Who in the name of holy crap has mangled this once great list of NES games to a bum fuzzled mess of epic proportions?
[edit]This was once a great list of NES games to refer to whenever needed to look up release dates and publishers etc. Who messed this up? And why? Why did you do that? What were you thinking? You didn't make it better, you messed it up to all holy hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.13.239.154 (talk) 00:53, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
- It appears as though this list has been corrected. A big thank you to the person who did this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.13.229.156 (talk) 17:27, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
a few corrections
[edit]I think I've noticed a few mistakes in the list on this page. I'm new to commenting on Wikipedia, and so I'm not going to make any edits myself, but perhaps a more active member can verify these and make the necessary corrections.
The game "Cloud Master" looks like it was only released for the NES in Japan (well, for the Famicom). It was released in North America, but for the Sega Master System, not the NES, as far as I can tell.
Three games ("Ms. Pac-Man", "Pac-Man", and "R.B.I. Baseball") are listed twice: once under the licensed games, and once under the unlicensed games. Are there multiple versions of any of these? I think they're all really only unlicensed games, and shouldn't be duplicated here.
Since there's a clear temporal divide between unlicensed games contemporary with the lifespan of the console (1995 and earlier) and homebrew games (2007 and later), perhaps the "Unlicensed" section should be split into two sections: "Unlicensed" and "Homebrew". More a suggested improvement than a correction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.60.254.11 (talk) 15:18, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
- I'll suggest too that homebrews should be removed or separated. They're in a class of their own. 1) They don't see wide distribution like in toy stores back then. 2) Nintendo doesn't care anymore. 66.114.93.6 (talk) 02:09, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
- Regarding the games Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man and R.B.I. Baseball being listed twice: Ms. Pac-Man is available as a licensed game from Namco and an unlicensed game by Tengen. Same goes for Pac-Man. As far as R.B.I. Baseball goes, I took the liberty of removing it from the list of licensed games. I have looked at images of the cartridge and box art available on Google and also a scan of the manual (http://www.digitpress.com/library/manuals/nes/RBI%20Baseball.pdf) but there is no mention of it being licensed by Nintendo. If someone can find information to back up the claim, feel free to add it back. 85.24.163.217 (talk) 04:00, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- The three earliest Tengen releases, Pac-Man, R.B.I. Baseball, and Gauntlet, do indeed have licensed releases and should be included on this page. The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengen_(company) article mentions this (although it has a dodgy-looking source that no longer exists). For a better source, you could check out the Gaming Historian's work here (https://www.theregister.com/2015/07/25/happy_30th_anniversary_tengen_you_fought_the_video_game_law_and_the_law_won/?page=2) or here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLA_d9q6ySs) Brideck (talk) 14:27, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
Gauntlet
[edit]Gauntlet I was an unlicensed game, at least originally. I don't know if they made a liscenced version later, but it should probably be listed, despite its huge popularity, under unlicensed games. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soco79 (talk • contribs) 15:07, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
Metroid
[edit]Game is listed as a August 1986 North American release, when the wiki page for Metroid lists the release date as August 1987. No changes made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.227.249.195 (talk) 23:53, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Do unreleased games count in the opening tally?
[edit]Of the games library, I mean, mentioned at the start of the article. 68.156.95.34 (talk) 05:36, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
where are the sales figures?
[edit]How can you gauge which games were significant if the sales figures aren't listed? Also why release the North America and European release dates and not the Japanese? And how many European nations did Nintendo sell games in? Are those sales any significant amount for the NES? Dream Focus 16:46, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
The Flintstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak
[edit]It's wiki page says that it was released in 1993, not 1994 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.84.56.29 (talk) 17:36, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
714 games
[edit]There are 35 PAL games. The list is missing Rainbow Islands. It is different from the North American realease. I used the mexican runners guide to figure out what was off. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KDNGI76HoMNyYLL6RqWu4PqUbw-lI920tf7QTclnLLE/edit — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.119.191.118 (talk) 22:25, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
Release Date Format
[edit]I came here to try to list the games by release date, however, the format is currently in Month-Year format with the month in words which makes this impossible. Not to mention that some don't have the months listed. I think it should probably be in year-month format with both the year and month listed numerically since this makes sorting possible (and removes problems where the release month isn't available).

Merger Proposal
[edit]- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- The result of this discussion was to merge. SuperGamer06 (talk) 20:07, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
I propose that List of Family Computer games be merged into this article. The Famicom and NES are practically the same thing! There's only regional difference. It's also more work and unnecessary stuff for all. I can't merge them completely, since I'm an IP, so could someone help? 184.13.54.213 (talk) 01:15, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
- I agree! Snes had 2 separeted lists and was merged as well, there´s no point to have those 2 lists separeted just because the product names are different, since the hardware is the same, they even had adaptors to each other. It woul be the same as if we separeted playstation 4 games into 3 lists, one for US, one for EU and other for JP. Ogat (talk) 21:27, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
- Good! Now we have 2 people. We have to wait for more, though... 184.13.69.214 (talk) 08:34, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- If no objections are raised here or at the other article's talk page, feel free to go ahead. Clearly, a discussion already occurred over SNES/Super Famicon and consensus was reached to do the same thing. It makes sense to follow suite here. Heck, I would help if I had the time. Jtrevor99 (talk) 15:11, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- Good! Now we have 2 people. We have to wait for more, though... 184.13.69.214 (talk) 08:34, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
Alright, as long as there's consensus! I need a user to delete the Famicom list though. 184.13.40.127 (talk) 19:18, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- Best practice is to create the merged page and then change the deprecated page(s) into redirects. See WP:ATD-M and, more generally, WP:DELETE. Jtrevor99 (talk) 20:02, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- The problem is, I think I need an account to make a page, and I'm not allowed to, so someone else needs to help... 184.13.40.127 (talk) 21:06, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- Never mind, I have it now! I'll try to start the merge soon. SuperGamer06 (talk) 05:03, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
Some games were also released in PAL region
[edit]WWF Superstars, WWF Wrestlemania Challenge and WWF Steel cage Challenge were also PAL games, not Ameriscan only. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.224.32.158 (talk) 10:44, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- Your source? SuperGamer06 (talk) 01:33, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
Dates of early releases
[edit]Why are the release dates for Donkey Kong Jr. Math, Mach Rider and Soccer being changed, particularly within their own articles? I was not able to find a single source supporting the new dates, and the sources cited within those articles supports the old ones.
For context, the original dates were October 18, 1985 for Soccer, June 1986 for Donkey Kong Jr. Math, and August 1986 for Mach Rider. The new ones are March 1987 for Soccer, and October 18, 1985 for Donkey Kong Jr. Math and Mach Rider. This seems false to me, but does the user who changed this have a source backing up his or her claims?2601:646:8C00:643B:E997:74B5:8DC8:975B (talk) 23:21, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
The source for the "new" bad dates is Nintendo themselves. They had (still have?) a widely circulated list of NES games with release dates that have a bunch of errors in it. Games like DK Jr. Math, Mach Rider, Soccer, and even Metroid have incorrect dates in that document. Contemporaneous game reviews, copyright dates, and evidence from the manufacture of the physical games themselves should be (and have been) used to refute these dates. It heartens me that you came into this Talk page thinking that the correct dates are actually correct, as that indicates a potential change in the knowledge of the masses. But there are still going to be people out there who assume that Nintendo can't possibly be wrong about these things. Brideck (talk) 13:59, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
Merger proposal
[edit]- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- The result of this discussion was merge. HOGOKI (talk) 03:28, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
Greetings, fellow Wikipedians: I am now proposing a merger of List of Family Computer games with this article. Said merger seems to be necessary because the respective pages for the SNES and Super Famicom were merged for the same reasons. I hope we can make the merged article even better than the original two. Sayounara! HOGOKI (talk) 21:01, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
New Unlicensed Games
[edit]As there is a section for unlicensed games released after the consoles lifespan, should we include the games from retrousb.com? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ColeShrop (talk • contribs) 03:37, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
Mindscape developers
[edit]Mindscape were not developers, they were publishers. See Eastridge Technology / Gray Matter for actual developers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Megamansec (talk • contribs) 01:59, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
Unfinished Merge
[edit]Three years ago, a user named SuperGamer06 made a merger proposal, which was accepted, but the merge never happened. I want permission to finish the job. Thing is, I don't think SuperGamer06 is active. Please reply if you knows how to help. Ludexteria (talk) 21:19, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
SuperGamer06 here, you've got more than enough permission to do it. I tried to do the merger but I don't have the free time anymore and I got locked out of my account. I might help you out once I can figure out a way to do it faster than I tried to back then... 184.14.158.117 (talk) 23:15, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
Alright, should I create a new article or add all the content from the Famicom article to this article?Ludexteria (talk) 17:45, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- I’d recommend adding all the content to this article then replacing the Famicon list article with a redirect to this one. Thanks for your work. Jtrevor99 (talk) 01:46, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- As you might have noticed, nothing has really happened ever since this happened. That is because this page has so much content that the editor is SLOW and I don't have the attention span for that. So if someone else is willing to help, go for it. Ludexteria (talk) 20:24, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
Hey, so it’s been a little over a year since I wrote here, but I just wanted to apologise for getting everyone’s hopes up about this. I didn’t think of the difficulties and how large of a project this would be so I gave up and I just wanted to apologise for that and for breaking my promise. Since this page is too big for my computer, I might attempt to make a new page, but no promises. Goodbye, and I’m sorry. Ludexteria (talk) 19:44, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

- Looks like you're right - I get 672 + 2, but that's because I didn't count the two versions of Pac-Man as separate games. If one does count those as two games then I also get 673 + 2. Good catch! If you're willing, the other numbers probably should be checked too. (Hopefully those are right - I think my error was in subtracting compilations from the NA count that weren't released in NA, such as Super Mario Bros./Tetris/Nintendo World Cup.)

Merger proposal
[edit]- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- The discussion was Closed. Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 01:43, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
I propose merging List of Famicom games into List of Nintendo Entertainment System games. This was brought up here and I decided to do a proper approach at discussing a merger proposal as per WP:MERGE. Both lists are practically the same and have a large overlap. I suggest protecting/salting the Famicom list due to being merged multiple times in the past. Pinging @NakhlaMan, Sergecross73, TheJoebro64, and Ferret: Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 21:24, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Might be best to keep the discussion at the Wikiproject, as there's already more participants over there. Which was why I started the discussion there - pages like this often don't get much traffic from the sort of editors that discuss policy like this. Sergecross73 msg me 23:16, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- I guess I’ll close this then. Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 01:39, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
Unlicensed games lists
[edit]I believe all the unlicensed games should be in one list, not separate lists. Nate-Dawg921 (talk) 18:15, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
Kyuukyoku Harikiri Stadium '88 is not another game
[edit]is just a update/revision of the Kyuukyoku Harikiri Stadium. 177.86.21.18 (talk) 17:19, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
Actual number of licensed games
[edit]There are actually 1395 licensed games. I counted. And there are 2 versions of Pac-Man that should be separated. Nate-Dawg921 (talk) 19:15, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- The two versions of Pac-Man doesn't have any major differences and are thus considered the same game. It's not like a Star Force or Maniac Mansion situation where there are two completely different ports of the same game. 85.164.12.33 (talk) 19:00, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
- Nonetheless, they should be separate. Nate-Dawg921 (talk) 17:27, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Famicom/NES video game regions listing
[edit]I think the list of officially licensed Famicom/NES video games by region and release date should be listed as "Japan", "North America" and "Europe/PAL regions" in that order just like all the other video game lists by console (since the NES first came out in Japan as the "Family Computer" and later in North America and PAL regions as the "Nintendo Entertainment System"), not as "Europe/PAL regions","Japan" and "North America". Could someone rearrange the regions and release dates from "Europe/PAL regions", "Japan" and "North America" to "Japan", "North America" and "Europe/PAL regions", please? ArthurRead1976 (talk) 14:21, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- That would take a fair amount of tedious manual work; you are welcome to do so. Jtrevor99 (talk) 15:45, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Suggestion regarding the current article name
[edit]A while ago the article List of Famicom games was merged into this article, however I feel like as a result of the merger it has made the current name of this article inaccurate to the contents it contains. To quote the first sentence of this article "This is a list of games for the Japan-only Family Computer (Famicom) home video game console (1983) which was rebranded as the Nintendo Entertainment System in NTSC and PAL regions (1985 & 1986 respectively).". As such I would like to suggest the article be renamed to List of Family Computer and Nintendo Entertainment System games as not only does the article contents consider the Famicom and NES distinct systems but the Japanese cartridges are not for NES, they're for a specific type of 8-bit Nintendo system. You can even see the images in the article how different the cartridge formats are between Famicom and NES. Bro3256 (talk) 02:01, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- The systems are not distinct, despite the regional differences. On English Wikipedia they are seen as the same system, and this list follows the common English name. This article does not distinguish them as separate systems: As you quoted before, it denotes the system was rebranded. -- ferret (talk) 02:10, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- How is it a regional variant? Keep and mind the Famicom was not a Japan-only system as it had official releases in Taiwan and most notably Hong Kong, where that region in particular is the only one to have official releases of both the NES and Famicom in 1986 and 1991 respectively. You can't really tie the Famicom as a regional variant due to this on top of the two systems being very different functionality wise. The hardware is mostly identical but the two systems are not. In South Korea, the Hyundai Comboy would be a regional variant as it uses the same design as the NES. You can't say that about the Famicom because inherently it's a completely different system. A Famicom does not magically turn into an NES when it crosses country borders. Bro3256 (talk) 03:36, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- exactly. upvoting this

Add Donkey Kong Classics to the compilations???
[edit]Just found DK Classics is just a two in one cart that has OG DK and DK Jr. in one cart. Although Nintendo of America's list labels it as a seperate game unlike the multi 3 combo carts like the Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt.
Still should I add it to that section there is LITERALLY NO DIFFERENCES AT ALL. NakhlaMan (talk) 15:07, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Add a seperate section for Konami "Q-ta" Adaptor games?
[edit]Mainly because 1. The games were not sold commerically. 2. They DON'T qualify as games.
Is everyone cool with that? NakhlaMan (talk) 13:04, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- @NakhlaMan: No, there is no reason for that or any of the other arbitrary exceptions that anyone else could have always made that are actually satisfied by table columns or by notes. #1 is irrelevant and #2 is false. They obviously are games, and every source via google calls them games. Also, please stop spamming thousands of arbitrary tiny edits instead of just exercising any patience or using a sandbox. Thank you! — Smuckola(talk) 05:02, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- What is a sandbox???
- Also I apologize for that but I struggle to come up with labling stuff like this as an acutal "game" because there is not a heap of information to back it up.
- You want me to get rid of the section and restore them on the main mother list? NakhlaMan (talk) 09:14, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- Well if no one is gonna reply then I will leave it as it is and keep on editing the list. NakhlaMan (talk) 06:00, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
