Nintendo has some pretty fantastic games on its list. But what sets the NES apart from the rest of the gaming systems and consoles is that it started so many of the most popular franchises in the world that are still raging today. The NES was the first system for many of the older gamers who exist in the world, but that's not to say that every game was good, just a wholꦬe lot of them.

There are some bad games. And with the years passing and graphics in video games becoming hyper-realistic, some of these older games are pretty ridiculous to look at. The pixelated stories are something that a lot of people aren't really interested in anymore. And even the classics, the greats, now have updated versions that are better than the originals. It's going to be difficult to get all of our kids to appreciate the original mission of Samus when Zero Mission is just as amazi𝄹ng with graphics from this millennium.

We've narrowed the li🅰st down to a group of games that you'll either recognize whether you've played them or🗹 not, or you'll see some of these games as recognizable names but not in the form of a video game. Don't worry if you haven't played all the great classics of the NES, just respect that they exist and that your life is better because of them. Here are the best and the worst things that the NES has to offer.

30 🎉 Good: Double Dragon

When you have a pr🙈oblem and a bunch of bad guys to beat up, it's best to have your bro help you out fist for fist, kick for kick. And that's what this game was all about. Beating up fools for fun.

It was one of the very f💫irst beat em up style games and one of the few NES titles that actually holds up in current times. It's one of those games you can drop in with a friend and enjoy bashing dudes for a while. The genre only 🌄improved the graphics.

29 🐻 🐷 Bad: Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde

What a peculiar game this was. You start out as Dꦛr. Jekyll, walking through town trying to avoid enemies. Enemies that no one really understands. And these enemies eventually got the good doctor super angry and he raged out.

💯But then, you would turn into Mr. Hyde and freak out all over town, trying to rage your way back to where you came from at the beginning of the level. It doesn't really make sense and it's one of the most frustrating games in the universe𝔉.

28 💯 Good: Kirby

When th💟is cute little pink guy made the scene, it was in the form of a game that may be the very best o🐈f those released on the NES. It had a style that has yet to really be improved upon. Kirby is pretty much the same.

The♋ first game in the series had it all. There wasn't much to improve on. Except for graphics. And even then, the newer installments were fun, but this game was probab🅺ly the best of the series and will remain that way for eternity.

27 Bad: A🎉thena

Pretty weird game here. You run around as Athena and are trying to sa🐼ve somebody. It's never really clear because the game is so glitchy and the pixels mash so often it doesn't feel like a complete game.

The figh💜ting style and items you use are so basic and boring it really doesn't feel much like a game at all. It feels like somethi🔴ng you'd play in a course about how to create video games and this is the most basic level.

26 𓃲 Good: Final Fant🎀asy

A lot of people hate on this series because it's got the word final in the title, but yet there are 15 installments of the main series. But thꦅey're not connected. Not really. And they all sort of started with this one.

✤To choose your battle team and set off on an adventure across the world fighting demons has a lot of appeals. You play as heroes. This is the game that sparked the flame of fantasy in many young people's souls.

25 ও Bad: Bible Advenܫtures

T𝓰here's nothing wrong with the good book. It's a great 🍸read and tons of people totally dig it. So it makes sense that it should be put into a video game. After all, it does have some pretty interesting characters in it.

But this game w♍as garbage. Probably for two reason🔯s. Reason one: people who like the good book probably don't want to see it in video game form. It's maybe disrespectful. Or reason two: It seems like it'd be a taboo to enjoy. Did the big guy approve it?

24 ൩ ꦜ Good: Tetris

If there was ever a game that never got old, it was this one. Whether you were on a long car ride, travelin🐭g by plane, or going number two in the bathroom, this was the game. And it will remain the game forever.

But since technology has taken over the planet, people have every type of game tailored to their desires right oꦇn their phone. Not everyone has the capacity to stack blocks anymore. And those people are terrible at organizing.

23 🍸 🦄 Bad: Super Pitfall

For some reason, this is considered to be one of the worst games ever to be created. It's probably because it feels ridiculous and looks ridiculo🦂us. The people who made this game might have been underpaid or just had a boss who didn't know anything.

This a game that has no r🌳eal 𝐆standing in the realm of NES classics. But that's fine. Games are enjoyed by whoever enjoys them. Some games released today cost twenty times what this did and are just as bad.

22 ไ Good: Mega Man 2

Something similar about Kirby and Mega Man is that they steal the powers of their enemies and use it against more of their enemies.𒉰 But Kirby does it organically while Mega Man is a robot boy with lines of code.

Mega Man is a series that sort of got outshone by other siꦫmilar characters. Samus is extremley similar. But they are very different. Mega Man has a lot of popularity to mine from this world. Better than Robꦍocop or The Terminator.

21 ♈ Bad: Hudson Hawk

ꦿThis wasn't even that good of a film. Bruce Willis was in it, and if you've ever seen it, you'll understand what we mean. It's fun to watch, ♛but it's just awful. So why did they make a game out of this thing?

We'll tell you why. Because when they made the ga𒐪me and the movie, they didn't realize how bad they were going to be. Good thing Bruce went on to keep making awesome movies. Followed by some garbage ones.
