      Am I the only one who noticed the Captain N shirt (edit: no)? That's awesome! I need to watch it with my son.
      I have some of these games, but not all of them.
      Crystalis is an absolutely amazing game. I beat it again last year. GI Joe was one of my NES games, and I loved it. Still trying to pick it up again.

    Thank you for including Battle of Olympus in your Nes hidden gems 3 video. That's an NES game I mentioned that deserves a place as an overlooked action rpg.

  • @BdR76
    @BdR76 7 лет назад +5

    4:55 that Fire and Ice is such a cool game. It has 100 regular levels, but then also 50(!) hidden bonus levels as an easter egg.
    If the game was released today that would probably have been paid DLC.

  • @AveMcree
    @AveMcree 7 лет назад +1

    Pinball Quest was easily my favorite NES game next to the SMB series. I'd die 10x if they remade that gem.. There aren't many pinball games with that amount of depth in story.

  • @bondedomao

    I'm so nostalgic for that G.I. Joe NES game... used to go far but never finished when I was a child.

    @emilyvilleneuve9315 7 лет назад +3

    The Guardian Lengend is SOOOOOOOO fun! A buddy of mine got it in a stack of NES games from his uncle years ago, and we have gone back and replayed countless times since. We were actually lucky enough to find a loose manual of it at the flee market near us for $2 a year or so ago! If John has the manual it's actually a pretty cool read and makes it gives you the names for each power up

    The cover art for The Guardian Legend is EXACTLY why I never rented it at my local rental store. I can't tell you how many times I looked at that game but never tried it out! I am sure I would have liked it.

    • @FistingGuru
      @FistingGuru 7 лет назад +1

      Man, you included Tiny Toons Adventures Cartoon Workshop, but not Color a Dinosaur? You better include that one in NES hidden gems 4 :^)

    • @JohnRiggs
      @JohnRiggs 7 лет назад +3

      The only thing good about Color a Dinosaur is finding it for cheap and flipping it for profit. And the fact that Tommy Tallarico did the music.

    • @RickyRicardo135
      @RickyRicardo135 7 лет назад +1

      Rollergames is an awesome hidden gem on NES. Definitely needs to be in the next hidden gems video. Also, I recommend Crisis Force for Famicom, the best shmup on the system.

    • @GreenSoap
      @GreenSoap 7 лет назад +1

      Uforia: The Saga
      Over Horizon
      Super Turrican
      Hammerin' Harry
      Noah's Ark
      Astyanax
      Blue Shadow
      Xexyz
      The NewZealand Story
      Also, the European Guardian Legend box art is one of the best for the system, it's awesome :D

    @LateNightRetro 7 лет назад +1

    Tough making a hidden gems video on Nintendo games these days, but there were a few titles in this list I hadn't heard of. I recently played Shatterhand. Great game, has a bit of a Vice Project Doom feel to it which you covered in an earlier video.

  • @13Gangland

  • @SoftOtaku
    @SoftOtaku 7 лет назад +6

    Also, I think a lot of people know this, but if you input 'TGL' as the password on Guardian Legend, it allows you to play through just the shooter sections.

    • @grimmbilly9263
      @grimmbilly9263 7 лет назад +3

      They also give you this password after you finish the game, probably because they knew no one would want to play through the whole game a second time.

  • @qqq1701

  • @SlashSpider
    @SlashSpider 5 лет назад

    Bucky O'Hare and Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle are my #1 (&2) go to games. Glad to see this on the list.
    I find it interesting to see Bucky considered a hidden gem, because there were comics, toys, and a tv show in the 80s.
    Same with Tiny Toons, which has been in 2 of these videos. Tiny Toons 1 is really fun and if you're creative, the cartoon Workshop is sure to keep you entertained.

  • @douglasheltibridle1056

    Excellent video, +MetalJesusRocks.
    I can recommend you three hidden gems for the NES: 8 Eyes by Taxan, Conquest of the Crystal Palace by Asmik and Jackie Chan by Hudson Soft (also, three of my favorite games for the NES). Greetings from Mexico.

  • @agarven1
    @agarven1 4 года назад

    Around 15 years ago I bought Bucky O’Hare complete in box with the ads in it for 8 dollars. At the time I didn’t know what I was buying because I never heard of the game and that was the only one I ever seen at game shops. Back then I bought games just to own. I also got a complete in box Snow Brothers at the same place for 20 dollars

  • @d36williams
    @d36williams 3 года назад +1

    I totally remember Bucky O Hare; I've never seen it reviewed before but I'm surprised it's a "hidden gem," I thought it was popular. But it may have came out at a time it went head to head with the Genesis and was over shadowed

  • @fulltimebeastgamingntoys8065
    @fulltimebeastgamingntoys8065 7 лет назад

    I vividly remember playing Bucky and really getting into it. I was probably 6 years old, lol. Sometimes you were rolling the dice with game rentals, sometimes you won. This was a winner.

    @OneColdMonkey 7 лет назад

    When I was a kid I got Pinball Quest as a present when I had chicken pox. It's hard for me to play now to this day, because I just remember how sick and feverish I was trying to play it that first time.
    I have a sealed copy of Shatterhand though, so that was fun to see pop up!

  • @IllegalPriest
    @IllegalPriest 5 лет назад +2

    Crystalis is the definition of a hidden gem. Played through a million times. Didn’t know until much later that it wasn’t well known.

    Love Shatter Hand, more people need to play that game. When we were kids, my brother and I each got to pick a game, and I thought the cover looked cool, so that was mine, he picked Jaws, I win.
    Really like Bucky O'Hare as well, haven't played the rest of them. I've already got a ton of game I know I want to pick up in backlog, if I ever manage to get through those, I might just check a few of these.
