Little Samson is so good. I played it for the first time yesterday and I can't believe it, I grew up playing SNES and Sega Genesis, and this game alone kicks 90% of the games in those system's butts in gameplay. I can't believe I had never heard of it before and that it didn't get sequels, truly a wtf thing.
Che Guvara, still stuck in a nightmare where his face is sold on merchandise by the capitalists that saw to his demise. Game looks fantastic compared to the other overhead run and guns on the system.
I *loved* Guerrilla war as a kid! I played it at my cousin's house, and couldn't remember the name I had remembered it as Commando. Similar game, but not nearly as cool, imo.
Something great about Vice is it being available on the Nintendo switch online service, so that's an easy (legal) way to give it a try. Good video. Can't wait for part 3 where I hope you talk about remaining system jewels like Kick Master, GI Joe (the first one) and Mr. Gimmick among others 🙂

I played the _heck_ out of Guerrilla War in the 80's and I gotta add that player 2 controls Fidel Castro. Also, Guerrilla War has an unlimited continues code. Just hold A and B and press start on the continue screen and you can make it to the end every time.
OMG after all these years you just gave the perfect description of what the NES port of Guerilla War is...Bombastic! What people may not know is that many of SNK's early NES ports like Ikari Warriors and Athena were actually done under contract by developer Micronics. But by 1987 they decided to be more hands on and start making the ports themselves and it shows with 1988/1989 titles like Guerilla War, POW, and Touchdown Fever. I'm not sure about Jackal being a hidden gem per say but then again games like that and Rush 'n Attack gets overshadowed by other Konami classics like Castlevania and Contra. Btw Jackal was also released on the Famicom Disk System. It's the same game but I think it's probably an earlier version because the entire first level is missing and all the cut scenes except for the ending are gone. Great list so far! 😃
My two biggest hidden gems are NES Open and Space Shuttle Project. I loved both of those and I never see them mentioned. NES Open especially was the best golf game Nintendo ever made - I don't even like golf and I loved it.
I've looked into it but it's going to be hard to scrap together games, most of the homebrew games for the Super Nintendo are also released on the Genesis. The Super Nintendo doesn't have homebrew exclusives unlike the Genesis.
@@CaptainJack1 Yeah the Genesis is easier to program for because the CPU that it has (Motorola 68000) was literally used in almost everything including Capcom Arcade boards, Neo Geo, early Apple computers, Atari Jaguar, etc.
maybe back then, but i cant say ive seen most anyone mention it in the Current Year when NES games are discussed. SNK has a catalogue of far more heavily referenced titles.
I rarely see it referenced today and don't recall hearing much about it back when it was released. Granted, I was a fairly young gamer at the time but still.
I discovered Guerrilla War the past year while looking for some funny and simple games for my nephew to play and he loved it. I remember doing research on it and being surprised that they really made a Che Guevara game (btw, if I'm not wrong P2 is Fidel Castro). Look, I am argentinian and El Che is a pretty controversial figure here in his homeland. For me it was like seeing Super Hitler's Adventure. Weird shit.
Killin it Captain Jack

Dude I just watched about all your videos. Great stuff! Do more videos on best fan translated games!
I might! Definitely loved doing that video.
Maybe it’s not such a hidden gem, but “Destiny of an Emperor” is an all timer for the NES.
Jackal is the game of my childhood. This music... god damn
Excellent, there's some sweet looking games there. Quality video capn' Jack!
North & South sounds so fun
love your videos, keep it up man!

I really like your content, I’m excited for you to blow up!!

great games thanks for listing them in description too 👍
I feel like Little Samson is just *barely* too well known to still really be a hidden gem, but I'm just nitpicking. Great list fr.
How about sprinkling in some Famicom titles too..? Ever played "Samurai Pizza Cats" or a little gem of a game called "Cocoron"?
Oh yeahh
Seum, soum, yeouh, macarrón
Yeah, macarrón, no
Cocoron, Cocoron, Cocoron, Cocoron

The biggest negative I can say about Little Samson is the price it goes for.
Thank God for emulation lol
@@kyledownes7525 Nintendo is going to sue you for saying that.

keep goin! love your commentary
I love your videos
North and South is great multiplayer. I should play this weekend.
Any chance for best SNES homebrew?

While i do love the games on this list, there's nothing hidden about these gems.
You started a HIDDEN GEM video with Guerilla War? The game was fucking big back when it came out and everyone knows about it
