@Denoloco Every game except for 6 and xx(unfortunately) is available as part of the ACA NEOGEO line. From what I’ve heard the emulation is better than the wii collection too!
Jesus, 60 dollars for Space Invaders of all things?! This is worse than what Nintendo themselves are doing! And it doesn’t even have attack of the lunar loonies!
As a person who’s STILL waiting for their Turrican anthology copies to arrive, I really hope this physical release thing is just a fad that’ll go away in a few years and games will either be on the eShop or sold at retail. Limited run is the only one of these companies who seem to know what they’re doing.
@PhhhCough The Japanese version(Rushing Beat Shura) is the superior version, as it has a better looking character select screen, actual music instead of the ambience(or singular song) from the US version, better character portraits, and some enemies that aren’t in the US version either. The fact you can’t select Japanese versions of games on SNES/NES online is inexcusable at this point IMO.
This looks promising, but I’ll wait for next December to see if it’s actually good. Balan Wonderworld and the Ninja Gaiden master collection have both shown me that not everything will live up to the hype that surrounds it.
That’s what we’ve been waiting for Konami! Hopefully the likes of mystic warriors, xexex, violent storm, metamorphic force, and gaiapolis make it on soon!
Ninja Clowns on the arcade could be seen as a terrible beat em up but the ridiculous off-the-wall nature of everything in it more than makes up for it. In the second stage alone you’re fighting hot dog venders and bearded ladies at a circus before facing against a giant chicken as the boss! Absolutely crazy stuff and I love it.
I know I’m probably being pessimistic, but I expected very little from a new Switch model, but even then this STILL somehow managed to be super underwhelming.
Super Happy to see Newgrounds making a comeback as of recently, as it’s always been a great place for online content creators! Tom Fulp definitely deserves this!
People are gonna stick to emulation instead of your lackluster services, Nintendo. Adding Spanky’s Quest to NSO and taking down ROM sites won’t change that no matter how much you wish it will.
Hopefully they use the PC-engine versions and make it easy to get a hold of. If so, than this is hype! However, after the Ninja Gaiden Master collection, I’ll be cautiously optimistic.
Making your game a physical only release in limited quantities is a good way to make me never want to buy any of your games again. Physical only I’m okay with, but limiting the amount of copies printed so that if I want to buy the game I’ll have to fork over a billion dollars to some eBay scalper is just anti-consumerism through and through.
So sick of these physical release companies and their shelf collector pandering. People shouldn’t have to hop a game that they like is still available, preorder it if it’s even being printed still, pay a premium price(plus shipping fees) and wait a crazy long amount of months for it to arrive. Doing stuff like this is bad for the industry.

Looks like a better 3D Ghibli movie than what Ghibli themselves could make, that’s for sure! Will definitely look into it!
Re: Super Meat Boy's Physical Box Art Is Horrifying
It reminds me of the nightmare-inducing character select screen from Snow Bros 2.

The intro stage to Mega Man X and the bridge stage from Streets of Rage 2

Re: Mini Review: Arcade Archives VENDETTA - Konami's Finest Belt-Scrolling Brawler? You'd Better Believe It
Violent Storm is the pinnacle of Konami’s arcade games IMO, but this one is still a great time! Glad to see it finally available on a console!

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting A Switch OLED Or Valve Steam Deck?
Steam deck as long as it’ turns out to be good. I ain’t paying 300$ for a switch with a bigger screen.

In a solid tie between 3&K, the Whitehead version of 2, and Mania.

Eh. Should’ve included all the games that they put on that mini arcade thingy. I’ll be sticking to MAME for my Taito arcade games for now.
