My two biggest hidden gems are NES Open and Space Shuttle Project. I loved both of those and I never see them mentioned. NES Open especially was the best golf game Nintendo ever made - I don't even like golf and I loved it.
Che Guvara, still stuck in a nightmare where his face is sold on merchandise by the capitalists that saw to his demise. Game looks fantastic compared to the other overhead run and guns on the system.
Little Samson is so good. I played it for the first time yesterday and I can't believe it, I grew up playing SNES and Sega Genesis, and this game alone kicks 90% of the games in those system's butts in gameplay. I can't believe I had never heard of it before and that it didn't get sequels, truly a wtf thing.
Something great about Vice is it being available on the Nintendo switch online service, so that's an easy (legal) way to give it a try. Good video. Can't wait for part 3 where I hope you talk about remaining system jewels like Kick Master, GI Joe (the first one) and Mr. Gimmick among others 🙂
OMG after all these years you just gave the perfect description of what the NES port of Guerilla War is...Bombastic! What people may not know is that many of SNK's early NES ports like Ikari Warriors and Athena were actually done under contract by developer Micronics. But by 1987 they decided to be more hands on and start making the ports themselves and it shows with 1988/1989 titles like Guerilla War, POW, and Touchdown Fever. I'm not sure about Jackal being a hidden gem per say but then again games like that and Rush 'n Attack gets overshadowed by other Konami classics like Castlevania and Contra. Btw Jackal was also released on the Famicom Disk System. It's the same game but I think it's probably an earlier version because the entire first level is missing and all the cut scenes except for the ending are gone. Great list so far! 😃
I played the _heck_ out of Guerrilla War in the 80's and I gotta add that player 2 controls Fidel Castro. Also, Guerrilla War has an unlimited continues code. Just hold A and B and press start on the continue screen and you can make it to the end every time.

I had Guerrilla War. Was always a fun time. Have you covered Monster Party yet ? Don't know if It can quite be considered a hidden gem but It's definitely unique. Also look into Ufouria. It was only released in Europe but It's made by Sunsoft when they were only making bangers on the NES. It's a cute metroidvania title.
@@gjergjaurelius9798 Yeah, I had heard about that, thanks for mentioning it. I Will add it to my Steam wishlist. My backlog is already pretty full with games I haven't played.
I've looked into it but it's going to be hard to scrap together games, most of the homebrew games for the Super Nintendo are also released on the Genesis. The Super Nintendo doesn't have homebrew exclusives unlike the Genesis.
@@CaptainJack1 Yeah the Genesis is easier to program for because the CPU that it has (Motorola 68000) was literally used in almost everything including Capcom Arcade boards, Neo Geo, early Apple computers, Atari Jaguar, etc.
maybe back then, but i cant say ive seen most anyone mention it in the Current Year when NES games are discussed. SNK has a catalogue of far more heavily referenced titles.
I rarely see it referenced today and don't recall hearing much about it back when it was released. Granted, I was a fairly young gamer at the time but still.
