Game Overview

Big Bird's Hide & Speak is one of those NES games that makes you go, "Wait, that's it?" in the best way possible. You just move Little Bird around Big Bird's house with the D-pad—no jumping, no fighting, just peeking into windows to spot Sesame Street characters hiding inside.

The controls couldn't be simpler: tap a button when you think you've found Ernie or the Count, and Big Bird cheers you on. It's clearly meant for little kids, but there's something weirdly satisfying about how stripped-down it is. I spent way too long as an adult seeing how fast I could find Grover.

Honestly, it's more of an interactive toy than a game, but that's exactly why it works. The whole thing feels like playing hide-and-seek with a bunch of fuzzy puppets.
