And how many of these non-ports which come to mind were released in the first 12 - 18 months of the system?
Here are the NES games of its first 18 months:
30 games after 18 months, and most of the better ones are ports from arcade:

So where are the NES games of the first years that come to mind and aren't ports?
Such a small selection after 1.5 years (a handful of good titles and a total of 30 games) would be unacceptable today, especially with that much competition.
Of course the library has to be enhanced by good titles ported from other systems.
