There's definitely games where the NES' variety of hues is more appreciated.

The Amiga had a similar dilemma; it's master palette was massive, but you could only display 32 colors on screen at once without palette swapping trickery. You had to choose whether you wanted hues or shades. Superfrog is colorful but flat, Alien Breed is desaturated with subtle shading, Ruff & Tumble is full of colorful gradients but it amps up the contrast so highlights are white and shadows are black.
