Should this Mega Man discussion be in its own thread?
But yeah, I love MM4 for the NES. I think it's a great game, but nostalgia is a part of that -- it's the first Mega Man game I can remember playing, as the one friend I had as a kid who owned a NES Mega Man game had 4. Unless I played one of the other NES games sometime a bit but forget about it (this is possible, but couldn't amount to much playtime), I wouldn't play the rest of the NES games until the '00s, either when I played them in an emulator or when I got the Mega Man Anniversary Collection, which I beat all 6 NES games in. Of course I also had MMI and IV for the GB in the '90s, and played II, while I didn't get V until much later; I'm sure this is part of why I like IV more than V. So yeah I love MM4, but I don't know how to judge it without nostalgia... still though, regardless, it's my favorite one.
On the note of V though, the original bosses and such are great and it's mostly fantastic and one of the best Mega Man games, but I don't know that I'm a fan of the weird Mega Arm charge shot...

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team - $7, cart only. I've never played a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game, but I know what to expect and it's probably decently entertaining enough. This game is also interesting for being Nintendo's last first party GBA release (well, except for the US release of Final Fantasy VI if you count that, but Nintendo didn't originally publish that one...)
NES

1943: The Battle of Midway - $11, cart only
Millipede - $6, cart only - The shrunken play window is unfortunate but otherwise it's a great version.
Game Gear

Zoop - $7, cart in plastic case. Zoop is a good puzzler, so it's nice to have a portable version of it. It's also on the Game Boy, but without color this game would suffer a lot...
