The Hudson Bee is at the beginning of the game so if you fuck up you can go and get her, and yes the game is hard as fuck but i do not thing is hard like in the Ninja Gaiden series where the game is just fucking cheap, also Adventure Island 4 is amazing, one of the best Famicom games out there.

I'm guessing because it wasn't a unique NES hard game, just a slightly easier port of Wonderboy. Most games on the NES that are considered NES hard tend to be exclusives, like Ninja Gaiden, Battletoads, Mega Man, Castlevania 3, etc. At least, that's my theory.

Because it's a repetitive, boring, long-ass game.

Same reason nobody brings up the countless other early NES games that are long, repetitive, and fucking hard. It doesn't feel intentionally hard based on conscious design, instead just galloping after the zeitgeist of the time and not really standing out in any way.

It's insanely hard though

The only hard part of the game is the second to last stage.

With the falling platforms and the bats? I'm there. That's why I'm raging.

Don't know, just remember that it was tough. I beat it when I was like 5 though so it must not've been too tough.

These. Most of the game is basically walk forward to the end of the level.
