Topic: Data East Arcade Classics

I third this opinion, Burgertime is amazing! I'll be very interested to see how they dealt with the rotary controller from Heavy Barrel, one of my fave Data East games. Always a pain to emulate that. On MAME I end up using two face buttons on my controller for clockwise/anti-clockwise rotation and it's a bit awkward; hopefully they were able to do better.

Heavy Barrel is all i needed to hear i love this game , its way better than ikari warriors. its so funny i was talking to my brother and i said member when we use to play that one game way back. we couldnt remember it for anything , then last week i go on nintendo channel and hes data east as if they had to bring a dream to life. i also want that slam dunk game is that on there as well ?

No game by that name (and G-Mode doesn't seem to have a game with that title in the Data East IP list), but there's a game called Street Hoop in the collection -- could be part of the same series?

Burgertime!! Good, hard, arcade game. I should get this compilation someday.

I would love to get this collection sometime, the cheap price really helps out my plans to get it to, but my backloggery is creaping up on me!

So it has finally come out? None of the GameStop stores in my area have even heard of it.

Video Games Plus says 09 February for release still (delayed from an original January launch). I'm hoping I'll get an email Monday telliing me my order is on its way!

FYI, a little late, but I got the notification it's posted today. With any luck I'll have it next week, so it should be something I can shoehorn between reviewing Super Monkey Ball and the new Bleach game.

I still play Burgertime on my Gameboy, so..

Burgertime on the GB?
Are you blind yet?

? why?

Well, I remember it always giving me a headache when I tried to play it on the Game Boy (to be honest I always had a low tolerance for the original GB screen).

Somebody needs to do a Video review of the collection and put it on Youtube.

I have Burgertime for the Game Boy Pocket. It's quite hard, but fun.

I'm going to make a shocking confession. For years, I thought the game Heavy Barrel was made by SNK, not Data East. Now I'm fully corrected I can let the healing begin.

Anyway they should have included Bloody Wolf. I played the TG-16 version and its really fun. The arcade version would have been a nice game to include on this collection mostly because it retains the co-op mode.

IGN gave it a 5. That ain't gonna stop me from getting it though.
BTW, is anybody gonna review it on this site?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I said something along those lines earlier in the thread. Expect it in the next couple of weeks (assuming they didn't post it by sea from Canada)!
