What the hell beat this?!?
sees #1
Oh…yup
No Contra or Limbo?!
Agree with the games, disagree with the order.
Of course Cuphead is on the list it took me months ( maybe 5 ) to beat…
Where is castle crashers?
How is Mega Man 9 the hardest in the franchise? I beat this about 8 times.
I've beaten two of these: DKC Returns and Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment.
I had DK returns as a kid i beat it but it took a while
What about undertale
Shovel knight spectre of tournment is pretty easy
Talks about Battlekid and unparalleled gamer rage
Doesn't include Arin Hanson losing his mind over the Plant
Where's rayman?!
where is geometry dash?
Those damn ghost and goblins!
Getting over it
Geometry Dash
takeshi's challenge?
Not even a mention of Hollow Knight?!
No Battletoads and you put Ghosts and Goblins #1? FFS talk to someone who has actually finished these games before you make the lists.
argument place ethics amid proposed arrest throat no gain.
Cuphead wouldnt even be on the top 100. Come on I mean I would rather play Cuphead with my feet than play Ninja Gaiden
Number 1 Super Mario Bros. 2(The Lost Levels)
What About Alien Hominid??
Original Rayman
Top ten Star Wars monsters
I'm sorry, but Mega Man 9 is NOT the hardest game in the classic series. That title goes to either 1or 3.
At first I thought that there was no game that could be harder than SUPER MEAT BOY,and then I rememberd the game that's in the top of this list
I don't get why people keep calling Cuphead hard. I found it to be really easy and ended up beating the game on my first try.
Where's hotline miami?
My friend and I are only half way through cup head but we've played for about 10 hours, and 995 fails. Doesn't help that we play when it's 2am my time and 12am his time.
Where is battletoads
