Here's one I got for free on the 3DS. At first it was as hard as any NES game I'd ever played. I couldn't even beat the first level. Frustrated and bewildered, I turned to a Let's Play video on YouTube - not the first time I've done it, and it won't be the last - and immediately it was clear that I'd been misunderstanding two or three different game dynamics. Say what you want about modern day tutorials taking the "learning" aspects out of video games, but it's amazing how wide open to interpretation it is that, say, hearts in this game represent currency and not health.
Kid Icarus felt a lot like a good Sega Genesis game, which makes it one of the less impressive NES titles I've experienced.
