one of the worst GAMES of all time. I'm just shocked, that's all. 🙂 Could have put in Tecmo Bowl or Mike Tyson for that one, but it's your video/list! You got it right with #1, right on! Enjoyed watching!
I'm not a sports guy and I say it all the time, but I have and enjoy all of those games. MT Punch Out should've been on there though. If we don't count Punch Out, Baseball Stars is my fav sports game. But I like Black Bass better than Blue Marlin lol. Nice vid!
Blades of steel hands down is my favorite nes sports game, caveman games is so horrible
I have quite a grip against sports games on the NES, especially that a lot of their sound drivers are a pain in the fucking ass to rip. So for that, my favourite is probably Soccer or a few games of the Quattro Sports cart.
Surprised nobody's mentioned any of the Nekketsu Kunio Kun sports games, the basketball and ice hockey games were phenomenal but were not released outside Japan. A few games such as the soccer one was released (although rebranded as "Nintendo World Cup").
Nice list. I had several of those games and they were my favorites as well (TSB and DD). I also loved Jack Nicholas Golf. Different holes from different courses. Fun!
3:23 starman vs corn! wish I had played any of the football games
Little League Baseball is underrated, funnest game my brother and I played on the system.
Your videos are getting better each time. Great work and thanks for the entertainment !
no Arch Rivals?
Tecmo Super Bowl! Hell Yea!
My birthday is November 21st I will be 27 years old.
I wouldn't mean seeing an Genesis version of this list. Also could you do an list for my birthday please?
Interesting thing with Captain Tsubasa is that exactly the same gameplay was used for Blitzball in Final Fantasy X. Rather than Super Dodgeball I think there should be other sports games from Kunio-kun series like soccer, hockey, basketball or Crash 'n the Boys: Street Challenge. All of them are better than Dodgeball. There are also Olympic games by Capcom and Konami, both are great and one of the best games on NES.
Somebody is losing weight…
Nice use of the Gremlins 2 soundtrack. 😉
As awesome and nostalgic pro wrestling is, I think I would have chosen tecmo wrestling instead. Otherwise, great list
Great list overall. One of mine that I was hoping would show up is Cyberstadium Series Presents Base Wars. Definitely a bit goofy, but it had a fun soundtrack, great action and the ability to keep updating your players kept the action pretty fresh for me.
Track and Field II didn't even get an honorable mention? Damn…
Soccer and george foreman ko boxing are terrible games
Glad NES Ice Hockey made Mention. Was about to say, "Where is it??"
As for countdown list, how about 'most unheard of NES titles' or 'most difficult'?
Super Spike V'Ball is seriously underrated.
Speaking of Punchout…i'd love to see you do a Play It Through of both Tyson's Punchout and Super Punchout. That would be awesome at some point. Wouldn't fault you for not wanting to play Power Punch 2 (the NES sequel) though. Unless you'd already done both the others (and the original arcade version) and wanted to just do it for completion sake lol.
Base Wars was always a favorite of mine. Pretty weird combination of a beat-em-up, RPG, sports game and simulation, but it was a lot of fun to play.
Worst games, MLB and NFL, by LJN, enough said. Some games that would have made my top 10 would have been Tecmo NBA( over DD) and Baseball Simulator 1000 (over dusty diamond) and other honorable mentions are Jordan vs Bird, Ultimate Basketball(Sammy), Track and Field 2, Nintendo World Cup Soccer(made by the RCR people), Ring King, and I'd guess I'd give a nod to Arch Rivals
One of my favorites would be Bad News Baseball game is a lot of fun to play
Anyone ever play Base Wars? Robot baseball. Robots fight on tagouts. Awesome robots.
Ahh… Super dodge ball I still am not that great at it… I mean I can handle bean ball but still learning to beat the world tour…
Captain Tsubasa 2: Super Striker is the best game i ever played but it japanese only
Hey everyone thanks for checking out the countdown. I have a few countdown list ideas going but if you have anything you think would make for a good countdown please let me know. I plan to do a worst nes sports games list next week so be sure to let me know which ones you think are the worst I have quite a few ones in mind like 10 yard fight.
