The following list of 100 original Nintendo games for the Nintendo Entertainment System is aimed to accomplish that task. We decided to approach this feature by first asking ourselves the following question: if we could only save 100 games from the Nintendo Entertainment System for posterity, what would they be? Over 750 games were released for the NES under the seal of Nintendo of America. The current President and CEO of Nintendo of America summed up their stance perfectly, “If it's not fun, why bother”. They valued quality game design over everything else. Additionally, the games of the time simply weren’t fun, and seemed to be being made purely for profit. Consumers had lost their trust in the industry, for years games had been marketed using visuals that completely misrepresented the actual (highly underwhelming) graphics of the games. The NES did something that no other console before it could, it delivered on its promises. Then, the japanese guardian angel arrived … the NES. People had begun to believe that video games would never recover, and would soon become a brief blurb in the history books. After the Video Game Crash of 1983, total revenue in the industry had gone from 3.2 billion dollars in 1983, down to a measly 100 million dollars in 1985. The original Nintendo Entertainment System saved the video game industry from the brink of death. ![]() ![]() ![]() This feature was originally published on September 8, 2017.
