Top ten: best selling NES games

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_best-selling_Nintendo_Entertainment...

NOTICE these aren't my favorite NES games, these are the best selling NES games. Enjoy! ^^


The Nintendo Entertainment System is an 8-bit video game console that was released by Nintendo in North America, Europe, and Australia in 1985. In most of Asia, including Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Singapore, it was released as the Family Computer or simply FC for short. In Southern Asia (such as India), it was known as the Tata Famicom.

The best-selling gaming console of its time the NES helped revitalize the US video game industry following the video game crash of 1983, and set the standard for subsequent consoles in everything from game designf to controller layout.g In addition, with the NES, Nintendo introduced a now-standard business model of software licensing for third-party developers.
Nintendos near monopoly on the home video game market left it with a degree of influence over the industry exceeding even that of Atari during Atari's heyday in the early 1980s. Unlike Atari, which never actively courted third-party developers (and even went to court in an attempt to force Activision to cease production of Atari 2600 games), Nintendo had anticipated and encouraged the involvement of third-party software developers—but strictly on Nintendos terms. To this end, a 10NES authentication chip was placed in every console, and another was placed in every officially licensed cartridge. If the console's chip could not detect a counterpart chip inside the cartridge, the game would not load. Because Nintendo controlled the production of all cartridges, it was able to enforce strict rules on its third-party developers. Third-party developers were also asked to sign a contract by Nintendo that would obligate these parties to develop exclusively for the system. These extremely restricted production runs would end up damaging several smaller software developers: even if demand for their games was high, they could only produce as much profit as Nintendo allowed.

I can't believe Super Mario Bros. lost it's spot as best selling game of all time to fucking Wii Sports.

wheres CONTRA!?

@lmcgregoruk - It might have been the vs then. All I remember is, that it was in a pizza store, and that I played it before buying the NES or before it was released in the US. The fluidness of the side scrolling engine combined with the Mario/Luigi character walking animation hasn't been matched in smb2 or 3. DOn' know about the newer smbs though!

Wii sports pawned all

@1200com Well the only 2 Arcade versions of Super Mario Bros. I'm aware of is the PlayChoice-10 version(NES rom) and the Vs. Super Mario Bros.

If you are very good at perceiving, like me (I proudly say) notice that SMB is a Perfect, I mean Perfect Arcade game port to the Nes. It strikes me to this day, that "that" was possible in 1985 and that no other Mario came close to it. The platforming engne for all smbs after it are very different. Sadly though. The only 2 things I can think of is: 1- either smb was coded purely in Assemby or 2- the original engine was destroyed or deleted in an accident. No other game came close 2 smb's glory

@glitchedgamer Tetris is the best selling game of all-time if you count mobile

[JustAnotherRandomVid]

I'm guessing you rushed in each of these videos for gameplay...

[lockoshamface]

put the vids up in HD please.....O wait ....

[aglewi41]

@glitchedgamer yeah thats why i think pack in games shouldn't count

[baigandine]

@AneierHSNO4 Yes, although it already had a couple of features ripped from Mario. POW blocks and Starmen. Not sure about the Starman theme song.

Less obviously, severed heads that functioned the same way as a Koopa shell, even if they were not originally rendered as such.

@baigandine yea but it wasnt an original mario game. it was originally called Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic because the 2nd original one was too close to the 1st and too hard they adapted the one we now know as super mario bros 2. which was said probably a bunch b4 me on here
