How about a list of NES games that have never been topped?
Ninga Gaiden 1-3
Adventures of Lolo
Bubble Bobble/Rainbow Islands
Contra (well, there have been others just as fun, but others not as fun)
Gradius (more play time than any other)
NES dominates the arcade style sports genre as well as being the primary home of gaming's greatest series. It holds up quite well~
I voted no... for the simple reason that IMO a lot of the big games of the NES era - for me, at least - were done better in the SNES era. A lot of my favorite NES games had counterparts, sequels or upgrades in the SNES era.
Yes, Ninja Gaiden alone does it for me. Hell, Super Mario Bros. is still fun to play today.
second best system of all time.
I voted yes. Without the MMC chips, though, it probably wouldn't have fared so well over the years.
*goes back to playing Castlevania 3*
Some games, yes. Many games, no. I agree that Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania, Contra, etc were done better on the SNES and beyond. However I still contend that the games on my list above were not done better elsewhere. NES Battletoads > Battlemaniacs, NES Tecmo Superbowl > varios SNES Tecmo Superbowls, MT Punchout!! > Super Punchout, etc.Quote:

Just because a game is done better on the SNES, doesn't necessitate that its earlier counterparts are unplayable. Zelda, Punch-Out, Mega Man, and many more are still fun nonetheless. It's not like they are complete remakes and you have no other reason to play the NES originals...Quote:
