I'm talking ORIGINAL 4-bit Nintendo, even before Super Nintendo.

I'll throw out a few classics for general consideration (ranked roughly by my enjoyment):

1. Blades of Steel
2. Final Fantasy
3. Ice Hockey (challenge anybody here to tell me why 1 fat guy, 1 skinny guy, and 2 medium guys wasn't the best combo)
4. NHL 94 (unsurpassed by any subsequent NHLs -- better than 93 b/c it had one-timers, better than 95 and later versions, b/c it still had fighting and blood)
5. Megaman 2 (anybody?)

Nitpick NES was 8 bit.

Blades of Steel and Tetris get my votes.

Mike Tyson's Punchout!!
Contra
Super Mario Brothers 3

Close thread.

Honorable Mentions:

Karate Kid
Karate Champ
Ninja Gaiden
Paperboy
Super Mario Bros.

damnit duck hunt of course -- had to borrow my friend's game and gun though b/c my parents wouldn't let me get DH b/c they thought it was too violent.

For some reason in punchout, my retarded ass could never even beat the 2nd guy.

and I am the best NHL 94 player in the world. No joke, and no false hubris here!

My list of top NES games:

Super Tecmo Bowl
RBI
Metroid
Zelda

4 fat guys were the worst combo. They never touched the puck b/c they were so slow. Opponent just passed and passed at will.

Fav party was the bench-clearing brawls, and at the end of it the ref would go into the scrum and get 2 players to put in the penalty box, and it was always suspenseful waiting to see who he pulled out cuz more often than not he'd somehow grab two guys on your team. doh!

Agreed w/ RBI baseball, and my bad on excluding Zelda.

All of the passing and fast skating does not mean anything because the skinny and medium guys cannot score against a good goalie. Also, the skinny and medium guys are worthless on defense against the fat guys becuase they fall over when they run into the fat guys. So it doesn't matter how slow the fat guys are because nothing happens if the smaller guys touch them. I only wish I could play you to prove that I am right, because that is the only way to truly settle this dispute. I used to use a hybrid lineup like you until I realized the error of my ways.
