You can nominate your favourites from practically all NES releases - both first and third party - that ever hit the shelves.

I'd say Double Dragon 2, Golgo 13, Paperboy, Castlevania 2 and 3, Qix, Tetris, Metal Gear, Punch Out, Kid Icarus, Skate or Die, Strider, Track and Field 2.
I'd much rather see them raiding this lot and the SNES back catalogue. Maybe it's only a matter of time.

It's a good point.
There is so much SNES stuff especially, though this kind of highlight's Nintendo's complacency and current predicament. Clearly, all the SNES gems are destined for full-scale GBA outings, re-released at full price, not as part of a retrospective nugget range…

I think I would be depleting man tears if they re-released Maniac Mansion. But this time, include a hamster in the microwave option.

It'd be quite amusing if they put Track & Field as one of the games. I wonder if it'd come with the mat. I still have mine I think ^_^
