I honestly can live without those, except maybe I'd like to have MB and Ice Climber, since they're arcade games and score-based.
I'd need to try to get DK Jr and DK3 next time I play the game.... it's been a while though, because my Wii can't play discs anymore.
The fun about playing these games for me is that you could play in short bursts (even though sometimes I'd spend hours too), while doing other stuff in AC, and the score saving was a huge incentive to go back and keep playing.
Pic related was my best score on Balloon Trip.

Would you guys do MK64? I can post my best times later.
Also pic related is my best score in Balloon Trip (not Balloon Fight, but the Trip mode).

Yeah, it was developed by Iwata, who also did the NES joust as you said.
Admittedly I played Balloon Trip mor than the main game, so I might be biased because of that.

I do, pic related is my score in Balloon Trip.

IIRC, Iwata worked on the Famicom port of Joust, so he just decided to make a different game using the same engine he coded. To be honest, Balloon Fight is not really a total clone of Joust, but yeah you can tell it's based on it.
Here's my top score for Balloon Trip if anyone wanna try beating it. It's not that high anyway but took me many tries.

And this is from Balloon Trip mode on Balloon Fight.

My top score in Balloon Trip.

My top score on Balloon Trip if anyone wants to try a challenge

Last year we had a thread here on /vr/ where we played Balloon Fight and tried to do Iwata's challenge on Balloon Trip, that is, get 20 balloons in a row until they change color.

Here's the video from GCCX

alright, nice, here's my Balloon Trip score, I forgot to stamp it but whatever.

Also I was playing the arcade version of DK (on DK64), not the NES one.
