What are the 10 best NES and SNES games playable on the DS?

 

[Destructobot]

Look at the essentials lists in the Other Consoles & Oldies forum.

May I direct your attention to this and this thread? Just, uhh, check the SNES list. Not all games on there will be playable on the DS. You're all set with NES though

Darn, beaten to it...

Wait...I can't get Mike Tyson to work on NesDS...is there a newer version out?

 

[Destructobot]

Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! doesn't work on nesDS. It does work on HVCA and PocketNES, but those are both GBA programs so you can't run them from a slot 1 flashcart.

 

[myuusmeow]

Mike Tyson's Punch-out!! was playable on NESDS for me, just the HUD and crowd were badly messed up.

 

[Artheido]

(The ones I've played, in no particular order)

NES

Punchout!!
Nintendo World Cup
Double Dragon II
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 3
Duck Hunt

Can't think of anything else that's worthy...

SNES

Chrono Trigger
Lufia II
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World
Killer Instinct
Donkey Kong Country 1
Donkey Kong Country 3
Earthbound
TLOZ: A Link to the Past

That's all I can think of from the top of my head.

They never include Shadowrun, that game was great.

It was ... but, you'll soon realize, that if an RPG is not Japanese, all the Wapanese who haunt most gaming sites now, will dismiss it.
