Super Metroid is good. A bit like, say, Extermination. You can play it, have fun with it, but it's nothing special. ALTTP is as terrible as all the other-down Zelda games, which are collectively worth less than the original Alundra is, alone.

However, with MKII and MK3, I feel that there is no question that the SNES experiences were closer to the arcade experience. MKII for Genesis didn't even have all the fighting backgrounds (you fight Shao Khan in a different background than the arcade and SNES version)!
Gnah, forgot to omit MKII. 3 moved back to being great on the Genesis IMO, but yuo're right, II had some notable weaknesses.

Now what was that SNES game where you had like some crazy race on unicycles or something?
