Man this article brings back memories. Guardian Legend was one of my favorite NES games. Remake GL in VR with an open world setting! Bayou Billy was pretty wild for the time--the light gun sequences were fun. I'm really surprised Blaster Master didn't make it on this list. And while not a nes title, Actraiser is worth an honorable mention.

Thanks so much for the feedback! Yeah, I plan to do more on this topic later, so I wanted to save a few games for a future piece. Actraiser is definitely going to be a topic.

I played the hell out of The Guardian Legend as a kid, and those passwords still haunt me in my adult life.

After10Ben2036d ago

I forgot about those. I can't believe how dedicated we were to our games back then. I remember having a paper covered in those codes, one wrong letter or number and ouch.

KwietStorm_BLM2036d ago

Yea man and that happened to me at least once. It was like a whole paragraph all for a one time use. Kids today growing up with checkpoints, manual saves, cloud backups, and backups to the backups.

Worth an actual click! Adventures of Bayou Billy and Operation Wolf were the last games I bought at KBToys before it vanished from the mall.

I saw the cover for Guardian Legend scrolling thru n4g and my heart jumped....I loved playing that game.

Vice! Seriously a strange but absolutely great game.

Grabbed it online for my NES mini.

Not sure what games you're playing to average 5 to 6 hours battery. Mariokart World and Zelda gets 2 and a half hours max.

gold_drake12h ago

not sure if its a successor or an upgrade.

and theres no way u get 5 hours.

1nsomniac6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Yea don’t think id get 6 hours in sleep mode!

I think there’s a lot of internal software issues with the battery management.

Sleep mode kills the battery almost as quick as playing games does. Playing switch 1 games seems to kill the battery faster than playing switch 2 games for the most part. Even playing a very, very basic switch 1 game seems to drain the battery much faster than I would expect it to.
