@RainbowGazelle That's the kind of thing I guess they will address after getting feedback from users.

Bought day one, the collector's edition which is surprisingly cheap, and liked it.

Free DLC for sure will include options such as continues enabled/disabled, training mode from the beginning...

Don't understand the hate this game is getting, even considering the bad timing of its release, which to be honest I don't understand either: Shredder's Revenge being such a hit was a possibility, not a certainty.

That's really good news, but I didn't expect any game available on one of Mega Drive Mini 1's region variants to repeat. That's a first.

That's what I call a homage.

@RupeeClock I can understand that retro collections, which I absolutely love, are more complex than just dumping roms. What I'm saying is these Mega Man collections are physical in Japan, all of them, but in the West we have partial mandatory downloads. That's a decision made in Capcom, it's the usual Western treatment, but surprisingly enough they're gonna shift with these new release. It's good news, but it leaves you feeling sad for what could have been done better.

@RupeeClock But are you suggesting that the original Mega Man games didn't fit into the tiniest 8GB Switch cart? I think they did, and as a matter of fact Japan has a box of all these Legacy titles in carts, no downloads required.

10 games physical in one cartridge. So it was feasable after all. Yet they didn't do it with the most emblematic titles.

This one does get a physical release, huh?

Not the collection full of games with a target that grew up buying physical games.

@Serpenterror You're still missing the point, let's leave it here.

@Serpenterror That's not the point. Importing is more expensive than buying on local stores, plus it makes no sense this collection doesn't appear physically in Europe after Street Fighter Anniversary Collection.

@Serpenterror Not in Europe

@somebread Yeah, but not in Europe

No physical release, no buy.

Anyway, I looked forward to this release, but most of the titles will be in Capcom Arcade Stadium and other Capcom Collections, so I don't know now.

I just want a release date for Cowabunga Collection

I don't think it's overpriced, on the contrary. In Europe at least it has a collector's edition for less than what games usually cost.

Maybe it's not the best beat'em up ever, maybe it's derivative (like a lot of games of this genre), maybe the one credit thing is a put off for many people (I suck at these games, yet I love them, and I don't regret preordering it, maybe it's time for me to truly make an effort), but people is reading a 7 like it was a 4 here, and that seems unfair.

Is there a review embargo or something? Any media has published the review, and we would like to know that we preorder decent games...

Interesting, but these collections should have been physical too, and the line-up massively overlaps with Capcom Beat'em Up Bundle and the upcoming Capcom Fighting Collection, so I'll end up picking some games up individually.

One game nearer the Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection vol. 2

Maybe it's because I love beat'em ups, I'm discovering many of them now because I didn't when I was younger, and that includes the ones less polished, but I recently spent many hours on this game and I kind of love it. Nice stages for sure. Definitely would give it at least a 6, and that's keeping the time into consideration. As a kid would've been even better.

@Joe-b Well, I didn't buy it precisely because with SLG waiting is mainly what we customers do. The record in my case is in 13 months between payment and having the game in my hands.

The collector's edition containing all Wonder Boy games and more importantly all console versions is already sold out on Strictly Limited Games. This article is very old news actually.

Problem is there will be a physical copy on regular stores, just with the 4 titles that the digital version will contain. So it's a hard pass from me.

It's going to have a collector's edition at a very reasonable price in regular stores, but it's been coming for so long that I fear the end result won't be that good, despite that title designed to make us think it's the third part of a series it doesn't actually belong to. I hope I'm wrong because I really look forward to getting my hands on it.

What stops me from buying anything there is that even though a EU Sega Shop exists, when the time to pay comes there are taxes that make price skyrocket, on top of shipping, so the prices shown are without taxes. And no, I wasn't trying to buy in the UK shop from the EU. It was the EU shop. A shame.

Announced in 2020 as an "upcoming" release, it has been more than a year and a half but finally, after Namco releases cutting the line, we'll get this bizarre Data East classic. Day one (or almost) for me.

They noted it, but who would have expected that people would want it physical, right? Facepalm.

So still no physical version in the West...

The second time Ace Attorney games are on sale in the US after the 3DS and Wii U eShop closure announcement, Europe still waiting.

@Grumblevolcano Well, there must be some cases, but in this example I think maybe the Wii U failing comercially and not being a retro system anyway must help.

But I don't see Turtles in Time getting any cheaper now that will be available emulated in modern systems, for instance.

What some people seem not to understand is that these rereleases don't affect the prices of the original games, because people will keep asking and paying the same prices, and rising. They don't want them because they're the only way to play, but for collecting or even for scalping themselves.

And this is something that the people like myself that want these games for the sake of playing the originals have see a lot of times.

That's reassuring news. This kind of game shouldn't makes us suffer like that. Although I think it's sad we have to celebrate what should be normal...

It looks like we even have to thank them for existing. Geez.

Some more and we'll get the Collection vol. 2. This time we know that we have to wait and not buy them individually.

It's been a while now with that smell of "let's delay it and make it a release for both Switch and the next system, it wouldn't be the first time anyway".

I'm hesitant, 3DS version would be nice to have, but Switch's screen spoiled me long ago, and it's much cheaper.

I wonder why the 3DS version isn't on Amazon, it would be cheaper and there are other Pixelheart games there...

Finally! That should be the way to go. Always. Announcing it before the release date. I will never forgive them for making us believe Namco Museum would be digital only, and after buying it digitally they released it on physical with added content even.

Namco Museum Archives being code in a box sucks too, but at least you knew that a physical wouldn't happen down the line.

I hadn't caught the release date before, by the way. For me it's news too.

This has been on Amazon as a preorder for so long that hardly comes as a surprise, but given the lukewarm reception of Sol Cresta I thought this one would be another case of harmful hype, but glad to see it's not. Plus, the first entry wasn't exactly a success. Anyway, this one is cheap, and physical, so I might get it.

It's on Dreamcast too, by the way.

It's a shame, but despite a Sega Shop EU version in existence, the fact is that they must operate from the UK anyway, because even on sale the products end up being so expensive after shipping and taxes. And they have good stuff (not that good as before, with many great T-shirts disappearing from their catalog long ago), but it all ends up costing more than it would if they dispatched the items from inside the EU.

Still no Western release, though, huh?

This is what should have been announced by Inin Games. Now we will have a noticeably lacking physical edition available in stores and another one with all the content behind a big paywall.

I mean if SLG wants to make a collector's edition I'm fine, what pisses me off is that the rom itself is different. The regular edition contains only one version of each game, and they're not even all the titles of the series. And they're titles and versions we have already on the Switch in different ways, bar Wonder Boy 1.

I've played the first two entries of the series and their graphics aren't exactly their strongest points. They look like PS2 graphics with a lick of HD. Really. So I never imagined a good port to Switch should be something to commend.

Nintendo should be offering interesting sales on its games, but we all know that the impending end of the eShop itself will be reason enough for people to start buying titles like crazy.

The only thing tempting for me with this release is that it has a physical version. But given that 5 of the games will be included in the Taito Egret II Mini (which does have genuine Taito hits like Bubble Bobble, The New Zealand Story or yes, Space Invaders), I'll only miss Ninja Warriors (available separately anyway).

I love retro collections, I swear they're what gets me more excited currently, but this is an example of a collection done wrong.

Now please announce it's getting a physical version and I'm yours.

@Teksetter Dammit! I swear I thought it was a possibility, but then I wrote "lucky bast***", which solved the problem, but changed it because it sounded disrespectful... Sorry to assume your gender, and you shouldn't have to clarify it anyway.

@Teksetter Lucky man! I just can't justify to myself or my wife getting another one for one particular game, even if that's the cheapest way to get that game officially these days.

Let's not forget that Microsoft allows you to redownload your digital games on the next system. That would be the way to go with a proper Virtual Console.

Having said that, they should have released a VC, but we all know that people would complain anyway about the available titles and the prices for "games that old".

And I don't see how a VC would make people drop the NSO subscription. The classic games system is a perk, not the main reason for people to pay the fee, which theoretically is for playing online.

Certainly cheap, but it overlaps with 3 of them already being available on Switch in collections or as standalone releases. Wonder Boy 1 would be the only one unreleased on Switch for now.

Unfortunately I have even that one on my Astro City Mini, so I won't be buying this... I believe... I mean c'mon... I've been torturing myself in Monster Land for more than 10 hours in Sega Ages, for instance.

What would have been awesome is a port of that huge Monster World collection exclusive to Japanese PS2 which contained every game in the franchise in every version in existence.

If the Japanese 3DS consoles themselves weren't that expensive, maybe.

And if they weren't, the few games I'm really interested in are really expensive. I'm talking about physical, though.

Would be a great time to do a 3DS and Wii u eShop massive sale, but of course they won't. They know we will all pay full price for games that are going to disappear.

Well, it's the end of the purchase thing, but no console is dead as long as we use them.
