It came with Mario 1, 2, and 3, as well as Zelda 1 and 2 and two other obscure games I have never played.

I am beyond excited, I haven't played an actual NES set in over 20 years.

There are tons but you can't go wrong with Mega Man 2 and 3.

Get an emulator and a $12 gamepad LINK

Play every game for that console and others.

How is this even a debate?

Buy an Everdrive N8 flash cart. Trust me, it's worth it.

Should have waited for the mini with the preloaded games coming out next month. Would have had all those games plus 25 more.

Yeah, but you only get 30 and that's it...can't add more.

An Everdrive is the correct answer.

Haven't heard of Everdrive before, how does it work? Can I just put it in my NES and play any game?

Pretty much, just load the roms on the SD card and play games from that.

That is awesome, it won't frick up my NES will it? Is it pretty easy to use? Sorry for the million questions.

Edit: Also, how exactly does it work?

Nah, it shouldn't. There's plenty of info on the web about Everdrives.

Awesome, does using an SD card with it become difficult? I suck at this kind of stuff

Nah, it's all pretty simple. The SD card is a very necessary part, only way to put games onto the cartridge.
