10 best NES games ever

The Nintendo Entertainment System saved the Western games industry, and these are the ten best games on the console.

If we’re to be brutally honest, there aren’t too many NES (that’s Nintendo Entertainment System, in case you didn’t know) games genuinely worth going back to play in 2022. Yes, there are plenty of genuinely good games, and a bunch of nostalgic ones. It’s lovely to see how the genres we enjoy today began. But, for the most part, you’ve played better games since.

If you’re going back to the NES today, maybe with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, then we’ve listed the ten best games you need to revisit, limiting selection to one per series, with a minor exception. The NES has some incredibly nostalgic games to enjoy, but these are still good whether it’s your first or thousandth time.

10 best ever Nintendo 64 games

The Nintendo 64 had dozens of classic games, but only ten of them can make it onto this list. We nearly left out Super Mario 64, honestly.

The Nintendo 64 was the console that introduced thousands of once-young gamers to 3D worlds for the very first time, and it laid the foundations for how 3D games should be designed and played from that point forward. Sure, the controller was a bit of a misstep, but that analog stick? Iconic. 

It might’ve lacked the RPGs that made the SNES a powerhouse filled with cult classics, but the N64 brought many more genres into 3D for the first time. Whether you’re a fan of platformers, racing games, or adventures, the N64 had something for you, and we’ve listed the very best games on the platform – one game per series – right here. Scroll down below for the 10 best N64 games ever made.
