You'll Cowards Don't Even Play Licensed NES Games
But you should. And no, we're not counting celebrity-endorsed and/or league-licensed sports games. Only NA/PAL releases.
If I missed anything, or if I very understandably somehow ended up with the wrong version of the multiple entries virtually every game on this list has, drop me a message/comment.
Currently missing Fisher Price: I Can Remember and Super Jeopardy. IGDB issues.
