metal jesus: metal jesus here and i'm backwith john riggs. john: yes! metal jesus: i know! john: always happy to be in here! metal jesus: and i have been waiting to dothis video for so long, because we need on
Gamestop Game Trade In Values, my channel, a nes hidden gems video. john: i read the comments, in all your videoswhether i'm in them or not. metal jesus: yes. john: i mean, sometimes i'm here, sometimesi'm a shadowy character in the background,
going back to the days of the immortal johnhancock. john: all the reggie videos, all the kinseyvideos, and i'm going through them, and this is way back before you used lighting and youhad half of your collection. metal jesus: my hair was shorter up to here. john: it was somewhere around there. metal jesus: yeah, yeah. john: my hair was actually a little bit longerthan it was. you didn't have any nintendo entertainment system hidden gem videos. metal jesus: i know.
john: the hidden gems are my personal favoritevideos on your channel. metal jesus: and so you're the perfect guy. john: and i was like, if you're going to doone, call me because i want to be here! metal jesus: that's right. and so he has brought10 nes hidden gems, dude, this is going to be awesome! john: you keep saying hidden gems. i knowi said hidden gems too, but it's like... metal jesus: you're reluctant. john: i'm reluctant, because to me they'renot hidden, but they should be explored, because sometimes, some of these games actually mightbe games you see all the time, but you haven't
picked them up yet for one reason or another.maybe it's just because the box art looks weird, maybe because they're like, "oh, thisgame's five bucks. that can't be any good." i'm telling you, it's really good. metal jesus: well, i'm looking at the titleshere, i don't recognize any of them. so for me, they're hidden gems. metal jesus: we're going with it. john: let's call it nintendo entertainmentsystem hidden gems. metal jesus: all right, let's take a look.all right dude, show me games i need in my collection.
john: all right, let's start off with...oh,controversy! north and south. metal jesus: oh, interesting! john: you can play as the north or you canplay as the south. metal gear: huh! john: all right. super awesome game. two playerif you want it to be or we can do one player too. metal jesus: and what kind of game is it? john: it is...there's a few different gamesinvolved. metal jesus: okay.
john: okay, you start off with a map of theeastern united states during the civil war. metal jesus: right. john: and you pick your side, and then itturns into a...you have to gain more states. so if you're playing as the north, for instance,you have to move to...you have to put your characters on the southern states, but there'speople from the south on those and they're protecting their territory. metal jesus: oh, interesting. john: so there's a few different mini gamesit will go into. it can go into a mini game where you choose between your horses or yourcanon and your infantry, and then you have
to kind of fight each other, the horses cango fly though and you can slash on the way through, canon, power up your shot, fire it.so you have to keep on moving between the two, so you're not killing your guys, butyou're killing the other guys and trying to do that, to gain territory. metal jesus: what an interesting game. i hadno idea that any...i mean, that would be something to be on the pc back in the day, but i wouldnever expect it to be on the original nintendo. john: it does have a very...it has a pc kindof feel to it. metal jesus: does it? john: because you have to click around, moveto where you're going to. when you get more
points, you get more people that you can movearound. it can also turn into a little side scrolling, almost platformer, where you'retrying to capture the flag, but as you're trying to capture the flag, more and moreenemies come out and of course, one punch send them flying like a cartoon character,but you have to get to the flag before the time runs out. so there's a lot of differentmini games in it. super fun game. i know there's a recent controversy with the confederateflag and all that, and that's when i was like, "oh, that reminds me of this game." and thensomeone else is like, "what are you talking about? i never even heard of that game." andthat's hidden gems metal jesus: yeah! wow, that's cool, man!awesome!
john: north and south. if you can find oneof these, i'd say grab it. it's a lot of fun. i still play with my friends today. metal jesus: cool! john: this game i had to bring up, becauseyou get indignant about games sometimes. you're like, "how dare you sell that for five bucks?it's easily worth ten bucks." or something like that. and i see that a lot with thisgame, it's called rescue the embassy mission. metal jesus: well, i think it's because...imean, it looks like it might be a budget title, although that's pretty cool though. it's gotsome dude on there and busting through a window, but i can see though, where sometimes peoplebase all that on the name or the cover, right?
john: i've never heard of that. i've neverheard of that company. you're going to sell that for a dollar too? metal jesus: you know what? same publisheras the last game. john: yeah, now that you mention it. metal jesus: ah, i'm seeing a trend here! john: i might have to go through the otherones here and see what's going on here. and like the last game, some mini game elements. john: you start off with stealth. you're tryingto get...well, it's a hostage situation. so you have to get your team to the building,rescue the hostages, kill the bad guys, and
you do that in a few different steps. firstone is a stealth mode, where you send your characters out to the streets to go to thebuilding, but there's these spotlights, and as soon as the spotlights hit you, you'regoing to start seeing guns being fired at you. so you have to jump into the bushes orjump on a window or crawl and duck and roll to get to your post. metal jesus: interesting. john: once you find your post, then that'syour sniper. so then before you go inside the building, you can look through the windowskind of it reminds me of this old arcade game called empire city 1931, i think it's called.think of silent scope.
metal jesus: okay, yeah. john: silent scope? okay, let's call it that.and you see these windows and you see these silhouettes in the windows. so when you seeone then you shoot them and that's one less person you have to kill inside the building. metal jesus: wow! john: sounds kind of fun. and then after that,you'll let a rope down, jump in the window, and then it turns into a first person viewgoing from room to room and killing the bad guys and rescuing the hostages. metal jesus: wow, sounds awesome!
john: action packed! every time you do thatit sounds like a lot, but all of that i just explained, you could probably do it like infive minute's time. metal jesus: and this is like a $5, $10 game? john: it's a budget game. you're going tosee this in game stores and conventions...of course, i said that now, they're watchingnow. it's cost efficient, let's call it that. metal jesus: yeah, that's cool! i love that. john: i love this game. it's called monsterparty. it's one of my favorites. metal jesus: monsters at a party! what's notto love? john: absolutely! there's a story line toit that sounds like any old nintendo game.
it's like you're a boy walking home from schoolor something like that and you run across a magical phoenix or griffin or something. john: so then you're in this magical monster...as you do, every time. you come home...oh, you're in this magical world, come home. you'rein this magical world and then it looks weird, the graphics are great for nintendo standards,the sound is great. and it's just creative, the enemies you run across and the bossesyou run across, the label art means nothing without anything. metal jesus: dude, but that looks awesome!i'm digging the label right there. john: nothing about that even...
metal jesus: oh, okay. john: "we're making a game called monsterparty, design this label. i don't know." metal jesus: let's just throw some randommonsters on it, huh? john: but the game itself is really fun, becauseyou play as boy with the bat. you can either hit at the enemies or if the enemies are shootingat you, you can hit the bat and the bullets will go back to them and kill them. the bossesare very, very creative, each one's different. there's a pumpkin that's throwing little pumpkinsat you and stuff like that. and just the levels are cool, each level has a little differenttwist to it and everything. it's just a fun platformer game.
metal jesus: that's the thing, fun, right? john: it's fun! metal jesus: that's what we care about themost. john: it's just a fun, fun game and it makesyou want to play longer, because you can't wait to see who the next...and every levelhas two or three bosses, that you've got to fight and each one is very unique and veryfun and very creative, and it's just a fun game. metal jesus: wow, that's cool, john: monster party.
metal jesus: all right, i like it. john: we've got to talk about legend of theghost line. i can tell you about the boring story. just glance at the label art thereif you would. metal jesus: wow, that looks like a late 80'sskinemax. john: that sounds about right. metal jesus: yeah, with a white tiger anda sexy lady on it, interesting. i don't know if my mom would have bought me this back inthe day. john: probably not! maybe that's why it didn'tsell so well anyway. it's a fun rpg though. metal jesus: really?
john: you play the role as a girl. i mean,the story is the white lion attacks the village, the parents who...you become the parents.the parents go out to find out why did this mystical white lion attack our village? andthen the parents are lost. well, the little girl says, "i'm going to find my parents."and then she gets...in the search for her parents, gets whisked away to a magical land,nintendo game. metal jesus: sure. john: and then it becomes a cool rpg, butit's cool because the protagonist is a little girl, and not too many nintendo games featuredwomen as a starring role. metal jesus: and she looks like a bad-ass.she's got the workout pants on, the spandex.
john: absolutely! metal jesus: and kind of the olivia newton-johnsweatband at the top there. john: i wish you played as her, but insteadyou play as a little eight year old who looks nothing like the label art. metal jesus: well, that's it! i'm taking itback! john: that's right! never mind! let's keepthis gem hidden! it's still a fun rpg and it uses instead of having hit points, youhave courage, and then as soon as you run out of courage, then you go back to your startingpoint or your last save or whatever. and you still use...it's just like a traditional rpg.power ups along the way and gain experience.
it uses the...if you win, she'll wink at you,which is kind of nice, because it'll show her face when it goes from the face, her face,to the enemy, back and forth. and then she gets hit, she has this really distraught like,"oh, i feel so bad that she got hit." because she has this little, "huh?" super fun rpgand a lot of people hadn't heard of it, so i wanted to show it. metal jesus: yeah, that's awesome! john: and if nothing more, the label. metal jesus: oh yeah, totally. john: would do that for you. here's anotherfun game. big fan of this, is wurm: journey
to the center of the earth. you journey tothe center of the earth. metal jesus: are you a worm? john: you're not a worm. john: you play a female with green hair, who'snot samus aran. even though you're journeying through space and time and with ships andcrawling through alien lands and you have green hair and you're a woman, you're notsamus aran. metal jesus: that's a pretty cool label therethough, and that's pretty awesome. john: that is a pretty cool label. metal jesus: it's like an album cover forjourney or something, you know?
john: it does a little bit. metal jesus: yeah. john: it reminds me of those little...what'sthe technodrone, little drooling things from "teenage mutant ninja turtles," it remindsme of that. metal jesus: oh yeah! john: it has a feel almost to it. it startsat a shmup. you go through the shmup stage, and then there's some boss element where you'reshooting...you have to talk to your team mates to build up the power to kill the bad guy.and by doing that, you have to...you talk to different people on your ship, and oneguy will say, like, "i don't know who that
guy is." and so you'll get nothing out ofthat. but then scientist might say, "oh, that's this guy." and then you talk to someone else,they'll say, "oh yeah, i've heard of that guy. you have to shoot him in the eye." andthen the more you do that, then you build up enough...when you get to 100%, then youactually finally kill the guy. john: so then it has that element, and thenit also does have a non metroid, because she has green hair and touring alien glands andeverything. a very metroid-esque, going through and exploring alien land and shooting thebad guys. you can also do it, or you can kick them too. you can do like a shawn michaelsuper kick or shoot them with a gun. metal jesus: wow. this sounds like a gamei would like.
john: it's worth checking out. and it hascut scenes and everything, except for all the cut scenes are the same. it's just differentwords. so you know when it's about to go to a cutscene, it's going to be the same imagesevery time, but it might say something different. it's worth checking out. john: oh, never mind, can i just block thathere? metal jesus: you need to clean that, dude.either this is a well-loved game or one that has been sitting around near your... john: let me tell you something kind sir,this game still plays. i don't care what it looks like. and you'll see a game later onthat looks even worse.
metal jesus: a true gamer right here. john: never mind what it looks like. if itplays, i'm all right. metal jesus: that's right, that's right. john: this is one of my favorite puzzle gamesof all time, it's called kickle cubicle. it's a fun, puzzlely, if you like... metal jesus: of all time. john: of all time! john: i don't want to use the lolo reference,because the adventures of lolo, where it's very cartoony, very cute, very colorful. andit's a puzzle, it's a different kind of puzzle
though. in kickle cubicle, you freeze theenemies and then turn them into frozen blocks of ice. and then when you kick those blocksof ice, you can either pingo smash... metal jesus: that's right, it's like pingo. john: right. but because you're on an island,when you kick the blocks off the island, it turns into another platform. and you can createthose platforms to get to the items that you're trying to collect. metal jesus: oh, i love pingo! okay, thissounds interesting. john: it's like pingo, lolo. it's ping-lolo.it's kickle cubicle and it really is, seriously, one of my favorite puzzle games for any system.it's just a fun game and it's super cutesy
and fun and there's-- metal jesus: well, you need to take care ofit. john: a hundred levels. i do take care ofit. metal jesus: you play it, that's showing itlove. john: give it a bath. this is another onei absolutely love, it's called nightshade. the story of nightshade is, he's crime fighter,detective guy and gets zero love, gets zero love from everyone. nobody knows his name.the writing in it is hilarious, it's very, very comical. metal jesus: oh really?
john: but as he's going around and actuallyfighting crime, then your notoriety gets higher up. and the more that happens, the more peopleactually know you and recognize you, because you'll be walking down the street and you'llsee a guy with a tug of war battle with an old lady and her purse. so then you fightthe guy and you get more notoriety. that's just a small part of the game, because thegame by itself in nature, is very maniac mansion-like. john: it's a point and click style. metal jesus: adventure game. john: yeah, it is, it's an adventure game.in fact, you start the game, when you first pop it in and hit start, the very first thingthat happens in the game, is you're tied to
a chair and a bomb is about to go off andthere's a candle in the room. so you go, "okay, i can scoot towards the candle, burn the ropes,hopefully before the bomb goes off." or if you hide behind the wall, the bomb will gooff and it won't blow you up too. but then you'll find items along the way. its like,"i'm going to...i find a key." and then you use the key in something and gain somethingelse. so it does that too, but then it has that fighting element too, where it dropsinto a versus fighter mode and you have to kill the other guy to progress in the game. metal jesus: so i noticed...remind me, thatthis is an ultra games, what is that? because i know there's a history behind ultra games,right?
john: the story of nintendo and please correctme if i'm wrong, but the summarized version is, nintendo said for the nintendo entertainmentsystem, every game company could only release, something like three games a year. metal jesus: oh, i remember this, okay. john: so konami said, "but we have all thesegames! so we'll make ultra." and that way konami will release three, and ultra... metal jesus: so this is technically konami. john: it's a konami game, by its nature. metal jesus: well, konami was kicking asson the nes.
john: konami, yeah, konami was one of thekings for the nes, for sure. and nightshade is just a fun game, love the comedy writing,and instead of dying in the game, you get captured, and then it turns into another pointand click puzzle of...very james bond, where it's like, "ha-ha, i have you tied to theconveyor belt." metal jesus: "you want me to talk? no, mr.bond, i want you to die!" john: so then you have to figure out how toget out before you die, and then you'll die for sure, but if you can figure out the puzzle,going down the conveyor belt and you see, "oh, here's these levers here, when it's bymy foot, i'll use these lever with my foot, and then i'll jump out and i'll go right backup."
metal jesus: that's nice. so it gives youanother try. john: it does give you another try, but it'sone of my favorites. it's just a fun game. john: this is the game that every time i'vementioned it recently, within the last year or so, this one more than any other game i'vementioned is the, "i've never heard of that game." and i'm like, "what do you mean you'venever heard of the krion conquest?" metal jesus: never heard of that. john: oh, you bastard! metal jesus: it's true. john: and that's why i'm bringing it up now.it is...
metal jesus: i love looking at the labels,i apologize. john: no, please look at the label. wait aminute! metal jesus: because i don't know any of thesegames. i'm like, "wow!" john: it is the biggest...because...and ifyou play the krion conquest you know i'm going to say, it is...saying that it ripped offmega man would be polite. it was a downright...take everything that's awesome about mega man,"let's make our own game." even the label has the capcom border, although that one'spurple instead of royal blue or whatever capcom is. but it's done really well. metal jesus: and that's the key, right? ifyou're going to rip somebody off, at least
do a good version of it. john: the good thing about this one, unlikemega man, where you have to fight the boss, you gain their power. in this game, you startwith all the powers, right from the get-go. so you already have the power to use yourbroom to go across, you already have the power to freeze enemies. you have to use those sparingly,of course as the game progresses, but it is a super fun...if you love mega man, you playedone through six on the nintendo, and you were like, "man, that's awesome, i wish there wasmore." you can do this one. and it's totally just like mega man, except for you play asa little girl witch. metal jesus: cool! all right. love it!
john: worth checking out, absolutely. thisis another...file this under the, "don't laugh at my label, but at least i have one!" metal jesus: that's a true gamer right here! john: i picked this up for a significant discount,because of its label, but it works, and this game is called cowboy kid. this one is highup on that...it'll hurt your wallet if you buy one of these. metal jesus: i knew this looked familiar,because i've seen a copy of this at a local store here in seattle and it's not cheap. john: it's probably been there a long, longtime, there's a good reason for it.
john: however, it's really, really good. metal jesus: okay. well, you know what? imean, i don't mind. those are the games i want to be expensive, are the ones that aregood and people want to play. john: right. so if you are actually droppinga hundred bucks for, say, wayne's world for the nintendo, which is the absolute worstgame ever, then you feel ripped off. but this game actually, depending on where you findit, how much you get it for, it might be worth it. one or two players simultaneous, has thattop down-ish three quarter view, and it's a fun...not really platformer, but you killthe bad guys. like the legend of the mystical ninja. a lot like legend of the mystical ninja,but it can be a two player and it's just a
fun game. it's just, you go around and ittakes place in the wild wild west. metal jesus: hence the name. john: hence the name cowboy kid. john: and this tom selleck, burt reynoldslooking guy on the cover there. the guy who's missing, there's a native american next tohim, but i'm sure you can find stock image or something for the full label. metal jesus: yeah, sure. john: but it is a really, really, really fungame. and once you establish yourself as the sheriff, then you can choose which stage youwant to go to first. so you have like, here's
your five, and then you go through and gothrough the level, go through the map. you can purchase items along the way, you canbuy upgrades. gold is in abundance, where there's treasure chests, you can keep hittingthem and gold keeps popping out of them. you can get better weapons along the way and it'sa fun game. and it's a two player simultaneous, which i keep forgetting that it is, becauseit's a really, really great game even by itself. metal jesus: yeah, that's awesome. john: all right. and then last...this looksodd to me, and it is odd when you play it. this is...i have a story about this, thisis the most treasured piece in my collection and i'll tell you why in a moment. it's princesstomato and the salad kingdom. first of all,
the name is princess tomato and the saladkingdom. metal jesus: which is pretty...do you haveany idea...and no judge here, but one of my favorite movie's growing up was "attack ofthe killer tomatoes," and so i have no room to judge. john: okay. this is...i've said this before,too. this game is like shadowgate for vegans, because it's a shadowgate dã©jã vu, uninvitedcould have been on this list too, but it's like shadowgate, where it's a point and clickadventure, where you choose where you're going. you look down the street, you can see thesign, "oh, here's where the lake is." you go to the lake. you can grab water. use theitems along the way. you'll get a friend along
the way too and you go through and the storyis, you're sir cucumber and you're trying to find your princess tomato, and then allof the characters in the game are also all fruits and vegetables. metal jesus: how the hell did you ever decideto pick up this game? have you owned this since it first came out? john: i hadn't. john: and that's the story. john: this is a true story. metal jesus: because i'm like, "what?" wheredid you even...like, "yeah, salad and tomatoes
and adventure. this sounds awesome!" john: yeah, right in there. i did rent itwhen i was younger, but in the late 90's when i decided, "hey, all these nintendo gamesare being liquidated. i'm going to start buying up all the games i can find." metal jesus: smart. john: so most of these games i've had sincethe late 90's when i would go to...i didn't bring it, i still have a copy of bucky o'harefor the nintendo and it still has the gamestop or the software etc., $5 sticker on it. andthey put it right on the label, the jerks. so that's why it stays on the label. but duringmy hunting days, i could never find princess
tomato and the salad kingdom. and i wantedit so bad, but i couldn't find it anywhere and ebay wasn't really a thing yet. john: so i could never find it. so anyway,my girlfriend at the time, for christmas, got me that game. and it blew my mind, becausei was like, "you get me!" and we've been married 13 years since. no, i'm not saying that thisgame is the reason we've been married for so long, but it certainly didn't hurt. metal jesus: that is so funny. john: that is a true story. my girlfriendbought the game. i'm from yakima, washington. we don't have a whole lot of hunting groundsthere so much. so i would come to seattle,
almost every other weekend and hit up allthe different game stores. this is in the late 90's, where you could still go to gamestopand software etc. and ebgames, funco land, and buy nintendo games. i could never findthat one. that was my...that was it. metal jesus: well, i would say based on itslabel, that'd be a hard sell. john: it is a pretty hard sell by the labelalone. metal jesus: because it looks like a veryyoung kid's game, right? john: it does, it absolutely does. metal jesus: but that's awesome now, becausei love it when games like this surprise me and break all of the normal conventions, it'sso cool.
john: absolutely. so if you love shadowgate,you've got to play this. and everyone, not too often, but four of five times in the gamewhen you actually fight the enemy or the person, it turns into a paper-rock-scissors. metal jesus: oh, cool. john: and that's how you defeat them is bydoing paper-rock-scissors. it's a super fun game anyway, but the fact that my story andeverything. i would sell or trade off any other...and i have top earthbound and draculax for the...whatever you want, i'd still trade off any of those. i will never get rid ofthat game. metal jesus: that's really, really awesome.well dude, this is actually a really cool
video, because like you said, i love findinghidden gems. john: oh yeah. metal jesus: i love digging deep into a cataloglike that and finding those things that people either overlook or whatever. john: right. so some of these games just neededthe notoriety to say... if you find it, pick it up. but there's a couple of them that arejust like, if you can find them, it might be worth your while to check out. metal jesus: yeah, definitely. and we wouldlove to know what you guys would like to see in the second video or the third?
john: there are so many. metal jesus: i mean, we can keep going. john: six hundred and seventy eight licensednintendo games. this is only 10 of them and we know the bigger ones, but even if you countall the bigger ones, you're only counting on basically two hands. so there are a lotof other hidden gems out there for sure. metal jesus: we'd love to know what you guyswould like to see in the next couple videos, and also what you thought about this video?we'd love to know! metal jesus: and dude, thanks for coming onman! john: my pleasure!
metal jesus: always awesome to have you here. john: my pleasure, always to be here. metal jesus: yes! thanks for watching my channel.thank you for subscribing and take care. metal jesus: it is always a pleasure havingmr. john riggs on my channel. he and i did a pretty comprehensive nes buying guide acouple of weeks back, so i'll link to that up in the corner. you should definitely checkit out if you're looking to jump into nes collecting. we've also done some imports andother things like that. so please subscribe to my channel, because i release two new videosevery week. i'm on a roll.
