A while ago I googled for lists of the best Neo Geo games. I looked for ranked lists at least 25 games long. I ended up finding 7 qualifying lists with 132 unique games and a total of 410 separate entries. I assigned points based on rank and added it all up.
Here (in order) are the games from that Top 25 that didn't get an entry here:
Metal Slug X: Super Vehicle-001 (enhanced version of Metal Slug 2)
The Top 10 were:
1.) Streets of Rage 2 / Bare Knuckle 2
2.) Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles
3.) Sonic the Hedgehog 2
4.) Contra: Hard Corps
5.) Gunstar Heroes
6.) Sonic the Hedgehog
7.) Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium
8.) Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master
9.) Shining Force II
10.) Beyond Oasis / The Story of Thor: A Successor of the Light
All of them except for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles are available on the Switch via the Nintendo Switch Online and/or the Sega Genesis Classics Collection.

A while ago I searched the Internet for lists of the best Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games. They had to be ranked lists, at least 50 games long. I found 16 qualifying lists, assigned points based on rank and added it all up.
I ended up with 397 unique titles and 1,465 entries.
Gaiares ended up a Top 60 Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game. It finished just above Panorama Cotton which was another shmup recently released on the Switch.

I'd buy Battletoads & Double Dragon on Switch in a second!
Re: GamesMaster Returns For A New Series Next Year
As a Canadian, I had never heard of the series until the reboot. I watched and enjoyed all the new ones!
Re: Gallery: Checking Out Retro-Bit's 'Battletoads & Double Dragon' And 'Avenging Spirit' Reissues
There is still no Battletoads on Switch.
Sometimes life just doesn't make sense...
