The Famicon and NES library was full of shit

Like, seriously, it was full of really shitty games and those of the caliber of Super Mario Bros or Journey to Silius were fucking rare. Most of the games that were on the sytem were shitty repetitive games like Circus Charlie, Pooyan, Nuts & Milk or pic related

That isn't to say these games weren't entertaining or couldn't be enjoyed, but most of them were, legitimately, bad.

Do you remember playing any game like these?
>>
I have beaten 380+ NES/FC games and 90% of them were good.

Famicom/NES with and without mappers are like two different systems.

No it wasn't, at best it was level with the PS1 and PS2 one.
>Like, seriously,
Like, seriously, your parents where still in elementary when the NES was on its prime so SYBAU

Japanese can't make good games for shit

Agreed. The average NES game is only marginally better than the average pre-crash home console game. The best games however are really great and deserve praise for being the main source of influence to pretty much any videogame released thereafter. I wish the Master System had more third party support, because SEGA couldn't make games for shit during that era despite having the best hardware.

I’m finally seeing the light
I will now start hating Nintendo and loving European microcomputer games

I'm sorry anon, but video games started to get good around the 4th gen of consoles.
level design, gameplay etc became more "realised".
most of the nes library is unfun and unplayable.
and I'm not saying that because they're difficult but because they're unfair and throw shit out of nowhere (see ninja gaiden) only enjoyed by masochists.
only good games that came out from the nes are Super mario 3 and the megaman sequels

nta, but filtered

>>12592753
Yeah I agree, there's nothing on the Ninturd library that compares to gems such as Fat Worm Blows a Sparky
>>
>>12592753
its defining feature was quality control. the nintendo cuck stamp of approval used to mean something

The NES has more easy games your filtered ass will probably enjoy
Try Kirby's Adventure and DuckTales

The NES had about 700 titles, but how many of those were actually legit great and fantastic titles? You remember the Super Mario games, Tetris, Legend Of Zelda, Castlevania, Metroid, Megaman, the big ones, and then the somewhat lesser talked about gems, such as Wizards & Warriors, Mr. Gimmick, Gremlins 2, S.C.A.T, Rollerball, Pac-Man, Dr. Mario, New Ghostbusters II, Batman, Life Force, Arkanoid, etc, it's about maybe 100 truly great games

But how much bland or uninteresting shit which was just mediocre, was there, for the NES? How many uninspired ripoffs or awful ports were there? How many thoughtless and terrible movie adaptions were there?
Hundreds and hundreds.

There are more awful or mediocre games for the NES than there are great ones, that's what will happen.
I grew up with an NES, and I loved it, but I have little interest in playing most of it's library, I'm interested in the stuff that was actually really good.

>Mappy, Circus Charlie, Pooyan
arcade ports, zoomer wouldn’t understand the appeal
>Nuts & Milk
year one game

>>12592753
>Journey to Silius

Weird example to use. It's a good enough game to be worth playing, but only barely.

Obviously the library contains many good games and many bad games. But everybody in this thread who is going beyond that obvious fact in their negative criticism of it just seems really ignorant. Why would your particular pet sideview action games be the ONLY good ones, when there were so many other celebrated ones on the platform? Like the dude who likes Mega Man sequels but throws all other similar games by the same company (Darkwing Duck and Bucky O'Hare for example) into the garbage, and ignores the entire celebrated Konami library - why even post this kind of crap? It's just random aimless negativity, without even the sense of play that a troll would exhibit. Those posts are emptier than what a bot would write.

And the OP had to even include the entire Famicom library. The dude who can't even come up with something better than Journey to Silius has tried a representative sample of the Japan-only classics too? Yeah no.
>>
>>12592753
Are you suggesting it makes sense in some way to judge a wildly successful system by its shovelware?
>>
>>12593317
Nobody forces you to play shit games. It's all about the absolute number of good games

>>12593317
This applies to literally any medium and you're a dumbass.

it's excellent, always in the top 3 libraries discussion

It has hundreds of great, fun, polished games. Its 2D platforming is unmatched to this day and many great genres or concepts start there

Thing is, we tend to compare the rest of its library to the absolute behemoths the system has like SMB3 or Kirby's Adv.
