Mega Man

The game that jayengelheart2 credits as raising him, Mega Man is one of the most popular franchises in all of Nintendo history. Now with over a dozen versions that span across the multiple Nintendo consoles produced in the past two decades, Mega Man has evolved while staying true to its roots. More recent versions have similar makeup for the bosses while also carrying the high levels of difficulty this series has become notorious for.

Mortal Kombat

With the elements of fighter-on-fighter action mixed with creative character development and violent brutality, Mortal Kombat earned itself an irreplaceable spot in arcades as well as in home consoles.

Goldeneye 007
