Moon Crystal
Crisis Force (especially the MUSHA-like parallax scrolling)
The nes really had some great looking games at the end of its life. Its amazing how far it came from those early titles that just looked like 7800 ports.
What games do you think stood out?
Some obvious picks
Moon Crystal
Crisis Force (especially the MUSHA-like parallax scrolling)
I came in here to say Moon Crystal, but was beat to it.
I'll add this old nugget though.
personal favorites I own
Watch that robot strut
I think that Astynax on the NES looks better than the not so good looking tiled backgrounds of The Legendary Axe on the TG-16.
not super detailed, but very colorful and nails the sd art style.
I love the animation in Metal Storm.
Mitsume Ga Tooru
Parodius (love they didn’t go for a straight port)
Did some more research. Apparently there was a sega version, which oddly enough looks like dog poop. No idea how they bungled that, other than farming out the port.
