Rygar And Aggressors of Dark Kombat Join Hamster's Growing Switch Library Tomorrow

2 titles I find interesting but reviews aren't that good. I'll have to think about it.

I wouldn't mind getting Rygar, It's one of my favourite old school arcade games. A HD remaster of the PS2 remake would also be a good fit for Switch.

I played Rygar for a bit on an arcade machine at work. I didn't realize that its stick was broken and didn't register turning left, I just assumed you couldn't turn backwards in the game!

How difficult is Rygar, people? Frustrating difficult? Aside from that, do you think it's an enjoyable game in 2018 by someone like me that loves to discover classic games that I missed because I was too young or just didn't frequent arcades?

For instance, I read bad things about Renegade's playability today, but bought it and I'm enjoying it.

I'd prefer the nes version of Rygar, it was a far superior game in my opinion. That said though, I might have to pick up the arcade version out of nostalgia.

I wonder how different the Neo Geo version of Rygar is from the NES version. I played that last one and nearing the end the difficulty was brutal. Worst of all, no way to safe your game!

Rygar!!!!!

@Vriess That looks like a typo in the article (or extra copy/paste) as it didn't come out for the NEOGEO. And Tecmo didn't develop any games for the platform, either. (EDIT: They made Tecmo World Soccer '96) That's just the regular arcade version of Rygar.

I remember playing Rygar on the SMS!

Dark Kombat is ok. It’s different from the usual fighting games.

Rygar on NES was great!!!
Rygar in the arcade was just ok.

It's one of two NES games I really wish we could get on VC over their arcade counterparts. The same wish I've had since the Wii.

Also, anybody know the next batch of Neo Geo games coming?

Wish ACA would release a racer like Final Lap 2.... with two players

I really loved Rygar on NES back in the day, i'm curious the differences between the neogeo and NES, i see that it doesn't show the overworld on the neogeo screenshots. Wondering if it's just side scroll stages only.

Two more for the collection.

@dougphisig
Yeah it is a little different. Like others on here, I prefer the NES version. It seems to be more of a Metroidvania type game while the arcade version is more of an arcade side-scroller. But it is still worth a purchase to me. I still find it fun.

I’m not very fond of the arcade version of Rygar. I love the NES version on the other hand, and i really hope to see a remaster or remake of that one day.

Aggressors of Dark Combat!!!! Kisarah Westfield!!! SHE should've been or should still be a DLC character for SNK Heroines!!!!

Ahh Rygar..one of my fav games from childhood..I lost many 10p’s playing this lol now where is Bubble Bobble?

So just making sure, Rygar did not come out on the Neo-Geo, right? This is the arcade version released in the 80's that Hamster is releasing I believe.

Yeap this is arcade Rygar, not NES Rygar but whatever I'm still glad we got one. Both were released on the Wii VC so I expect both to come to Switch at some point.

@dougphisig @Moroboshi876
This game is straight up side scroller arcade action with TONS of enemies coming at you at once. It's not as rediculous as say, Ghost 'N' Goblins crazy, but the screen can fill up really fast with enemies. The true aim of arcade Rygar is to get to the goal PERIOD. If you can power up the Diskarmor along the way, GREAT, but you must keep moving or the time and enemies will kill you. To this date, I have yet to get past the last stage, and I even dumbed down the difficulty when I played it on Wii U. You have to get into a rhythm with it, and once you do, battle just flows.

I also wanted to comment on Aggressors of Dark Kombat. I had never heard of this game, but I like the sound of it's grapple breaking, plane shifting mechanic at least. I don't really do vs fighters, but if I hear someone is looking for a fighting game curio, I'll let them know about it.

Absolutely loved rygar on nes but never played the arcade version. I may hold out and see if the nes version ever comes to NESflix as I find alot of the arcade games hard to enjoy due to difficulty.

RYGAR!

If i was to go purely on nostalgia from my cabinet-trolling days in the summer of 1986, Rygar would have to be in my top 5 arcade games.

I already have the arcade port on Wii VC, but i will definitely be picking this up.

@the_shpydar
"i will definitely be picking this up."
ive seen you pick up an arcade cabinet before with one arm. no sweat, you made it look so easy

@masterLEON Really picky correction, but Tecmo actually DID make one game for the Neo Geo: the oh so creatively titled Tecmo World Soccer '96.

@firenze Ah, I stand corrected. Obvious name is obvious, lol.
