Even though I was late to the party the first two Nintendo generations (because of being poor), and didn't get my NES until 1990, I was still obsessed, and the NES will always, in my eyes, be THE greatest game console of all time.
I mean you really just can't top it, unless you're going for better tech/graphics/sound. But as far as the games go, with the exception of rpgs (SNES wins in that regard), it's hard to beat NES. So many great games/franchises:
Mario
Zelda
Mega Man
Castlevania
Adventure Island
Metroid
Kirby
Dragon Warrior/Quest
Final Fantasy
Double Dragon
Punch Out
Ninja Gaiden
Crystalis
TMNT
Contra
Star Tropics
Battletoads
Great puzzle games like Tetris, Dr. Mario and Yoshi
Great arcade ports like DK, Galaga, Breakthru, 1942, R-Type, Bump n Jump, Burger Time, Rampage, etc.
Great licensed games like Duck Tales, Monster in my Pocket, Chip n Dale, Bucky O'Hare, etc.
And a lot of great, weird games like Totally Rad, Kickmaster, Monster Party, Clash at Demonhead, River City Ransom, etc.
SNES was an amazing console, and a very close second in my eyes. But NES will always be king.
