>only change I'd make would be to remove bionic command to add jackal.

Done.

Moved Ninja Gaiden to obvious. Added some other stuff.

>>712860

Good idea.

Now the process of elimination can begin. Hopefully, by adding and removing games one at a time, we can converge on the 50 best NES games ever (not including the obvious stuff).

We have reached our 50 game limit. From now on, if there's a game you want on the list, you must remove another that's already there.

I think we should discuss what to do about arcade ports. List them with an asterisk? Don't list them at all?

>>712802

Gotta draw the line somewhere.

What I have so far.

Which TMNT games are actually good on the NES?

We are doing NES right now, guys.

Fuck it, just start nominating essential NES games, and we'll whittle it down.

The theme I was using didn't have a "Contributions" button. Silly.

I must be retarded, because I can't figure out how to use this. There is no option to create a new page.

Turns out I have no idea how to use wikia.

vrsessential.wikia.com

That's the point, though. By limiting the number of games, we eliminate that problem. No game is going to be on the list unless it has majority support from us.

What should we do about arcade ports? Should we include them, even if they are inferior to the arcade originals? Or should we only list the best version of a game?

The important point is to list all the games that shouldn't be included, for one reason or another.

I'm going to start a Wikia page. What should the thing be called?

>>712416

That's what we're doing right now.

Give me a list of every NES game a casual browser already knows about.

Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3
Duck Hunt
????

>babby's first NES

That's not what this is going to be. We're ignoring all the obvious staples and instead only listing the /vr/ essentials. A small list of relatively lesser-known games that everyone should play.

Maybe people could get this info from Google, but the point is that they don't. They come here.

>>712369

I definitely agree with this, and it's just another reason for a shorter list.

>>712354

>why are you guys against discovering good games on the NES?

The point is not to create some unwieldy list of every game that one anon happened to like. By limiting the number of games, it ensures that only the essentials get listed. If someone comes here looking for NES recommendations, they're not going to want to wade through a list of 400 games.

This thread was more about determining how many games should be on each list, not deciding which games go on the list. Not yet at least.
