I personally gotta give it to the Steam Deck Oled but the Switch is a close second.

@Samalik ?????

This is still proving more and more that "censoring" or changing these games causes more controversy than if they just left them alone. I'm not the kinda guy to run around saying games are "woke" and such, I think that racial undertones should be removed from rereleases. But a suggestive outfit is fine.

Personally I'd rather they leave everything original but I'm still picking it up Day 1 on Steam regardless.

@FrowardCoast440 IIRC Warbirds was originally included on the cart but was removed in a day 0 patch because they lacked a proper licensing, so that led to a lot of people not updating their carts as it was a "physical only" game because of that. Then they later got the rights and added it back in.

I think it's included in the base game timeline but I may be wrong.

A better way to combat reselling would be to just offer them online.

Leave some stuff to be exclusive like t shirts or keychains but gosh darnit I want a giant Wiimote pillow

One of the best parts of this timeline as kinda mentioned here is the fact that the free update games from last year all got timeline entries. Really makes it feel more legitimate instead of just tacked on to the collection.

One could hope for more Lynx/Jaguar games but it looks like the next pack will be focusing on the Intellivision.

@KoopaTheGamer I don't know about you but I think if well over 25 million people buy a game then that game is good, on top of the fact that it's on Game Pass.

Riding monsters you've caught is not a Nintendo thing by any means, and considering that some of these patents were filed after Palworld's release is simply disrespectful.

I hope Nintendo loses this. Palworld is a much better game than any Pokémon game released in recent times and the sales prove it. Hopefully this will encourage Game Freak to make better games, I have high hopes for ZA.

@SillyG Digital Eclipse has said it will be complete on the new cart with no downloads (which is good because this first pack of dlc alone is like 2 gigs).

Shame that the "wider world of Atari" is mostly 2600 and arcade, with no Lynx or Jaguar.

Still, these are great games that are now under the Atari umbrella. Looking forward to my physical release.

Hopefully the Switch 2 has stylus support, I can't imagine ever playing these games without a tiny pen in my right hand

If it was just the plastic shells? Nope.

But there's that pic with the pcb and people have identified what each part is and where everything would go. That's legit.

@Blue_Rover Each pack is $8 and both of them is $14. If you don't already own the game, the expanded edition is looking to be $40 with both the game and the DLC, while the base game will probably be permanently discounted to $30 (as the physical is already at $30).

I actually find it a little unfortunate that they're dropping a pack earlier than the physical release, now I feel tempted to grab it for the probably $5 it will be even though I have my physical on the way.

Maybe I'll get the DLC on Steam since I already have the base game, I have the base game on Switch as well but then the expanded coming.

Finally. I needed a keyboard with a number pad when they announced their first one. Then they made the number pad but I already got myself a different board.

Now I can have the NES keyboard, finally.

Crazy to me that games like Mortal Kombat X or Bluey or Tales of Symphonia are still in the top 40 and Emio never even broke top 20 (if I'm remembering correctly) and is already out of it. Really enjoyed it but I guess it is rather niche.

@BrazillianCara @IceClimbers that just raises even more questions, because I've been under the impression that the characters, although unique, might just be "inspired" enough for copyright. The gameplay and mechanics are pretty darn different from Pokémon games aside from the fact that you summon your Pals from a sphere (but then I feel like that would be copyright infringement, idk).

This is a very big shame. Palworld is a fantastic game that has only been evolving more and more since its release. I haven't been sucked into a game much like I did with this one since, and definitely not any Pokémon game, that's for sure.

I'm really hoping they win this, Palworld is already such a good game but I've been enjoying the updates and was really hoping to see a "1.0" release.

@DennyCrane They could probably get it to work with joycon motion control.

Would it work well? Absolutely not but it might be playable and wouldn't hurt to be an option.

@DennyCrane I doubt that Nintendo is actually making the Switch compatible with the original snes mouse, probably just they're own branded one or even any mouse. The Wii U had Duck Hunt and the Wiimotes worked with the IR sensor, surely they could figure it out with the joycon.

People clearly forgot how similar the DS and 3DS looked. My brother couldn't get my parents to buy him a 3DS because they were convinced it was just a different design of the DS.

It's a day 1 preorder for me if it has backwards compatibility, 3D Mario, Virtual Console of some sort, and an OLED screen. That's a lot but I think it's reasonable.

Rather unfortunate with the matchmaking issues, I played 3 games of unranked Marvel vs Capcom 1 online at the midnight release on Steam (as the physical switch copies aren't out yet), then nothing for an hour. Even went into ranked MVC2 hoping it would work with more people playing that but no dice. Haven't had the time to try again since.

I'm personally a big MVC1 guy. Has the best presentation/gameplay imo even if the roster is a bit small

Whenever I finally become interested in picking these games up they always finish the updates lol

I've had to stay away from Astro Bot spoilers which is hard enough as is since my preorder is just now arriving today, thankfully I don't mind spoilers for Zelda games though I have somehow gone this long without knowing totk's ending since I haven't beaten it yet.

I already have it on Steam and my Switch physical is preordered. Was having problems finding matches last night, hopefully that was just iffy servers on the first day.

They should make a new Darkstalkers, then MVC, then CVS

One of the biggest gaffs by Nintendo in recent times has to be no classic Pokemon games on Switch. I bought all the Gameboy ones on the 3ds, plus they can do gba, ds and even the 3ds titles.

I'm still waiting on VGP to ship my preorder... but I've been playing Astro's Playroom and it's fantastic. Really looking forward to this but I'm not sure why it's gotta be a competition.

@Anti-Matter I can almost understand your point on not including M rated games in your collection but I really don't get refusing to play a game just because said characters are included.

Technically a spoiler, but Kazuma Kiryu is a bot in Astro Bot. Is he from an M rated game, yes but he's the good guy. He's got good morals and good resolve. There's nothing M rated in Astro Bot or else it would be M rated itself.

Big fan of Yars so I'm looking forward to picking this up on sale in a month or two

Tempted to go ahead and trade in my copy of Superstars so I can get some credit towards this before Superstars drops in price.

@Anti-Matter I've always wondered why there isn't a DDR game on Switch that uses two Joy-Con leg straps. Whenever I wanna play Mario DDR I gotta hook up my GameCube and pull the mat out, but it would be so much more simple if I could use motion controls instead of a mat.

Huh, a reasonable price for 3 old games with English for the first time, who'da thunk it? Valis can take notes.

I was VERY excited seeing this pop up but good golly those are some of the worst packs of games I have ever seen.

And honestly it's not because there's bad games (Garou is my #1) it's just that there are so few. Unless these are $20 collections, what's the point?

You can buy a Neogeo mini on Amazon for ~$60 that comes with every kof, every metal slug, every samsho, and nearly every aof/fatal fury (the good ones at least). I don't know why they're so picky on the Switch.

Game I'm interested in gets a physical release

It's Limited Run Games

Rebirth music?? I might just have to pick this up

Not the biggest fan of these metroid/castlevania style games but I can't really resist when it's a franchise or game series that I'm a fan of, I'll pick this up on sale. Yars' Revenge is one of only a handful of 2600 games that has aged really well imo.

I've only had the time to put about an hour or two in but I'm really liking it so far. Game really gives me the creeps. 8/10.

Love fighting games but Guilty Gear never interested me, big part of that is the most obnoxious fanbase for any fighting game out there lol.

But good that this is finally releasing on Switch, about time.

Inb4 someone says "yeah but Steve is way too busted lol"

I wonder where the difference lies in "oh this is just that" and "wow this is a spiritual successor to that."

Is it the art style? Gameplay? Presentation? The team behind it?

Regardless, I'm all for this. I love games made by people who are clearly fans of a specific game and they are creating the vision that they want to see for it. Palworld especially.

Lots of people seem to be saying "oh it's not NEARLY as dark as we were expecting" and I'm just wondering why people brought it upon themselves to expect that.

Besides, a game being dark is not the only reason I'm excited for this, but come on. Is a serial killer murder mystery with teen suicide and pools of blood REALLY not dark enough?

I haven't played the demo but I do have it preordered physically through Nintendo and they have yet to ship it, rip for release day but still excited.

Honestly one of the best Directs in recent times for me.

Fantastic direct duo.

Metal Slug Tactics Fall confirmation, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is INSANE, Marvel collection in two weeks just as I guessed (with secret characters confirmed!).

That's a 10/10 for me.

Day 1 for me.

I have the first Fighting Collection digitally on Switch and PC, the Marvel one digitally on PC and physically on Switch preordered, and SVC Chaos digitally on PC.

I think I'm just gonna stick to PC for this one. Don't get me wrong, I am JUST as hyped for this as I am for Marvel, I just have always wanted a physical copy of MVC2. I already have CVS2 on the GameCube.

I'm betting within the next year we'll also see a Street Fighter Fighting Collection. We've got that Legacy collection sure but that only had 4/12 games online and it wasn't even rollback. I love Digital Eclipse but Capcom really should've done the inhouse development while DE handles the history.

Crazy how MVC2, CVS2, Vampire Savior 2, Pocket Fighter, SVC Chaos, and Power Stone 2 have rollback officially released on modern consoles but NONE of the classic Street Fighters do (aside from Hyper and now Alpha 3 Upper).

I love anything by Digital Eclipse so I'll definitely be picking this up

@Ryu_Niiyama I just realized the only two games I go back to my GameCube for are CVS2 and Mario DDR.

Here's hoping they can make my GameCube completely obsolete someday

@Anti-Matter iirc Alpha 3 Upper was released for the Sega Naomi hardware instead of the CPS II like the original, it features fixes and a few new characters (or secret characters are easily selected, I forget).

The funny thing is it's not even close to the most definitive version. There was a Gameboy Advance version with a few more characters, and then the psp version, called Double Upper, features every character from previous versions plus 1 more, combine that with near perfect recreation of gameplay and sprites and you've got yourself the definitive Street Fighter Alpha.

Upper isn't played much because people like the glitches before they were fixed, and if you want all the characters there are hacked versions or the psp version. They probably just threw it in the collection because the licensing is easy and they figured out good Naomi emulation on Switch.

Called it. Looking forward to it

@Truegamer79 Honestly the biggest reason why I'm so excited for the Switch 2 is new games. New 3D Mario, new Mario Kart, new Smash. Games that they won't put out on old hardware.
