IGN's Top 100 NES games

Hey does anybody remember a game where they would periodically have all the bad guys turn into skinny cats and it meant death pretty quick? Had an Asian theme iirc.

Go play a man's game.

Another write-in:  RBI Baseball 2

[Vince]

Yet another write-in:  Defender of the Crown.  The first strategy game I ever owned.

A yes that should be in there. Rest of the list (of what I know) looks good

[Drakken]

Lot of classics on there.  River City Ransom is one of my all time favourites, what a fun fun game.  Crystalis and Faxandu were both super good rpgs as well.  One missing from this list is the Wizardry release on NES, I played the crap out of that game.

Also lots of Sunsoft games on the list... those guys made some killer games, hard as heck to beat as well.

It may be niche but the Koei games were also awesome, i'm surprised by the lack of them on this list.

Agreed. At least Nobunaga's Ambition should be there.

I missed the 8 bit era.
I didn't get consoles until Sonic came out. Though my friend had a master system.
Spectrum all the way.

Thinking of what I've played on emulators though....best NES games-
Pirates
Manic Mansion

What was the baseball game where you had super powers?  Like super pitches and stuff?

Stop holding out on me J, I know you know which game I mean.

Baseball Simulator 1.000.   But I only ever played the SNES version.

Super Mario 2 doesn't belong.

I never got the point of that one.

It's because we North Americans got assraped by Nintendo, once more. For reasons unknown the Jappos got to play the real SMB2 (known here as The Lost Levels) while we got another game, Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Pani, reprogrammed into a Mario Bros game and sold to gullible kids as a sequel.

Only the Power Glove ranks lower, because it's so bad. That, and the putrified piece of garbage Nintendo made of Metal Gear for the North American NES, while Kojima's original version kicked ass. Kojima himself said, using other words, that in all the NES version sucked.

[Drakken]

Nobunaga's Ambition II should be there as well.   

I agree, if only because Yoko Kanno's music, especially Toki no Shirabe, is superb even in NES midi version. I have it on one of my soundtracks (plus the whole soundtrack of SNES' Nobunaga's Ambition: Lord of Darkness, which is dementially good) but it can be listened on Youtube as well.

When your game's soundtrack is composed by a worldwide composer like Yoko Kanno, your game's bound to be on a best's list.

[Sophie Scholl]

Games I loved that didn't make the cut:  The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, G.I. Joe: The Atlantis Factor, Milon's Secret Castle, Silent Service, North & South, Adventure Island, and Pool of Radiance.

Nah that wasn't it.  It had all these egg headed characters you put on your team.  I remember there was a witch named Zelda who used a broom for a bat.  In the out field some of the characters could jump up and float to catch the ball.
