The curse of the video game movie strikes again.

In regards to Alien Romulus, I just have no interest in seeing it for some reason, and I love the first two, (and 4 is a lot of dumb fun). I think I'm just tired of them dredging up these old franchises over and over again, they're almost always mediocre at best.

Yeah this looks amazing. Ninja action platformers, one of my favourite sub-genres.

It's a cool illustration of Zero on the NA one, but I don't like how it's cropped.

EU looks like another artist traced the JP one. He's got weird googly eyes.

JP is definitely the strongest here.

@LikelySatan I like the cathedral background, or 'nude place' as it's called, and the forest stage is nice too. But yeah, overall the backgrounds aren't anything to write home about.

@Vyacheslav333 Ah, thank you for the correction.

While I don't think it's quite as good as the previous two Capcom Vs Snk games, I've still been having a lot of fun with it.

There is one character that is absolutely cheap and that's Goenitz.

"KOKO DESU KA? KOKO DESU KA?"

Holy crap I can't stand that guy. It is satisfying when you actually do beat him tho.

@WaveBoy Completely agree. 80s/90s was the golden age of amazing hand painted box/cartridge art.

I like the sleekness of the N64 carts, but I gotta go with the Snes.

I really like the look of this. Just in time for spooky season.

Hey now there's a mash up I never considered before. Looks excellent.

@CazSonOfCaz Neither did I! I always assumed it was a reference to HAL 9000 the ai from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

It's time to give Tingle a jingle.

I'd keep my dried herbs in there. Uh you know, oregano, thyme, etc.

Yeah I grabbed it. I've literally wanted to own this game for decades, haha.

They both have a lot of 90s charm, but I think I prefer the saturday morning cartoon vibes from the JP version.

this game is great btw, I'm surprised it's not on the NSO yet.

Nice! But what about the first two games? This game is good fun, but I do kinda prefer its predecessors.

I just can't see Nintendo doing something as edgy as making a game starring the main antagonist of one of their most beloved series.

Honestly Hyrule Warriors already gave me all I'd want from a Ganondorf game, which is just running around kicking all kinds of ass.

looks like something I might eventually pick up at a discount. Kinda wish they had aped Hades visual style as well. That wonderful inky, cell shaded look would be a nice nod to the Turtle's comic book origins. But I suppose they can't borrow everything from Hades, haha.

@Lizuka Really? I've lost count of the amount of times I've replayed Fusion, but Nightmare gives me trouble every time. I can't seem to beat it without sustaining a ton of damage. Yakuza is no joke either though, I just feel like I have a better grasp of its attack patterns.

I found the Nightmare boss battle from Metroid Fusion way more difficult than Mother Brain.

How many Emio's are going to be showing up at Halloween parties this October I wonder. Good last minute costume methinks. Sharpie + paper bag = Emio!

That's some incredible ingenuity/creativity right there.

Intriguing. Might be a nice companion for my Star Trek cookbook. So far I've made Captain Sisko's jambalaya, and Captain Janeway's Welsh Rarebit, both of which were delicious.

Recently played Rastan 3, it's pretty great. I really just can't get over how small these collections are compared to a few console generations ago. Taito Legends 1 and 2 had more than 3 times as many games each.

All I know is, when I play fighting games I tend to crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentation of the women.

I haven't had cereal for breakfast since I was a kid, more of a black coffee and bacon and eggs man these days. A gamecube shaped coffee mug might be neat though, just rotate the handle 90 degrees.

To be fair, he was wandering around the Ganon's Castle neighbourhood in Nuneaton, the local population of bokoblins did feel a bit threatened.

RE7 was my fav RE since the original RE4. It highlighted the things I really love about the series, those being exploring beautifully decrepit locations, a haunting atmosphere, and sense of isolation. Looking forward to seeing what this director comes up with next.

"It's the new DING DONG KING KONG SING SONG BURGER!!"

-Mr Show

@DogDetective Yeah, it's honestly weird to me they only ported the first one to Switch.

Why would you want to play RE7 on a phone of all things? Ideally you wanna play at home on a big screen, late at night with all the lights turned out. Not on a tiny screen while you're riding a crowded subway to work or whatever.

@AJWolfTill I'm trying to think of some modern games that sort of follow a Zelda dungeon formula and a couple come to mind. There's the two recent God of War games that have unique locked off regions with puzzle solving, and usually some kind of boss fight at the end.

And actually now that I think about it, Resident Evil Village felt very much like Zelda in structure. You have the main village hub area, (hyrule field), and the four surrounding boss areas (dungeons), where you find the four macguffins to open the path to the final battle. I'm almost positive the developers took a cue from Zelda when designing that game.

Man, I just want a switch port of Eternal Darkness.

Japan's is more traditional with the hero posing, and the cast of villains arranged behind her, whereas the NA cover is more evocative of the 'corruption' theme of the game with Samus standing with her back to her dark reflection. I don't mind either, but I think both would be better if they were hand drawn illustrations as opposed to using the game models.

I'm so stoked for this collection. Feels like it's 2001 again when I was impatiently waiting for Capcom Vs Snk 2 to come out on the gamecube.

@dreadkong I remember renting that one back in the day and really enjoying it. Didn't get very far though, I didn't have a memory pak and therefore couldn't save the game.

Resident Evil 2 would be very cool, I've never played the N64 version.

However I would prefer if Capcom would just release a collection of the original 3 RE games.

"Tomatoes, sausages, nice crispy bacon."

"We saved some for you Mr Frodo."

"PUT IT OUT YOU FOOLS!!"

As long as it's better than Star Trek: Beyond

Actually, I lie. I kinda like that movie.

The new echo mechanic is intriguing. The level of freedom allowed seems to be taking a cue from TotK.

Looks great and all, but one of my main beefs with the Metroid Prime series is you never get to see Samus in her badass armour outside of cutscenes. I suppose that's an issue I have with FPS in general. I think a Metroid game with an over the shoulder RE4 style camera could be really cool.

Love Metal Slug, but not really a fan of tower defence, so I think this is a pass for me.

All these games, AND the Punisher beat 'em up? Amazing to say the least. Maybe now I can finally retire my ancient dreamcast copy of MvC2.

Zelda's cool and all, but I'd rather play as Sheik;)

This is probably the best lineup they've released in a long while.

Well don't think I'm ever getting back my wii copy I lent my cousin years ago, so I might grab this. I also assume it does away with some of the annoying 'waggle' controls that were present in the wii version, which is a plus for me.

350 carts in one bra....was it Lady Dimitrescu?

That's Turok, killing violence since 1998.

I picked up the first one on Switch, and the controls were barely functional. Very disappointing.

I'll just stick with my wii copy of House of the Dead 2&3. Overkill is a lot of fun too.

Megaman's weird face on the NA cover reminds me of a garbage pail kid or something, haha.

I like those funky speed lines on the Europe cover so I went with that.
