Contra. Use the code and you can finish it. I run through it regularly with a 4 year old.
Bubble Bobble. I play it with my wife. It's cute (so she'll like it) and still really fun.

Very awesome I'll have to put on some bobble I got it so I'll see. I played contra and it was hard on arcade but I'll see about this code.

Goof Troop on SNES is always a good time.

If you have a PS3, go with LittleBigPlanet, it's super cute and she could like it.

I definitely second little big planet. Those games are great co-op. The lego games also come to mind. Also, Mario Party. I'm really drawing a blank on older games. Golf on NES is surprisingly fun to play competitive.

My lady friend and I played through resident evil 5 and 6 together, but that would depend on your lady friend's tastes.

A few off the top of my head:

NES:
-Bubble Bobble
-Captain America and the Avengers (completely different game from the SNES/Genesis version)
-Contra
-Double Dragon 1-3
-Dr. Mario
-Pin-Bot
-R.C. Pro-Am
-Super Mario Bros. 1 & 3 (2 is only 1-player, but you could still take turns on levels, I suppose. Even then, SMB 1 & 3 aren't 2-player at the same time, it's 2-player on turns)
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 & 3

SNES:
-Captain America and the Avengers (completely different game from the NES version)
-Contra III: The Alien Wars
-Final Fight 2 & 3
-Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
-Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie
-Separation Anxiety (Spider-Man & Venom)
-Super Mario Kart
-Super Mario World
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles In Time

I'm fairly certain that Secret Of Mana and Secret Of Evermore could be played 2-player.  If memory still serves me correctly, I used to play Secret Of Mana with a friend.  I was the human male and he would play either of the others.  Also, The Uncanny X-Men is also two-player, right?

I also second with scott and be the third supporter with scott & bobster on their recommendations.

As in the NES one? Yeah. But who in the world wants to play that game?

I am thinking secret of mana and tmnt Manhattan. I would zombies ate my neighbors but that gets repetitive after a little while we are playing Mario 3 since that's what I used to. I'll have to look into little big planet my bros girl liked that. Rampage ain't to bad either but repetitive.

Secret of Mana is fun 2 or 3 player. But man the game can be super cheap and evil to new players.

I had my GF play it with me when I bought it last year and she died constantly because got in the way of werewolves that just juggled the hell out of her cause she was next to a wall.

Final Fantasy III (SNES) is multiplayer capable too, if you go into the options menu after the game starts.

Wait, what?! I had no clue! I know what I'm doing with my girlfriend soon! Once she beats 5 I think.

Ya, you can set it to multiple game pads and you can split it up anyway you want. When I did it I gave the GF one person to control and I took the other 3.

Ooh...  Another game I enjoyed playing with my best friend from childhood was Chip 'N' Dale: Rescue Rangers.  I loved playing as Dale and I always threw Chip away, whether it's to reach a faraway platform or just for fun.

Did I mention it's REALLY fun throwing Chip?

I second this!  Rescue Rangers is one of the best multiplayer games ever.

For my wife to be interested to play a game with me, the game should not be too hard, control easy to learn and the most important: CUTE and COLORFUL graphic.

What I suggest;
SNES: Pocky & Rocky 1 and 2, Secret of Mana, Legend of Mystical Ninja
NES: Bubble Bobble, Snow Bros
All the Metal Slug
All the Mario Kart
For more recent games with a "retro feeling", go with Rayman Origins, Rayman Legend, Donkey Kong Country Return, New Super Mario Bros.
