The Top 66 NES games!

[Goemar]

Good call, played quite a lot of that during the Dreamcast days.

oh. hope you don't miss those savestate slots lol (that's where all the storage for those extra games are going)

First thing I did when I hacked the system was remove Punch-Out!! and replace it with the Mike Tyson one. That was a very, very good decision imo





also, Rescue Rangers is a good idea if you have friends. If you don't, then you could probably skip it
and if you're really strapped for space, the first TMNT game isn't all that great. consider replacing it with, oh i don't know

baby metroidvania with ridiculous spritework


also, i feel like monster party should be on the list, too, because, i mean, besides being piss hard, y'know, it's great playing around friends, or having them play and gauging their reactions

Ufouria wouldn't work as it's PAL, so would have to be Hebereke - which is a great game and a translation patch probably exist.

Very heavily considered it before, though I have played it a LOT so I'm not sure how tempted I'd be to revisit it.

The first TMNT was the first NES game I owned (and completed) so it's more there for nostalgia sake then for actually being a good game.

66 titles were chosen as it gives 2 savestates per game (with all original titles 'hidden').

As for Monster Party - I really don't get that game, it's pretty terrible...

You totally can't forget about River City Ransom. Best beat em up on the NES imo.

Zelda 2 also gets a lot of crap, but I think it's a pretty great platformer all things considered.

I do see Castlevania 3 on the list, but I feel inclined to mention the Japanese version Akumajō Densetsu 3. It has better music and some differences in gameplay that make it the superior version.

Have played River City Ransom to death (I recall the GBA version being pretty good as well, though might have been a crazy dream...) so, probably not...

I'm not going to lie, I have never played Castlevania III - not even sure it had a UK release. If it has no in-game text of any importance I'll look into the Japanese one.

Not a fan of Zelda 2 - honestly think it deserves to get more shit, it's just not a good game.
