Good NES games Anonymous Fri Jul 26 07:17:39 2013 No.938225 [Reply] [Original]

Didn't own a lot of NES games as a kid so I've decided to make up for it by playing them now.

So what are some good (also lesser known) NES games?

Check thist list
http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com/wiki/NES

I had added screenshots to 98% of the games in this list but the idiots running the site decided to take them out even though it totally made it easier to search and get an idea of what the games were like.

Anyway - if you like Shatterhand (one of my favourites) check out Zen The Intergalactic Ninja it's very unknown and rather hard but it's fantastic.

For action games I also recommend Shadow Of The Ninja, Batman, Journey To Silius, Metalstorm

for platformers : Mr Gimmick

That page is already bloated as is. And to be fair, they've suffered from vandalsim from both 4chan and Reddit in the past.

>>	Specter Fri Jul 26 09:29:40 2013 No.938398 With help of kind Anons, I made a list of underrated platformers http://pastebin.com/RxarJwWC While it also has other consoles listed, the NES category is the longest one. Hope you'll find something good.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 26 09:30:10 2013 No.938403 Nightshade its a great lesser known game. It's like one of those point and click adventure games. and when you get into a battle it turns into a fighting game. it's pretty tough.

I am so sick of hearing about Mr. Bandwagon Bullshit. It's a completely average platformer, stop sucking Arino's miniscule Japanese penis. And that also goes for all you Boobyhara fans.

Anonymous Fri Jul 26 10:33:10 2013 No.938495

Vice: Project Doom
Shatterhand
Kabuki- Quantum Fighter
Batman
Gun Nac
Zanac
Legacy of the Wizard
Crisis Force
Maniac Mansion
TMNT 2 and 3 (not obscure, but in my experience people either just shit on the first game or praise the fourth and neglect these two very good games, especially the third one)

and yes I would also recommend Mr. Gimmick tyvm
actual overrated recommendations you might see: Metal Storm, Journey to Silius

NESfag Fri Jul 26 10:38:40 2013 No.938501

If you like puzzle games like Fire'n'Ice and Lolo Adventure, check out Moai Kun on FAMICOM.

>>938412
Kickmaster is a great action paltformer indeed!

>>938410
I've noticed that the people saying "stop sucking [reviewer name]'s cock" whenever you mention a game actually ARE the people who found out about the said game through the reviewers.
Why does it keep getting mentionned? Because for the longest time it was a very unknown game, because it's technically speaking impressive, and most importantly, because it's really fun.

>>938396
You don't understand. I added those screenshots back when the wiki got created, while also adding at least 1/3rd of the game and creating the famicom and romhacks sections (which would need updating really but considering they deleted most of my work I won't bother contributing again). The creators back then said the screenshots were a great idea and contribution back then; but now years later they decided to take them out for whatever reasons.

>bloated
that's exactly why screenshots were really useful to get a quicker better idea of what the games were like; because the NES has so many good games it helped a lot; or if you remembered a game but didn't remember the name you could quickly scroll and find it.

>actual overrated recommendations you might see: Metal Storm, Journey to Silius

Opinions man. Journey To Silius is one of my favourite NES game although I can see its flaws and why people would think it's overrated.
I like it so much I own both the NTSC-U and FAMICOM versions CIB as well as an old bootleg cart of it as well as the first very rare romhack of it which was only released on cart and only about 10-20 carts of it were made. pic related

so that's why I always mention it, I have full Silius OCD

Fun co-op top-down shooter. It's short and not difficult, but it's a fun hour-or-so of gameplay, especially with a friend.

And it has Che Guevara and Fidel Castro as your protagonists.

Sweet Home.
Survival horror title that Capcom put out in 1989.
Started playing it last night and I'm just fucking loving it, it's got so much going for it considering how old it is.
Think all the defining Resident Evil elements (clearly drawn from this game, right down to the door opening sequence) with some RPG elements thrown in.
