M. Bison of Street Fighter fame. Was gonna go with another one, but M. rocks.
Interesting trivia for anyone not already familiar with it, M.Bison was originally the name of Balrog in the Japanese version of the game. Mike Bison was a parody of Mike Tyson, so of course they had to change around the names for the US release. The villain we know as M.Bison was originally Vega and the masked murderer we know as Vega was originally called Balrog.
Anyway, N is for Nightshade. A game that everyone will understand my attachment to when they look into the background of the cover art...

T... for "Turrican".
(http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/3788/103809302100rw2.gif)
There are many arcades out there, but "Turrican" is unique in that the level design is incredible, and the game makes sure you have the chance to visit every square inch of it if you wish. Which means the pace is less frantic, but even more involving than usual. Plus the music is awesome.
U is for Ultraman!
(http://www.videogamecritic.net/images/snes/ultraman.gif)
W is for "The Way of the Exploding Fist", one of best one on one fighting games ever released.
