@Teksette agree. I’ll be on PS5 for Requiem, eventually.

Interesting. I may have to buy a few of these as they’ll likely be the only hard copy releases. 😅

Hope they’re not AI upscaled 😂

I’ll buy a physical copy if they’re doing one but I’ll wait in the meantime. Looking good!

@VGFreak1225 so we buy a game we like more than once, I think. Highly aggravating way of trolling their customers.

@Ganner Brooks was here. So was Red.

That was so bad it wasn’t even accidental ASMR. As an ad it looks uninspired and unfinished, like someone hired the actor because a budget was approved and just showed up and winged it. That did not need to be longer than 30 seconds, lol, and I’m definitely not any more hyped for Pokémon.

Waiting on Bimmy Lee and Co. Revive (again) the corpse just in time for Halloween!!! 🎃

The controllers look decent though I’ve never used any TB accessories.

That Mario case… I like the idea of it keeping with ‘80s and ‘90s art style but it looks sloppy in a bad way, like someone traced over the artist’s work or something.

@anoyonmus excellent. For some reason that excites me much more than SH2, though they’re both awesome.

The thing I’m always drawn to in SH1 is the way the game quickly disorients you and creates that sense of dread. I wonder how the remake will turn out. How could they achieve this on modern hardware? I’m talking specifically about the intro alley camera angles and what happens thereafter. It’s classic PS1 jank and limitations that are forever burned into my mind. Not sure anything can take its place or hold up to that. For me.

@topsekret I want some crunchy Konami bacon strips!

Good points regarding the things I forgot above

I have the original PS2 copy and will likely get the PS5 version of SH2R on deep sale one day. I was able to buy the RE remake disc copies for $20-30 each so there’s no way I’m paying full price on SH2. I’ve heard it’s very good but I certainly didn’t think the RE4R was better than the original. Played them back to back, and felt the remake was good but missing some magic. Maybe I’ll have to go back to it later this fall. It’s a fantastic November game for me.

@ShadLink that bullet-pointed bit is a fair point. I guess it depends on whether one is more interested in the old games or their remakes, but more options for these games are better. Case in point I have RE4-5-6 collection but it would have been nice to have the remakes and playable versions of 7-8 on S1.

I think I read SH1 is getting the remake treatment so that could also be really good. Would be interesting to see how it’s adapted since it’s significantly more old school than SH2 which I’d argue still is very playable today, more so than SH1.

I’ll only consider if they release a $90 GKC that forces you to play via the cloud 👶

@The_Nintendo_Pedant yes to all of this. Agree with this sentiment!

@SegaDude113 It could be, but do slightly modified animations add that much data? If the audio is not compressed, then maybe, but why so much being added that wasn't already there? It still doesn't sound like this game was finished and ready to go on Switch for release day. I've got plenty to play, so I can circle back 👍

@Pillowpants that, plus a 4.1GB patch for a 2D game. So glad I held off. And now DLC.

As mentioned by someone else, the mystery of game unlocks and the excitement of discovery is mostly a thing of the past, sadly.

At this point, I think I’ll also be awaiting a complete game before considering playing.

I didn’t like the look of DD Gaiden before I played and I loved that one, got tons of playtime, hold one of the records and just ended up having a blast with it. I also was able to play online with a buddy from another part of the country! I’ll give Revival a whirl and see how it goes.

All I want is fun gameplay and good sound. And an arcade mode.

LRG releasing a v1 physical for games is lame. Glad I just decided to hold off. Hopefully there will be a complete S1 copy down the road with zero downloads.

Shame they didn’t polish their game for launch.

@SpaceboyScreams “ Bonus bonus bonus points if she can get all of the game announcement trailers to stop talking to me like I'm 5.”

Seriously. I’ve been wondering why they’re doing this. It’s unwatchable. Get us excited for the games, already!

These look amazing, but I’ve got my LRG copies for all three, and own original carts for all games on the first collection and some for the advance collection, so I’m good.

These updated editions by Super Deluxe look lovingly crafted and a great value, so it’s very tempting, but I’ve got other games I want to pick up and add to my library.

Thanks for sharing these!

I don’t do live service games, and two years is quick. Seems like it would have been a total ripoff and a terrible waste of time.

@Serpenterror Well said. Retro gaming wins again.

I hope the people asking for DLC are not asking to pay more. “Please sell me the rest of the game.”

MKW launched just a few months ago and is very clearly following a service model. It was incomplete and $80+. I miss the Iwata days of Nintendo.

@Kiyata The game was not finished. It’s going to be years in the making. Buckle up! 😃✌️

@MontyCircus I pre-ordered volumes 9 and 10 for $39.99 USD each a day ago on play-asia. I used the Physical Paradise discount code “JORDAN2025” and it ships to my door for $84.

VGP and PNP are $43.50 and $43.99, respectively, but buying both volumes will qualify you for free shipping. Think my carts showed $87.99 and $86.99. I saved money with PA 😃

@Darthmoogle we were both expecting this, lol. Would be nice to have the whole game if we’re waiting and spending (more) on physical. Shredder’s Revenge Syndrome!!!

Very happy volumes 9 and 10 are coming before the year is up, with Magician Lord and Metal Slug 3!

I still would like at least one more volume with Robo Army, Eight Man, and honestly, whatever is left that they have converted. I think I read that 108 NEOGEO games have been released on Switch ACA. Been enjoying volumes 1-6 and discovering a bunch of games that I would have passed over if we’d gotten standard collections. Usually this mish-mash of games would bother me, but somehow it doesn’t. I never got into SNK fighters or even knew about shmups besides Last Resort, but Blazing Star is awesome as are many of the fighting games. Been having too much fun!

@MTMike87 I agree! I have some of these nostalgic “memory” games too (plenty, in fact across many consoles) but I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone who didn’t have them as a kid.

@SalvorHardin This sounds like an awful collection and awful value, at that.

@liljmoore nope, I miss that too!! DLC characters and season passes… barf!🤢

@ArcadianLegend99 I’d be down for a SEGA arcade series. Make collections including action, puzzle, fighting, brawlers, sports, shmups, etc. I’m loving my ACA NEOGEO Selection volumes 1-6 lately.

I’m probably alone on this, but I want this from Konami too. Put them on a cart and use the Hamster arcade ports in a wrapper, and I’m there. I’d snatch them all up. Sort of reminds me of the Japan only PS2 collections I never got to have in the West.

@OldManHermit haven’t yet played, but that’s a little disappointing.

@PKDuckman yes, I’ve been buying multi language and physical copies from that region as often as possible to avoid them when I can.

“What if there were no tomorrow?”

“That’s not happiness to see me.”

“And you as well.”

Well played, Nintendo Life 👍

This sounds pretty scummy. It’s Nintendo in 2025. Why am I surprised? Lol.

@TheBoilerman I will look into this. Thanks!

@Daggot I've never played PQ before today, but I read online in a forum that it had a bit of input delay. FPS was fine, but the game just felt laggy, for lack of a better description.

When I played the Switch demo, I did notice just a little bit, but it's not an action title or a platformer, so it doesn't hinder anything in the gameplay, but to me it was noticeable. I'm likely going to get it either way, but I'm hoping the new Immortal Edition fixes that.

Just tried the demo for The Legend Returns. Pretty cool game and I had fun with it! I'll probably get the new 4K one when it drops.

One of my favorite games ever is Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes. I've bought the recent Definitive Edition rerelease. Can anyone recommend other match 3 must have games on Switch?

@PKDuckman This is very helpful to know. Thank you!

@Coxula Haha, oops! For some reason someone on reddit or YouTube mentioned there being a couple of the PQ games on Switch. Thanks for clarifying 👍

Any news on a hard copy of any of these PQ games on Switch? Would be awesome to see one, or even a collection of these games all in one tidy package.

@Zeebor15 I mean, it pretty much was a straight answer, although they didn't type it.

Numbered title: take your chances on VGP or pre-order for a guaranteed copy of the game.

Distribution/not numbered: get via Amazon, VGP, etc.

Also, some of these have regional multi-language copies you can order from play-asia.

As mentioned above, I do miss the days when LRG waited for game patches before manufacturing and shipping. I don't have to play the newest games until next year, but I also don't really want to rent a copy at full price (digital).

@timtimtim wow, that download amount is utter bs!! I’m really glad I’m waiting on this one. I should cancel my copy of NG. We’ve had it too good with the likes of Inti Creates and other independent developers, and even some excellent retro collections by a number of publishers.

There should be a window of 6 months so this gross “release then fix” crap can be worked out for a definitive hard copy of a game. That’s how LRG used to (mostly) be and they need to stop taking the piss a bit.

4.1 GB download for this game with game card… 😰

@Zeebor15 I’m in the same spot. Early preorders got blocked in May, other sites had a Japan version with a “download code” notice in the box art. I discovered VGP only this year somehow and anticipate the game going there, being cheaper than LRG (LRG raised shipping costs earlier this year.) and being shipped to me sooner than LRG would.

Reached out to LRG, and if it’s a numbered release they didn’t have an answer of if it will go to a place like VGP, but looks like all distribution titles are available through Amazon. I don’t usually mind the wait from them but the shipping and taxes for one $35-40 game add over $10 now for a single game order (so more like $45-50 per game). I’ve been buying without issues from them for years, but I’m out…

@ParrakerriRush add: “II Turbo” to that 😂

I’m interested in the physical. It’s a bit expensive compared to other retro collections, though. I’ll keep it on my watch list.

@N64-ROX excited to see the Warzone love!!! My PS copy got lots of playtime and it was so much fun with friends. I should get my copy out and play…

@Finalzero it’s the Disney-fication of a games company. It’s sad to watch. They seem like a different company than they were 10 years ago.

@MirrorFate2 Wow, that sounds pretty *****. Thanks for the info! I have the 3DO disc, so when I want to play I'll just hook it up to my OSSC for the time being; I've gotta get another CRT in here this fall.

@Grail_Quest I was considering buying the Gex collection, but is it that bad? Any input delay? Is the emulation any good? The games themselves don’t look groundbreaking but they do look like they could be fun. I haven’t played the first game in a few years, and it’s more of a curiosity to me.
