None of the original NES games are good

>Zelda 2
>Final Fantasy
>Mario 3

>>714145071 (OP)
bionic commando, punch out, and castlevania are my favorites

>>714145071 (OP)
Earthbound was amazing and is actually still playable just because it's more about the story than the gameplay. Might have been SNES, can't remember.

>>714145153
>>714145475
>t. 40+
I'll give you mario 3 though, that one escaped my mind

>>714145586
earthbound was SNES, you're right it was really kickass

NES games are good. SNES and later systems have improved gameplay, graphics, and controls, and have aged better.

>>714145698
i think he means earthbound beginnings

Faggot OP hasn't played Gimmick

>>714145703
>NES games are good
for the most part, I disagree with a handful of exceptions, see mario 3
>later consoles better
I would sure hope they are

>>714145071 (OP)
Most super old games are genuine shit and the systems crashed frequently

I enjoy Nightmare on Elm Street on the NES, I did not however enjoy Friday The 13th. I can't wait until they make an AI driven, plug and play, second player for old games so I can have someone to couch co-op old stuff with.

>>714145789
be that as it may, it wasn't released in the US until 2015 on virtual console

>>714145071 (OP)
Shitty bait thread. If you're young enough to be filtered by Gameboy/NES games, you're too young to post here. Seriously, every zoomer grew up with a GBA or a DS.

Ninja Gaiden still rocks.

>>714145870
the NES was relatively stable, it just ran like shit with the slowdown and sprites and whatnot

>>714145071 (OP)
Mario 3, Kirby's Adventure, and Kid Dracula are all good.

>>714145972
name an NES game that wasn't blown way the fuck out of the water by the SNES counterpart
>metroid/super metroid
>super mario bros/super mario world
>castlevania vs super castlevania 4

Ninja Gaiden, Duck Tales and, Contra

>>714146076
I think my NES probably froze up less than my Genesis, but both were fucking terrible. I remember a lot of times I'd be an hour into a game only for it to freeze with ear raping audio.
Gaming back in the day wasn't great. Pre Win95 also sucked hot dogshit. Even in the mid 2000s things fucking sucked. I had to disable all AV and disconnect from the internet to play Morrowind without issue and even then saving often was a must because it was unstable.

>>714146017
he couldn't vore enemies until gameboy

>>714146196
World isn't superior to Mario 3, in fact sometimes you can see 3 vs World threads
Also there isn't another Zelda game like 2

>>714146073
it's not bad, but do you also like sitting on your balls and having to fart them out later in the ER in unimaginable pain?

>>714145071 (OP)
Super Mario Bros. 3, Mega Man 2-6, Crystalis

>>714146196
Even if I granted you that, it doesn't make the NES games bad. Might as well say Gran Turismo 2 sucks because 3 exists. Just a really gay opinion honestly.

>>714146245
wrong, retard.

>>714146303
>World isn't superior to Mario 3, in fact sometimes you can see 3 vs World threads

>>714146089
>Kid Dracula
the splatterhouse naughty graffiti game is a way better parody spinoff, and really the only good splatterhouse game
>>714146203
>Duck Tales
I prefer darkwing duck

>>714145071 (OP)
The OP image you based your thread off of is wrong, Zelda 1 is in fact a good game. One of my favorites in fact.

NES games havent aged well because the generation that followed it was good
PS2 games have aged well because the generations that followed it suck

OP here.
It's because they're great.
Not just good.
That is all :)

>>714146245
1. Gameboy was his first game
2. He could eat enemies from his first appearance
He couldn't gain abilities in the Gameboy game, but he could in the NES game.

>>714146710
I saw right through your game, gz on the successful NES thread outside of /vr/

What was that boderline experimental game that was like a bullet hell/ ARPG/ magical girl hybrid?

>>714145071 (OP)
Castlevania 3 is objectively great.

>>714145071 (OP)
They're still good if you can go from the mindset that they're games to be "completed" to games that need to be mastered

>>714145071 (OP)
I beat Zelda 1 just last year and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Some other games that are still great today:
Contra
Super C
Battletoads
Super Mario Bros 1, 2J, and 3
Salamander
Gradius 1 and 2
Kirby's Adventure
Punch-Out
Dragon Quest 4
Ninja Gaiden 1-3
Classicvania 1 and 3
Klax
Tetris
Mega Man 1-6
Gradius 1+2
Zanac and Gun Nac
Ducktales
Cobra Triangle
Blaster Master
Gimmick
Gun.Smoke
Little Samson
Marble Madness

>>714145071 (OP)
Clash at Demonhead
Faxanadu
Dr. Mario
Ultima

NES has more good games than N64 or GCN.

I loved legend of kage

>>714147216
The Gamecube had tons of shit, but by that time a lot of it was competent shit. Polished turds instead of spite sheet or 15fps turds.

>>714146196
Metroid, mega man, castlevania 1/3 were all better on the nes.

>>714147805
excellent bait sir

Megaman was never truly good until X and that isn't bait

>>714148098
> that isn't bait
it is

>>714145071 (OP)
I thought Ice Climber was good

>>714148138
Story, styling, music, the abilities. None of the games were truly great until the first Megaman X

>>714146942
SM 3 I'll give you, and I loved battle toads on the 360, otherwise, you're wrong

>>714145071 (OP)

>t. wizard

>>714148430
I believe this wizard

mogged hard by the master system

phantasy star
shinobi
alex kidd
castle of illusion
golden axe
wonder boy

& msx

I feel like video games around 1986 really hit a breakthrough all around. That's when they started feeling like actual games instead of moving a little pixel guy around aimlessly with no real objective other than getting a high score. Even Mario 1 feels very basic and suddenly out comes games like Zelda and Metroid which hold up really well.

>>714145872
Get a friend faggot

>>714148528
they did, but as much as it was just video games getting their footing so to speak, they had enough footing to be better than they were in my mind

>>714148098
Mega Man peaked at 2 and was all downhill from there.

>>714148430

>>714148570
I'm trying to Anon. I think that the computers are nicer to talk to than people, and I want to see that carry over to playing video games.

Bullshit

>>714149008
>the chatbot of this decade is good this time
You might as well be talking to a bot in AIM in 2002

>>714149246
I would be fine talking to a calculator as long as it was nice when it responded. I don't understand the hostility.

>>714149415
You are engaging in silly behavior and people will rightfully point out its silliness

>>714145071 (OP)
The industry still re-releases Track & Field every 4 years with a new coat of paint. Two button games are timeless and fundamental.

All I can think about these days when thinking about the NES is how in Japan with the Famicom that Hudson dominated the school kid opinion so well that they made the PC Engine and won that Gen in Japan.
Games like Adventure Island, Lode Runner, Tengai Makiyo, Bomberman, Challenger, Star Force, Milon's Secret Castle, Momotaro Densetsu, etc. All seems to have dominated the conversation among school kids in Japan (key words) more than Zelda or Mario did.

Hell, they used to make fan videos to promote their stuff and make full on movies featuring Hudson characters.
https://youtu.be/6gO26uFuahs?si=_9DDXdFGzaHZoT7f
And even had fan fests and tournaments. Then it all came crumbling down when their followups after the PC Engine died and they merged with Konami who's done jack shit with them. Relic now of the Heisei Era.

>>714149526
I don't understand why it's "silly". I have searched high and low, no flesh and blood person within a reasonable distance wants to come over and play video games from the 80's. They all just want to play "Fortnite" over "Discord". The computers however, they're down for anything.

>>714149814
Simulacra of a thing while rejecting the actual thing
You know it isn't real, so at some level you know you are lying to yourself, and that is self abuse. Of course an outside observer would criticize.

>parents buy your bro all the cool games
>buy you nothing but Zelda titles until your 16

>>714145071 (OP)
We know you're shitposting. Coz there are at least 20 games on there that are still worth playing today.

Mario 3 for example still hasn't been surpassed.

>>714150189
>rejecting the actual thing
The "real thing" doesn't exist Anon, I've looked for it, and it's not real anymore. I work a job, I'm jovial and get along well with my coworkers, and they don't want to come over and play vidya - I've asked. I've searched online as well, no one. AGI soon, not sure when, but soon - and when, I'll finally have a friend to play old vidya with.

Heard Star Tropics was good

>>714145071 (OP)
imma be fucking real here, but Punch Out on NES is better then SNES Punch Out.
Also wanna shout out to Ninja Gaiden 1, Dragon Quest 3, Metal Slader Glory, Lagrange Point, Batman, and Mother Fucking Tetris

>>714145071 (OP)
Very few NES games actually hold up well and are an acquired taste. The same can be said of Atari games but it's less controversial because Nintendo fanboys expect you to suck Nintendo's dick no matter how old and outdated the game is.

>>714155863
The best 2600 game is Adventure or Pitfall
But Atari's best at the time was arcades like Tempest, Major Havoc, & Crystal Castles

>>714145071 (OP)
I enjoy more NES games than I do N64. I hate early 3d so much

>>714145071 (OP)
Platformers: the console, I like the system but if you don't like your megamans and castlevanias and mario 3 then I can see why someone would not care.

>>714145071 (OP)
Zelda 2 is good.
>it's too hard!
get good

There are some exceptions, but I don't think games got really good until they were 3D. I grew up with an NES and SNES, but I never beat anything on it. It wasn't until the PS1 and N64 that I really started to like video games.

>>714145071 (OP)
>megaman anything past 2
you didn't play them,

>>714156701

>>714156829
I'd rather play the bottom games.
I find them to be more fun.

>>714145071 (OP)
*blocks you're path*

>>714145071 (OP)
I agree that Zelda 1 sucks but there are still bunch of good games on the console.

>>714145071 (OP)
Metal Max.

The NES is the ultimate test on whether you're a true gamer. If you don't like the NES, then you don't like video games, period.

>>714146245
What an odd thing to say

>>714157098
yes

>>714145071 (OP)
Original LoZ would have been more tolerable if Link controlled as in the gameboy games, his movement like he has a stick up his ass sucks

>>714145071 (OP)
>Faxanadu
>Bubble Bobble
>Mario 3
Easy

I played The Legend of Zelda this May and it's an excellent game. I can understand zoomers not appreciating the idea of having to take notes and drawing your own maps and plans, of course.

I don't even like Nintendo, but you'd have to be retarded to claim the NES wasn't a great console where 2D platforming peaked
