Nintendo has Never Made a Bad Game.

There were some horrid games from Nintendo's dev studios on the NES. Dozens of them. So even if the quality control went up in later years, you can't ignore the piles of shovel ware they used to release on their early systems.

 

on NES, for example: Urban Champion, Volleyball, Soccer, Baseball, Clu Clu Land, and Wrecking Crew all immediately come to mind. These games range from broken to crap.

It didn't stop on SNES either. Super Play Action Football comes to mind, that was hot garbage.

By today's standards maybe, but these games were all revolutionary back in 1985-86 when they were released. Just take a look at what a sports game looked like on Atari 2600.

I was there when these games launched, and played most of them close to launch, they were bad then too.

While the games may have been better than Atari 2600 (before my time), they were still crap compared to sports titles already on the C64 and other contemporary platforms from the early to mid 80s. They were also extremely bad compared to other contemporary NES games like Super Mario Bros, Metroid, Dragon Warrior, and Castlevania.
