The (New) Joy of Gaming Podcast - Episode Nineteen
The Top 10 Best Games for the NES
On this episode of The (New) Joy of Gaming Podcast, we kick off a brand new series called “The Top 10 Best Games (for Every Console)” and the name kind of says it all. In each episode, we will pick a classic video game console and work together to assemble a definitive list of the 10 Best - and most essential - games that we think everyone should play in order to appreciate what that console was all about. And of course, we’re starting with the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES): the console that started it all for video games as a mainstream medium.
From The Legend of Zelda, to Super Mario Bros. to Contra and so many more - the amazing collection of games released for the NES ignited our life-long passion for the medium, and many of these games still hold up to this day. So if you haven’t experienced the joy of the NES for yourself, we’re here to recommend the 10 best places to start. And if you are already well-versed in the NES’s catalog, join us for the celebration, and then let us know what games you would recommend as absolute essentials.
