The Nintendo Entertainment System with controller
The Family Computer, commonly known as the Famicom, exclusively released in Japan

The best-selling video game of all-time on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) console, known as the Family Computer (Famicom) in Japan, is Super Mario Bros. First released in Japan on September 18, 1985, it went on to sell over 40 million units worldwide, making it the eight best-selling video game of all-time.[1] The game's two sequels on the NES are also featured in the top five best-selling games on the platform – Super Mario Bros. 2 sold 7.46 million units to rank fourth, while Super Mario Bros. 3 sold in excess of 17 million copies to rank third.[2]Duck Hunt is the second best-selling game on the NES, selling over 28 million copies worldwide.[3]

Top 10 Lists: The Top 10 Famicom-Exclusive Games #1: Final Fantasy III (Famicom). #2: Digital Devil Monogatari: Megami Tensei (Famicom) Of all the games on this list. #3: Mahjong Taisen (Famicom) Mahjong Taisen is a niche title if there ever was one - in essence. #4: Ninjara Hoi! Introduction Some of those reading this list probably remember a similar Top 10 List I published a few months ago (quite longer ago than I intended), entitled 'The Top 10 NES & Famicom Games', a list that attempted to narrow down the best ten games on the NES, known in Japan as the Family Computer (or Famicom, or FC). Super Famicom imports guide: the best Japan-only SNES games. There are lots of translation patches. We’ll link to the ones in this list that have them, but there’s a robust translation scene for the system, and if you have a RetroN 5, you can even run patches with real cartridges of the game. It works great. We like it a lot. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System might be the greatest game console ever made. Check out our picks for the best SNES games, including classic first-party games like The Legend of Zelda: A. Mar 13, 2012  A few great Famicom games off the top of my head. Many of these you can get either on a multi-cart or included on one of those Famiclone pirates that are so popular in the malls these days.

A total of 75 NES/Famicom games have sold over a million units. Of those, 31 titles were developed by internal Nintendo development divisions. Aside from these, the developer with the most million-selling games is Capcom, with seven games in the list of 75. Nintendo published 41 of these 75 games. Other publishers with multiple million-selling titles include Capcom (seven games), Konami (six games), Bandai and Hudson Soft (five games each), Enix and Namco (both four games). The most popular franchises on NES include Super Mario (67.63 million combined units), Dragon Quest (10.975 million combined units) and The Legend of Zelda (10.89 million combined units).
