Wow, it's amazing to see how many people thought the mario series was hard. I always found it easy, and my mom's been telling me i beat it when I was 3 years old. Whether or not that's true, I have to agree with almost all of the other games that people have listed.
People have different gaming talents, but the NES library truely has a collection of games that can appear to be so simple yet they make you rip your hair out and lose sleep over it. Another game that comes to my mind is abadox. Ugh, makes me shiver and it's difficulty.

Castlevania II.
Seriously, now that we're in the computer age I can look up how to get past certain parts. Now that I know what to do, I can honestly say I never even had a chance at finishing this game way back when. The translation on key parts of the game were extremely flawed...to the max.

I could never beat Battletoads, and I could never beat Willow either. Also Castlevania because my game freezes at the same spot every time, which is at the very last level.

Ninja Gaiden had me for a long time, but I finally managed to get past it...

The original Ninja Gaiden. The last area was hard as hell to get through, and the final boss came in two or three different forms. If you died during any part (there are four, including last boss), you went back the the beginning of the area, instead of the stage you were on. The final boss was made especially difficult because of the lack of an energy refill near the boss's room. You basically had to be so good getting through the three-part area before the boss that you were at full life, and anything less than half a bar guaranteed death.

I couldn't beat Legend of Zelda. As a matter of fact, I couldn't beat ANY Legend of Zelda game. Pathetic, I know, but i was never into those type of games. You can start the "You Suck" repies now.

I feel your pain, SuperAgentZero!

I could NEVER beat Zelda II: the Adventures of Link. I'd walk around the towns, laughing at the woman who said "I don't know anything." (the funniest thing when I was 6) but once I got into battle I would either die or just get confused. I've tried again in the past few years to no avail. I think I'm missing something important. *^_^* I enjoy the other Zelda games, but something about that version and the first Gameboy one. . . I could never get past the first cave.

I'm glad to finally meet someone with the same trouble! A few of my friends are huge Zelda fans, and they thought it was pathetic that I couldn't beat the second game. I knew I couldn't be the only one confused by the earlier games! Thank you. You have renewed my faith in my gaming abilities :P

Even though I've beaten a fair share of Nintendo games, there were about a million I couldn't.

Battle Toads, MC Kids, Double Dragon 3(Couldn't beat the last boss), Adventure Island 1, Simon's Quest, Goonies II, Monster Party, Contra, SuperC. I'll add more as they come to mind.

Street Fighter 2010 - The last boss was just plainly impossible for me and it haunts me to this day that I could get close to beating it and end up dying all the time with my hopes up.

Zanac - That game is just plain crazy with all the stuff flying and coming at you. VERY HARD!
