What are some really good NES games?
 

I got this emulation ish for my DS and I can play NES games on it now, but I never had an NES black in the day (first console was a 2600, second was a SNES, etc). So I know about only the games that my friends had and a few that I read about in some ultra old Gamepro issues.

So yeah, list wesome NES games here.

um hello, Mega Man 2

oh god, I just read you never played NES. wow, what the fuck man?

Kung Fu
Mario 1, 2 and 3
Contra
Ninja Gaiden
Ducktales (I fucking love this game)
Zelda
Mega Man 1, 3, 4 (kind of got hard after 4)

there's like 100 more good ones people will list

Kung Fu is garbage. Everything else on the list is good tho.

Rescue Rangers
TMNT 3 (knda hard, but a nostalgia trip)
Bionic Commando
Double Dragon I & II
Castlevania

I sense somebody couldn't beat Kung Fu. probably got your ass kicked by those little kids.

yea, Rescue Rangers is awesome.

and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is my favorite. It's the Arcade version

All time NES favorite: 3D Battles of World Runner AKA 3D World Runner. Just don't expect to beat this.

Other classics:
Mega Man 2, beaten this 15 times. The first mega man game is awful and the rest just don't feel the same. Possibly the best all around game on the NES.

Balloon Fight: Classic Action Series fun, you fly around popping other peoples balloons. Balloon Trip mode is where it's at though.

Clu Clu Land: Another classic action series game, except this one is really fucking hard to get used to.

MOTHER: Predecessor of EarthBound. Actually a Famicom game but your emulator should play it, and the translated version of it is known as EarthBound Zero.

Little Samson: Great platformer. Similar to Mega Man, but not trying to be Mega Man at all.

Kirby's Adventure: About as good as graphics can get on the NES

Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!

Ninja Gaiden/Ninja Gaiden 2/3: Good but hard as hell

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3

TMNT 2 needs six buttons tbh. Pretty sure TMNT 3 was actually built for the NES so I like that one more

Yeah, and you can get the original arcade version on Live, anyways.

Also, I a am of the unpopular opinion that Megaman 3 is better than megaman 2.

I did not say I never played NES, I said I never had NES. Big difference. All my friends had NES.

When I was 8, I came to Canada from Zimbabwe and discovered video games. I bugged my parents for an NES, they said no. I bugged them more, and I got an Atari 2600. At the time I was like "... k, thanks but this is not an NES". Then SNES came out and I got the SNES, Super Mario World and Ultraman for Christmas. WIN.

Oh, AssMan, or anyone else who knows, any word on fan translations of the rest of the Mother series?

There was this game black in the day where one player was a helicopter and the other was a tank. Can't for the life of me remember the title. A little help please?

Battletoads.

Nice torrent

K, so I've played like 90% of the games mentioned before and I was kinda surprised to not see classics like Ski or Die and River City Ransom in there.

That's where I got all of my roms at. I just copied the entire rom folders over, so I'm going to use these suggestions too.

Get Ski or Die and River City Ransom. Also, Bad Dudes.

And Burger Time.

Mother 3 patch is out and fully translated. www.starmen.net for all your needs there. Got a good deal into that, a bit different from the first 2 but it sitll has that same quirkiness to it. I actually have a copy of Mother 2 on Super Famicom :o

Jackal? Dunno

Mega Man 7 was on Super Nintendo. Weird note there, they made 1-6, then X, THEN 7, then 8 on fucking Playstation or something. Then they finally made 9 last year

A lot of people seem to love Kid Icarus, I fucking hate the game but check it out if you want

Nah, Kid Icarus is endless, mindless and has grating music.

I love Skate or Die 2 and I probably shouldn't. Never did beat the last level. Giant damn maze.

Just patched Mother 3 and am now loading all these bad boys on to my CycloDS right now. 100 NES roms all portable now. Fucking crazy.

Skate or Die
Back To The Future
Mega Man
Mario
whatever

My favourite - Eliminator Boat Duel
Noone knows about this game but its AWESOME. Seriously try it.

Back to the Future is one of the worst games of all time, I only bought it because it bore the name Back to the Future. All you do is walk through some weird ass town which is sposto be Hill Valley and shoot bowling balls at hula hoop girls and these fucking killer bees are out to get you. Then you throw milkshakes at bullies and try to win Loraine heart and play some bootleg version of Johnny B. Goode and you get one chance to send Marty back to 1985 and you will probably fuck that up and if you do then you start from the beginning of the game. This game is probably hurts your left hand more than any game in history

Blades of Steel, come on now.

Mega Man 2
Mega Man 3
Mega Man 4
Mega Man 5
Mega Man 6
River City Ransom
Double Dragon
Double Dragon 2
Duck Tales
Super Mario Bros
Super Mario Bros 2
Super Mario Bros 3
Power Blade

Seriously try it out.

Aside from those listed...

Snow Brothers
Micro Machines
Metal Gear 1 and 2 if you're a fan of the MGS series (I've heard 2 is the better one but I haven't played it)
Rockin' Kats
Ghosts n' Goblins

Zombie Nation, that's the one where you fly around as a giant zombie head and blow up the buildings, not to be confused with the song that's played at every hockey game in the world

Blaster Master duh

lol Bad Dudes is like Double Dragon but a lot easier. I loved it.

yea, Bubble Bobble and Paperboy are other favs of mine

I will never play Bubble Bobble again ever. I actually beat the game on an arcade machine 10 years ago. Have never been able to play it since.

Noh Bubble Bobble is amazing. Dunno why I didn't post it on my list. And that sequel Rainbow Silkroad or something. Bubble Bobble 2.

Bad Dudes is like Double Dragon except it blinks like a mother fucker, isn't nearly as fun, and there isn't a real 2 player mode unlike Double Dragon 2 and 3.

It's worth one play through.
