Yeah, Nintendo's GC efforts stink compared to NES, SNES or N64... but GBA's been making up for that imo. DS is pretty exciting too, Nintendo should just drop consoles all together. :)

NES

5. Legend of Zelda
4. SMB3
3. Mega Man 2
2. Mega Man

These were my favorites from back in the day. Recently I discovered Metal Storm, which I'd probably place 8th or 9th. Gotta give some love to THE IMMORTAL, but that game was just so unfair.

Never had an SNES but I played a lot of SF2 Turbo with friends.

GENESIS

5. Madden '93 (I've never been a foootball guy but I STILL played the shit out of this)
4. Golden Axe
3. Revenge of Shinobi
2. Sonic the Hedgehog
1. Ghouls n' Ghosts
