NES Favorite NES/Famicom Game(s)?

[diet_orange]

I just can't, the closest thing is I could provide a list of every NES and Famicom game that are all good enough to be my favorite. It's a tie between several hundreds.

Same, there's such a wealth of great content on the NES/Famicom for everybody to find at least something to enjoy. Same goes for the Genesis/Mega-Drive and SNES in my opinion

These are my top 10, off the top of my head at least:

Here I leave other games that I also love

 

[Facesforce]

There is only one NES game here that will always be on my number one for all time:

It was a port of Sid Mier's Pirates for the nes, and my god was it amazing. Even now, I am blown away at the scope of this game, the ambition.

It's basically broken into three different modes of gameplay. You sail arround, fighting other ships, you can launch land battles to take towns, or just go about trading.

It's really in a league of it's own for the feeling of freedom this little nes game has. I revisit it on my miyoo occasionally, as it's just one of those games that will never stop being good.

having played it when it was released it was ground breaking stuff maaaan.

 

[Turbo Kid]

Simon's Quest and Zelda II live on in this awesome game

 

[Yousef Yousef]

Oh this is pretty simple.

• Ninja Gaiden
• Castlevania
• Contra
• Ducktales
• Dragon Warrior III

I’ll also need to beat crystalis.

 

[Michael Frank]

Super C and Castlevania 3

Felix The Cat

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

I just LOOOOOOOOOVE Battle City on Famicom.

My sister and I went at it for literal hours whenever we got bored of getting killed on SMB and didn't really feel like battling on Urban Champion.

 

[OrionP]

Love loads of NES games but the first that springs to mind is Bionic Commando.

I find this game super satisfying to play and has quite a high skill requirement. Watching top players is amazing.

 

[Ikagura]

Can I cheat and say one NES and one Famicom game?

Kirby and Samurai Pizza Cat, both late in the console's life.

 

[freakinrad]

I tried to narrow it down to a top 5 (in no particular order):

 

[Deleted member 598440]

Little Nemo

 

[030079AR]

Bucky o'hare
Ninja gaiden 2
Rockman 4
Rockman 1
Zelda 1 and 2
Mighty final fight
Mashin eiyuuden wataru
...
.. too many xD

 

[solnK!]

Punch Out and the Dragon Quest and Megaman games

Kirby and Samurai Pizza Cat, both late in the console's life.

It's still a bit weird to me that it took Kirby coming over the the NES/Famicom for him to get his copy ability

It's even weirder that the snes was already 3 years old when it came out.

I was barely cognizant when it came out (roughly 3/4) but the NES was still popular around that time from what I gather and the Top Loader had just been released. So I think both Kirby's Adventure and Zoda's Revenge: Star Tropics 2 were the last great hurrahs for the system. You also can beat getting a console for 50 bux

I guess it's just weird looking at it through a modern lens. Setting out to develop and release a new kirby game for the original switch now for example would seem like pretty weird move even if it is still a popular system.
