What was the 3rd party support like on NES? (Serious question)

I am curious...

the nes had one of the best libuary ive seen, nintendo limited developers with 5 games a year so they can avoid shit games lol

It was excellent, tons of great games, but also tons of crap ones but it has a solid library.

Wow the Wii even is followed with a handheld. The NES was followed with one too.(Game and Watch)

OK, I'll bite:  what handheld followed the Wii?  The DS launched years before it. 

And ... um ... the NES was followed by the Game Boy.  The Game & Watch series actually predates the NES. 

In fact, do you mean the Wii and NES followed handhelds?  Not that it really matters IMO since this point is sillier than the rest of the OP.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia.  Thanks WordsofWisdom! 

I want a new Super Wii golden era : ), i think Malstrom already mentioned an explained all those points once already

-The controller: its meant to be simple to attrack the people that found computers too complex
-The "casual" games: This games make the console look more useful to the average person
-The weird controllers: It was hard to put a videogaming console on America, so they disguised it as a toy with a R.O.B and the Zapper



Nintendo is the best videogames company ever!

The NES had better games than its rivals though.


Just because I know some Ninty fan will try and report that as trolling even though it isn't I'll use metacritic to validate the statement, which anyone is free to check.

Yeah, if only we could look up sales figures or something to see which games are better.

Because obviously the opinions of people voting with their wallets and actual, real money carries much less weight than the aggregate worthless opinions of jaded, fat, sweaty nerds with some delusion that anyone outside their tiny niche of core gamers gives a crap about what they have to say.

Gamespot docks off points from Metroid Prime 3 for being too similar to the first two games AND for being too different to the first two games.

Lastly, let me ask: During this generation, did anyone ever make the claim that reviewers are biased towards the Wii? If not or only rarely, then that must mean that the media is indeed biased against the Wii, because accusations of being too biased towards a particular console are absolutely normal (example: Gamespot being too pro 360).

1.  I remember that. 

2.  That's a really clever way to look at that!  I have to admit the argument is persuasive, too.  Not that I doubt the conclusion

I worded it wrong. I meant it was with a handheld that nintendo made. Kind've like a partnership

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

The NES had no real (console) competition.

As others have mentioned, the NES was treated by PC enthusiasts and western developers as an 'inferior', outdated piece of hardware, much like the Wii. When you look at it, the Wii is almost a mirror image of the NES.

Lastly, using metacritic in your argument, when it's established that there is no integrity in gaming journalism today? Seems kinda desperate on your part.

Not 100% sure I get "it was with", but I think I understand.  You mean the NES and Game & Watch were out at the same time, sort of in tandem. 

You could say the same thing for pretty much ALL Nintendo consoles, though. 
NES--G&W
SNES--GB
N64--GB Color
Gamecube--GB Advance
Wii--DS
