Suggestions for starting off for NES/Famicom?

Can't say I'm a fan of "Hannah Montana The Movie". How many gamescore points did that net you?

Don't knock it til you tried it!

If you are on a CRT, get yourself the 3D System, boot up Falsion, and be amazed!

I can suggest a few nes/famicom games as well.

Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti
Don Doko Don 2
Sweet Home
Crisis Force,beware it has gotten pricey.
Mad City,japanese version of bayou billy and a easier game.
Holy Diver,also pricey for a original but retro bit is having a release.

I would recommend the Wizardry and Ultima games for the NES. Rampart for the Famicom is pretty bad ass too. Oh yeah and the original Gooneis. Can't go wrong with that.

I’ll recommend some games shortly.


However. I’d say just get a Analouge Nt mini. It’s “clone” sure but apart from allowing both famicom, nes, pal physical cart to olay you get:

HDMI out
RGB our
Sd card slot which allowed:

Roma to be played for

NES
Atari
SMS
Game boy
Gamebiy color
Game gear

And some other stuff

So it’s cheaper then buying a AVS and everdrive. Also has more flexibility.

It's kind of a cop out saying this, but sticking to stuff the US didn't get at all (or is now grossly overpriced ($100+) there is a fairly safe way to go with it.

Arcade conversions, console conversions from other systems (Bonk NES =300 loose, 20~ on FC), and the unique Konami releases are great places to start looking for some pretty solid quality.  Second to that, if you're using a rom box (android tablet/phone, retron, retrofreak) that can run translations or a SD card using kit -- head over to romhacking and find any 97-100% translation patches.  People rarely waste 100s of hours on hot garbage.

For Famicom I recommend Quarth from Konami. It’s cheap and an amazing puzzle/ shooter hybrid. One of the best 8-bit games period.

Never knew this existed, I just play the actual disks and eagerly await for them all to break.  It's a shame that it looks like when using a Twin you need to be the world's greatest engineer to hook it up.

To the OP, get a bunch of the Chinese pirate games and thank me later.  Things like Street Fighter 12, Somari, and Super Mario World are in heavy Famicom rotation at my house.

These 150-in-1 carts have a ton of great games and only cost about $10: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Arrival-150-In-1-Rockman-1-2-3-4-5-6-Game-Card-For-72/32842870920.html

Did you know you can play Fami Disk games via a SNES?

The 150in1 is one of the better, but there is an even nicer one, and in Famicom format can cost you like 1/2 the price of that.  The Super Games 500in1.  It has maybe 330~ unique games with NO repeats, and the other are subpar lesser than homebrew quality pure garbage from who knows where.

The 500in1 has a lot of those $50-1000 Famicom/NES era stuff people go stupid over with their wallets now so the selection is a fantastic slice of goodies.  It does lack some of those games people go nuts over, but they tend to be chipped games by the maker.  Things like the Konami VRC line of stuff (Twinbee 3, Gradius 2, Yume Monogatari Penguin, Castlevania III, Crisis Force, Bio Miracle Bokuette Upa, and others aren't on it.)  But you do get the nasties like Adventure Island 4, Little Samson, Bubble Bobble 2, Contra Force, TMNT Tournament Fighters, Rescue Rangers 2, Gun Nac, Flintstones 2, and others.  I'd go find a list and skim it as it's crazy.

Yeah, I've got this 340-in-1 cart for the Famicom and it's got tons of awesome games on it.
