It would be nice if they put in the console versions of some of these games like in the other Konami collections.

Still a shame that we get no Gradius Rebirth.

I used my remaining points in buy Clocktower.

I hope if this sells well, we'll get Onimusha 3 and 4.

@Runex2121 i felt some them were too much, but I will admit, the 'Basic Magic: Killing Barney Made Easy' reference always made me laugh, alone for Ruby's reaction.

Truth be told, im always very skepticle about the new stuff because of how much this series means to me. Im glad they're using the PS1 version of the game...though NGL, having the original Sega CD versions would have been nice because of the differences, but beggars can't be choosers.

I hope the new VAing is good. I always liked the charm of the PS1 game...though im glad there wont be as many pop culture references like the WD version.

There are definitely games that I play more than others, and i would definitely buy them in a heartbeat. Some other ones I might have to check out first before committing to it. They're too expensive in the long run to buy multiple games.

I was looking at the LRG release of Earnest Evans and Annet Returns, but considering the production stuff and this news, I am considering just passing on it and waiting for an eventual digital release of the games.

The greed of Wario is so great in the Western release. LOVE IT!

@FX29 Fan Translations have been made of PSG1 and PSG2. The latter is sadly not fully complete but its playable.

Hard choice, but I went with Japan.

As far as the game goes...idk what to think. Its kinda cool as an rpg hybrid with a beat em up...but. idk. I do remember renting this game as a kid thinking it was Legend of the Mystical Ninja, and being disappointed that it wasn't and not wanting to play it.

@BishopShiozawa sadly it won't be the Sega CD versions of the game. I was hoping we'd at least get sega Cd lunar 1 since it's practically a different game.

Preorder when?

This game peaked my interest...but I'll definitely be skipping it.

@OldManHermit Im not finding it on the shop. I'll look again.

Edit: Now i know why i couldn't find it. It was under "Warrior Blade"

Im still hoping we get a solo release of Rastan Saga 3 someday.

Edit: so I realized why I couldn't find it. It was under Warrior Blade.

Thanks to @OldmanHermit and @Dashkappei for letting me know.

Honestly, Ive never been a fan of how early American Box art tried to make things look so 80s fantasy. This one isnt that bad, but Ive always been more a fan of the anime style art that the japanese box arts have done.

I think Sony needs to focus more on software at this point.

I like happy Kirby, but I have to say, the shadowy background best encompasses the "Nightmare in Dreamland" title even if Meta Knight isn't the baddie.

@Valkian24 Was literally just about to say the same thing.

Honestly, ive never been super nostalgic with Nintendo (Sega kid) but i did always like their black border backgrounds. So obviously, I went with the US release.

Ngl, I do like the European one, but the Japanese one has a style that I really like too.

@Runex2121 I still have my Sega CD versions, and i do like playing them along with the PS1 versions. The differences alone in Lunar 1 make me wish that it were also getting a port. I kinda want to go through the Mine again.

I was screaming when I heard this announcement.

@Daniel36 gotcha.

That being said, I still think the Japanese version works better for me because of thr larger area for the picture.

Also, I keep forgetting that the Japanese version is Super Donkey Kong.

Something seems odd with the coloring of the na version. The Japan benefits from the wider area. I like the European one too but I'll pick the Japan one.

As much as I like MvC2, the original MvC still has a special place for me. Perhaps its nostalgia, but the first time i saw that game and that you could play as Strider (who looked so much cooler than his original sprite) along with the likes of Morrigan and Ryu, i lost my mind. I even remember going on a field trip with a summer day camp to an arcade/entertainment center, and when all the other kids were playing the ticket redemption games, I saw they had Marvel vs. Capcom and went to play that against some of the bigger kids. I can't remember if I won or lost though...

@TotalHenshin Maybe Triple H and Shawn Michaels really like this game and wanted to give it their Degeneration-X seal of approval?

In all seriousness, i just noticed that myself. Now i can't unsee it.

NOrth America for me.

The Japanese one looks cool, but the expresionless faces kinda bug me.

Ive heard about these games...but idk, I think i'll pass.

If Crazy Taxi ends up being just an online only game, I have a feeling it isn't going to fare well (no pun intended). I like the game, but there really isn't much more to it than just a few quick games online. I personally would love to see some sort of game where you make a driver and have to go through a story of rising up as a Taxi driver. I feel like it would be silly, but I think it would make thigns fresh.

As for Shinobi, it shows great promise. Im surprised that its focusing more on sword combat rather than shurikens like in the original games. The art looks gorgeous. I'll definitely be looking at this one closely.

I know these are early development builds, but im curious to see where everything goes.

@Zeebor15 Is it sad that i misread that as Rogue and not Rouge?

You know...I was just thinking how I wish this collection had Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold. I know it was a very small update, but considering it added Cammy, I will take it.

I hate the censoring, but im still excited to get this collection.

I still think about the fact that when I was in middle school, I was playing this game last at night with the lights out...and it actually ended up traumatizing me. Like, all of the stuff weird music and effects were what stuck with me (music has a pretty big effect on me). For the next few years, I had to listen to music to go to sleep because I would always hear the third phase music play in my head. It was like that for some time. Nowadays it doesn't bug me but....

This is a tough one for me. NA looks really cool with the action pose, but the Japanese art style is relaly nice too. Truth be told, when I think about the 16-bit games, it never really felt anime style to me, so because of that, I went with the NA art.

I get the appeal of using the classic box art for the NA one to appeal to nostalgia...but that Japan art is so good.

@GammaPhonic Next thing you know, they'll be making a definitive version of the 3D0 version.

So....I hope that we can put in more mods. I kinda want to have the old Dwango mods to play on deathmatch. though...idk if anyone remembers those.

I already got mine from Play Asia. But im glad its getting a wider release.

The American to me looks cool, but I feel like it's a bit too large and not symmetrical in my eyes. Europe I don't think looks bad but just a but...lazy without details.

I have heard alot about this game...mainly that it wasn't too good, but I'm curious about giving it a second look.

Looks fun, but reputation of the producer makes me iffy about it. So...will reserve judgement until the reviews come out.

i might need to pick this up as alot of my older consoles are becoming more obsolete.

Day 1 physical purchase for me.

@Lizuka I agree with the subtitle.

When I think of a remaster, its basically a game that polishes the graphics, fixes bugs, makes some QOL fixes, and maybe adds in some new content or two. Examples of this would be the recent Tomb Raider 1-3 collection. Basically the same game with cleaner graphics, all the content, and some extras like updated graphics and controls (switchable of course).

Remake is the game that has been redone from the ground up. It has practically the same story, but with lots of new content, gameplay elements, etc. To me this would be something like Persona 3 Reload, Metroid 2 Samus Returns, etc.

ANd then I think of a Port, which is basically, the same game, but running on the intended system's hardware. Sometimes it'll get lucky with better graphics, but thats about it. Basically Super Mario 3D All Stars (though that at least had a music player).

Well...its decided. I do plan on getting this game...but not until i finish Hades.

I actually prefer the Japanese version because it shows all of the enemies in the cover. I know no one really plays Bomberman for the story but...this sits well with me because of the memories i have with the original. The american is kinda funny and i kinda dig it...especially how Black Bomberman tosses the bomb over his head.

The clown on the JP art reminds me how that boss scared the crap out of me when i first played the game. To see the screen go dark (except for the characters) and then the clown face just appearing making faces was scary. And him making that face each time you hurt him was very memorable.

@HotGoomba hey. You're pretty good.

ill probably wish list it...like its just weird knowing that this is an homage to those CD-i games. Like the cutscenes are the same cheesy as before. It'll be a weird buy for me.

I do have to say I love how the developer is Seedy Eye Software. That gave me a laugh after i realized that it was just another way of saying CD-i.

Love both of these games and I already own them digitally. Id like a physical copy but...idk dont feel like double dipping.

Makes me wonder if they'll fix the wrong music in the second half of Level 3 in Gynoug.
