I’m talking NES, SNES, Sega and any other console I’m missing. What were your favorite games? My favorite NES games were, in no particular order:

Super Mario Bros
Mike Tyson’s Punchout
Contra
Zelda
Exite Bike
and of course Tecmo Bowl (Bo Jackson was unstoppable)

I love the Super NES games. Simple, yet just advanced enough to make them pretty enjoyable. But there’s some good NES ones too.

Super Metroid
Legend of the Mystical Ninja.
Any of the Castlevania games.
Ninja Gaiden 2

On the Switch we’ve been playing a lot of Dr. Mario and Super Mario Bros. 2 on the NES app.
Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past.

I want a new twisted metal to come out ! It’s just an edgier Mario Kart free for all but it was so fun and the stories were cool too .

Twisted Metal 2 was amazing. LOVED that game. With today’s technology, they could make an epic Twisted Metal. And with online free-for-all’s with 10-20 players…!!!

Oh man… I just got a chill when I read that. Can we make that happen? Like, now…

Remember a game called Destruction Derby? They need to remake that game too.

Shadow was my favorite character (if he was the one who drove the hearse). His special attack was insane if you could land it. Probably the best in the game. That or the motorcycle dude’s.
