Review: The NES Classic Edition and all 30 games on it

I had Mortal Kombat 2 on there until right at the end. I considered the ones you mentioned. Earthworm Jim seems more like a Genesis game to me, and I didn't think Capcom would be too keen on giving Nintendo all their Mega Man games, considering they like to repackage and resell them about once every couple of years.

Again, I'm not saying my list is definitive and there are no other worthy contenders. It was mainly something I put together based on the games included in the NES Classic, what was really popular, what would likely not be too hard to get the rights to include, and my own personal preferences to a degree.

Also, many would argue the SNES was when JRPGs were at their height and the main thing that differentiated the platform compared to the Genesis.

I was going to argue that if one was going to include an MMX game, it might as well be X3, because it had a different ending than then Saturn/PSX port that more people have played. However, doing some searching, I can't find any evidence for that now. Oh well, any of them would do -- all three were good.

This, I can't argue with. Now that I think about it, a lot of the SNES titles I've played were JRPGs.
