Preaching to the choir! Preach it!

So the physical is not all on cart (in fact none of them are in the cart), we are getting the barebones original of mgs2 and 3 so no extra content from substance or subsistence. Sounds bad all around. Pass.

The Japanese box art just looks too jumbled up. The Western art has dynamic action while showing off some of the foes you must face. I went with the western box art.

Of its physical and complete on cart I definitely will. But given rockstars track record it will have physical but it will require a massive download which completely botches the point of a physical.

NA/Europe. Less is more sometimes.

I need to do some cleanup and actually display my collection so I went with the bookshelves.

Already preordered! Looking forward to it.

If it has a physical release and it’s all on a cart with no download required then I’m all for it!

@Duncanballs
No but they could offer alternatives to the subscription model. Why not sell the games individually like they did on VC? That would make a lot of sense and it would be a win win for them.

@AllieKitsune
The msx port that’s on collection 2 is nearly unplayable. At least I was able to get to the first boss on the Famicom port on emulation way back when.

I’m excited for this release! Finally I can have all the Valis games! (Exception being Valis x) Seeing how much the original games go for in the second hand market these collections are a steal.

I’d like to see Innocent Life return.

I remember seeing one being available to play back in the day but never have seen one in a while since.

No Genesis games?

Ok time for a Xenosaga collection port and Xenogears. I’m not a fan of Xenoblades gameplay mechanics but I loved Xenosaga. Unfortunately a certain demo disc back in the day deleted my saves on my memory card and I was right at the last battle in the original Xenosaga so I never finished it.

@Adol-Bannings
Just going from experience of tie in games. Some turn out great but you usually end up with shovelware.

The cloud market isn’t growing. It’s failing in spectacular fashion. They want to spark innovation?! Then make ports specific to the platforms you want!

I loved the grinch gbc game. This one though I’m not too sure of yet.

It should already be using the system since you could have tied your 3ds an wiiu to your switch account to use the funds on it. Why not have software like vc carry over too?

@acidflare
They wouldn’t cost that much. Don’t forget they can compress the data so it could be smaller. Heck square charged $70 for ports of the classic final fantasies and they weren’t anywhere near 32 or 64 gb to justify the price. If they were to divide the collection as asylum and city in one double pack and knight in a stand-alone release they could absolutely do so. This is purely an anti consumer practice. Even if I was to have the largest memory card available (1TB) these games that are like this would cannibalize that space quickly. It’s not as if they are incentivizing consumers to go strictly digital with cheaper prices! You are still being charged the same price either way. Anyway I’d sooner pay a slightly higher price to play straight out of the box than hunt around and make a special trip just to download games I bought in store to have to go to the eshop to download the rest.

@acidflare
There is a 64 gb cart so the first two games could easily fit on a 32 bit cart and they could include the final game on a 64 gb cart in the same box.

@BTB20
I absolutely want to play them on switch. I just refuse to support such a anti consumer practice and you shouldn’t either. The more we let companies get away with this sort of thing the more emboldened they will get.

@anoyonmus
Arkham city is 16 gb according to google and knight is 46 I believe which could be compressed to smaller. So asylum and city could be on one cart and knight on a 32 gb cart if they compress it.

Another instant buy to now an easy pass. I’ll not support these releases. If they wanted they could make 3 separate game carts and sell them in one package.

@HOUSE
Red dead.

So this isn’t a remaster of the latter ps2 games? The one with the magnet hook? Well I guess I’ll pass until we get a proper tomb raider or a port of the reboot.

@tobsesta99
Carts load faster than discs usually. Konami is just being cheap as Scrooge. We are talking about mere pennies of difference between one size cart and the other and they are still charging a good price.

@TheSovryn
Not having internet and wanting to play the game right then and there out of the box is also a valid reason. I’m mostly physical because know it will last longer. If my digital purchases would migrate to the next gen I’d be more inclined to go fully digital but it doesn’t.

@Burning_Spear
No I’m mostly a physical gamer and I can tell you that the biggest majority of switch physical games don’t require a download to play. Patches don’t count as long as the game is playable out of the box.

@The-Chosen-one
No they should just get the proper size cartridge for the release and not be cheap buying the smallest possible carts!

And that officially kills all my hype for this. Just what is the point, honestly someone I’d really like to know, of having a physical copy if you have to download nearly the whole thing onto your memory anyway?!

@Serpenterror
That last line hurts my head.

@roy130390
I figured volume 2 would focus on big boss so the portable entries including peace walker seems logical. Then again this is Konami so logic doesn’t really matter.

How about the original Luigi’s Mansion? It’s still stuck on GameCube and 3ds both of which are like the ghosts in the mansion dead and buried.

@roy130390
By that token though wouldn’t it have made more sense to have it here since we have both msx and nes games that are different. (Well at least mg 2:ss and snakes revenge are different anyway)

@Serpenterror
Msx doesn’t stand fir Microsoft. It was a Japanese pc from back in the 80s and 90s. Nothing to do with them.

@roy130390
Twin snakes is the only one to not have a rerelease since it came out on GameCube. It’s high time for it.

As I mentioned in the forum why can’t these be the best versions of the three (twin snakes, substance and subsistence)? I’m super excited to see snakes revenge acknowledged!

@AnVold
I agree. They should’ve went in to this project to make a definitive version of the game with content from all three releases. I’ve heard “the answer” was not well implemented and was grindy but they could’ve just reworked it in the main game. Let’s not also forget they are also not having the female protagonist or her social links.

@Bass_X0
Yes there are several compilations but none have any of these games in them save for maybe Sega Genesis Collection. Regardless I don’t see adding the option to purchase the games being that intrusive to Nintendo. They could just have the games listed as dlc in their respective eshop pages.

@gaga64
I’m dint understand the argument that it’s no feasible to offer both. The way I see if they’d make money either way. In fact with them not offering them for sale they are missing out on quite a lot of potential money.

Again no option to just buy the games I want instead of paying them a yearly fee (which I don’t) for features and online play I never use.

@burntends
I do t get where you thought I said that shouldn’t be an alternative. I was simply saying that for many unless there’s a native port many are going to miss out on it due to the internet connection required that simply isn’t available. Which is why I’m a firm believer in physical for life and being able to own games rather than rent them as a service.

@burntends
I’m not really fussed over it I just wanted you and others with that mindset to understand that’s it’s simply not a good alternative.

If it gets a physical release I’ll support it but I already own it on DS so if not then I’ve no reason to.

@burntends
No I live in a rural area. Internet for cloud gaming is impossible. I have my phone for when I’m at work but that’s about it.

@burntends
Yeah that cuts me and a lot of others out.

@burntends
Not everyone can play it in their browsers. Not everyone has a PC or if they do one with the specs to play it.

We don’t even have Prime 2 and 3 yet! No way we are getting it before the other two are released so I’m figure in three years time from now we will finally get Prime 4 if they release the other two each year.

@Saturn589
I’m with you. I’ll just wait until the inevitable expanded version fully reloaded comes out around a year or so after this comes out.
