Thanks EVERYONE for some crazy recommendations. I’m not even going to claim I’ve touched most of them. Actually I remembered I never touched Dr.Mario and I spend some time with that which was cool.
I’m intrigued by Base Wars for just be a crazy sports game. Faxandu seems like something worth checking out, but I think I might get wanderphobia, so I’ll see. Shatterhand looks cool. With a title like Street Fighter 2010, i’m in plus I recall some Mega ran song about it.
Not sure about stuff like Batman or Duck Tales, for me. I’m sure they’re great, but those have to contend with being properties that will evoke, why am I not playing something more modern symptoms I think? I know a lot of people love Mother, but I couldn’t’ stomach Earthbound so I doubt it’s predecessor would do much for me.
Glad someone mentioned Kung Fu 
Again tons of games, I’ll keep digging through this mile long list.
HAHA, man thanks for making this a SB thread. But really? The all stars look and feel is FANTASTIC. Different strokes I guess, but All-Star fits my pallet much better. But overall I think the Snes is when video games finally took flight for creativity over simply overcoming technical limitations.
To the conversation @Broco started. I agree I think less of these games will hold up. But I also think there’s some novelty, and often more consideration and charm than put into a lot of budget steam games. There’s something cool though to knowing these games came out nearly all of them were breaking some ground, and so you get some crazy stuff you wouldn’t see these days. Also I’m not slighting you in any way, but I left my inital post open because frankly I dont’ know a lot about the NES catalouge, and I wanted people to post whatever, because I was hoping for ‘good’ games. But how many will I really play to completion? Maybe one? But just poking around and having fun is the goal, and I never would of though of something like Base Wars, or… frankly about any of these.
To your point about Shovel Knight. First Shovel Knight is not an NES game. It wouldn’t fit on an NES cartridge and wouldn’t run in an NES emulator. I’m sure you know all of this. While yes it’s great homage, it’s not authentic. THANK GOD FOR THAT. I love Shovel Knight and if they had hampered it I’m sure I wouldn’t. It’s one of the best games I’ve played in years, but it is a modern game, with modern sensibilities. I mean there’s a touch of Dark Souls in there.
But overall I agree. I have no overwhelming love for the NES, but who doen’t wanna tool around with some crazy games and see what’s out there?
I mean I realized my NES knowledge was basically a touch of the Marios, Zelda, Kirby, Metroid, Castlevania, Mega Man, TMNT, Marble Madness, that Adams Family game, and Duck Hunt. Clearly mostly classics, and I had room to expand my horizons.
