So I started wondering about this earlier today.....I have a few in mind, but what would you say the prettiest game on NES is...
I'm thinking possibly a Mega Man game or maybe Little Nemo...

Mighty final fight
Batman is pretty amazing looking. That intro is astounding for an NES title
Little Samson
Kirby
Little Nemo
Mega Man games
Gimmick!
The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game was pretty good-looking, and ended-up using the NES's graphical limits to its advantage with a sort of gritty appearance in the pixel-based backgrounds and characters.
Are you talking about this one

Or the Arcade one

Also there needs to be more photo's in this thread
That batman return of the joker game is pretty amazing looking for NES.
I agree! The music was really good too. I always liked the Ninja Gaiden castle pose cut scene's.Quote:

Crisis Force for the famicom (I can't upload a picture for whatever reason, but it is a beautiful almost 16 bit looking shooter and looks more like it belongs on the pc engine than the famicom/nes

Nobody mentioned Battle Toads yet???? What about Shatter Hand? I remember being very impressed by both of these back in the day.
Mario 3
Life Force
Dare I say it, but Street Fighter 2010. Very detailed, futuristic, post apocalyptic looking backdrops.
Ninja Gaiden 2 and 3
Willow, Kirby's Adventure, the Mega Man series, the Castlevania series.
Chris
I remember Rescue Rangers being among the best-looking, but it's been a long time since I've played it. I agree with the Ninja Gaidens and Castlevanias being up there. I'd add Faxanadu which looks a lot like Castlevania.
2 PC ports which looked very good on the NES: Defender of the Crown and The Immortal
Street Fighter 2010 is very stylish with some vibrant stages.
Agreed, 3 really looks good see the swamp stage.Quote:

This one is so gorgeous it makes my nipples hard just thinking about it.

and I never even took it out of the box.
Anyway uh....I was gonna say Zen: the intergalactic ninja, but it actually looks like crap after seeing it again.
Ch Ch Ch Chip n Dales Rescue Rangers
Also one of the later Mega Man's
and I might throw in Castlevania 3
Was Rescue Rangers better than Rescue Rangers 2?
Duck Tales 2 was not as awesome as 1.
What's the Mattel version of the NES as mentioned on the box? Strange...Quote:

Very pretty game here. Metal Storm does a lot with the NES.
IDk how to link it straight from youtube.
Anything from Rare.
Castlevania III is such a mess. Color pallette all over the place, randomly it seems. Just looks like a hodgepodge of shit everywhere.
Not to say it's ugly. It's an uglypretty game.
I didn't get a chance to link Youtube in my previous post, so here are a few of the games I mentioned earlier:
I'm pretty sure chip n dale had the best music on the NES. Damn I loved that fucking game.Quote:

On-topic, I'm going to toss a vote out for the infamous Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; specifically, the stages with Dr. Jekyll. I always thought those stages looked outstanding...clean, crisp, and picturesque. King's Quest V is another overlooked choice for different points of view (from a variety standpoint alone I'd say it takes it), although it obviously can't compete with the PC version. Good effort regardless.
I all ready linked a video of metal storm on page 1 of this thread.Quote:

Dragon Spirit - The New Legend. I seriously thought that the NES version was actually BETTER than the Turbografx-16 version.
This vid ruined my childhood. I had the hardest time beating this game back in the day, then I see these guys float through half the freaking levels on the balloons and I'm like WTF? How come I didn't think of that...Quote:

Maybe my memory is bad. It's been probably 15 years since I've played it... but it certainly wasn't as easy as they made it look in the video.Quote:

Maybe that's why I wasn't able to take advantage of that. It's been so long since I've played this game that I don't remember much about it.Quote:
