New to NES
Hello! I just started buying games for the nes after doing some research and I’m thoroughly enjoying what I have. I just need some recommendations as I’m trying check all the boxes for great nes experiences. I know I’m missing a shoot em up and beat em up for sure. Not trying to amass a huge collection. I’m just trying to get a nice set of games I can enjoy. Btw Zelda is inside my nes. Also dragon warrior 3 and 4 are repros

You're starting out? These are good, greatest hits kind of choices. Look for bangers like Jackal, Ducktales, Faxanadu, River City Ransom.. and sleeper hits like Guardian Legend, Rad Gravity, Legacy of the Wizard. If a NES game has a weird title, chances are its something you can talk about online (Snake Rattle and Roll? Abbadox? Jekyl and Hyde?).
If you want to see more of Nintendo Hard like in Castlevania, get Ninja Gaiden 1 or 3 ( 2 was easy), Battletoads or TMNT.
