I'm putting together a retro gaming night for some friends and want to focus on NES classics that are still genuinely fun and accessible for a group, not just historically important. While everyone knows Super Mario Bros. 3 and The Legend of Zelda, I'm looking for those slightly deeper cuts that have great multiplayer or are fun to pass the controller around. For collectors and retro enthusiasts, what are your go-to NES games for a social setting, and which titles have you found hold up the best in terms of gameplay and controls for people who didn't grow up with the system?
