What's the oldest PHYSICAL Nintendo game you own?

[Mr_No_U]

Technically, the oldest physical Nintendo game I own is the Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt combo cart (NES Zapper included). However, since most of my older consoles and games are currently inaccessible to me (long story short, they're in storage that is hard to get to), I will instead highlight this bad boy, which I do have on hand:

This is one of those masterpieces I still play almost yearly. I swear this game never gets old.

Sadly, the box and manual disappeared long ago.

 

[GamerJM]

There's a 1983 Game and Watch somewhere in my house.

 

[bellydrum]

Dragon Ball 3 Gokuden for the Famicom, release in 1989.

 

[Irene]

The good ol' Day 1 edition of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker with OoT and Master Quest

 

[Mr_No_U]

The good ol' Day 1 edition of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker with OoT and Master Quest

I have that! So good.

 

[Sadist]

I have a Donkey Kong Game & Watch, does that count?

 

[Deleted user]

Super Mario 64. Its still in pristine condition.

 

[Mbolibombo]

I've got the Parachute G&W which was released in 1981, gifted to me by my wifes dad who got it when he was hospitalized that year.
So that's pretty cool.

The oldest game that I got brand new was also a G&W, Snoopy Tennis which was originally released in 1982 which I got as a kid when I had the stomach flu But I think I got it in 1988-1989 or so

 

[Mr_No_U]

I have a Donkey Kong Game & Watch, does that count?

Absolutely

 

[Josh5890]

Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt for the NES.

Pretty sure I own about 30 different versions of SMB.

 

[Timefire]

I have a japanese Mother 2 still in box! It's my most prized posession, even if it's not as valuable as an US Earthbound cart

 

[BlueManifest]

Hey peeps, first post, my oldest is Mario bros for the nes, don’t think can get older than that

 

[nenned]

Super Mario Bros.

No, wait. I have a Game & Watch Donkey Kong from 1982. Does that count?

 

[Skittzo]

I don't actually know where it is at the moment but I do have a Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt cartridge.

 

[MaitreWakou]

Game and Watch Ball, Game and Watch Fire.
And console wise, a few black box NES games. (SMB, all the Donkey Kong games, Duck Hunt, Gyromite, Clu Clu Land)
Oh and Dragon Quest on Famicom, which released in Japan before the french NES.

 

[Raccoon]

I have a broken Super Mario Bros cartridge somewhere at home, but the oldest working thing I have is probably Ice Hockey. The oldest thing that's CIB is probably my prized copy of Chibi-Robo

 

[lyte edge]

Sold off the last of my NES, SNES, and N64 stuff a few years ago, so now the oldest games I have are some remaining Gameboy and Gameboy Color titles.

 

[tolkir]

+30 years with it.

 

[KilgoreWolfe]

I have boxed copies of Super Star Wars and Tetris Attack, although I think SSW is missing the manual.

 

[WestEgg]

I've got quite a few NES carts. Probably the Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt cart since I think that was a bundled launch game.

 

[Zalman]

I have a Donkey Kong Game & Watch from 1982. Probably that.

 

[Tanooki]

Tetris on Gameboy. It’s actually one of the only two games I have for the GB, the other being Super Mario Land. They were handed down to me by my dad, and were the first games I played on my own. This was like in 1998 though, but I was only a kid so it was still exciting lol.

 

[Clix]

I have gotten rid of quite a few things over the years unfortunately, because while now I have the means, I would be constantly selling or trading in games back in the day to be able to buy new games or a new console.

That said, I still have my Pokemon edition GBC and a copy of Mario Tennis

As for GameCube, got quite a few, but my most prized are Wind Waker and Paper Mario. I had two copies of Paper Mario. The launch version and a Player's Choice. The launch black box version was still sealed and just sold it on Ebay for $2,000. I am not a crazy collector and I play all my games, so just rather keep my already opened Player's Choice version.

 

[asagami_]

Super Mario Bros. for NES, later Tetris for Game Boy

 

[Cecil45]

Mario 64. Just the cart.

 

[VolcanicDynamo]

I recently received the 1984 Donkey Kong 3 Game & Watch as a gift. It's a weird little device with two controllers for multiplayer.

I gotta find a way to replace the battery, though. It wasn't working when I got it.

 

[Clov]

It's probably Devil World on Famicom.

 

[kimbo99]

Pokemon Blue

[CyberWolfJV]

Nintendo published? It's Super Mario World on SNES;

now, if we're talking games on Nintendo hardware, that would be Pac-Land on Famicom

 

[SlightlyMadGames]

I've a sealed New Super Mario Bros. Wii signed by Charles Martinet for the Nintendo Wii

 

[Tlozbj]

An old Gameboy with around 20 games that usee to belong to my aunt, and then passed on to me at around 4 - 5 year olds. The original Link's Awakening was my first Zelda game and beaten game overall. Though right now, I only know of the whereabouts of the LA cartridge. The GB and games should be somewhere in the house, but I ain't sure where.

 

[CMM1215]

For me it'd probably be my DK and DK Jr Game & Watches!

 

[Red Monster]

I’ve got Donkey Kong for NES. I don’t know if it works or not, I’ve never had an NES. I’m not sure where I got the cartridge.

 

[Pokemaniac]

Got a suitcase of NES games that used to belong to my cousin, so, probably something in that.

 

[lexony]

Nintendogs.

I know I know. As a kid I played on a borrowed GBA, on N64/SNES owned by the older brother of a friend, but personally I never had any older Nintendo console than a DS Lite.

 

[scamander]

My GameBoy Games are lost (I really don't know what happened to them OR the GameBoy itself) and I sold all my NES, SNES and N64 games and consoles and most valuable Gamecube games over time. Among those I still own is Pikmin, which was a launch title, so I would assume that's the oldest.

 

[Phendrift]

Mario 64 probably

 

[Stupid Horse]

I have a NES cartridge of SMB3, along with a cable-less NES I never got around to try - recovered it between the "junk" at my partner's. I should really buy the necessary cables and see if it's still working, and in case look up how much that thing could even be worth.

 

[Tangerine_Cookie]

A Famicom Disk System copy of the original Metroid.

I have it framed on my bedroom.

Second oldest is probably NES Golf?

EDIT: I actually don't know which game released first, given one is a Japanese copy and the other is a PAL-Spanish one

 

[Barthomolew]

A boxed copy of Pokémon Yellow. Wasn't my first game but it's the only one I've kept.

Had all 151 caught after I traded my Pikachu, the one who walks behind you, for a gamesharked Mew years later. No ragrets.

 

[Mr_No_U]

A Famicom Disk System copy of the original Metroid.

I have it framed on my bedroom.

Second oldest is probably NES Golf?

I've always wanted to own at least 1 Famicom Disk System game. Maybe one day.

I did see a random SMB2 Disk Card at an used game store, but the price was waaaaay to high for my tastes.

 

[Abzeronow]

Recently found 10 to 15 of my old NES carts. Zelda II proudly among them, and Mario 3 of course.

 

[Soul Skater]

Does this count?

 

[Fanto]

I still have my childhood copy of SMB 3 somewhere, likely in a box in my parent's basement.

 

[Mr_No_U]

Does this count?

 

[NarohDethan]

Must be a Pokemon Yellow a friend sold me in middle school.

 

[Rooster]

Have Devil World on Famicom, which, if in the initial run, is older than the NES.

 

[AndroidOS]

I also have a handful of Game and Watches, so I guess they'd be the earliest Nintendo games I have. Fairly sure I have Cement Factory, Donkey Kong and Zelda, though none were mine originally (they all came from various family members).

 

[Comic Obsessed]

A Link to the Past I think, I still love it up to this day.
