This is the best videogame
I have ever played!
The Nintendo Entertainment System™ is an 8-bit home videogame console created by Nintendo in the 1980s. Since its inception, all subsequent game systems have been laughably inferior.


It is home to a myriad of videogame entertainment classics, including:


Super Mario Bros 3






Randoms such as:

Eliminator Boat Duel






Mr Gimmick





Bad games!:





and of course the exalted Wrecking Crew (all hail!)





Post cool things about the NES, dammit! :mario:

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I beat both Mario is Missing and Mario's Time Machine when I was a kid and they really weren't that bad.

Maniac Mansion was good and River City Ransom was awesome

The Carmen Sandiego game came with a mini encyclopedia

Skate or Die had insanely bad controls but the half pipe in Skate or Die 2 was pretty sweet

Bayou Billy is impossible even with the game genie

I'll think of some more

NES Memories

My family was pretty poor growing up, and my dad got us a Nintendo for Christmas one year. It was amazing to me and my brother cause we never thought we would ever be able to have one.
We never really got new games for the system, so we used to just borrow games from other kids around the neighborhood.
I remember one day my dad picked me up around the corner at a friends house and told me we could go buy a game, and naturally I was through the roof cause I'd never been able to pick out my own game before.
Well, I got the game and also got told by my pops that him and my mom were getting a divorce. To make matters worse, the game I picked out was goddamn Ninja Kid.

I still have that cartridge to remind me that life is a fuckin bitch.

honestly the NES could have just had Super Mario Bros 3 and it would've been worth the price.

people would be like, "where the other two?" though.

I think it just depends. people have nostalgia for the NES Mega Man games, Castlevania, Metroid, Double Dragon, Final Fantasy. Those games didn't age well and are hard and frustrating as gently caress.

Most shooters hold up great. Gun Nac, Gradius, Life Force etc. puzzle games like Dr. Mario. and the good platformers like SMB3, Kirby's Adventure and Ducktales.

nah nes games aged fine for the most part. there are exceptions, like og metroid, but there are lots of people getting into nes now who were not alive when the thing was current and still love it. poo poo i am a snes kid and didn't own an nes until 2008, i still think it owns.

I feel like Mega Man 3 holds up quite well (with exception to the convoluted menu system), playing through it again atm.


It's real challenging, that's for sure. I like how it makes you learn the levels and predict the upcoming enemy's attacks.

i played castlevania for the very first time this year, having never played any of them at all, and it is a pretty good game. it does have some bullshit difficulty moments thanks to the knockback, but it controls well and it is satisfying as gently caress to kill things with your whip. and the soundtrack is rad.

i've still never played any megaman though, kinda want to but those games are expensive as gently caress these days.

I don't know man, the games you mentioned are really tough but I'd still say they've aged well... uhh, maybe not the first final fantasy, but the rest of them.

Might just be me because I really can't play it anymore. And yep it's totally the anger from the knockback. Maybe I'm getting old.

But none of them were awesome until Castlevania IV (still has knockback I think) but owns so goddamn much to this day it is forgiven. Hot take here it's better than Symphony of the Night.

Simon's Quest was the best Castlevania on NES. The GBA and DS Castlevania's were the best though.
