Ever wonder what the best selling old Nintendo game was? The Nintendo Entertainment System launched in 1985 across North America, and had a full six years of exclusivity before the Super Nintendo Entertainment System debuted in 1991. Although the new system launched, most people were not early adopters of this new revolutionary Super Nintendo. People were still enthralled by the old Nintendo game system, which helped sales continue throughout the 1990′s.
Here is a list of the top selling old Nintendo games:
- 40.23 million – Super Mario Brothers
- 18 million – Super Mario Brothers 3
- 10 million – Super Mario Brothers 2
- 6.51 million – The Legend of Zelda
- 4.38 million- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
- 4 million – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- 3.8 million – Dragon Warrior III
- 3.1 million- Dragon Warrior IV
- 2.46 million – Golf
- 2.4 million – Dragon Warrior II
- 2.35 million – Baseball
- 2.13 million – Mahjong
- 2.05 million – Family Stadium
- 1.81 million – Tetris
- 1.67 – Duck Tales
One thing worth noting is that Konami sales figures were never calculated. Konami was the maker of popular video game Contra. Contra was one of the most popular video games of its time, and to this day remains a timeless classic. Of the numbers that were recorded, it is clear that the original Mario Brothers was the most popular old Nintendo game!
