Shouldn't this list resemble the list at Nintendo's website? I see some games that are not on any list i have seen, or played. 192.153.163.61 ( talk) 13:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I am being bold and reworking the entire list. The new list will very much follow in the same design as the List of Nintendo 64 games. The new list will be greatly expanded (column-wise) and will include the following:
Please note that this will take a while (there are over 800 titles), and I am using my sandbox to construct the new lists. I will edit each section complete by letter when I finish with a certain letter.
As usual, if there is a discrepancy with the information, i.e. incorrect regions, number of players, etc, to be bold and edit. MuZemike ( talk) 03:53, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
There is an unlicenced game called Free Fall that is not on the list and its quite good.I think you should add unlicensed games to the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.175.71.71 ( talk) 15:50, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was to keep as is. (consensus to keep together) MuZemike ( talk) 04:03, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Because of the sheer size of the article, I propose that we split this article into a new article called List of unlicensed NES games. That is, all unlicensed NES games on this list will have a list of their own. It should be large enough to be self–sustainable as well as succeed in reducing the already–bloated size of this list. Please discuss here. (If no discussion occurs within five days of the sign date of this message, then the proposal automatically passes.) MuZemike ( talk) 00:02, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Again, because of the sheer size of this list, I propose that we also split this article into another one called List of Europe-only NES games. This one seems more iffy than my previous proposal, as there are not as many Europe-only titles as there seem to be unlicensed titles. The obvious pro would be that the size of this list would be further reduced and look more like the official list of NES games released by Nintendo. Please discuss here.

I propose that all titles in the List of Famicom games that have been released outside the Japan region be merged to the List of Nintendo Entertainment System games. My rationale is that both lists have redundant information; I think it's a better idea that the List of Famicom games contain Famicom–only titles, while those released for both the Famicom and the NES be listed here. It will reduce the size of the Famicom list, while at the same time, retain the Japanese naming of said merged titles in the NES list as alternate titles. Please discuss. MuZemike ( talk) 18:17, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
I have provided an updated URL for the official list of NES games published by Nintendo. I have also included comprehensive NES game lists from verifiable outside sources, such as GameFAQs, 1UP.com, and GameSpot. So hopefully every game on this list — which also contains unlicensed games — are also covered and can be verified. If anyone wishes to discuss any better usage of the references for this list, please discuss below. MuZemike ( talk) 19:53, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I suggest that we focus on lists of games as citations. For example, we could use GameFAQs' genre sorting system for NES games (which would be better than the Alpha sorting) to limit the citations, because the kb-size is getting far too high. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler!

I do not think the links are done right. If over linking is an issue then what rule should be applied here. Should only items grouped with the same publishers be left with only one link for the highest item or how far can you accept the link to be located. Today it is not very consistent so could we perhaps decide upon how linking should be done? Werrock ( talk) 14:32, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
I saw that some Sachen games made it to the list and I reverted those edits. I do not consider Sachen games to be part of the NES collection and most list out there do not count these games. It is however hard to say where to draw the line since the current list allows many unlicensed games and even really rare ones like the Panesia games. Please share your opinions on this subject. Werrock ( talk) 08:46, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
As a newly started NES collector (although been owning one as long as I remember) I came here with the simple goal of extracting a complete list of all NES games. This was however not that easy it seemed and everywhere you look there are different figures of the total amount of NES titles. As of 2009 you could have hoped (honestly I expected) that a complete list was well defined. Anyway, I do prefer the Wikipedia list and I try to make it accurate as my understanding of the NES library grows. There seems to exists some rules that can be applied to define what titles are allowed on the list. Werrock ( talk) 20:04, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Please edit this list with rules and guidelines:
Exceptions from the rules:
Nintendo World Championships (competition game never "released" but kept for its holy grail status)
I am too confused to sort this out. There is one game called "Tecmo Cup Soccer Game" and another called "Tecmo World Cup Soccer" on the list. They both link to the same article but has different source from gamefaqs. You can also play both here and they are not the same games. Not even close. On the other hand, the list at Nintendo only list Tecmo World Cup Soccer which according to the source is a PAL exclusive and I have not found Tecmo World Cup Soccer anywhere. Please help me sort this out. Werrock ( talk) 17:26, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Was it released in 1989, according to the GameFAQs source, or was it in January 1989, according to the official Nintendo source ( http://web.archive.org/web/20070317023021/nintendo.com/doc/nes_games.pdf)? There seems to be conflicting dates here. Can anyone else here shed some light on this? MuZemike 05:20, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Would Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril be allowable on the list as an NES game, despite the fact that it was released by a video game company (albeit a one-man operation) this year with its cartridges being made by RetroZone [1]? I'm kind of wavy on this, as I know it's verified by reliable sources, but the process of making new NES games for the NES specifically (unlike Mega Man 9 or Mega Man 10 which weren't made specifically for the NES even though they were "8-bit") has long passed? – MuZemike 02:24, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

sorry i was not clear on my original post - but there are two games one called Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! and another without Mike Tyson's endorsement called "Punch-Out!!", Though similar they are separate games with different labels, production runs, and boss character —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.159.95 ( talk) 17:42, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
What about, Peter Pan and the Pirates (video game)? It was not a great video game (to be polite) but it was released in the United States. Great cartoon series (that it was based on), but horrible game. Browned79. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.123.38.190 ( talk) 21:05, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
I have reverted this, explaining the same reason as above. The only differences between the two are the featured fighter and a palette-swap. Otherwise, they are identical. Unless you want to also include the re-releases of the other NES titles later in its lifespan as mentioned above, we should only include the original release date. – MuZemike 03:52, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
you should add re-release game. OR AT LEAST Punch-out featuring Mr. Dream. This game has not the same name, not the same label, not the same boss, not the same graphic. In some way its a new punch-out game. i own the both games and it count for 2 differents games in my head . Its two different data. they dont have the same value. they dont have the same original box. a game with Mike tyson is completly different with a game without it. its my opinion and i bought all of them wen they were released. As long as a few data has been changed , like fighters, its a new game. otherwise list street fighter ii and street fighter ii turbo at the same game. Nintendo has changed the title name game, so it has to be see at 2 different game. For have the complete nes collection games, you need the 2 games, or you cant say you have the entire collection. Renejr902 ( talk) 04:50, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Still i understand your point. But i dont have time to edit all re-release game. But i think punch-out is the only re-release nes game that have his data modified included the graphics and the title. we should add this re-release because the list if somehow missing information, its not complete. IMPORTANT NOTE: im sorry i think i messed up some title , im really sorry. im new here. sorry Renejr902 ( talk) 05:09, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
i understand, you seem right, but the title is different, isnt ? is nintendo really changed the title ? if not maybe the game Title is only: Punchout!!, and not Mike tyson Punchout. anyway im not sure anymore about anything about this game. LOL Renejr902 ( talk) 05:27, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
anyway someone must add all the nes re-release games. this way the list will be complete. Maybe in a separate list. Renejr902 ( talk) 05:29, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
I know a good while ago I removed the month of release date from all the entries due to size issues. However, since we're only at about 56KB and that we did do some streamlining not too long ago to save some space, would it be worthwhile to add that back in (assuming it would only bump the size up by around 10-20KB or so)? – MuZemike 04:10, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Month release for each nes game will be a good improvement on the list. and more complete list. in the nes game list pdf from nintendo all month release info is there. Renejr902 ( talk) 05:43, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
As far as I know, and how about every source has it, the game is Gun.Smoke and not Gunsmoke. The NES game (and its arcade counterpart) has no connection to the TV series of the same, and that has been the name of the game. There is no reason for it to be Gunsmoke. – MuZemike 01:57, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
From what I gather, with regards to this edit, R.B.I. Baseball was released by Namco but only in Japan for the Famicom; this is already accounted for in the list of Famicom games. It was released in North America but only for Tengen if I recall correctly; I know there were games such as Pac-Man that were originally were released by Tengen and then rereleased by Namco after the Nintendo/Tengen lawsuit, but I don't think R.B.I. Baseball was one of them. I don't know what 76.121.35.94 exactly means by what version he has; AFAIK, it could be the Japanese version. – MuZemike 02:02, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
This page has been vandalized by a no-lifer creature from Phillipines. -- Hydao ( talk) 06:02, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
I for one am really for merging this with the Famicom lists. The issue of hardware differences has been raised before. Most of these differences however are slight, many of them simply a matter of form factor. However, the real point of comparison should be the ROM image. Most NES games are essentially the same as their Famicom (or FDS) counterpart. In some cases the conversion from (U) to Pal regions is in fact more significant ( (魂斗羅) versus Contra versus Probector for instance) so why should (U) and Pal regions be arbitrarily lumped together as "the same game" when both are simply modifications to the (J) ROM? Need I mention that the NES and Famicom hardware pages have already been merged? Likewise, the N64 list includes all regions together. Furthermore, the separation of the two lists makes them useless as a tool for tracking the library across all relevant regions. This list should serve as a useful reference point in the study of Nintendo's international entry in the third generation of video game history; not as some kind of a hit list for North American collectors. If Famicom must remain separate it certainly makes no more sense leaving (U) and Pal merged when those are likewise entirely separate markets with hardware differences that effect the cross-region compatibility of games.
Furthermore, the decision to delete the "Alternate Titles" field strikes me as an extremely poor one. For one thing, it shows regional bias to assume that readers will be familiar with the (U) name if they go looking for a PAL title. It already introduces a bias to make the (U) name the default (acceptable in my opinion simply because of the larger library), but to completely remove the pertinent PAL information in these cases makes the list a poor resource for individuals from those regions and violates the principal of neutrality. The SNES and N64 lists already set a good precedent for how this should be done.
Also, this list really ought to include the depth of information of similar lists. For example, it ought to include developer as well as publisher information (which is more important anyway in my opinion), number of players and... Well I'm mostly against including subjective categories like genre but I wouldn't mind someone taking a stab at it. Frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing game size included like on the Japanese list, and even mappers (Both of which are probably more indicative of a game's actual structure and capabilities than simple dating). That's about it.

As of today, the article's only remaining red link is the one to Sivak Games. Sivak doesn't seem to meet the notability guidelines yet. We could unlink it, but that matters very little either way.
In any case, documenting NES software to this extent was a lot of work! To everyone who contributed: Thank you. The lack of red links in this list is a reflection of the diligence of many volunteers. Now, maybe we can improve the quality and accuracy of these articles! – Ringbang ( talk)
I'd like to point out that the list currently lists the game "Cool Spot" as a NES title, which is incorrect. The only game to be released on the original NES with the Spot character is simply called "Spot".
The page linked proves this, as the whole article is about "Cool Spot" for the Genesis and SNES, except for a mistaken link at the bottom of the page for the Mobygames page of both "Spot" (External Links) and "Cool Spot" (References).
Spot: http://www.mobygames.com/game/nes/spot Cool Spot: http://www.mobygames.com/game/cool-spot Series: http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/7-ups-spot-licensees
I'd fix it myself, but it seems the list is currently protected against vandalism, so someons must confirm this and do it for me. Thanks. Raven-14 ( talk) 04:44, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

It was released in North America but only for Tengen if I recall correctly; I know there were games such as Pac-Man that were originally were released by Tengen and then rereleased by Namco after the Nintendo/Tengen lawsuit, but I don't think R.B.I. Baseball was one of them. I don't know what 76.121.35.94 exactly means by what version he has; AFAIK, it could be the Japanese version. – MuZemike 02:02, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

I for one am really for merging this with the Famicom lists. The issue of hardware differences has been raised before. Most of these differences however are slight, many of them simply a matter of form factor. However, the real point of comparison should be the ROM image. Most NES games are essentially the same as their Famicom (or FDS) counterpart. In some cases the conversion from (U) to Pal regions is in fact more significant ( (魂斗羅) versus Contra versus Probector for instance) so why should (U) and Pal regions be arbitrarily lumped together as "the same game" when both are simply modifications to the (J) ROM? Need I mention that the NES and Famicom hardware pages have already been merged? Likewise, the N64 list includes all regions together. Furthermore, the separation of the two lists makes them useless as a tool for tracking the library across all relevant regions. This list should serve as a useful reference point in the study of Nintendo's international entry in the third generation of video game history; not as some kind of a hit list for North American collectors. If Famicom must remain separate it certainly makes no more sense leaving (U) and Pal merged when those are likewise entirely separate markets with hardware differences that effect the cross-region compatibility of games.
Furthermore, the decision to delete the "Alternate Titles" field strikes me as an extremely poor one. For one thing, it shows regional bias to assume that readers will be familiar with the (U) name if they go looking for a PAL title. It already introduces a bias to make the (U) name the default (acceptable in my opinion simply because of the larger library), but to completely remove the pertinent PAL information in these cases makes the list a poor resource for individuals from those regions and violates the principal of neutrality. The SNES and N64 lists already set a good precedent for how this should be done.
Also, this list really ought to include the depth of information of similar lists. For example, it ought to include developer as well as publisher information (which is more important anyway in my opinion), number of players and... Well I'm mostly against including subjective categories like genre but I wouldn't mind someone taking a stab at it. Frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing game size included like on the Japanese list, and even mappers (Both of which are probably more indicative of a game's actual structure and capabilities than simple dating). That's about it.

As of today, the article's only remaining red link is the one to Sivak Games. Sivak doesn't seem to meet the notability guidelines yet. We could unlink it, but that matters very little either way.
In any case, documenting NES software to this extent was a lot of work! To everyone who contributed: Thank you. The lack of red links in this list is a reflection of the diligence of many volunteers. Now, maybe we can improve the quality and accuracy of these articles! – Ringbang ( talk)
I'd like to point out that the list currently lists the game "Cool Spot" as a NES title, which is incorrect. The only game to be released on the original NES with the Spot character is simply called "Spot".
The page linked proves this, as the whole article is about "Cool Spot" for the Genesis and SNES, except for a mistaken link at the bottom of the page for the Mobygames page of both "Spot" (External Links) and "Cool Spot" (References).
Spot: http://www.mobygames.com/game/nes/spot Cool Spot: http://www.mobygames.com/game/cool-spot Series: http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/7-ups-spot-licensees
I'd fix it myself, but it seems the list is currently protected against vandalism, so someons must confirm this and do it for me. Thanks. Raven-14 ( talk) 04:44, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

The Metroid link should link to Metroid_(video_game) i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metroid_(video_game) not Metroid, as that is the general Metroid page and not the NES game Kennethcason ( talk) 18:36, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
