@RaptorRed Coming in with the late reply, but ahh yeah! lol. It’s time! Haha. I wasn’t watching the State of Play live, but saw Twitter notifications pop up.
When I saw the one for the Mortal Kombat Kollection, I lost it as well. I actually thought it was someone playing a bad joke. So glad it turned out to be real.
Been waiting YEARS for this. My hopes years backs were a 90s-00s collection consisting of the arcade, console, and handheld versions, a ton of extras, alone with Digital Eclipse behind the project. Wish was granted! 😂🥲👍
The next project should be a Mortal Kombat collection. Developed and handled by Digital Eclipse, done exactly like the TMNT Cowabunga Collection.
Every arcade, console, and handheld Mortal Kombat released during the 90’s-the mid 00’s. SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, N64, Gameboy/Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Game Gear, PlayStation, Saturn, etc.
In-game museum of scanned box art, manuals, advertisements, promotional materials, full soundtracks, posters, artwork, sketches, design documents, etc.
This collection is unbelievably overdue, at this point. Warner Bros. needs to wake up, and make this one a reality. I want this more that anything they’ve released in the last couple decades.
Would have been nice if they had added alternate colors for Toad, Koopa Troopa, and Link.
And also the ability for two laps on N64 Rainbow Road, and two additional, alternate sky boxes for GBA Sunset Wilds, similar to the way the “Animal Crossing” course was handled back in 2015.
Would have made a nice, final update before World is released.
It’s kind of wild that it’s taken this long for them to catch up in the security and account features department.
By this, I mean (under you Nintendo Accout settings) being able to entirely lock devices with passwords and passcodes, sign-in and security, and account features like being able to see the devices you own under account via a website or official app (including serial number, model, and purchase date), detailed information about cloud information, purchases, etc.
They seem to be getting there. Under their “portal” portal of your Nintendo Account (via their website), you can see your console information like users, game systems (including serial numbers and virtual game card i.e. every game purchased), and system transfer info.
If they could integrate all this info under account settings like Apple ID, that would be fantastic.
I have to use this, all because Nintendo couldn’t make a dedicated Activity Log app to track daily playtimes and progress… that the 3DS and Wii U had before it. You can’t make this up.
14 titles confirmed, and the fact that at least a few more titles will be added in the future is a beautiful thing to see. Love when developers do this.
When this collection was first announced, I was bummed and confused as to why Gameboy and NES Tetris weren’t included, but forgot those were developed/done by Nintendo. So that wasn’t going to happen.
Shame Tetris DS and Tetris Axis aren’t here either, but it’s the same those those as well, with Nintendo properties involved.
Count me in as one of those that would love to see the Tengen version included as well in the future. Any versions of Tetris that they can get their hands on to include later on (Nintendo developed/published aside), the better.
Like the Cowabunga Collection, I really, REALLY hope they were able to include high resolution scans of all the original game boxes, full manuals, magazines advertisements, promotional materials, etc, as I don’t own any of the original releases. LOVE stuff like this!
If no multiple “seasons” for GBA Sunset Wilds, like the “Animal Crossing” course, then this update is pointless.
They already have appropriate skyboxes in the game already, that would be comparable to the original GBA release.
“Animal Crossing’s” autumn, magenta skybox for lap 2, and GCN Waluigi Stadium’s purple skybox for lap 3.
It’s insane that some random nobody on the internet can think up a solution that makes sense, and would work, yet the actual company who made this game, can’t seem to do so for whatever reason…
Hopefully this is done for Mario Kart Tour. There are WAY too many left over courses, characters, alternate costumes, and karts/kart parts that were not brought over to 8 Deluxe, which is a shame. Plus, the original mixes of the Tour course specific songs would be preserved. Win-win.
There’s no way I’ll ever get to experience this for obvious reasons, so a purchasable software like the $20, interactive “Louvre” app that was on the 3DS would be amazing. I would definitely purchase that in a heartbeat.
@DogDetective 100% this. I’m still waiting for “The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - Additional Art & Music from the Vaults” pre-order bonus to return for purchase.
I wasn’t even aware that this existed, as I missed out on the game’s initial release back in 2021, and didn’t purchase the game until last year.
From what I’ve watched on YouTube, it’s actually a well made, and substantial amount of music and art. Game is currently incomplete for those of us that can’t purchase it. It’s frustrating.
They did the same exact thing with Capcom Fighting Collection from 2022, which thankfully, I was able to buy in time to get the exclusive music tracks and artwork before they stopped the promotion.
@Vyacheslav333 Not at all. Actually, the only thing disappointing is the fact that they stopped the Booster Course Pass a year earlier than they should have.
It easily could have gone one more year to include the rest of the courses trapped on Tour, including the battle maps. And the rest of the original characters.
We’re never going to get that comprehensive Mortal Kombat and Tiny Toons collection by Digital Eclipse, content wise based off the excellent Cowabunga Collection, are we, because Warner Bros., right? 😔
@-wc- And if you want everything it has to offer, including all regional variants of the content like the ebooks, games, and other extras, be prepared to have 66.21GB of free space reserved. That’s what I did, and it’s the largest download on my Switch, with the cartridge required to even boot up anything! 😂
Performance/Quality Mode for the Switch version of Metal Gear’s 2 and 3 in the collection. Performance Mode is 720p/60fps docked. Quality Mode is the current 1080p/30fps docked. Handheld? Maybe 540-600p/60fps for Performance Mode, and the current 720p/30fps for Quality Mode.
Patch in the full, complete online manuals of all the games in the collection, to the actual in-game menu for offline viewing. Why did they make them online manuals, that requires an internet connection to view them in the first place? Sucks, because otherwise, the manuals here were really well done as digital versions.
Add the Gameboy Color version of Metal Gear as DLC. Free or paid, they should add it.
Not having online multiplayer support is insane itself, but not even including the option to allow for up to three additional turtles as CPU bots during gameplay is crazy to me.
If you have no one near you that plays video games, or doesn’t have additional controllers, it essentially ends up being a single player experience at the end of the day, on a multiplayer-centric release.
Not even peer-to-peer online like the Cowabunga Collection. Nobody is demanding dedicated servers for online multiplayer(which would be nice), but you couldn’t even offer the former as an option? The game isn’t DOA, but it’s close with dumb decision making like this…
Unfortunately, I don’t see them doing these at all, especially since it’d possibly mess with the framerate, especially in races above two players. Who knows. Would love to see it, though.
@HalBailman What’s wrong with Mirror Mode, especially as an option? It’s a nice change of pace, and it’s nice being thrown off at times.
It’s not racing, but take Ocarina of Time 3D for instance. The Master Quest variant is now mirrored, and everything being flipped gives the over world and dungeons a brand new feel, and a new take on gameplay.
Things feel off from your normal objective, and it’s pretty cool twist. Makes you think things a little differently. I do agree on Reverse Mode, though. Loved that in MKT.
@X68000 This is EXACTLY what I’ve been wanting for awhile now. After Mario 35, I don’t trust them with these “99” games, and them being preserved.
I would love a DLC pack with an offline mode, more tracks, more unlockables, and more achievements. I bought the DLC for Tetris 99 and PAC-Man 99, with zero regrets.
Where is Cowabunga Collection: Vol. 2 with all the GCN, PS2, Xbox, GBA, and DS Konami games? Also, Manhattan Missions as a bonus game?
I don’t foresee them holding onto the license for the next 5-10 years, so they need to make this one a reality before time runs out, and they can’t make one anymore.
It amazes me that you still can’t just set a background by itself, as an icon. I don’t like the fact that they force you to add a character to it, in order to be able to use it. Seems pointless to even offer backgrounds if you’re going to enforce this… 🙄
This is absolutely awesome. Love Digital Eclipse. Not surprised. Just look at how the Cowabunga Collection was handled. Boatloads of bonus material, in addition to every single arcade console, and handheld game from the original 80’s cartoon. They definitely got my support with this collection.
Glad they’re able to continue to work on outside projects without issue. After the likes of the Mega Man Collection, Disney Afternoon Collection, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and the Cowabunga Collection, I’d be furious if they wouldn’t be able to be behind a Mortal Kombat Kollection, a Tiny Toons Collection, and an Adventure Island Collection, among others.
@Serpenterror Yeah, agreed, definitely. I feel like they really nailed this update, except for addressing the audio quality issues in S3&K.
We know the MJ tunes are out, but the quality of the Jun Senoue rendition of Carnival Night’s 1 & 2 is absolutely atrocious.
Earlier build or not (according to some), they still sound terrible compared to the November 1993 prototype versions. Seriously wish they would address this…
@NatiaAdamo While not the greatest, compared to the botch job on three specific zones Senoue ruined with his versions, I can live with the new version of the Super Sonic Theme. The sound front should have at least been in vein of what was used for Sonic 3, though.
But will it fix the terrible Jun Senoue renditions of Carnival Night Act’s 1 & 2? There are higher quality, cleaner, more complete versions of the prototype music for the Carnival Night, Ice Cap, and Launch Base zones.
@shoeses Some people in the livestream brought up the possibility of adding online for TMNT II: The Arcade Game. They pretty much shot down that idea due to them feeling that adding this one would help take away focus from the games they’ve already included for online. Seems like a missed opportunity. Happy that Manhattan Project is a lock, at least. This one definitely needed online.
@Antray1984 Thankfully, that’s the only change, as far as audio goes. It’s an absolute miracle that everything else on the audio side of things was left completely untouched. Quite impressive, considering the IP we’re dealing with here, and how stubborn most IP holders tend to be these days, not wanting to play ball with others.
Have had one since launch. I did buy a Xbox Series S for $250 w/free $50 GC, some digital Nintendo eShop GC’s (BOGO 15% off at Target), and bought a few games off the eShop (Sonic Origins Deluxe, and Cruis’n Blast).
@Austrian They did remove the original design, leaving the existing area completely blank. They added back in the design that was used for Street Fighter V, and it looks fantastic.
Nice. I was hoping they’d update the sun design in E. Honda’s stage after they did so for Capcom Fighting Collection. And the other QOL changes are very welcome as well. Really hope we get a third Stadium next year. Love these collections! 😁
Ready for more Vancouver Velocity! 😁. Shame it ain’t coming to Deluxe until next year. Also happy Los Angeles Laps is back, and a New York Minute battle course sounds interesting. Looking forward to this next tour. Should be a good one! 👍
Gonna need that Kombat Kollection, and one that’s given the same treatment as seen in the Cowabunga Collection.
Every single arcade, console, and portable version of all the 90’s/early 00’s games. Scans of every manual, flattened scans of all game box art, design documents, advertisements, etc. Online play.
That’s literally all I’d want to see from this 30th anniversary celebration. Do this, and it’s an instant day one buy.
Would love Wind Waker + Twilight Princess HD combo pack for $70 (won’t happen), but would probably cost $100, lol.
Would love to see HD remasters Ocarina of Time, and Majora’s Mask. Will never happen, but a person can dream.
Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Games sequel. I don’t know exactly what else they would include in a sequel that it’s predecessor doesn’t have already, but I’m sure there’s a good amount of genres that missed the cut last go around.
Brand new F-Zero game, or at least an HD remaster.
Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, and Gamecube for NSO.
They keep beating around the bush regarding Sonic 3 & Knuckles soundtrack, whether the Brad Buxer/Michael Jackson tracks are included or not. They simply refuse to acknowledge what’s going on here.
At this point, everyone may as well accept this as a way of saying that they’re not going to be included in this release, and that it’s the prototype versions only, which sucks for a lot of us that grew up on the former versions. They’re mostly good, but not what I, and a lot of us remember.
The very least they could have done (assuming they couldn’t get the rights to those tracks) was contract Tee Lopes to re-do the entire OST to S3&K in the “Mania” style sound, in addition to including the original prototype versions (cleaned up and remastered). That would have at least taken a bit of the sting off of losing those tracks.
@Suess I mean, it really wasn’t in that kind of tone, but if that’s how you want to look at it, then it’s all fine and well. I was saying what the service needed, while at the same time, being playful with my comment. Kinda like a “k, thanks, bye”. Not a “They better add these to the service or else”.
Anyone else wish they had included the Game Boy Color, and Sega Master System version as well?
Watching some videos of these online, and I have to say, these are really impressive for the hardware they ran on.
The Game Boy Color one was done by Crawfish Interactive. They’re defunct as a company now, so I wonder if that’s why that version isn’t here. A real bummer.
The original Game Boy version is pretty bad in comparison to it, and the “Handheld Color” version on the collection is simply the Super Game Boy palette.
Wasn’t the original 2019 release of this collection priced at $29.99? This DLC upgrade is $9.99. That’s $40. This new re-release with everything included is $29.99.
Why exactly are they charging $10 more to upgrade, instead of simply delisting the old version, and offering the new version for free to existing owners?
Similar to how NBA Playgrounds, and Uno was handled. The older versions were delisted, and the new versions were marked as free, automatically, for those who owned the previous versions.
Of course they announce this literally days after the NSO vouchers had to be used before the 1-year expiration 🙄🤦♂️. One of the games I actually wanted to use a voucher for if the game actually became a reality. Great! 😒

They keep beating around the bush regarding Sonic 3 & Knuckles soundtrack, whether the Brad Buxer/Michael Jackson tracks are included or not. They simply refuse to acknowledge what’s going on here.
At this point, everyone may as well accept this as a way of saying that they’re not going to be included in this release, and that it’s the prototype versions only, which sucks for a lot of us that grew up on the former versions. They’re mostly good, but not what I, and a lot of us remember.
The very least they could have done (assuming they couldn’t get the rights to those tracks) was contract Tee Lopes to re-do the entire OST to S3&K in the “Mania” style sound, in addition to including the original prototype versions (cleaned up and remastered). That would have at least taken a bit of the sting off of losing those tracks.
Re: Nintendo Updates Its 'Switch Online + Expansion Pack' Trailer With New Footage
@Suess I mean, it really wasn’t in that kind of tone, but if that’s how you want to look at it, then it’s all fine and well. I was saying what the service needed, while at the same time, being playful with my comment. Kinda like a “k, thanks, bye”. Not a “They better add these to the service or else”.
Re: Nintendo Updates Its 'Switch Online + Expansion Pack' Trailer With New Footage
Needs more Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, and Gameboy/Gameboy Color. Thanks.
Re: Sonic Origins Arrives 23rd June, New Trailer And Website Are Live
@RupeeClock Someone else already beat me to it, but as stated, $39.99 standard, $44.99 Digital Deluxe. No words…
Re: Sonic Origins Arrives 23rd June, New Trailer And Website Are Live
That price… ouch. And no bonus games like the “Mega” and “Gems” collection…
Re: 'Disney Classic Games Collection' DLC Upgrade Will Be Available for $9.99
Anyone else wish they had included the Game Boy Color, and Sega Master System version as well?
Watching some videos of these online, and I have to say, these are really impressive for the hardware they ran on.
The Game Boy Color one was done by Crawfish Interactive. They’re defunct as a company now, so I wonder if that’s why that version isn’t here. A real bummer.
The original Game Boy version is pretty bad in comparison to it, and the “Handheld Color” version on the collection is simply the Super Game Boy palette.
Re: 'Disney Classic Games Collection' DLC Upgrade Will Be Available for $9.99
Wasn’t the original 2019 release of this collection priced at $29.99? This DLC upgrade is $9.99. That’s $40. This new re-release with everything included is $29.99.
Why exactly are they charging $10 more to upgrade, instead of simply delisting the old version, and offering the new version for free to existing owners?
Similar to how NBA Playgrounds, and Uno was handled. The older versions were delisted, and the new versions were marked as free, automatically, for those who owned the previous versions.
Re: Finally, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Switch OLED Model, The 'Switch Pro' We've Been Expecting
Where’s the power increase for games, like higher resolution and framerate bumps? Happy this finally exists, though.
Re: Pikmin 3 Deluxe: 19 Glorious Screenshots, Box Art, File Size And More Details
Of course they announce this literally days after the NSO vouchers had to be used before the 1-year expiration 🙄🤦♂️. One of the games I actually wanted to use a voucher for if the game actually became a reality. Great! 😒
