5. Contra
Contra is Another well-known NES classic that came to America and Europe with a new name and graphics. Of course, its difficulty, then and now, remains legendary and lends itself perfectly to online multiplayer gaming.
6. Tetris

7. Mega Man 2
The NES received no less than six numbered blue bomber deliveries of Capcom, but if we have to stay with it, then we are very clear that we are committed to the sequel. The reason? The Mega Man 2 is the perfect mix between difficulty and fun, with the best songs of the whole series.
8. Castlevania

10. TMNT II: The Arcade Game
The Ninja Turtles have never gone out of fashion. Hence, it is more than a sequel, the second title based on the Ninja Turtles that Konami had released on NES, an adaptation of its legendary Beat’em Up for recreational. And despite the huge visual jump between systems, the domestic edition was noble. So, what do you think about this? Share all your views and thoughts in the comment section below.
