@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.
Its funny that people have thought that Zelda 2 is the worst. Yes, its cheap at times, and the formula is different, but...idk i still kinda like it.
Also, i find it funny that when I got my LoZ Game&Watch, the game i have played the most on it is Zelda II. Like ive been going to town on that game for some reason...especially over my favorite in Link's Awakening.
If we dont get Neo, thats fine. I could see Agent Smith show up...or an Agent if they can't get Hugo Weaving. I could see some sort of Fatality with Agent taking over the body or using his ability to decimate the enemy, or summoning sentinels. I could see it working.
I wouldn't mind this being remade...but I also want to see a port of FFTA and A2. These games deserve to be mentioned as well even if they aren't as renown as the original game.
Shadowgate has many creepy deaths like breaking a mirror and it turning into a portal into deep space where "The grim reaper waits to embrace you." Seeing a close up of that Grim Reaper everytime you die is very nightmare fuel as well.
Uninvited had alot of memorable creepy moments (and some what the crap moments). I think what sticks out to me is the Southern Belle. And of course if you're playing the PC version (or have the Ruby in the NES version) seeing that random red skull appear is very terrifying.
I literally just talked about how I was looking forward to this. Darn. I'll survive. It'll probably give me time to finish up NEO: TWEWY and Persona 5 Strikers....
@Captain_Toad I think EarthBoundBenjy covered it well. PS1 through Sega Ages is worth it, especially considering how expensive a physical copy is and the QOL fixes. It also has some references that show up in PS4. PS2 I personally like but it's very grindy (especially in the third act). The story is top notch and there are definitely some callbacks that come up in ps4 as well. PS3 is...definitely a sidestory and other than one small reference in PS4, it pretty much stands on its own. It has some good ideas with the having different paths based on who you marry but..the game itself is kinda bland.
Personally I think to fully appreciate PS4 it would be a good idea to play 1 and 2. Some of the references would make more sense playing it. But its up to you how you proceed.
@Expa0....you might be right. Cause other than Lunar 2 on Sega Cd, the jrpgs aren't as strong as snes. And as mentioned Lunar and Lunar 2 are Sega CD, not Genesis proper.
That being said the Shining games are definitely top tier. And I did like Landstalker too.
Fusion wasn't bad....but i wasn't a fan of the linearity. The article does bring up some good ideas though...thoguh I would have much preferred they posted a picture of Nightmare rather than just describe it cause....seeing the picture would have been better.
@ncgarcez I feel like you're thinking Quackshot, which WOULD be great on the console along with Castle and World of Illusion. Heck both of those were on the Mini, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it show up at some point.
IDK if you have a 3DS, but theres a great Sega Ages port of Afterburner II that is well worth picking up. Im sad they never brought it to switch like they did with Space Harrier and OutRun
I had the game pre-ordered, but then i saw all the bugs and glitches and im like, "Never mind, I'll just wait til its more stable". Plus...I dont need that keychain so badly.

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.

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: 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: Gallery: Brand New Screenshots Of Sonic Origins, Out On Switch This June

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.

Re: Pac-Man Museum+ Brings 14 Games In The Series To Switch

@SpringDivorce love the Noriyuki Iwadare soundtrack.
Re: Feature: The Scariest Game On Every Nintendo Home Console
Got a couple for NES. Shadowgate and Uninvited.
Shadowgate has many creepy deaths like breaking a mirror and it turning into a portal into deep space where "The grim reaper waits to embrace you." Seeing a close up of that Grim Reaper everytime you die is very nightmare fuel as well.
Uninvited had alot of memorable creepy moments (and some what the crap moments). I think what sticks out to me is the Southern Belle. And of course if you're playing the PC version (or have the Ruby in the NES version) seeing that random red skull appear is very terrifying.

Re: Poll: Which Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Should You Play First Via Nintendo Switch Online?
@Captain_Toad it's a shame we never got an official release of Phantasy Star: Generation 1 and 2 on PS2. Those were some decent remakes of the game.
Re: Poll: Which Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Should You Play First Via Nintendo Switch Online?
@Captain_Toad I think EarthBoundBenjy covered it well. PS1 through Sega Ages is worth it, especially considering how expensive a physical copy is and the QOL fixes.

Re: Namco's Hack & Slash 'The Genji And The Heike Clans' Joins The Arcade Archives
@KnightRider666 Thats very disappointing. I was looking forward to getting this on switch, but I will stick with the Namco Museum Vol. 4 version.

Anyone know if this game is translated like in Namco Museum 4?
Re: Classic Shooter Gleylancer Arrives On Switch Soon
