10. Zelda II: The Adventures of Link: NES
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is an action adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System, and it is the second installment in The Legend of Zelda video game series. It was originally released in Japan on the Family Computer Disk System less than a year after the release of the original The Legend of Zelda. Nintendo released Zelda II in Japan on January 14, 1987, seven months before the United States saw the release of the first Zelda title.
Nintendo released Zelda II in North America in 1988, one year after its initial release in Japan, converting the game from its initial Disk System format to the NES cartridge. The Adventure of Link is a direct sequel to the original The Legend of Zelda, again involving the protagonist, Link, on a quest to save Princess Zelda, who has fallen under a sleeping spell.
The Adventure of Link's emphasis on side-scrolling and RPG-style elements, however, was a significant departure from its predecessor. The game was highly successful at the time and introduced elements that would become commonplace in future Zelda games. It was followed in 1992 by The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the Super NES. -Wikipedia.org
9. Alien vs Predator: Jaguar
Alien vs Predator is a video game developed by Rebellion and published by Atari Corporation for the Atari Jaguar console in 1994.

8. F-Zero GX: GameCube
F-Zero GX is a futuristic racing video game for the Nintendo GameCube console. Developed by Sega's Amusement Vision department and supervised and published by Nintendo, it was released in Japan, Europe and North America in 2003. F-Zero AX, the arcade counterpart of GX, uses hardware conceived from a business alliance between Nintendo, Namco and Sega.
F-Zero GX runs on an enhanced version of the engine that powered Super Monkey Ball. F-Zero GX/AX was the first video game collaboration between Nintendo and Sega. The game received critical acclaim as one of the best racers of its time and the greatest racer on the GameCube platform.
F-Zero GX is the fifth released installment in the F-Zero series and the successor to F-Zero X. The game continues the series' difficult, high-speed racing style, retaining the basic gameplay and control system from the Nintendo 64 game. A heavy emphasis is placed on track memorization and reflexes, which aids in completing the game.
GX introduces a "story mode" element, where the player assumes the role of Captain Falcon through nine chapters while completing various missions. Overall, the game was well-received by critics for its visuals, intense action, high sense of speed and track design. Complaints centered on its sharp increase in difficulty that may alienate players. -Wikipedia.org

Several Contra sequels were produced following the original game. -Wikipedia.org
This is a list of some of the hardest video games ever to beat. These games are very difficult to play and understand and have been well known by many experienced gamers. I hope you enjoy!
6. Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels: Super NES
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, known in Japan as Super Mario Bros. 2, is a platformer video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Family Computer Disk System. First released in Japan on June 3, 1986, it is the direct sequel to the second best-selling video game of all time, Super Mario Bros. Due to the game's high difficulty and similarity to its predecessor, Nintendo of America chose not to release it in the United States until the Nintendo Virtual Console release in 2007.
A full remake, entitled Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, was included as part of the Super Mario All-Stars collection for the Super NES. More recently, the original Disk System version was made available as a download (including North America) for the Wii Virtual Console as of 2007. Unlike the 16-bit SNES version, the Virtual Console version is the original Disk System version with all its original subtitles (although like Super Mario Bros., the original game was already entirely in English). -Wikipedia.org
5. Mega Man 9
Mega Man 9 is a platform game developed by Capcom and Inti Creates. It is the ninth game in the original Mega Man series, and the first series re-release (not counting spin-offs) since the 1998 game and 2002 release of Mega Man & Bass. The game was published by Capcom in 2008 on the PlayStation Network, WiiWare and Xbox Live Arcade. Mega Man 9 continues Mega Man's fight against Dr. Wily and his robot creations.
Although the game was developed for modern consoles, Mega Man 9 uses graphics and sounds similar to the Nintendo Entertainment System as a throwback to the earlier games in the series. The cover art, too, is a nod to the covers of the early Western titles. The game was a commercial success and received mostly positive reviews from critics, which prompted Capcom to follow the game up with a sequel, Mega Man 10. -Wikipedia.org
4. Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts: Super NES
Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts is a side-scrolling platform game produced by Capcom originally released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991.

3. Demon’s Souls: PlayStation 3
Demon's Souls is a fantasy action role-playing video game developed primarily by From Software (with assistance from SCE Japan Studio) exclusively for the PlayStation 3. It was released in Japan on February 5, 2009 and published by Sony Computer Entertainment; in North America on October 7, 2009 and published by Atlus and in Europe on June 25, 2010 and published by Namco Bandai.
Set in a dark fantasy medieval Europe-inspired world, players take control of a custom hero who has journeyed to the fictional kingdom of Boletaria, which is being ravaged by an accursed fog that brings forth demons that feast on the souls of mortals. The game has been described as a spiritual successor to the King's Field series, a previous series of games from the same developer.
The gameplay involves a character creation system with emphasis on gathering loot through combat with enemies in a non-linear series of varied locations. It also has a unique online multiplayer system integrated into the single-player where players can leave useful messages and warnings for other players' game worlds. -Wikipedia.org
2. Ninja Gaiden Black: PlayStation 2
Black is a reworked compilation of the original Ninja Gaiden and the two Hurricane Packs. The game features new foes, such as exploding bats and doppelgänger fiends who can imitate Ryu. It contains more costumes than the original, and swaps Ninja Gaiden's unlockable NES games for an arcade version.
One key feature of the remake is its two new difficulty settings—the easy 'Ninja Dog', and the very hard 'Master Ninja'. Itagaki added Ninja Dog after receiving complaints of Ninja Gaiden being too hard in its default incarnation, although he believed that, with persistence, any player was capable of completing the game.
Hence he ensured that those players selecting Ninja Dog would be subjected to gentle mockery by the game—players on this difficulty setting receive colored ribbons as accessories, and Ayane treats Ryu as an inferior. In compensation, Itagaki made the other difficulty settings harder than in Ninja Gaiden. Ryu's adversaries were strengthened and made more aggressive, and some of his offensive moves, such as the Flying Swallow, were toned down. -Wikipedia.org
1. Battletoads: NES
Battletoads is a video game developed by Rare Ltd. Starring three anthropomorphic toads named after skin conditions (Rash, Zitz and Pimple), the game was created to rival the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games. The first game was developed by Rare for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991.
It was subsequently ported by Mindscape to the Amiga in 1992, by Sega to the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Sega Game Gear both in 1993, by Rare to the Game Boy in 1993 retitled as Battletoads in Ragnarok's World, and by Mindscape to the Amiga CD32 in 1994. Ports for IBM PC and Atari ST were planned by Mindscape but never released. A fully developed Sega Master System version was also kept unreleased by Sega. -Wikipedia.org
