Logan's Top 10 NES Games

My son Logan (age 7) has opinions. Strong ones. Here's his definitive ranking of the best NES games.

  1. Super Mario Bros. 3 — "The raccoon tail is the best power-up ever"
  2. Mega Man 2 — "The music is so cool and the bosses are actually hard"
  3. DuckTales — "The pogo jump is amazing"
  4. Contra — "The spread gun makes everything explode"
  5. Punch-Out!! — "I like punching Mike Tyson"
  6. Zelda — "It's like Minecraft but you save a princess"
  7. Castlevania — "The whip is cool but the stairs are annoying"
  8. Blaster Master — "You get a tank AND a gun? That's awesome"
  9. Metroid — "Why is Samus a girl at the end? That's so cool"
  10. Battletoads — "This game is impossible but the toads are funny"

There you have it. The kid has taste.
