  1. I think that hidden gem is really something that is important to newer systems that are drowning in releases. The Wii for instance is a system overflowing with bloat that genuinely overshadow good games that had more limited print runs.
    A lot of "hidden gem" videos are just listing obscure games or obscure systems without realising that the games have to actually be good to qualify as a gem.

  2. I still consider Joy Mech Fight a hidden gem, for the Famicom. It holds up really well, graphic wise and playability. There's some Japanese, but with a phone translation or fan translate rom you can go far.
    Hardly anyone seems to talk about it, not even Nintendo. Though I think there's a reference to it in Smash Bros. I hope one day it'll show up on the Switch.

  3. I prefer the label "cult classic" over "hidden gem." There are very few quality console games that are unknown to hardcore fans. There are a lot of quality console games that have relatively smaller dedicated fanbases.

  4. Consoles with huge libraries are always a good place to look for hidden gym it just takes a while to dig through it all in my mind I think Nintendo switch will be the next great console for hidden gyms
