The challenge? To play every NES game and put it up on youtube. I figured no one would do something that time consumingly stupid, but it turns out a few have. Or at least they've tried. What do people think of such a crazy idea?
If I were to attempt this, I would probably play them in alphabetical order rather than chronological order, simply because one of the people who is / has attempted this did chronological order.
I don't want to look up any strategies or things about games I haven't played before, because I think it will be fun to figure stuff out. The reason I really started focusing on this idea is because I feel like too often with games today there is little to solve. I remember back in the day trying to figure out what the hell was going on with the original Final Fantasy. It is fun to keep at it and beat what seemed impossible at once. I like to read the manual before I start a game, but that is about it.
After looking through the NES library I noted many titles probably weren't worth playing. Therefore, I have a tentative list of 200 titles. I wasn't aiming for any number so it was kind of amusing that I landed at exactly 200. The number will probably change as I'm going through, but that is my current goal. It was a somewhat arbitrary grouping based on personal preference, reviews, ratings, genre, variety, viewing potential, and game length. Some series of games I chose a single game and others I chose all.
I suppose the only remaining decision I have to make is to complete games before uploading them or upload videos as I progress through individual titles. There are merits for both and I am leaning towards uploading once the game is complete, but I do enjoy uploading as I progress to see comments. I may end up doing a mixture of both.

...Eh, sure, I guess it'd be a fun thing for you, but I wouldn't watch it. I'm here for the difficulty, and there are no restrictions in your challenge.
This thread is more of a "Is this a cool YT channel idea?" than a challenge.

Think Blaster Master, except make the top-down parts the main exploratory portion and then replace the platformer half with a shmup.
