NES Advent Calendar: Game #2
Kid Icarus
The game that gets easier as you progress! This title switched from vertical to horizontal to open platforming and even has a shmup level. Much of the Metroid team moved over to this project in 1986. It has a unique leveling system too!
I adore the concept art for this game as well and will post it at any opportunity I can get.
NES Advent Calendar: Game #9
DuckTales
One of the best designed platformers out there! It isn't the most challenging experience, but it's still one of the most fun. And, oh man, the soundtrack! Some of the finest music the NES has to offer. If you like platformers, PLAY THIS.
NES Advent Calendar: Game #13
Gradius II
Yeah, it's sort of cheating since it's a Famicom exclusive, but I love this port so much that I'm including it anyways. It changes up some of the stages and music from its arcade counterpart and is a perfect edition to any shmup library!
Wanted to toss up a few cool Ghosts 'n Goblins things that didn't make it into the video. There first is a awesome piece of artwork for the Japanese Mega Drive version of Daimakaimura/Ghouls 'n Ghosts by Yuji Kaida.
