Metroid was originally released in Japan on the Famicom Disk system in August 1986 and arrived in North America in August 1987 on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Metroid follows Samus Aran, a bounty hunter, who undertakes a mission to destroy Mother Brain.
In 2004, Metroid was redone on the Game Boy Advance under the name Metroid: Zero Mission.
At the E3 2017, Nintendo announced that Metroid Prime 4 was in development and Captain Marvel's Brie Larson had recently stated that she wanted to play Samus Aran in a Metroid movie.
Mighty Bomb Jack was released in 1986 by Tecmo for the NES. It's a platform game that follows Jack as he crosses a pyramid in the hope of defeating the Belzebut demon and rescuing the Pamera Royal Family.
In our review of Mighty Bomb Jack, because when he appeared on the Wii's Virtual Console, we said: "Mighty Bomb Jack is a bad candidate for your investment in time."
TwinBee is a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up made by Konami in the vein of Namco's Xevious. It features a comic book style and was released for the Famicom disc system in 1988.
TwinBee was originally an arcade game and was also launched in Japan and other regions as a classic 3D for the Nintendo 3DS in 2011.
Nintendo Switch Online went live on September 18, 2018 and, with its subscription fees, provided access to NES games, cloud backups, online gaming and the ability to order NES wireless controllers for Switch.
