Yep, the NES wasn't a game changer at all. Helping the video game market recover after the crash was barely an accomplishment.

He's not arguing the impact NES had on the industry. It has some great games... but not many.

These are the NES games I still find genuinely enjoyable today.

SMB 3
Punch Out
Kung Fu
Battletoads
Battletoads & Double Dragon

Some weird choices there, I know, but I was trying to look from the eyes of me at the time, being a kid with limited access to the entire library of NES games. Actually I never got a NES till... 1994 that was IIRC? So some of the games below are not even NES games, these're games for Dendy (hardware clone of Famicom). Yeah, small elephant Dendy (not to be confused with dAndy):

Darkwing Duck. Not sure why but I always liked Disney-related Capcom games though never was particallay a fan of a show, it was before the time every movie-licensed game = crap. Remember rumors about the sequel, which I eventually was able to get my hands on. Imagine my frustration after I rent the cart and took it to home only to see this. Well, still better than nothing :D

Chip'n Dale. Same as above, except this one was 2 player co-op game, which makes it even better in some way. Though co-op it is, inevitably everyone was trying to be a dick to another player from time to time, so much for co-op. The downside, it's very easy game.

Battle City. Aka, Tank or Tank 1990 on some pirated copies, hidden gem of NES library among 2 player co-op games, too bad it never got an international release and didn't receive much of acclaim it deserves outside of Japan (so it's technically not even a NES game). Comes with level editor!

Robocop 3. Played it more than it probably deserves just for the intro theme.

Lode Runner. Yet another simple game to play alone, holds a lot of nostalgic value to me. This one has level editor as well!

Honorable mentions: Contra, Battletoads & Double Dragon, Super Mario Bros. 3, TMNT 2 and tons of more.

Thanks for the name of the tank game! I played it a lot in one of those NES clone consoles and couldn't find it!

Never owned a NES but several friends and family members had one (this is why my list have a lot of multiplayer games, and it lacks Mario 3)

Super Mario Bros

River City Ransom

Life Force

Nintendo World Cup

Bubble Bobble

So many good games, I have to leave Balloon Fight, Zelda, Ice Climbers, Punch Out!, Excitebike and Contra out of the list...

Not gonna lie, but I just laughed my ass off at this statement. The NES:

• Introduced the D-pad

• Ended the videogame crash and was by far the most successful console in history at that point.

• Was home to many pioneer and genre defining games.

• Introduced the third party business model.

• Not to mention the massive jump in quality of games: you go from Space Invaders and Pacman to Super Mario Bros 3, Castlevania 3, and Dragon Quest 4.

The NES marked the beginning of new videogame industry and the old videogame industry was swept away like ashes in the wind. As far as game changers go, nothing approaches the NES in this industry.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
