I have Crystal and Yellow...but the thought of being able to transfer all of them to home makes me a bit more inclined to want to get all of them....but I also do have Pokemon Go which lets me get more too so....idk
Man i loved the sega ones. Like having the Sega CD Version 2 playing in on the background with the Phantasy Star II sfx was so cool on the Genesis one, and the Medley on the SMS/Mark III was a nice touch. And of course "Day Dawns" Playing on the dreamcast one was an instant sell because i love that theme so much.
So...as a kid, i always remembered to wait for Shadow. Sadly I was willing to let time run out to make sure i waited for him. I remember a friend telling me that when i let him borrow the game, he didn't wait for Shadow...beause he said it. And i was like, 'well...you should always wait for your friends/allies"
And in Sonic 3...let sjust say there is a reason why i hate Carnival Night Zone....ok two reasons, that music is really bad too!
I remember as a kid never being able to pass the second level of Link's Awakening because I didn't know you had to destroy the enemies in the order of Pols Voice, Keese, and the Stalfos. Even after the stone slab/owl told you to do so. And then when I finally got it, i was so happy...but MAN looking back do i feel like an idiot for not getting that.
Sometimes i wonder if time constraints has something to do with it. Also, im sure some of these studios are working on bigger projects, so they just hire a smaller team and be like "hey, we are re-releasing this game, so make it playable by any means necessary" and thus we get the products that we have
I mentioned this above, but Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection wasn't listed on this, but it did get released this week. I picked it up and spent way more time on it than I was expecting. I highly recommend picking it up if you are a Wonder Boy fan. It's what the original Wonder Boy Collection should have been.
@PtM at least they're not releasing all version at the same time when they know the older gen versions might need some more refinements. I think everyone learned a bit after cyberpunk
I think when I was younger I always saw this game at Blockbuster and I always passed it over cause od the bland box art. It's sad because this game is amazing. Great soundtrack and I like all the extra levels.
With that said...I am going with the Japan boxart. For goodness sake you can see the mouse on the bottom!
I knew it was going to happen eventually. Looking forward to it.
Heres my issue though. I absolutely LOVE the Wonder Boy franchise. But at this point, I am not sure if i want to just get the digital release only, or actually shell out for the physical collectors edition.
I feel like the Japanese box art should have ship specs that emphasize the speed aspect. I mean it looks kinda cool, but I have to go with the US/PAL boxart this time.
I keep becoming reminded that this is coming to an end. Need to pick up the FE DLC for the games. Luckily I won't need to get dlc for theatrhythm since its coming to switch and ps4
@shonenjump86 I still wish they would have added in the balance changes that later versions of games had...and of course Alpha 2 Gold and Alpha 3 Upper.
Honestly, I like the NA version with the style, and how Snake is dead center. But i like the EU version with the other character and in color. That ad on the Japanese version ruins it for me.
I find it funny that even though Ms. Pac-Man is not in te game anymore, they're still using an arrangement of the Act 1 Intermission theme from Ms. Pac-Man.
Im ok with Carnival Night Zone 1...as im not really a fan of the original song (probably due to my memories of how bad the level itself is). BUt...not a fan of the other songs TBH.
At this point this collection is going to be a pass for me...at least for now. Maybe when it goes down in price or...other stuff happens, i'll take a look.
I might get this for some of the Street Fighter games...i feel like the quality might be better than whats on Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection.
Im a bit sad that theres Alpha 2 Gold, or Alpha 3 Upper though.
I'd like to get the deluxe collection from Strictly Limited Games, but im still waiting on their copy of Asha in Monster World to ship. It's ridiculous if you tell me.
I loved the sega ages port of Phantasy Star. I know that Sega Ages is done, but I'd love to see more games along those lines where they make those QoL changes.
I'm also still wishing for a port of Panzer Dragoon Saga and Skies of Arcadia, but I am just wishful thinking now.
Personally, I'd love to just be able to support them officially if they released the game. I did play the fan translation, and heck, I even have a physical copy of the game. However, I want to support an official release because i feel like they do deserve that for all the grief we've given them to release the game (even though they've given us equally as much grief for not releasing it).
@EarthboundBenjy That to me is still the biggest question I have about this collection. Granted, I can go without having to hear Carnival Night Zone, but Ice Cap Zone is so iconic IMO. Time will tell if its the original stuff or not.
This excites me so much. I loved this game when I had it on Namco Museum Vol 5 (why did I sell that). I have a feeling I know the answer to this, but I hope that it's in English...but considering that Genpei Toma Den wasn't I don't have much hope for it being in English.
Im getting this physical, cause I know at some point it'll go Out of Print due to licensing issues. Excited about it. I just hope the soundtracks are the original ones unlike the Arcade1up version.
I love the wonderboy series...but for once I dont really see a need for this collection. I have the remake on Switch, and the Sega Ages version on Switch as well.
I have a copy of MWIV coming when i get the CE of Asha in Monster World, and a bunch of copies of WBiMW.

Re: More N64 Games Are Coming To The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack
SO at this point, what else do they need to add to the N64 collection? Like its been super solid with alot of the big hitters.
I wouldn't mind seeing Mischief Makers on there since I haven't really had a chance to relaly play it. I need to get my shake shake on.

Re: 3DS And Wii U eShops Approach Endgame As Nintendo Provides Closure Date
@Roibeard64 So i might need to get all the DLC sooner rather than later.
Looking at all the DLC i need to get for the the FE games, as well as DLC for Theatrhythm,...its going to be well over $150.
Re: Sega "Working On Fixing A Variety Of Issues" In Sonic Origins
Im still holding off on this collection until its on sale. Then i'll probably get it on Steam for...reasons.

Re: Poll: If Nintendo Released Mother 3 In The West, What Would It Be Called?
@Half-ShellHero Then I guess EarthBound Endings it should be then.
Re: Poll: If Nintendo Released Mother 3 In The West, What Would It Be Called?
I like EarthBound Endings, but what if it was EarthBound Continued to leave it open ended in case that there was a chance of a 4th game.
Re: Poll: Does Nintendo Really Need To Release Mother 3 In The West Anymore?
Personally, I'd love to just be able to support them officially if they released the game. I did play the fan translation, and heck, I even have a physical copy of the game.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Star Fox Game?
Star Fox Command really needs more love IMO. It feels like a fully realized Star Fox 2. And the multiple paths was really a good touch.
If I had to say which I think is the best its definitely Star Fox 64/Lylat Wars.

Re: Review: EarthBound - A Quirky, Cosmic Adventure Bound To Warm Your Heart
@yoshis1900 Honestly, Id give it another shot. The beginning of the game is kinda slow, but it does pick up. Its very quirky and unique.
