Someone mentioned it a bit ago, I had completely forgotten about it: DuckTales was fucking awesome.
If you like sports games BaseWars is freaking awesome. Basic premise is a baseball team that is completely robotic, I think 3-4 differenty types of robots. You can start a season and as you win more games/money you can pimp out your robots with higher tech gear/weapons. If you are going to get tagged out on the bases, a battle ensues and you fight for the base. After your robots are strong enough you can basically just run around the bases and beat everyone up to score with a single.
Bubble Bobble! 1940, 1942, and all those awesome games... Think they go up to the 50s.
ummmm..... Mike Tyson's Punchout!
Here's a pretty extensive blog post I found concerning FFVII:

can't believe nobody mentioned Ninja Gadien 1-3. Very epic, very hard games.
Top Gun II and Stealth ATF were the 2 best air combat games for the system.
TETRIS!!!
Bomberman!
Gyyruss was an amazing overhead shooter. they still have never made anything quite like it since.
And of course my name sake, Faxanadu. Best side scrolling RPG ever.
Landing the plane in Top Gun is beyond human capabilities, robot or GTFO.
QFT rofl
I remember as a kid, I got to the point where I'd just drop the controller and walk away when the carrier came up, because in my mind I had finished the mission and knew I wasn't going to make the landing.
Also shame on all of you for not mentioning Spy Hunter or the original Metal Gear 1+2.
Edit: AND METROID RAGGH WTH IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE
For real. I was NEVER able to successfully land or refeul the planes in Top Gun.

AVGN about Top Gun, very funny. I love this guys videos.
Super Spike Volleyball was always cool.
Fix'd (there is no Metal Gear 2 on NES, the real MG2 never left japan... unless you like your Snake's Revenge fake snakes with hams for arms).
