What NES games can still hold up today, in your book?

Any obscure ones or hidden gems?

I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Not obscure, but I always felt FF3 never got enough credit. Largely because it never got a western release at the time I imagine. It was incredibly ambitious for a NES title, the nested world maps was absolutely bonkers at the time and it was really the first real form of the iconic FF job system.

Yeah the party was just a blob of blank slate characters, but overall I think it actually holds up pretty well.

5 is great, and also pretty underrated in my opinion. I recently replayed the first six and I think I had greatly underrated 3/5 and overrated 4.
