Hardest game ever.

[NerfedFalcon]

I've heard Ninja Gaiden 2 is very very difficult

The US version of Ninja Gaiden 3 (NES), you take twice as much damage as in the other versions. And it's a Ninja Gaiden game. And you don't get infinite continues. Have a lot of fun, you insane masochist.

Edit: I'd like to take this time to point out all of Rareware's Nintendo 64 collect-a-thons: Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie and Donkey Kong 64. The actual games aren't too bad, except for a few boss fights, but at first the amount of stuff in the games can be somewhat overbearing, particularly with that last one. Also, you WILL need a pen-and-paper for Banjo-Kazooie. Take notes of everything you see and everything you're told. And beat it before the second one. And keep all your notes.

Edit 2: Pokemon HG/SS has a large number of sadistic bosses (i.e. all the Johto gym leaders), the wild Pokemon are underleveled so it's harder to grind, no VS. Seeker, Whitney's Miltank, Morty's Gengar...If you undertake this journey, be prepared to reset. A lot. B/W/? also has a number of quite evil battles.

Simon. The only way to beat it is with a hammer. And that should be considered a crime.

 

[Nexus4]

Kaizo Mario, that is assuming that it counts.

My vote goes for this:

yeah, this was the first game that came to my mind as well, I have got it, and can't get anywhere. I don't know why either, it looks easy enough really, but when you get round to playing it, you just can't do it.

 

[StormShaun]

this does not applie for everyone but Demon Souls

Yeah sure warn me about he boulder trap behind me!

NOT

QWOP, Diablo 2 on harcore hell mode or this:

 

[Scarim Coral]

Wow no one mention Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts until now? To this day I can never get pass the first level.

Also Donkey Kong Country Return was quite hard as well (or Donkey Kong Country was super easy). I am ashame to called upon Super Kong plenty of time during that game.

 

[NLS]

Anyone remember Raptor: Call of The Shadows?
Man that was hard. I still haven't completed it on the easiest difficulty.

 

[baddude1337]

I wanna be the guy, QWOP, GIRP, Demons' Souls, Commandos, The Impossible Game, Super Meat Boy to name a few.

 

[Triangulon]

Op Flash. Brilliant but christ was it hard.

 

[Tax_Document]

Yeah, fucking brutal, and that shit isn't even the difficult part.

Trying to fight an AI when it's gone rogue in your Empire and decided to makes it own Factions is when it gets ridiculous.

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

The Prinny games on PSP are ludicrously difficult. And awesome.

 

[ManaCrazed]

hardest games huh, Ima go with Makken X, R-type, battletoads, Double Dragon

 

[mikey7339]

The original TMNT for the Nintendo...That game had me thinking I was just slow.

My vote goes for this:

This

I've just been playing it it's pretty damn hard. Anyway I have to go and buy a new controller.

 

[Pinkamena]

Is there even a doubt? It's IWBTG, or I Wanna Be The Guy, as it stands for.

I tried to play it through once. I spent a whole year, and didn't get to the end. I did however, die over 5 thousand times. FIVE. THOUSAND.
Yes, it's that hard. I mean, everything kills you. Even apples (which sometimes have the habit of falling UPWARDS). It's just ungodly difficult. Super Meat Boy is a walk in the park in comparison (I only died 700 times playing that game).

Here's a video (this guy must be God, by the way)

Edit: Take a look at the 4:30 mark. See those tetris blocks? You've gotta memorize where they land to survive. And just getting to the tetris blocks took me at least 10-20 tries.

I Wanna Be The Guy everything it trying to kill you
