What % of the NES library is worth owning?
I don't mean with regards to money, but playability.
I am at around 350 games, most of which I have an interest in owning/playing. I don't wanna get extra shelves so debating just removing the 10-20 crappy games I own and replacing them with ones I want to play. The thing is, I continue to discover interesting games on the console, so wondering whether I may be nearing the last couple ones or whether you think more than 50% are legitimately good games.
Cheers.

People have different definitions of good and what they want to own. Some like the gameshow games, some don't. If you don't, that's like twenty or thirty games to skip. Same with sports games, strategy games, etc.
20% Maybe
60% Chuffa
Once you hit 300-something games, you are going to have a few shelf filler titles in there
Guess someone should play through and rank the entire library so we know for sure
Have you seen Chrontendo? The guy basically did this chronologically all the way to 1989 before slowing updates to a crawl. He doesn't seem to like at least 80% of the stuff he played. the only difference is that he included japan only stuff, which significantly increases the number of games he played.
I would say once you hit about 100 you are stretching to add anything REALLY good
My list is mainly US games but titles that are slightly different in another region may be counted twice
Yowza.
I would guess around ~200 are decent and fun playable games... If that?
For me, that total represents my childhood games + games that carry some amount of nostalgia + games that I've enjoyed playing more than once.

50. Games not percent. Honestly, there are some great games, but there are a lot of rehashes and just straight up garbage (e.g. Secret Scout).
I agree with this. I would say 10% of the total library would be a stretch for truly good games. There are a lot of OK games but they're usually just worse versions of other games on the system. I own about 100 games for NES and don't feel like I am missing out on anything and could even ditch a few of those.
Assuming you like (or at least somewhat enjoy) all genres, I'll throw out 50-60%.
In terms of playability 10-15% of the library is probably where it's at.

I read that entire thing. He barely played most of the games, and his choices for the "best" of the library leave a lot to be desired

Meh. It's a point of reference. I actually dig his top games, it's not exactly the usual suspects that made it in and that's refreshing. It's cool that he went into this semi-blind and gave lesser ratings to games he personnally didn't feel were worth mastering. I can dig that. A steep learning curve can, and often should, and often will be a deterrent to one's enjoyment of a particular game.

He gave Samson an A+, at least that’s accurate

we snes collectors dont deserve you
NES - about 15%
SNES - about 30% (maybe even higher)
N64 - about 5%
Some thoughts in %
NES - about 15%
SNES - about 30% (maybe even higher)
N64 - about 5%
GameBoy is 100% though, it's the GOAT.
