When you think of the NES, what do you think when you think software? Now do the same for SNES, Genesis, PS1 etc. Did a fucking PORT come to mind? I'm guessing not.

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.

Do a list of all the 4 year old ports Nintendo brought to the SNES, N64 and GC. I'd wager Switch has already beat them.....combined.
