I played the Game Boy version of DuckTales a lot growing up. I'd like to see that version as well as the Game Boy versions of its sequel and Darkwing Duck added on here. There are differences between the NES and Game Boy versions as far as how the levels are laid out and so on. Having both would be nice. There should be another Disney Afternoon Collection for the portable versions.

Mega Man X8 16-bit
Mega Man X8 16-bitA fan game made by AlyssonDaPaz. Bringing the original PS2 classic, MegaMan X8 back to it's 16-bit roots! Play as X and blast through a familiar yet fresh experience! Mega Man X8 16-bit is a reimagining of the PS2 original with SNES styled graphics. The aim was to demake X8 in a similar feel to the first three Mega Man X games, while trying to actually finish a low-scope fangame. After two and a half years of development, version 1.0 was released in September 7th 2024, making the game fully playable from start to finish with X, but Zero and Axl are not featured in the game in any capacity. In addition to the 16-bit graphics, the game differs from the original game by offering slightly different level designs at times, armor effects, and boss weapons.

Taz-Mania
Taz-ManiaA video game adaptation of the Taz-Mania cartoon, starring the Tasmanian Devil. One of several games based on the license, the Sega versions features the same story, but has a unique design and set of levels in the different platforms. Inspired by a tale his father told, Taz goes on a quest for the egg of a giant prehistoric seabird, which will lead him across the whole of Taz-Mania through 16 levels of platforming action. He must survive a desert, a jungle, a car factory, a mine and ancient ruins. Taz is able to run, jump, and spin fast to turn into his trademark whirlwind. While spinning, he can knock out most enemies he comes across. He can also pick up many different items and try to eat them or use them in another way. Most foods replenish his health, while eating hot peppers gives him a fire breath attack. Stars grant temporal invulnerability, while bombs should be thrown at enemies (and definitely not be eaten!).
