@Guru_Larry The first Smash Bros. has models of skeletons when characters get electrocuted. In the case of Samus, it's the model of a woman with shoulders, arms and legs long enough to fit within the suit.
I'm assuming it's the same in Metroid. Or maybe not.
To my understanding, Twelve Tales is more like Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, a collectathon, while Conker's Bad Fur Day is more of an adventure game where you go around doing missions without a clear collectible beyond money.
Smooth Moves and Game & Wario (yes, it's a spin-off, but still counts) are my favorites in the series, but all of them always put me in a good mood.
Wish I had gotten Gold when I had a chance, though. Have played a bit of Get It Together!, my nephew has it but I want to save it for when I get my own copy so I can keep track of my progress without restarting.
Only to add to that comment.
-After some consideration and with the exception of the Virtual Boy (which I do own), all Nintendo handhelds are kind of like peers or equals in my mind. When it comes to the games, the weakness of a system is the strength of another, if that makes any sense.
EDIT: I'm realizing it's not 100% the same question, but the answer is roughly the same for both
The thing I love about the SNES mini is that, while it may have less games than its predecessor, the ones it has are among the greatest of its console (perhaps even of all time). Only if I could, I would have changed Kirby's Dream Course for Kirby's Dream Land 3 or Kirby's Avalanche (essentially Puyo Puyo), Street Fighter 2 Turbo for Super Street Fighter 2 (like the SFC mini) and add Dobkey Kong Country 2 and Panel de Pon (which was also included in the SFC mini) instead of waiting until the latter appeared in Nintendo Switch Online.
Other than that, I consider the SNES mini superior to the Super Famicom mini. The SFC mini has Panel de Pon, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, Super Street Fighter 2, The Legend of the Mystical Ninja (Goemon) and Super Soccer while the SNES mini has Kirby's Dream Course, EarthBound, Super Punch-Out!!, Super Castlevania IV and Street Fighter 2 Turbo in their place.
Can you get a legit competition out of this game? I mean, doesn't it have an auto generated map every time you start a new game? I know you can load a previously generated map, but is that how the competition goes? With an already generated map?
Both my Wii U and my 3DS are getting constant use, even more than my Switch, maybe it's due to their eShops closure. I actually favor the 3DS and Wii U as a duo over standalone Switch. Right now I'm only using my Switch to add funds to use on the past eShops.
Anyway, my Wii U has never had any issues since I got my New Super Mario Bros. U system on 2013 and I hope it continues like this, especially now that I'm turning it into "the" legacy system of my collection thanks to the robust Virtual Console selection it has.
The only actual issue I have had with it is LEGO City Undercover crashing on me a couple of times, but even then it was because I was just messing around with the vehicle spawn cheat.

Re: Rare Co-Founder Tim Stamper Posts Art For Cancelled NES Game
Makes me think of the cancelled Donkey Kong Racing and its reworked version Sabreman Stampede, which was also cancelled.

Re: Flashback: The Day Sega Took Over An F1 Race, And Ayrton Senna Lifted A Sonic Trophy
I'm not into F1 or racing in general, but Ayrton Senna is a name I know thanks to SEGA. I didn't know he was that associated with SEGA, though.

Re: Best Mini Classic Consoles
I only own the NES and SNES minis.
The thing I love about the SNES mini is that, while it may have less games than its predecessor, the ones it has are among the greatest of its console (perhaps even of all time).

Re: Not Used Your Wii U In A While? It Might Be Dead
Both my Wii U and my 3DS are getting constant use, even more than my Switch, maybe it's due to their eShops closure. I actually favor the 3DS and Wii U as a duo over standalone Switch. Right now I'm only using my Switch to add funds to use on the past eShops.

Re: Could This Obscure Manga Be The Inspiration For Metroid's Varia Suit?
Haven't watched it yet, but I will definitely.
The armour reminds of the Light Suit in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Only thing is that, ironically, the Light Suit doesn't have shoulder pads.
Re: Trademark For Intellivision Amico Has Been Abandoned
"It never looked good, folks"
There, I fixed it.
Re: Street Fighter II On The NES Looks Better Than You Might Expect
Nice. The only official fighting games from the NES/Famicom I can remember are Yie Ar Kung Fu and Joy Mech Fight.
Re: Intellivision's Amico Is Shaping Up To Be The Most 'Nintendo' Non-Nintendo System Ever
While I like the premise, the only thing that will make me buy this is if they manage to include the original BEEEEEE SEVENTEEEEEN BAWMER
Re: Random: Even If We Don't See Switch Pro Today, At Least We've Got The Atari VCS, Right?
Unlike Nintendo or even SEGA, I really don't have any sentiment attached to Atari, so this is an easy pass for me.
