Are you that crazy to pay that much for a prototype of a game that doesn't even let you pause?

SNES and Kirby Super Star in 1996 take that honor.

I learned about the Famicom's original square buttons thanks to Sakurai's video on the Famicom and I was reminded on the video uploaded by Nintendo, Co. Ltd on the Famicom 40th Anniversary, I recall they mentioned something about the matter as well.

Just to add to the story:

Lip did make an appearance in Panel de Pon DS and Chotto Panel de Pon, the Japanese version of Planet Puzzle League and Puzzle League Express. Lip's Stage from the Super Famicom game can be unlocked, complete with an arrangement of the original song. I don't know how to unlock it in the Chotto version, but in the full game you unlock it by pretty much completing the game. In the western version it was dummies out but it's still accessible using a device such as an Action Replay DS.

According to a British magazine, the original game was gonna be rebranded as a Killer Instinct spinoff. Can you imagine the hotchpotch it would've been had it been released with the Killer Instinct characters and the announcer shouting "ULTRA COMBOOOO!"?

How much attention is given to the other 13% in relation to current/modern games, though.

And yes, while the number is alarmingly high, it's not like it's impossible to play most of those games currently unavailable. Though for some, sadly it is impossible.

Shouldn't the cartridge be purple?

I gotta admit, as someone who at the arcades mostly played Pac-Man and The King of Fighters 2000 and 2002 (with KOF2002 perhaps being the most popular arcade game in Mexico aside from Pump It Up), I have a level of appreciation to the company whose efforts have brought us Sky Skipper, VS. Super Mario Bros., VS. Ice Climber, the Punch-Out!! arcade games and Tetris: The Grand Master 1 and 2 (and while we don't have any concrete confirmation, I'm convinced TGM3 is also coming).

I hope with their efforts we can have Nintendo's Sheriff and Popeye (I heard that apparently Popeye will be public domain in the near future), Namco's Gee Bee (Toru Iwatani's debut game), Bomb Bee (which had a Nintendo-published version, making it the of the earliest collaborations between both companies), Cutie Q and Warp & Warp, SNK vs. Capcom: Chaos.

Could it be used as the Gamecube's own screen? I'm all for it if it's possible. Though mine would be kept unmodded.

I'm guessing any issues they had in regards to rereleases have been apparently resolved, as we now have the arcade versions of Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. and Sky Skipper on Arcade Archives.

Isn't it now possible to have that pre-release lid by simply 3d printing it?

That's too much money to get the power, Nintendo Power! I'd rather not have that power if I have to pay that much.

Let me ask a perfectly legit question: why?

Tetris DS is my absolute favorite Tetris, Tetris 99 and Tetris Effect: Connected are good runner-ups.

Come to think of it, what Tetris games have I played?
Tetris (GB), Tetris Worlds on the Gamecube
Tetris DS, An Andrioid game pre-installednon my phone simply called Tetris made by Electronic Arts, Tetris Axis on the 3DS
Tetris 99, Tetris Effect: Connected (I describe this one as Tetris on crack), Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 and Tetris: The Grand Master (via Arcade Archives) on Switch, as well as the recent Electronika 60 replica.
I'm thinking about buying Japanese eShop credit for my Japanese account to add Tetris Diamond (via G-MODE ARCHIVES) to my Switch as well.

I intend to keep my original hardware free of mods, though I also intend to get another 3DS that's modded. Modded systems seem to be the norm around my area and they're not very expensive.

I plan to do the same with the Wii U.

As a Wii game, sure, I like it. But as a Mario Kart at the time, I much preferred Double Dash!!. Still, I enjoyed it when Blue Shells weren't involved

Toad Factory, Dry Dry Ruins and Moonview Highway need to make a comeback on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, though.

@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.

Makes me think of the cancelled Donkey Kong Racing and its reworked version Sabreman Stampede, which was also cancelled.

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.

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.

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.

I think I already responded to this on NintendoLife: https://www.nintendolife.com/features/talking-point-which-nintendo-console-has-the-best-first-party-games-lineup#comment7440869

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

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). 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.

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.

"It never looked good, folks"

There, I fixed it.

Nice. The only official fighting games from the NES/Famicom I can remember are Yie Ar Kung Fu and Joy Mech Fight.

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

Unlike Nintendo or even SEGA, I really don't have any sentiment attached to Atari, so this is an easy pass for me.
