I struggle to even come up with 10 games. There's some obvious 'good' ones that I haven't really played very much of, like Kirby which I would probably like more if I got into it.

Final Fantasy 3
Super Mario Bros. 3
Gimmick!
Mario Bros.
Super Bat Puncher
Rogue Dawn

In no particular order, just as they pop into my head:
Metroid
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3
Kirby's Adventure
The Legend of Zelda
Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle
Mega Man 2
Mega Man 3
Tetris

10 just isn't enough to include any unexpected picks, mostly just the prerequisite classics. So here are my runner ups/11-15 if this was a top 15 list:
Duck Hunt
Barker Bill's Trick Shooting
Astyanax
Gyromite
Bubble Bobble

God, there's just so many great NES games! I probably could keep going all the way to 50 at least.
