You have see the hardest video games list I, do you like the 6 - 10 hardest video games? Mayby you think the hardest video games are easy, but I want to know whether you have played the video games ever. The following are the 5 - 1 hardest video games.

Top 10 Hardest Video Games - 5. Mega Man 9 (Various)

Mega Man was always a tough game, but when the franchise came back with a retro ninth edition in 2008, it really entered the seventh circle of hell. The graphics and sound were not the only things in Mega Man 9 that harkened back to the golden age of video games, because the difficulty will have you crying like a kid all over again.

Hardest part: Even the so-called easiest stage in Megan Man 9, the Galaxy Man level, features one particularly punishing trap that involves spikes and flying robots who randomly drop down from the sky and grab you. Mega Man 9 lets you know very early on that this is not a game for casual players.

Top 10 Hardest Video Games - 4. Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts (Super NES)

Unlike everyone’s favorite video game plumber, once Sir Arthur from Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts commits to a jump, you are stuck. Without any control of his momentum in the air, every time you leave your feet in Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, it is an adventure in itself. Considering that you will be jumping a lot in this game, it is not uncommon to land on a pile of newly spawned enemies. Added to these happenstance deaths is the sad reality that the checkpoints in Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts feel like they are worlds apart.

Hardest part: It is hard enough to beat Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts once, but to get to the actual ending to the game you need to complete the entire thing a second time. We just dare you to not rip the game out of your Super NES after you finally reach the princess and she sends you all the way back to level one.

Top 10 Hardest Video Games - 3. Demon’s Souls (PLAYSTATION 3)

When Demon’s Souls came along this year, it was a shock to not only players’ sensibilities, but also the video game industry as a whole. Here was a new game that did not pander to current conventions, but rather the designers stuck to their convictions and created something that kicked your butt seven ways from Sunday.

Hardest part: On Halloween 2009, publisher Atlus made a tough game even harder. For one night only, they gave all of the already challenging enemies a boost by plunging the entire world into pure black tendencies. Sure, they offered special loot rewards, but it’s not like anybody even stood a chance at getting them.

Top 10 Hardest Video Games - 2. Ninja Gaiden Black (PlayStation 2)

Be forewarned that just by turning on Ninja Gaiden Black, you are likely to have about 15 years taken off your life. From its gang-attacking multiple enemies to the spirit-crushing boss fights that lack any discernible pattern or weakness, this game is pure evil. The Black in Ninja Gaiden’s title clearly stands for the color of its heart, because this thing is as unforgiving as it gets.

Hardest part: She might be decked out in pink from head to toe, but Ninja Gaiden boss Alma would make even the toughest guys weep. A Ninja master knows no pain like having a giant marble pillar tossed on top of his head by this winged woman of death.

Top 10 Hardest Video Games - 1. Battletoads (NES)

Back before Rare made games with cute piñata animals and loveable bears, the developer was responsible for some lethally hard games. No game is more infamously a representation of pure unadulterated evil as Battletoads. This early ‘90s beat-‘em-up platformer took the familiar tropes of Double Dragon and ratcheted it up to 11.

Hardest part: The last level of Battletoads is obviously a beast, but the Volkmire’s Inferno level will usually put an end to any mere mortal’s quest to finish this game. This is one of Battletoads famous speed levels, and really the only strategy that is even the least bit effective is trial and error. You just don’t survive Volkmire’s Inferno, plain and simple.
