Shatterhand I think. Great music and pixelart. Lovely stuff!
Re: Favorite NES game
Been playing Shatterhand a lot lately, quickly became one of my favorite NES platformers. Still trying to figure out all the damn combinations for the upgrade weapons. I will also throw the amazing Dragon Fighter into the mix, wish I had those two as a kidErekT wrote:Shatterhand I think. Great music and pixelart. Lovely stuff!

The only NES Castlevania I played as a kid was 2, so it definitely has a special place in my heart. It's just frustrating how shitty some of the translation is :/elektriccobra wrote:Metroid. but given we are all here because of that game or the predecessors ill have to go with C2 Simon's Quest.
no.. make that 3 Dracula's Curse. -at lease that should win for music!
then again, in 4th grade i got the nintendo power featuring megaman 2. i fell in love.
nevermind, im goin with Metroid.
Mega Man 2 is definitely in my top 5 NES games.

Re: Favorite NES game
Way too many to count. If I had to narrow it down to just three, out of dozens, it'd be some combination of a Mega Man game (either 2 or 4), something by Natsume (Shatterhand), and something by Nintendo (either SMB3 or Kirby's Adventure).
EDIT - Eep, I just now noticed the last post date. If thread necroing is frowned upon here, apologies.

Re: Favorite NES game
My favorites are definitely Super Mario World and The Legend Of Zelda. But I found NES roms for free https://romsmania.com/roms/nintendo . It's emulator on PC. And very good, to be honest, I do not need a console, and the graphics are enough to enjoy the game.

Re: Favorite NES game
Zelda 2 is also my favorite. I thought the attack-block mechanic was really clever and fun, even if it often devolved into repeatedly attacking knights until the ai decided to not block it. Mostly I really liked the challenge compared to other Zelda games.
So many honorable mentions (including Astynax) but I won't post them all.
Instead I'll just mention Bionic Commando. The whole grappling hook thing was amazing and the first game I ever played that had one.
Another unpopular opinion here, but I just didn't like Metroid. Spent too much of the game getting stuck and shooting at every wall in sight. I am grateful to it for spawning modern (and SNES era obviously) metroidvanias, but I just couldn't get into the game itself. Kind of like original Star Trek. Old Castlevanias were great though.
edit: Oh and SMB2. I thought that game was amazing! Pick up enemies and throw them at each other! Play as Princess! I never did understand why it was essentially the least popular of the series.

Re: Favorite NES game
SMB2 and Bionic Commando were a couple of my childhood favorites. The slot machine in the tavern is inspired by the one in SMB2 if you didn't catch that yet. And I actually had a bionic style grappling hook in Chasm at one point, but it just didnt work that well.
