Favorite Nintendo Game

[WillyBrandt]

Rule: It must be an 8-bit NES Game.

(Please try to include a game besides the Zelda games, Super Mario Bros., or Duck Hunt.)

My absolute favorite game: Bionic Commando

Hardly anyone has heard of this game, but it's by far the best I've ever played.

1. Oooh...a thread I love!

My favorite NES game:

Super Mario Bros. 3!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comes in a very close second...

[ComerPerro]

4. Welcome to DU, and great choices

Last summer my brother and I fired up the NES, and played the TMNT Arcade Game. We took a shot every time we beat a level (a boss).

Holy shit we were trashed....

Great game

[Marius]

15. I forgot Metroid!

D'oh!

[ComerPerro]

2. What? Are you kidding? Mario Bros 3

3. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out

Word.

[Tredge]

25. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out

My God I must've studied that game magazine for hours. I defeated all challengers. I shook up Soda Popinski. Super Macho Man fell in my wake. But when I fought Mike Tyson I had to get technical, and finally I was able to muster all the strength at my command. I finally defeated him, after re-training my brain to send a twitchy signal to my thumbs when his avatar flashed like lightning. I swerved! I ducked! I dodged! And most of all I punched, and after it was all over I decided I should've spent more time playing Legend of Zelda II.

5. Super Mario 3 and Tetris.

Back in the day, I was a Tetris fiend...I'd see phantom Tetris blocks scrolling down the backs of my eyelids when I went to sleep. Heh.

[dad]

6. TECMO BOWL

Tecmo ... still the best video game ever :D

[FDRrocks]

7. Zelda

The 1st period. 2nd: Little Nemo

[FDRrocks]

8. Zelda

The 1st period. 2nd: Little Nemo

[Marius]

9. Zelda One or Two?

I like two better than one. I could never beat the first Zelda game.

[FDRrocks]

13. i could never beat the second

The first is what I meant, I despise the second :)

[Forkboy]

10. River City Ransom for NES

Chrono Trigger on the SNES

[jpgray]

16. Very good picks.

Something strangely intoxicating about beating six high schoolers to death with a metal trashcan and then happily chowing down on sushi you've bought with the money that appears in place of their rapidly decomposing bodies. :D

[Forkboy]

17. lol

you make it sound so evil :D

[camero]

11. Joust

and Super Mario 3

[jpgray]

12. Metroid. Also Ghosts 'n' Goblins

First game I really got sucked into as a kid. The Mario and Zelda games, as people mentioned, are also great.

As for Ghosts 'n' Goblins, if you can beat that (which mens beat it TWICE), you are truly a godlike arcade gamer.

[ott]

14. Final Fantasy 1

River City Ransom was cool, there was also a dodge ball made by the same people.

Xenophobe, Contra, Dragon Warrior, Punch-Out, Balloon Fight, Kirby.

[theoceansnerves]

18. oh man !

i saw the title of this thread and immediately thought to myself "bionic commando" (before clicking!)

also, castlevania 2 and cobra triangle were really good

[fujiyama]

19. Bionic Commando...

has one of the catchiest tunes to it. I still get it stuck in my head once in a while!

tnmt: arcade game

star tropics

[HornBuckler]

20. Metroid - Mike Tyson's Punch-Out

Are Definately My Two All Time Favs!

EDIT
Wizards And Warriors Is Pretty Cool Too!

Edit Again!
Hogan;s Alley And Bayou BillY!

I Love The NES

[U2Fanatic]

21. Mario 3

[HornBuckler]

22. Holy Crap! I Forgot CASTLEVANIA!

Love That One Too! Your Question Is Far Too Hard To Answer Definitively! EDIT Oh And Rampart - Jesus So MANY!

[Borgnine]

23. Super Mario Bros. 2

Yeah, that's right... Super Mario Bros. 2. Even though it wasn't a real Mario game (they took some funky middle-eastern game named Doki Doki Panic, put Mario characters in it, and sold it in the U.S. as Mario 2) it's still my favorite. I just love the "Arabian dream" design throughout the game, plus it was the first game to have a difference between Mario and Luigi, and have the Princess and Toad as playable characters.

Runner up would be The Legend of Zelda. My friends and I used to spend countless summer mornings playing that damn game. Oh, and how could I forget about the Power Pad and the Track and Field game that came with it? Hey, it was exercise for young video game junkies!

[Cadfael]

26. Starfox

Zaxxon was pretty cool too

[gulfcoastliberal]

31. BUZZER - Starfox is a 16-bit SNES Game

But I share the passion of the Starfox. Absolutely an amazing game and still great fun to play today.

[LWolf]

27. My favorite Nintendo game is

the one where you grab the game and all it's pieces of paraphernalia, take it outside, set it on the driveway, and pound it to pieces with a hammer, then dump the pieces in the garbage. I get a thrill out of conquering the game every time!

[Nlighten1]

28. Dragon Warrior 3!

It was teh best!

[BlackVelvetElvis]

29. Pinbot

I still have the original NES system and about 20 games in the original boxes. Still fun to play too.

[kiahzero]

30. FF, Dragon Warrior series, and Mega Man series

Mega Man is, well, the man!

[Colin Ex]

32. Lots of good picks here.

Allow me to nominate Solstice and StarTropics.

[THUNDER HANDS]

33. Tetris

Geez, this is like, the ultimate nerd game.

I always used to get to 200 lines before it fell apart for me.
