I have managed to finally find a Nintendo A/V Famicom at a thrift store yesterday!! I still have my NES Top-Loader and the O.G. Famicom and the O.G. NES Front-Loader. What's nice about the A/V Famicom is that I can play my American NES controllers on the said console, except for the Zapper. The unit came with those 2 "dog-bone" controllers and a FC-to-NES adapter. A NES/Famicom enthusiast like me would enjoy those games I never got to play in the West. Now all I need is the Famicom Disk System!
As a Switch owner, I got to play this unique game on the NSO service. It credits SEGA as the publisher, since they merged with Sammy, the original publisher of the game. This game really blows my mind with the combination of platforming, rail shooting and vehicular combat.
@Orpheus79V Can't forget Space Harrier, Fantasy Zone 1 & 2, After Burner, Alien Syndrome and Shinobi. Adventure Island was basically a reskinned Wonder Boy and Puyo Puyo had their IP transferred to SEGA. Anything published by Sammy and Atlus back then is currently owned by SEGA.
When I had a Wii console, I downloaded Sin & Punishment and M.U.S.H.A.. Now I can enjoy these games again on the Switch Online Service. Those games never looked better in HD.
This oughta be a good idea for Eugene Jarvis. I think it should be an Arcade/N64 remastering, because I sure would enjoy playing N64 games on my Nintendo Switch Lite, whenever I travel.

I hope this becomes a reality. It would be nice to see the Switch Online Service get some Game Boy love.
