We Can Only Pick 3 NES Games... Who Drafted Better? - Vs. 67
What are the BEST NES games ever released? Kevin and Kyle are settling the debate the only way they know how: with a Top 3 draft, some questionable decisions, and plenty of retro gaming arguments! 🎮🔥
Welcome to Vs. 67 of The Terrible Gamers Podcast, where we're going back to the golden age of the Nintendo Entertainment System to draft our favorite games from the NES's first decade, spanning 1985 through 1994!
But there's a twist: we're working from a restricted list of 30 classic NES games. Once one of us picks a game, it's officially OFF THE BOARD! That means every pick matters, every decision could change the draft, and stealing a must-have game from the other host could make or break the entire list.
We're talking legendary Nintendo classics like The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. 3, Castlevania, Contra, Tetris, DuckTales, and more. Which games deserve a spot in our ultimate Top 3 NES draft? Are we choosing the most iconic games, the ones we loved growing up, or the titles we'd still happily play today?
Kevin and Kyle reveal their picks, defend their choices, and debate which lineup comes out on top. There's nostalgia, friendly trash talk, unexpected selections, and plenty of reasons for NES fans to disagree with us!
If you love NES games, Nintendo Entertainment System classics, 8-bit gaming, retro video games, classic Nintendo games, 1980s gaming, 1990s gaming, and retro gaming podcasts, this is a draft you won't want to miss.
🎮 YOUR TURN: What are YOUR Top 3 NES games from this list? Would you draft Zelda, Mario, Contra, Tetris, or something completely different? Tell us your picks in the comments!
