Evercade might be best known for its curated collections of retro classics, but dig a little deeper and you’ll find a genuinely impressive selection of NES games spread across the cartridge library. Whether you’re a lifelong Nintendo fan or just discovering these classics, here’s how to track them all down.
HOW MANY NES GAMES ARE ON EVERCADE?
According to our games by platform page, there are 116 NES games available across the Evercade cartridge library. That makes NES the second biggest platform group in the entire Evercade catalogue — only arcade games (204) have more entries.
That’s a serious number, and it covers a wide range of genres. Plenty to keep any NES fan happy.
WHERE TO FIND THE FULL LIST
The easiest place to start is our NES games on Evercade list. It shows all 116 titles in one place, each one linked directly to the cartridge it ships on. So if you spot a game you want, you’re just one click away from finding out exactly which cart to pick up.
It’s part of our broader Evercade Games Database, which covers all 797 games in the library grouped by platform, genre, and more. A genuinely useful tool if you’re building your collection.
WHICH CARTRIDGES HAVE THE MOST NES GAMES?
The NES games are spread across 29 Evercade cartridges. The biggest NES line-ups are on The Oliver Twins Collection (11), Codemasters Collection 1 (10), Indie Heroes Collection 2 (9) and Technōs Collection 1 (7). If you would rather browse by type of game, try the games by genre page.
LOOKING FOR RECOMMENDATIONS?
If you’d rather have someone point you in the right direction, we’ve put together a curated guide just for Nintendo fans: Best Evercade Cartridges for NES and SNES Fans. It highlights the carts most worth picking up if NES-era gaming is your thing.
Pair that with the full platform list and you’ve got a solid starting point — whether you’re new to Evercade or filling gaps in your collection.
DON’T FORGET THE MANUALS
One of the quieter highlights of the Evercade experience is the physical packaging — but if you want to go even deeper, our Carts & Manuals page includes scans of original game manuals. It’s a lovely bit of retro preservation, and well worth a browse if you’re the kind of person who actually read the manual back in the day.
NEW TO EVERCADE?
If you’re just getting started, it’s worth knowing that Evercade cartridges play across much of the Evercade range — from the compact Super Pocket handheld to the VS-R home console. Not sure which device is right for you, or whether a particular cartridge works on it? Our hardware comparison page breaks it all down.
