I feel like this warrants its own topic... there's a surprisingly deep rabbit hole of non-console electronic games and a lot of discussion to go with it. (that I'm obsessive enough to care about, anyway) But anyway, there's a couple things I'd like to ask...

The Mini-Classics series of handhelds have a number of Nintendo-licensed releases. The majority of them are straight up rereleases of Game & Watch titles like Parachute, Fire, Mario's Cement Factory, etc. How would y'all feel about moving these to the Game & Watch console? It was just a fleeting thought until I found out that Nintendo put out the Micro Vs series of handhelds in the 80s without any G&W branding on any of the packaging or units themselves, yet they're still in the DB as G&W titles.

Last year I was trying to add every Tamagotchi line and variant to the DB. It's got quite a storied lineup and earlier series have a metric ton of variants. I got to, I think, the second series but had to stop because there was a cap on the number of variants one can add to one title. (In the 70's I think) Is there any way to circumvent this? Possibly even add a "Bandai Tamagotchi" console type to the DB. I think it's warranted.

Finally, I was recently made aware that there's a couple of electronic tabletop pinball games in the DB under Standalone handhelds. I don't think it's accurate to call them that, and come to think of it, those rather bulky Coleco tabletops either. Instead of making a new console, what would you say to renaming "Stand-Alone handhelds" to "Stand-Alone Handhelds & Tabletops"?

I agree Mini-Classics could have a home in the Game & Watch console. Might upset people trying to collect the "proper" Game & Watches though. Maybe Mini Classics should be its own console?

I agree Tamagotchi should be its own console.

Should Tabletops not be its own console? If no then yes I agree with the name change.
