After the day one patch the game is working well for me. Early reviews should always be taken with a grain of salt. There was one part with some fps drops in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, but everything else seems good enough and his 60 fps for me. There were tons of switch games that looked horrible day one and with patches improved. Just be patient and keep an eye out for newer patches. This was expected to be honest.
For what we get for the price, it's well worth it considering the first and second game are one of the best action games of the last two console generations we've had even if we got the slightly nerfed Sigma ports of 1 and 2.
Though, the second game is the more stripped down version in terms of the number of enemies that appear as well as somewhat altered difficulty.
None the less, everything looks relatively fine when it comes to the resolution and frame rate and while some mulitplayer modes were cut, leaderboards are still here and provide some challenge for score runs.
Overall, it's a decent collection and I wonder why the reviewer for NintendoLife was so harsh on it when there wasn't much wrong with the individual games themselves, they were shown just as they were advertised and we'll never likely get the Xbox originals because of licensing and the sort of "scattered source code" that the developers mentioned they couldn't piece together. They should've at most given the collection a 7/10.
