Less than one week ago Massive Monster contacted us and asked me (Robin Ek, TGG) if I wanted to check out the demo for their upcoming action/adventure/RPG platformer "The Adventure Pals". So I did. And I had a blast with the game as "The Adventure Pals" is like a mix of "Zelda 2", "Adventure Time", Castle Crashers" and "Banjo Kozooie".
There are tons of great games that have been overlooked in the mass of more popular titles. And I don’t just mean underrated games, either. We’re talking about grossly underrated and underappreciated titles in otherwise well-regarded franchises.
FINALLY someone who acknowledges the greatness of Gremlins 2 NES!! One of my favorite movie tie-in games of all times. I have fond memories of both the game and the movie from when I was a kid. I was playing it again just a couple of months ago, and it still holds up very, very well!
I rarely see people mention Gremlins 2 when discussing great NES games and I love you for that!
*edit - Sunsoft really was a fantastic studio. Another favorite, underrated late NES game from them was Batman Return of the Joker. It was so much better than the SNES version too. Something about it died in the effort towards upgrading the graphics and music. The NES version felt darker, moodier.
Kabuki Quantum Fighters was a Nick Arcade classic. Never played it but the name has stuck with me to this day because of that show.
With Sunsoft you knew you were getting good graphics and music,
Personal honorable mentions to Faxanadu and Crystalis.
I dont know if its been underrated, but kung fu master was such a awesome game on the nes. Even if it couldnt compare with the arcade version in graphics, the gameplay was so amasing. Awesome sound effects too. Played it for countless hours....
Nearly 40 years after its release, the NES is still one of the most popular gaming consoles in the world! Here are our top NES games that have stood the test of time.

How much you want to bet a Simpsons game remake wouldn't have Marge wielding that vacuum?
I really like the sound of "a mix of "Zelda 2", "Adventure Time", Castle Crashers" and "Banjo Kozooie" :3
