The Lion King was for Sega Genesis/Super Nintendo, unless some backwater NES port was also released--which movie companies did do quite often in those days.

Bubble Bobble was probably my all time favorite. When that beast hit the Virtual Console on the Wii, my 500 points were just gone. Money well spent, as my friend and I pretty much immediately took it on, just like the olden days.

We're 26 years old now. It was awesome.

favorite game: Kid Icarus

best game: The Legend of Zelda

It has to be the all around best NES game when you consider the 2nd quest with nine new dungeons.

Also remember that "favorite game" and "best game" are two different things. :)

My favorite game is either Super Mario Bros. 3 or The Legend of Zelda. They're one of the few games that I will play over and over again, and never really get tired of them (besides arcade games, which don't count because you never really beat them).

NES is Nintendo Entertainment System. I guess there an older version that had a robot but that doesn't count so don't start picking my claim about the NES being the original Nintendo game system.


No, the NES was the one that had a robot. Nintendo did have the Game & Watch games, and arcade machines before the NES, but NES was the first home console.

I can't say off the top of my head if it was only released in PAL, or if it was only a prototype, but there is a Lion King for NES.

I love the way young people can't tell the difference between SNES and NES. Quite a few think NES = SNES :lol:

I never owned a console of ANY sort, but I did play and like Zelda on the NES compared with others. I could never work out of the character was male or female. It's the ONLY Zelda game I've ever played and that was back in 1994

You know how in Castlevania 2, after defeating Dracula, there are three different endings, depending on how long it takes you to finish?

The ending with the red sky, and then Dracula's hand popping out of his grave that night, used to scare me to death.

I don't remember when we got ours, but I am 200% certain I had an NES and am also a person on this forum ;)

And before we got an NES, I remember getting kind of bored with the Atari 2600 games we had.

The Legend of Zelda is pretty easily my favorite NES game.

Aside from that extremely obvious choice, there is a lesser known gem that I love and have replayed dozens of times by the name of The Guardian Legend. If you've never played it but you like Sci-Fi adventure games and top-scrolling shooters, I recommend giving it a try if you have the opportunity. It's the one game that I keep praying they remake for a current generation console. Whatever console they make it for, I would definitely purchase immediately.
