Hey guys, sorry about the delay - I'm finally done! Here's the last entry in my top 100 NES/Famicom games list!

Here is what I consider to be unquestionably the best game on the hardware. Thanks for everyone who has supported me through this! Rest assured, I will be doing top ## lists for other systems in the future, just probably not right away.

Anyway for now, enjoy!

I wouldn't have it any other way! In fact, you can at least partly thank Dwedit for the idea - I was thinking of a way to finish the list, and since I actually do like Action 52 in a so-bad-its-good way, it seemed fitting.

But I'm not a total troll - just read through it. Like a teasing girlfriend, you'll get to the goods eventually.

Great review. By far the best I've seen to date. I really appreciate you inclusion of history with the games, there's more to be appreciated than just the game play.

Thanks for the great read.

Gimmick ? Ok it's fun for a short while but #1 ?!?
I think sunsoft games are majorly overrated. Not that they're bad but they keep coming in top NES lists, and well I don't think they are all that good personally.

And yes Action 52 is so bad that anybody should play it !

I do love Gimmick! a lot myself (own a copy of the japanese cart in fact), so I should be glad to see it in a top ten list, but...

Despite being mentioned in every single post in the series, the most awesome NES game ever: Battletoads, was not considered to be worthy of any entry in an extensive NES top-100 list?

I know your list is just personal opinion, but that's just plain silly.

There were some picks I didn't agree with and many that I did, but regardless, I enjoyed reading every entry. Great job!

Battletoads is one of the best NES games.

hahaha, everywhere I post people are confused as why I didn't post Dragon Qarrior/Battletoads/Kid Icarus as they are normally in every such top 100 NES games list.

The fact is, I simply don't like them.

It's quite incredible you don't like Battletoads...

, but fair enough, you even took Action52.

Dwedit · Post by **Dwedit** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:35 am

Battletoads is a quality game, but it really needed infinite continues, and maybe a push-button code for level selection.

3gengames · Post by **3gengames** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:59 am

Yeah, Battletoads is one of the top games for sure.

And yes, we know you exclude/lower some of the best games because you don't like them already, no surprise there. :p
