Favourite NES games?

[Changeling]

I've found that 97% of all great NES games just suck now. The only thing NES has going for it is nostalgia, and hot topic hipsters.

Also, +1 for favorite.

Awwww, sounds like someone isn't popular. Also, you were sperm while I was kicking Tyson's ass. STFU.

LOL!

Napalm is right (shudder). Most of these games are horrible and were worthless by 1990, let alone 2006. Every single genre the NES did was done better by 16-bit (similar to PSX/Sat/N64 vs. PS2/Xbox/GC). But 3% of the NES "classics" library is still a decent handful of solid games.

Most of my top NES picks are very well known games so I won't bother listing them but here are some other good ones:


Shatterhand

I just bought Shatterhand for 4 bucks last saturday!

I really want to try and find a pawn shop around here with an actual NES for sale, buy it and get a new 72 pin connector. Do you guys know any half decent online sites that sell NES sytems?

Ebay. If you look hard enough you can find some fantastic deals I bought my NES with two controllers, all the hookups and Captain Skyhawk for $10 BIN + $12.00 shipping. Over the weekend I saw a NES deck sell for $1.75 + $6.50 shipping.

Also, you were sperm while I was kicking Tyson's ass. STFU.

Mega Man series
Castlevania 1 and 3
Mike Tyson's Punch Out!
Duck Tales
Tecmo Bowl
Tecmo Super Bowl
Rescue Rangers
Kirby's Adventure
Ninja Gaiden series
Contra
Super C
Super Mario Bros. I did not like what Nintendo did to this game in All-Stars the original NES version is better.

Neozeed, is Metal Storm part of the Leynos series?

Nope. Metal Storm is by Irem and Leynos is by NCS. They are kind of similar though.

Every single genre the NES did was done better by 16-bit

I agree(except maybe for the action/puzzle genre). Some were done better on other formats in the 8-bit era too. That doesn't mean there isn't a good number of NES games still worth playing. A lot of NES games didn't have 16-bit sequels and these games often don't feel as dated.

Especially Jackal. That game never gets old for me. I still play it to this day. I really wish there was an update or sequel to it.

[RoleTroll]

Nostalgia? We knew most of the NES games were crap when released. Hell, most of the PS2 games are crap....

Super Mario Bros. I did not like what Nintendo did to this game in All-Stars the original NES version is better.

I agree. I liked the All-Stars versions of 2 and 3 better than the originals, though.

There hasn't been a Batman game as rad as the NES one. Period.

[Josh]

Mike Tysons Punch Out is still fun to this day.

Cobra Triangle is a game I still have not beaten.

John Elway's Football has the Reverse Play of doom.
