I might grab this for those gorgeous visuals alone. Guess I should probably check out the first game first though.

I just want super adventure island. The only version I have is tucked away in the wii menu of my wiiu.

Still waiting for a remaster of Shadows of the Empire.

North America because Wario.

It was a fine trailer. Nice to finally see it in an official capacity. I'm only really going to get excited once we learn the system specs and the games lineup.

Definitely looks like my kind of castletroidia.

Soma has me intrigued, somehow it passed me by. I'd like to see how it runs on Switch before buying though. Otherwise I might grab the ps4 version.

I have the first Lunar on PS1, it's a great rpg. Don't think I ever actually beat it though, got stuck on some really tough boss near the end.

Looking at the screen shots I just remembered how much I loathe that chicken boss.

@zeromission80 Yeah, I really don't know why they omitted that sequence. Besides the Verdugo, that's probably my fav boss fight in the original. They kinda bring back that creature in the Separate Ways DLC, but it's not the same.

Big fan of the books and films, but I don't think I've played any of these, besides the Two Towers game, but that was the ps2 version. It was okay. Besides that, I've played Shadow of Mordor, which I just couldn't get into. I like the concept of an open world game in Mordor, but that nemesis system just didn't jive with me. I did enjoy War in the North on ps3. That was more of a strait up hacky slashy type affair.

@SearchingS Would much prefer a Code Veronica remake personally.

Yep I remember picking this up at launch at this awesome little game shop in a mini mall, that is sadly now long gone. Still a masterpiece to this day, one of those rare games that I immediately started replaying after beating it the first time.

I do remember though while most people loved the game, there was a small but vocal minority of hardcore RE fans online, who took it upon themselves to constantly deride the game and claim it wasn't 'real RE' because it lacked item boxes, fixed camera angles, etc. While I do still love the older games, that's not to say a series can't change and evolve with the times. And the old formula was becoming a bit stale at the time, RE4 was the shakeup the series needed I think.

That being said, I am glad there's a bunch of indie developers still making games inspired by the old RE style.

I still play Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden 2 on my xbox360 from time to time. Still some of the best action games around.

Would love a collection of the nes trilogy on the Switch. It would be extra sweet if they included the og versions, as well as remasters with pixel art done by the folks working on Ragebound. But this admittedly seems doubtful.

@Mach_Rider While I wouldn't say Yaiba was a great game, I do recall having some fun with it. The combat is fast and frantic, and it has some fun platforming sections. It also looks great, love the colourful cell shaded style. But yeah, it's definitely not up to the standard of the previous games, and the effort to be overly edgy can be a bit grating.

Castle of Dragon actually looks pretty rad. I'm always down for an old school hack 'n slash.

Tea, earl grey, not one I'll be picking up.

This easily could've been just one collection.

@Pally356 Rastan Saga 3 was last week's arcade archives release.

Glad to see Shogun Showdown here. Amazing game I keep finding myself coming back to.

Both aren't bad. I think I prefer the softer lighting and colour palette of JP so it gets my vote.

Not sure if that 'monkey' is just very badly drawn or ai generated. Could go either way honestly.

Wow, been awhile since we've had a new Ninja Gaiden. Looks dope.

Are Bulk and Skull playable?

Ninja action platformers are one sub-genre I'll never tire of. Also, I see what appears to be an ED-209 in one of the screenshots. Robocop came out in 1987, whoooaaaa

I read another review suggesting the game represents the trajectory of the Dead Space series encapsulated in one game. Starts out as slow paced horror, then horror action, culminating in full on action shooter type gameplay. Still, The Thing is one of my fav movies, so it's quite likely I'll grab this down the line.

Looks cool, I feel it needs a ninja and a dinosaur to really complete the roster.

I recently beat Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown which was fantastic, so I thought I'd go back and play the gamecube era trilogy, presently on Sands of Time. I was never the biggest fan of the combat in this game, it's much improved in the sequels, but the platforming and overall atmosphere of the game remains excellent.

I played DK64 on my wiiu a few years ago and that being said, I would much prefer Diddy Kong Racing. I do like the somewhat creepy atmosphere in some of the areas in DK64, but the collectathon nature of the game drives me a little crazy after awhile. I see a trail of transparent bananas I can't collect and sigh deeply.

Just woke up to the first blizzard of the year in my area, so it would be pretty excellent timing if it dropped on Switch this week!

Japan is a bit muddy and dark, the NA/Europe cover showcases the monster and armour much better.

Hmm, I've always thought Megaman had potential to make for a great animated film, and I enjoyed Love Death and Robots for the most part. I'm not entirely convinced by the trailer, but I'll give this a chance. An anthology series based on video game properties is intriguing in any case.

@HammerGalladeBro It might just be the animation style they went with, but yeah, it does look like a lot of the ai generated imagery I've seen.

Hmm, I am a huge Trek fan so I'll wait to see how this one reviews.

I'd love a strategy game like Advance Wars or Into the Breach but centred around Star Trek space battles.

@msvt Haha, that would be an amazing shelf companion to my Alien Quadrilogy dvd set.

Amazing! I have many fond memories of making dangerously unsafe theme park attractions with my cousin on his pc back in the day.

@Steel76 Kid's movies definitely had more of an edge back then. Even stuff like Willow and Pee Wee's Big Adventure, had their share of disturbing imagery. Large Marge anyone?

The visuals in this game were truly mind blowing at the time, never had I seen the like. Amazing soundtrack, and still a joy to play through to this day. Although DKC2 will always be my personal fav.

While the NA cover has tons of 80s charm, I gotta vote for the bootleg Fist of the North Star artwork.

Echoes is defo my fav out of the 3 Prime games. It has the coolest suit upgrades and environments imo. There's just something spooky about the atmosphere in this game, finding all the dead space marines when you first land on the planet really reminds me of Aliens.

If only they could have cast Micheal Ironside in his prime. Always thought he did a great job voicing the character.

Double Dragon 95 is great, in spite of the fact the film it's (loosely) based on is somehow even worse than the Van Damme Street Fighter Movie. Seeing as this is a sequel of sorts, I will defo grab it.

@JackieCMarlow "PULL THE STRING!!"

@Serpenterror Didn't you know? Every day is Halloween. (takes drag from cigarette).

I like the look of this, but random encounters in RPGs do tend to drive me nuts after awhile, haha.

I remember the kinstones, but I don't think I ever bothered with this so called figurine gallery, as I have literally no memory of it. I tend to ignore side quests that don't appeal to me in most games.

As a fan of horror and urban exploration, this looks right up my alley. A creepy decrepit alley that is.

No grabs eh? Mayor Haggar is deeply disappointed.

Anyway, looks like something I'll probably grab on sale down the line.

@calbeau I had the same feeling, I think it's definitely ai generated.

Wow, the artwork actually looks really good. I like the premise of Comix Zone, but I've never gotten very far in that game, it's quite difficult.
