Before Kingdom Hearts took on the PlayStation where blending and integrating characters from multiple developers and resources was the norm, this was one of the best titles in the Capcom/Disney union.

Metroid II: Return of Samus – Game Boy
Amongst the discussion between the original NES game and the SNES Super Metroid, the series’ second installment, a Game Boy exclusive, is often overlooked. Metroid II: Return of Samus was polarizing during its day and remains a point of contention. For instance I enjoy the many gameplay mechanics and complex layout, but I also find the limited graphics tiresome and dated. Good or bad? You’ll have to decide for yourself.

Forever.
