    The NES, also known as Famicom, launched in 1983 in Japan and 1985 in North America, where the video game industry was headed downhill due to a deluge of poor games and over-saturation. Nintendo's second home console became an enormous success, establishing consoles as a mainstream market in Japan and pulling the North American industry back to its feet.

    Buying NES games, what should I get?

    So I've gotten my old NES back, and I'm currently purchasing games off of eBay. I currently own:
     
    Super Mario Bros
    Super Mario Bros. 3
    Duck Tales
    Marble Madness
     
    What other titles should I buy?
     
    I was thinking of getting Mega Man 2, Gauntlet II and A Boy and his Blob

    Yes.
     
    Yes.
     
    Mega Man 2 is the shiiiit.  Some other good ones off the top of my head:  Kirby's Adventure, Wario's Woods, Mario 2, Metroid, Deja Vu.

    Mega Man 2 is, like, the best game ever.  I was also a big fan of Ninja Gaiden II.  Duck Tales was a very nice choice.  Also, you should get Super Spike V'Ball.
