Mega man 3 is awesome. It's really difficult though if you have never played mega man before. Its got more levels than any other mega man game on the nes, and its got the best soundtrack in my opinion. I also reccomend super C. Its way better than contra and less expencive as well! Its really awesome if you wanna play co-op with somebody else too. Super mario bros 3 is an absolute must. It may not have a save feature, but this game is so huge that you'll never want to stop playing it. castlevania 3 is also a must. the soundtrack is absolutly amazing...... and so is pretty much everything else. This game has a password system so you can continue where you left off. Chip n dale rescue rangers is just plain fun. The 2 player co-op is the best I'Ve played on NES. Bubble bobble is a must as well. It's got a 2 player mode, 100 levels, a password system, and after you beat the game, you can beat it in a whole different difficulty. Hope I helped!

Which one do you think is the best to get?

Thanks.

These are all fun, but some will cost a bit more than others.
I'll list the less expensive games first

Faxanadu
Bionic Commando
Tetris
Arkanoid
Super Mario 3
River City Ransom
Mega Man 2
Bubble Bobble
Contra
Dragon Warrior 3

The Flintstones.

So far I've seen people mention games you can discover with an easy Google search. They're games EVERYONE knows about... So I'm gonna try to let you in on a few hidden gems...

Note: The name of each game on the list is a link to a YouTube video about the game.

1. Holy Diver:
Holy Diver is a Famicom exclusive. It's basically a cross between Mega Man and Castlevania. It's easily the hardest game I have ever played, even moreso than Battle Toads (which, if you do not know to pick that one up, I suggest picking it up). You will need a converter to play it, though. There's plenty of videos online telling you how to get a hold of one and make it yourself. It's very easy. Here is an example of such videos. Many "Black Box" NES games have the converter in them. There are several indications where it may have a converter. Just Google that as well.

2. Recca: Summer Carinval '92:
Easily the best Shmup on the NES. It was created for a tournament held on July 14th, 1994 in Japan. Since the Famicom was a dying breed, not many cartridges were produced. The original Famicom cartridge goes for $100 - $150 on eBay, but you can get it on a reproduction cart at The NES Dump here. You can also find a reproduction of Holy Diver under the "Translated" section of the site as well.

3. Battle Kid: The Fortress of Peril:
This is a homebrew, an entirely new game developed by Sivak Games. It is available at RetroUSB.com (also known as Retro Zone). It's inspired by I Wanna Be The Guy.

4. Dragon Fighter:
Dragon Fighter is a very good action game for the NES.

5. Metal Storm:
Metal Storm is an NES game that really should've become one of the most memorable games in history. Even IGN and other big-name video game websites somehow overlook this masterpiece. It's an amazing game that you should get NOW.

6. The Krion Conquest:
The Krion Conquest is a Mega Man-esque game... though it's much more difficult. Very fun and stylish and you have plenty of powerups you need to learn to utilize from the very beginning.

I'm done for now! Perhaps I'll suggest more later, I could go on for a while!

contra,  super c,  ninja gaiden,  punch-out or mike tyson's punch out,  godzilla, tiger heli,  chip and dale rescue rangers, wrecking crew,  smb2, smb3,  adventure island, and batman are all must owns for any nes collection.
