[Essentials] NES

[iritegood]

Moonwind (Getsu Fuuma Den)
Dragon Scroll (Yomigaerishi Maryuu)
Rygar
Gradius I, II, & III
Castlevania I, II, & III
Cosmic Wars
Contra I & II
Ninja Gaiden I, II, & III
Blaster Master (Meta Fight)
lots more...

To those who have not experience Moonwind and Dragon Scroll, Find it!!! Was really way ahead of its time!

Gradius III was for the SNES. Wrong list.

[2] Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
[1] Puch-Out
[1] Punch-Out!!

I think these can be combined into [4] Punch-Out!! / Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!.

I thought Mike Tyson's Punch-out was like a sequel?

Edit: After looking it up, it seems punch-out for the nes is the re-release of mike tyson's punch out, after the license to use him in the game ended. Also - after checking this page, it seems there's only 1 vote for punch out and 2 for mike tyson's punch out.

Any suggestions as to what I should do?

[the_joeba]

Super Mario Bros.
The Legend of Zelda
TMNT2: Arcade
all have my vote
I'll throw Duck Tales in for good measure.

Ok, quick list of the games that I feel are must-plays:

Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 3
Metroid
Megaman 3
Blaster Master
Super C
Castlevania
Castlevania 3
Crystalis
The Legend of Zelda
Ninja Gaiden
RC Pro-Am
Shadowgate


Also, the punch out games are pretty much the same. Just Punch-Out! is the one with Mr. Dream replacing Mike Tyson. The rest of the game is identical (minus text and graphics and such)

In that case, I'll keep Mike Tyson's Punch-out and remove regular punch-out (which has less votes)

I've updated it to post #34. But since no one's voted for a few days, I think it'd be a good time to vote.
