With the recent sad news and being that I've been on a nes and Famicom binge lately I thought a good way to celebrate the systems would be to recommend each other some overlooked but great games from each system. I'll try to update with new recs on occasion and keep the thread active. I've got quite a few I wanna share and hopefully I'll be introduced into something new and sweet.

Little Nemo: The Dream Master

Not really a hidden gem but it's one of my top 5 NES games and I never see anyone talk about it.

Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa is a 1988 Konami game for the Famicom disk system. It's the latest gem I played and beat. I was honestly impressed with how excellent this one was, and it's a good game to check out to remind you how much quality used to be put into Konami games.

Premise is charming Japanese weirdness. It's a platformer but you play as a baby who crawls and uses a rattle to inflate enemies into balloons (a gimmick that could once be seen as innocent) which you can then use as platforms as they float or bump into them in order to send them flying to hit enemies. Even though you play as a baby the game can be quite challenging especially when you get to world 5. It never feels cheap though, always fair and the level design is consistently creative and well made. Plenty of impressive scenery design considering the systems limitations.

with bosses theres not a large variety but they tend to be fun and challenging, plus battle areas are usually cleverly designed to mix things up. Theres usually one at the end of each level with a few exception. Theres 7 worlds with 3 stages each (the 7th has a 4th stage the final boss stage). Each one has it's own theme and again the envirements tend to be creative and varied. If you die you return to the beginning of the stage, lose all your lives return to the beginning of the world. Might sound harsh but you have unlimited continues, and again the game can get tough but rarely can it be called cheap. Honestly no real complaints here. Games is solid as they come.

That's a fun game, I tend to see it brought up when discussing hidden gems.

SNES:

Secret of Evermore (always overlooked because of Secret of Mana)
Robotrek - A cool RPG where you build robots that will be your fighting party.
Lagoon - Not everyone's cup of tea. A more actiony type of RPG. Hit boxes can take a little while to figure out.

Heracles no Eikouu III is a really good SFC JRPG. Its fucking criminal that we never got that game here, but we did get stuff like Arcana, Lufia 1 and Breath of Fire 1, near contemporaries that are way less cool.

Ai Senshi Nicol is another excellent Konami game for the Famicom Disk system. It's a top down action shooter from 1987 and it's really damn impressive how refined it feels and looks for the year. Feels more like a later nes title tbh. 7 levels varying in terms of size and complexity. The goal is to basically collect three gems on each level and move on to the next. Levels are non linear and all well designed, though the first one does have some mandatory back tracking after each gem but this isnt repeated.

Interesting thing is when you fall in a whole you instead of being hurt you end up in an area that you have to escape from. Usually theres lots of lava to damage you but you can also find useful powerups in these areas.

Nekketsu Kakut Densetsu is a very interesting one. Feels very ahead of its time with surprisingly complex set of moves for chararacters, and varied stage design with gimmicks and hazards.

This game is really cool from what I've played. Still need to beat it. Very creative game, another one that felt more forward thinking.

NES
Flying Warriors
It starts as an RPG 2D adventure beat em up game and then when you get to gyms or boss battles you can turn into a superhero and then the combat turns into a QTE fight lmao.

SNES
Super Ninja Boy
2 player RPG that has 2D side scrolling, live action battles and boss fights are turn-base. Only thing that really sucks is it uses a password system and encounter rate is awful.

NES Willow is still one of the best "movie games" ever, if not the only good one - at least before Lego games showed up.

It's a bit janky, which took some time to get used to even back then.

Nes Willow is one of the most technically impressive nes games for sure. And I dont think Magic is too janky, just a bit.

Xexyz on NES.

Kinda weird, but cute and fun.

GS Mikami on SNES

Simple, and pretty easy, licensed anime platformer, but there's a surprising amount of effort and detail put into the enemies that make going through the levels fun.
