100 A buttons

VIDEO: See what happens when we press "A" in 100 NES games

Words: Joe McNeilly, GamesRadar US

How many times in your life have you pressed “A” on a NES controller? Though we may not specifically remember every single occurrence of A-button pressage, we are left with a lingering sense of what that little red dynamo could do. Jumping, mostly, and sometimes shooting or punching or maybe some other stuff if it was one of those weird games. This video will help you remember at least 100 of the times you pressed “A,” and since we know you have a full schedule of wasting time on the internet ahead of you we made it under two minutes (short).

Next page: The list of games that appeared in the video!

It feels weird that I recognized almost every game you used in the video. Even though I didn't grow up in the NES era.

Isn't it sad I recognized most of those?

Actually, I take that back:

Isn't it awesome I recognized most of those?

Only a few that made me wonder what they were ... knew most of them even though I didn't have the chance to play most of them ... I blame my subscription as a kid to Nintendo Power, and the fact I read each one over and over and over...

there was an Aladdin game for NES? Was it based on the Genesis version?

I recognized a good majority of those games. A lot of greats, many not so greats and a lot that you could have had.
