I loved T&E2. So different than 1 but still fantastic. Although I really loved 1 and its difficulty.
---

Shadowrun is incredible.
---

i didn't play t&e1 until the virtual console but i fucking hated it

maybe t&e2 is tinted by nostalgia because it's been 20 years probably but it was amazing
---

None of the games you mentioned were in the running

Pulse Man
Gunstar Heroes
---

now that i think about it though i didn't even own t&e2, my buddy did

i don't know what possessed my parents to buy me cool spot but i loved it. i was shocked to find people had even heard of it.

then again i also unironically loved shaq fu as a kid

Most of the recommendations here are good choices (some are in that collection, such as Ristar), but of the ones that aren't, definitely Landstalker, Cool Spot and ZAMN are worth playing.

Too many others I could name too. Depends what sort of game you are after.

TMNT Fighter

I'm sorry this game is bullshit
---

I just tried it and it's fucking horrible

Genesis does what nintendont

Which is fucking fail
---

I was excited about playing hyperstone heist because it's basically playing Turtles in Time, one of my FAVORITE games of all time, with a new coat of paint

But uhhhhh we'll see!
---

I kinda like Hyperstone Heist better than Turtles in Time. The main drawback is that there are only a few levels (and thus, only a few bosses), but the levels are each much longer than anything in Turtles in Time, and the longer stretches without an end-of-level health refill make it more challenging. Also adding to the challenge is that there's no instant kill screen throw, and the enemy whip move is only an instant kill on the guy you whip, not anybody you whip him into.

I like the control scheme with pressing a button to run instead of either of the run control options on SNES, and it's especially cool that the default button layout lets you do an instant slide attack by sliding your thumb across the buttons (run->jump->attack). I also like that they reduced the recovery on Leonardo's 4th combo hit. That change alone takes him from completely unplayable in Turtles in Time to my preferred character in Hyperstone Heist.

Doesn't one of the xmen games require you to hit reset on the console?

Yup, and really lightly no less.
