>TMNT games are better played on arcade or NES?
Only TMNT2 has an arcade counterpart, while it is more visually standing in arcade, the extra levels make the NES worth a playthrough.
TMNT3 is 100% NES-only.

I'll second this.
Also the whole Adventure Island series. Some of the best platformer games ever made, and rather forgotten by modern players. I rarely see them on NES top lists, yet to me, Adventure Island 2 or 3 are easily up there with SMB3

Not sure about SNES, but for NES any good 240p tv should do. Get a trinitron. I emulate and use a PC CRT, looks gorgeous.

It's literally impossible to name a game that hasn't been mentioned before. It's the most scratched nostalgia a record ever. Even one of the most off the beaten path games is still not a hidden gem unless you are living under a rock.
Nevertheless,

Little Nemo
Jackal
Gun-Nac
Journey to Silius
Rush'n Attack
Little Samson
Legendary Wings
Ninja Gaiden II
Niji no Silkroad

Literally any 'top 100 nes games' google search will serve you right.

No worries, it's actually kind of cool to realize that there are people new to the NES, my favorite system for nostalgic reasons. I assume you are young and in that way, it gives me pleasure to indulge your curiosity.

Also check out Little Samson, another great example of late-life NES programming wizardry.
Silver Surfer is also a must - if not for the gameplay, then for Tim Follin's mindblowing musical talent with the NES's hardware.

The problem is you’re asking for games that are iconic or influential while excluding the most iconic and influential. Drop the stupid fucking buzzwords and you might get some decent under-the-radar recommendations.

Pic related is basically 1st person Star Fox with a Light Gun. If you have a CRT, I highly recommend it. Could never get past the 3rd level or so as a kid.
