Yes, Castlevania 1, 2 and 3 for the NES was the best.

As for Tecmo Super Bowl, its funny that is the best football game for the NES, and how long that held up. Today, a sports game needs replacing every year.

Oh my so many...

Growing up, Zelda, Metroid and Mario1 and 3 were highlights of the NES.

LttP, Super Metroid, f-zero on SNES

Turok 2, Goldeneye, Rogue Squadron, Podracer, Mario 64, Ocarina of Time (although I still feel that this game held you by the hand too much and kinda cheapened it for me.) for N64

Can't say much about the cube...I totally skipped this past generation.

DS: Advance Wars DS: I have never spent so much time on one game as I have with this one. Just pure crack. I love it!

Maybe in a year, I'll get a Wii.

for me it is a close tie between super metroid and a link to the past for snes.

My two favorite games of all time are tied with each other and happen to be Nintendo games. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Super Mario Brothers 3. Two amazing games.

No. So is that one of your favorites? I never played it too much because I got Joust and thought the NES version played very similarly to the arcade version. Sometimes the knock-offs were more fun than the originals. Is that the case with Balloon Fight vs. Joust?

Yeah, if you can ignore the suffocating fog in the first game, the insane difficulty of the second, and the sloppy on-foot missions of the third.

There were a few occasions where I was at a friends house and played a game with them before I was 13 but only a few. I never felt I was that good at them. Was there a Mario Cart on the SNES because I remember always ending up going the wrong way with that flying guy (Lakitu) flashing.
At another in 96 , I may have actually played the first Zelda because I remember the screen would move up/down when I pressed start. Didn't get anywhere except I may have died a few times. Same place, I also played this multiplayer game where we had to kill these grusome zombies. One of the stages (I think it was called Terror in Asile 3) took place in a shopping center.
Another time when a bunch of people were playing Goldeneye, I didn't want to try vs. mode because I was afraid of dying in the first 10 seconds. But I managed to try the solo mission for a while and quickly started to feel like I was going to throw up.

My other favorite games include Diddy Kong Racing, Majora's Mask, Soul Caliber II and Super Smash Bros. Melee.
I think Majora's Mask was the perfect sequel to Ocarina. They were smart not to rehash the storyline. That could not be topped but they made it superior in every technical aspect. No small feat since many games that come out today have far worse gameplay or controls than Ocarina. Characters moved around rather than staying in the same place with the same line. There were many differences between the 3 days. The fairy and owl didn't bother you all the time. Enemies had much smoother movement. The areas were much larger and felt more immersive. The graphics were more detailed than OoT which already looked next generation to some N64 games. In fact, with the greater clarity on the Zelda collector's disc, I thought MM graphics could pass for the gamecube.
The thing about OoT is that there are so many strong themes that I have only gradually been able to appreciate over the years. By working on multiple levels, it truly is a game for Everyone (E), not just merely appropriate for all ages. To have that much depth (without being too heavy) for adults and yet still be a blast for kids is amazing, something not only rare in videogames but books and movies as well.

Take back the trilogy. Execute Order '77

NES: Lengend of Zelda, Duck Hunt, Mario Bros. 3, Battle Toads (Excite Bike, and Ninja Turtles 2 are also worthy of mention)
SNES: A Link to the Past, Star Fox, Donkey Kong Country
Gameboy: Link's Awakening, Tetris
N64: Ocarnia of Time, Star Fox 64, Shadows of the Empire, Goldeneye (would say Perfect Dark, but GE had much better replay value in single player)
Gamecube: Never played it. I was excited about it for the new Zelda game (WW), but after I saw how it looked I lost most my interest, then once I saw it played I lost all the rest of my interest.
DS: Never played it.
Wii: Never played it. But I am interested in trying out Twilight Princess. Probably I will just buy a used Gamecube and get the GC version.
