Not a bad list.  I played the crap out of many of them as a kid.  But how is Duck Hunt on it?  It was always sort of a filler game, whose novelty value wore out after about 10 minutes.*  Perhaps its main value was in spurring future shooter games? 

*Although you could arguably get another 10 more minutes when you discovered player two could actually move the duck.   ;)

Oh man.  Blades of Steel, Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Baseball Stars, Life Force, Castlevania, Tecmo Super Bowl, Mega Man <#>, Double Dragon II.....

Most of these games on the list are awesome, but these right here are the ones I played the most by far.

Thanks for the link. I haven't played Legend of Zelda in forever. It's hard to play that even Ocarina of Time for Nintedo 64 is almost 11 years.

20. Kid Icarus

Why has there never been a sequel to this?  Metroid, Zelda, and Mario all turned out awesome in 3D on the GC and Wii and Kid Icarus would too.

Great list though.  I played the hell out of a lot of those games as a little kid.

Wasn't Kid Icarus in the Captain N cartoons?

Don't know.  He's in the newest Super Smash Bros game on the Wii as a playable character.  Not the same thing as his own game though.

There was also a Kid Icarus Gameboy game, not sure if it was extra or a conversion of the NES title.

I didn't have a Nintendo Power subscription :(

I had to keep stealing issues from my friends.
