There literally isnt anymore hidden gems on snes, or nes or n64 or any nintendo console. Nintendo is the most popular brand in videogame history. Everything that was a hidden gem even a few years ago is now commonly known by most enthusiasts. Metal orb 2, metal max 2, gossun oyoyo, shiren the wanderer, etc... Theres nothing left, anon.

Honestly? I feel like all retro consoles are running out of “hidden gems.” Even the PS1/2 are running dry, although there’s probably a handful left. After several decades, dozens of infographics and hundreds of MetalJesus videos, how much more can you expect to find?


I think the focus should be more so on better documenting the good games that have already been found to make them easier for newcomers to find. Trying to find new ones at this point seems like a waste of time - diminishing returns have kicked in hard.

[Anonymous No.7901646]

It's pretty fucking bad. It's barely a beat em up, very slow and stiff, you're better off holding L or R and hitting Y to do a big uppercut that does like 6 times the damage of a normal punch, or jump, then hold L/R and hit Y to do a flying roundhouse kick. After doing a few boring levels of slow beat em up "action", you enter a haunted house that has a door maze, and if you fuck up and die you get sent back to the previous level.

Nintendo consoles especially. If an NES/SNES/N64 game is good, it's well known, and if it's not well known, it's not good.

The Game Boy is an exception, there lots of great but little-known games for it.

Just because our old asses know them doesn't mean other people do.

The Gameboy is the one exception. For some reason its library hasn't been explored to the extent Nintendo's home consoles have.

I feel like that's because outside of Nintendo's own games and maybe a few of the big ones, the library is a disaster that's overall worse than the NES
But it's completely true that I nearly never hear of the GB and GBC library

it's western license shit, it was probably shat out in mere months. The best thing you can say for it, IIRC, is that it has some decent animation and art

I wish we were all better at discussing them. The discussion and analysis of games still tends to fall into good/bad with people largely being unable dissect anything that's interesting about them.

I loved this shit when I was 7. Very hard for me at the time though. I couldn’t get past the mountain level (it was only like level 3 though.) You started that level with a sword that shot beams when you’re at full health, and I would tard rage when I lost it.

Lucky. It is a lot of fun. Easy to learn but difficult to master. Try to put in swear words as your name and it won't let you which kept me and one friend in high-school entertained for hours

[Anonymous No.7907916]

Pretty fun, probably one of the few platform games where the water levels are better than land levels.

Apparently reviews panned it for mediocre graphics but it has its moments.

If only the human evolution wasn't so boring.

Replay it. I have the same childhood memories, but now it takes about 30 minutes to beat. It's still a very good looking game and the opening song is in my top 10 snes songs for sure.

Just because it had vampires doesn't make it a horror. But it was a cool entry level action-rpg

It's not very good but it scratches an itch that no other game does.

[Anonymous No.7909867]

it's actually a decent turn based tactics game, albeit far too grim and serious for a children's board game spinoff.

>Shortly after the game's release, DMA Design was sued by Pixar for allegedly copying the unicycle design and concept from their 1987 short film Red's Dream. Mike Dailly, one of the developers at DMA Design, commented, "The problem with Pixar was that they seemed to think that any computer generated unicycle was owned by them." DMA Design lost the lawsuit, and as a result, Nintendo had to terminate production of further Unirally cartridges. According to Dailly, "The deal was that Nintendo wouldn't make any more carts so Unirally only sold the 300k initial run". Fellow DMA Design developer Robbie Graham recalled, "They took footage from Red's Dream and compared it to Unirally and the unicycles were virtually the same; this isn't a big surprise as there’s not a lot of ways you can bring life to a unicycle without looking like the one Pixar did. The judge - being the moron that he was - agreed."
