Every Officially Released NES Game (US)

Said 'fuck it', might as well make a list of every single official licensed NES release since I haven't seen one on Backloggd yet. Games organized in rough release order, also some listings might be wrong because keeping track of 600 games is not easy. Also also IGDB listings are still in flux so some of the NES ports won't be split from their original release just yet.

I respect the hustle, though just to be sure, you know you can filter by platform when looking at games on here, right?

ok i had forgotten the filter by platform but the other thing is I wanted to weed out homebrews and unlicensed games so I could just have a list of official releases.

This is incredible

That's fair, those get annoying to see when you're not trying to find them.

It takes one second to look at how Backloggd filters NES games to understand how much more readable this is in comparison. It gives a much better sense of the timeline of NES releases, even if NES release dates are contentious! Fantastic stuff.

Fantastic list. Plans to do any other Nintendo consoles? I’d understand if not given the massive undertaking this must’ve been.

Probably not, the list editor becomes super unwieldy the larger the number of items it has, you have to do so much scrolling just to bring one game down to the very bottom. Most other Nintendo consoles have much bigger libraries so making lists for those would be a nightmare. Maybe I can try Nintendo 64 in the future, since that's only about half of this.
