Latest “Top 10 NES games” is pretty good

Mario 3 appropriately takes the top spot. And there are a couple of surprises. But a part of me died inside not seeing either Punch-Out or Kirby’s Adventure make the list. Bastards!

  1. Kinda stupid, though, that the screenshot for Super Mario Bros. 3 they use in this list is actually a shot of the Super Mario All-Stars version and NOT the actual NES title. The list is definitely flawed with the exclusion of Kirby's Adventure, Tetris, Contra, and possibly RC Pro-Am. I'm far less inclined to include Ninja Gaiden, Guardian Legend, Dragon Warrior III, and Zelda II in such a list.

    Personally:

    1. Super Mario Bros. 3
    2. The Legend of Zelda
    3. Super Mario Bros.
    4. Metroid
    5. Final Fantasy
    6. Kirby's Adventure
    7. Tetris
    8. Mega Man 2
    9. Contra
    10. Punch-Out!

  2. While Kirby is a great game, I never have like the level designs so much. I agree with most of this list, except for Ninja Gaiden and Guardian Legend. I think StarTropics and Tetris should have been included.

  3. I can't see the link. Can somebody please post it in a comment? Thanks.

    Probably won't match mine as I don't think I owned 10 games for my NES.

  4. Super Mario Bros? seriously, 2 mario games in a top 10 list, that's lame. They could of totally put in another great title.
