In this episode of The Terrible Gamers Podcast, Kevin and Kyle return to the legendary world of the Nintendo Entertainment System to settle one question once and for all: What is the greatest NES game ever… according to us? Forget IGN’s list, forget the critics, forget the “official rankings.” This is about the games we actually played, the games we actually loved, and the 8-bit classics that shaped our entire retro gaming childhood.

Kevin jumps in with his trademark energy, calling out NES classics that deserve way more love, while Kyle brings the calm, reasoned breakdowns that keep the whole debate from spiraling. Together, they compare their personal top-tier NES picks against IGN’s “greatest games” list to see where the two worlds collide—and where they crash spectacularly.

From platformers to action-adventures to those unforgettable cartridge-era soundtracks, the guys dive deep into the titles that truly define retro video games and why some games absolutely belong at the top, no matter what the critics say.

If you're a fan of retro gaming, NES classics, YouTube gaming podcasts, or ranking the best games of all time, this episode is loaded with nostalgia, opinions, and the usual Terrible Gamers chaos.
