Assembly is fun because it makes you feel like a wizard, even if you're bad and it's not an efficient way to code. Everyone should try it once.

One of my classes had us design our own 8 bit processor and assembly language. It was a lot of fun designing it. It was like a little puzzle to figure out how to get features into those limitations

You might enjoy the game Shenzhen I/O, it's a programming puzzle game about developing gadgets with limited space for code

I had a job where for whatever reason their codebase that was started in 2010 was mostly assembly
whenever I was upset with them, I would write the most esoteric assembly with zero comments explaining how whatever I was making worked
this is neither an endorsement nor a rebuke of assembly, just my (technically) professional experience with it

6502 especially. It's super goofy compared to anything that made the jump past 8-bit, but that's because it was designed for handwritten bytecode.
I would not recommend the NES, though. The video chip is fiddly and awful, and to this day, nobody's sure what color anything should be.
