50 NES Quotes Every Gamer Should Know

I never played a lot of these games, but a lot of these are great. A lot of translation goofs, and just some all around classic lines. A lot of great Legend of Zelda quotes there too.

Some of the commentary notes are obviously a bit juvenile and silly, but its a cool read. Some of my favs are "A Winner is You" and "It's a Secret to Everybody" as well as the Bionic Command "damn fool" one

I have played Punch Out hundreds of times, and I sure don't remember that.

(Or maybe I was just too young and didn't "get" it at the time.)

There's no way that is real.

It's Photoshopped.

The real quote is something like "I don't smoke... but tonight I'm gonna smoke you!"

I didn't think that the Punch Out screenshot was real, but the author of the website does claim it is not photoshopped. All of the other screenshots don't look doctored, so I am assumed he wasn't lying about this one too.

I didn't think that Nintendo would have let such a blatant sexual joke slip into a NES game though. Back in the NES/SNES era, they were hardcore about protecting their family friendly image. In the original arcade, Soda Popinski was actually Vodka Drunkenski, and Nintendo changed his name for the NES release. Heck, I still remember all the uproar the highly censored Mortal Kombat for the SNES received while the Genesis got the completely uncensored version.

Edited to add: Now that I think about it, maybe the sexual joke is from the nude Punch Out mod. Yes, there actually is a nude Punch Out mod. I never actually played it, but I have read about it.

"I am Error" was my favorite.

It is probably technically true that it isn't photoshopped. I'm assuming it is a modified ROM being played on an emulator.
