The system that took the world by storm boasts a game library that proves the Nintendo difference can still shine through after over 20 years. Gaze up at the Nintendo Entertainment Systems towering pile of over 500 titles, and youll spot classics like the original The Legend of Zelda, Rares superlative racer R.C. Pro-Am, and the divine Super Mario Bros - the Shigeru Miyamoto-developed side-scrolling platformer that arguably started it all. Old, but solid gold. Less
