Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man, Metroid... the best NES games are all classics. They aren't just fantastic video games in their own right, but experiences that helped to establish Nintendo's biggest franchises and make the manufacturer a force to be reckoned with in the industry. We debate the ten best titles of the NES library, and (spoiler alert!) we don't all agree.

We'll also be discussing how the US Department of Homeland Security has awarded a nearly $700,000 grant to investigate "radicalization" through video games, how Sony's head of PlayStation Indies says PS Plus should be used to manage the lifecycle of a game, Logitech's officially announced $350 gaming handheld, and Cyberpunk 2077's one million player revival.

Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the history of the survival horror game Sweet Home on the Famicom.
