Enternal Champions was the hardest Fighting game that was ever made by Sega that should of been on the list!
why contra is #2?
it's pretty easy and i have finished alone with no cheat whatsoever.
Trust me, this list is for the the feint of heart. Angry Video Game Nerd's lists of games beats these all by a mile. The people or person that did this list obviously isn't a real hardcore gamer. As for hardest modern game? I'd say it's Halo 2 with all the skulls on. Then after weeping tears of blood for fifteen hours straight with no breaks, you might get past the first level.
I call bullshit on this list.
wtf? Where is Severence: Blade of the Darkness? Demon Souls is childgame in comparison with it.
I FUCKING LOVE SHINOBI (Although I never got to beat it)
Did you guys hear about the new battletoads comming out for the wii?
No "Superfrog", "Blues brothers" or "Nicky 2"?
Epic video for Super Ghoul 'n Ghost

I WANNA BE THE GUY!
LA MULANA!
One word: Touhou Project.
(p.s. all of the games on the list I have played were easy. How many people did they actually ask in that survey?!)
Stolen from my mind :) Touhou is one of those games that takes your soul's strenght to go PRO on. I mean..Play easy. Fail. Play Normal. Fail second time. Get to the boss. Fail 400 times. Epic kawaii fails Dark Souls style.
Well if you think those games are easy, then try Ninja Gaiden II/Sigma 2 or God of War III.
THE 7TH SAGA on SNES.
Hardest RPG I've played.
Fail list.
There are certainly harder games, and Battletoads most certainly tops Ninja Gaiden Black for the top spot.
The Ninja Gaiden series of games tend to be hard.
Battletoads was a game where 2-player games were a lot harder.
What about the final boss in Arc the Lad 2 for Platstation? That was guy was a dick!
that was a guy? that was a guy's dick? that was a dick?
This is so wrong, Devil May Cry 1 is a LOT harder than DMC3. That doesn't make any sense.
I am nominating Godhand on the List.That the healla game that make me rage on 2008.Especially Challange arena which pit you against lvl3 bosses fight without any support.
I was overjoy beating the ass of those gold/silver queers after spending like +30 tries over them
God Hand is tough, but satisfying when you go ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA followed by a Dragon Kick into the Milky Way or a Ball Buster on a guy in a gorilla suit.
There is one drawback of putting Ninja Gaiden or Devil May Cry on this list. That is, despite how hard they actually are, they are way too fun, enough so that too many people have actually finished the games.
Someone who put this list out of his ass should go die in a fire.
google tvtropes nintendo hard if you want real one.
metal gear solid? wait, what?
Where's Chips Challenge?
list is BS without NES Punch-Out...
I'm not buying the one for MGS.
Even on Extreme, it wasn't THAT hard. It's only annoying when you're gunning for Big Boss rank.
Contra was fitting among the old-school ones, since it's impossible sans the Konami code.
IWBTG=hardest game ever, no contest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut46QsQtQwA
I've played all those games, and I've gotta say, some of those games just don't belong there. They were hard, but there's bound to be others like even the SNES Contra version was harder than Devil May Cry 3.
Wow, whoever made this list has no idea what "difficult" even means. They need to start watching Until We Win:

I Wanna Be The Guy (2007)
I thought everyone hated Siren 1 because it was too hard?
Dude anything made post 2002 is considered recent imo. Well anyways the most epic video of the bunch has to be Ikaruga. That dude has an amazing mental capacity. Wonder how long it took him to perfect working both ships simultaneously I mean he just look like it was nothing...
...where the fuck is ChuChuRocket!?!?
Im highly dissapointed on this list, only 2 or 3 games truly deserve to be on this list.
What happened to Mushihimesame Futari Black Label? Why isn't it on there but Ikaruga is?
Where the hell is Silver Surfer for the NES at? That game is brutal.
I disagree with metal gear on the list and can only agree with DMC3 if they are talking about the original version without the easier difficulty level.
MGS 1, really? REALLY? I'm sorry but if you find that game that's just sad (BEST SERIES EVER!). Demon's soul doesn't deserve 4th place. It's an awesome game but in no way as difficult as noobs make it sound.
Yeah, the Metal Gear MSX2 series were much harder...
like walking over a swamp and going through electric floors without assistance
No Spelunker?
I'm I the only one wondering why Metal Gear Solid is on this list of the ten hardest games?
this list is about right, of course there are other countless games that could made the top ten.
just about every cave shooter could be on here but i suppose they just wanted to have a wide array of genres.
some games are just hard by design, like dmc3 but others more so to technical issues, like poor camera or buggy programming, in either case, games are just not as hard as they used to be.
This is honestly a bs list.. MGS.. seriously?
There were so many games from way back in the day that were difficult as hell, nothing compared to these
No NES Silver Surfer on this article. Full of fail.
fuck super ghouls and ghosts UN Squadron was way harder
No Touhou?
About Contra : i got something that is very similar on Game Boy and is named Probotector... after a little lookup on wikipedia is actually the Pal version that is named like this. And yes is very hard .. never passed stage 3 -_-
Why isn't Legend Of Zelda 2 on there?
On that list, I am sad to say that I've only played dmc3 and mgs. They weren't that. I would sooner say a rhythm game or "i wanna be the guy" would be tougher. Though I have to admit I'm not particularly fond of rhythm games.

just say BLACK LABEL or CAVE (死ぬがよい), can shit most people pants. Even EX mode of EOSD can't surpass.
Ikaruga? just memorize the patterns and change the polarities at the right moment and you'll do fine.
The worst game i'm playing now is: I wanna be the GB! (it's fucking hateful!)
I wonder why THE GAME is not on the list.
Ah shit. i just lost it.
