I often don't like to buy NES Nintendo Entertainment Systems games because of how unfair most of them are. I personally do like some of the sport games on the NES like "Blades Of Steel", "ice Hockey" "Double Dunk". But I really never was much into 2D platformers or really good at any shoot ups I also like "Legend Of Zelda" What are your thoughts? Do You Have Fun When Trying An NES Game For The First Time? |

I have a blast. It's what got me into Castlevania and made it my favorite game series. Nothing like the good ol' 3rd generation. |

The importance of the NES and several of its games cannot be overstated, however I feel like most of its current reputation and what fuels its diehard collectorism is nostalgia. I was born during the early years of the NES and was at least old enough to remember it when I was very young, but I never owned one until the late 90s after buying one at a garage sale along with some games. So as someone who has no nostalgia for it, I agree that various well known games on the console are fairly cheap, have poor gameplay, or some other flaw that many might give a pass due to their nostalgia goggles. I have my own nostalgia goggles that taint my opinions of various games and consoles as well though. For example I adore the N64 and the majority of its library, which is crazy talk to many, ironically a lot of NES/SNES diehards. This bias and sentimentality is something all retro video game collectors have, some of us just have them for different consoles. With that said, most of the must have NES games I think are okay to amazing. There are a handful that I think are broken pieces of crap, but I'd have a hard time picking out 10 of these games from a list of top 100 NES games. The NES is not my favorite Nintendo console, in fact it's probably one of my least favorite, but it's still a great console with a lot of great games and I certainly respect the importance of the NES to video gaming as a whole. |

Some games can be fun, but alot aren't. I'd probably say there are more games that have aged poorly than those that have aged well, as there were alot of issues with the old games from performance, bad design, design limitations, etc...In general I don't particularly love returning to NES era, which makes the current Switch Online service very annoying. |

I grew up with the NES, so it's one of the reasons I'm still an avid gamer. Though, I can't recall the last time I played an NES game. Most anything I've played from that era is a remake on the IOS, PSP, or GBA. I think bikingjahuty stated it the best. |
