As a 2001 born, most of the ones that get brought up as good games, are. Really I think the NES is when console games got advanced enough to “age well.”
It’s always interesting to hear from younger people playing games much older than themselves and what their impressions of them are without the cultural context of the time or sometimes even an understanding of hardware limitations. In my case that’s usually just hearing from youtubers, but your opinion seems the prevalent one from what I can tell, which is nice to hear.
A lot, especially compared to the Atari games which caused the US vg crash. So the seal of quality and limit on amount of games allowed to be published actually meant something.
I get what you’re saying but this question is the wrong one.
How many NES games are actually good?

NES games were actually quite expensive. Games were at their cheapest around PS1-X360. Which I would also argue were the best times for games.
I think you forgot how many absolutely trash games were being made.
I haven’t, there’s always trash being made. But the quality and amount of great faves was definitely higher then than it is now
Cartridge games yeah, I was alive and buying 60-80 dollar N64 games. I agree with your peak era opinion.
I think 360/PS3 middle of their lifespan was the beginning of the decline, but that was gradual.

I don’t agree. Out of 1370 games maybe 80 are good.
OK, let’s settle with mediocre instead.
Compared to what? You don’t hear of nearly as many people trying to run PS1 roms…
