Journey to Silius is by far my favourite addition, such a shame it wasn't on VC before NSO. If you like action games give it a look, if only for its iconic soundtrack.
Can't believe this wasn't mentioned, since this is a Nintendo site, in the GameCube version of Fight Night Round 2, you can play Super Punch-Out!! as a bonus. It was due to a deal between Nintendo and EA at the time IIRC.
Every outsourced Contra game has been mixed IMO, the PS1 games are very underwhelming, 4 was bland as water, ReBirth was pretty good, Rogue Corps was halfway decent. I never played Uprising so I can't say much. Outsource Gradius to Treasure again, they only have some level of competency with shoot em' ups. As for other series, we all know it's Gyruss ReBirth time! (Also, bring back Rocket Knight already.)
I highly doubt this would be superior to Sonic 3 AIR, but If we get a new Sonic collection that has the MD games AND the Master System/Game Gear games that'd be grand. Especially if it had a snazzy interface like Mega Collection or Sonic Jam, what with the Sonic World Hub and all that. And for the niche of us, the option to play the MD/MS games in 50hz, so Sonic 1 with slowed down Music and gameplay, but Sonic 2 with just its slower gameplay. No reason at all other than for the novelty.
An entire version jump as well as "emergency eShop maintenance", maybe something NSO related? Can't imagine Nintendo just adding/changing something without warning.
I gave it a quick playthrough, and the controls seem jank compared to the final game.
I still wish the unused Transylvania music was used, I prefer it to the final version.
Also, the title theme is very slightly off. And the score just does whatever it wants. Weird.
Good luck ever seeing MGS on Switch considering Konami hates money. Also, remember the Silent Hill HD Collection? Just because the switch could run MGS 1-4 doesn't mean Konami wouldn't find an easy way to mess it up.
Nevermind, I'm a complete idiot. Doom on SNES is still bad though. Not even as impressive as the 3DO version. Wasn't 32x Doom also decent? My own personal one goes to Contra The Alien Wars on Game Boy, Factor 5 did a great job with it, bringing a 16 bit game to GB mostly intact.
I still reckon the Contra collection should have had Shattered Soldier and Neo Contra in place of the 2 Probotector games, but 5 quid for some of the best run n' guns ever made is a steal. Just be wary the emulation for Contra 1 Arcade is pretty bad.
I think this is the thing Sega mentioned that would be "special" in that live stream. (PPT 2 1 hour ago) Whether this is is special or not is up to you.

Re: Among Us Has Been Localised Into Irish
This is class, props to them. VVVVVV is also getting one IIRC, added in the most recent Steam beta.

Re: Feature: After Fire Emblem And Famicom Detective Club, What Comes Next From Nintendo's Vault?
Kururin Trilogy would be nice, they're not story heavy games so translation wouldn't be too hard. They're probably too niche to bother with though.

Re: Undertale Creator Toby Fox Provides Progress Update On Deltarune's Second Chapter
Chapter 1 was great. I don't care how long it takes, if it can surpass Undertale in quality, it'll be well worth the wait.
Re: Early Build Of Zelda 64 Discovered Inside F-Zero X Development Cartridge
At least it wasn't found by a prototype hoarder. Curious to see more, should be interesting.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 16th)
Both PS2 Contras, Sin and punishment and maybe Alien Soldier.
Re: Axiom Verge Is Getting Its "First Ever" Free Update Almost Six Years After Launch
Credits to him for doing something not a lot of developers do -
add replay value. More retail games need stuff like this.

Re: Contra Anniversary Collection
Still wish they didn't ignore the PS2 games.
Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For January And February 2021
3D World and GNG Resurrection.
And the Turrican collections if they ever release.
