@BigBluePanda You can play those in 4K on Redream.

Passed on it. It looks boring. And I've barely touched Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, Marvel Cosmic Invasion and Shinobi.

Let's hope a restart is patched in at some stage. Other than that, no complaints.

1080p in Dolphin with a Dolphin bar.

I got the Steam version and I think I'll stick with that for now, and maybe I'll pick up a console version in a sale. It's a good solid 8/10 game, but it's not an adrenaline fueled 9/10 must play. I found it a bit one-note throughout and I'd group it in the same league with Drainus which I haven't played much of since its initial release.

@Orwellian87 Killer line up lol

@orwellian87 Currently the Switch 2 has yet to justify a purchase.

I have this on PS5. Is there controller feedback on Switch?

I haven't got a Switch 2, I'm holding out for a h/ware refresh. The PSP 1000 screen wasn't great and that was fixed, so I'm hoping Nintendo follow suit. This looks a lot like Wario World.

First party game on new hardware and it suffers performance issues? Jesus Nintendo.

If you want a Fortnite box for your kids, get a Series S.

@sixrings Yeah, not likely to happen. Same with any of Konami's licensed games - Aliens/X-Men/GI Joe and so on.

I've only had one opportunity to play it in 1994 and hadn't seen it anywhere since.
I could never get Nebulasray working in any version of MAME even with parent sets/merged roms and an effort at recompiling all available files. I've read some forum posts from other people reporting the same issues with it. Maybe that's the reason for the price? I don't think people quite understand the work that can go into getting some games running properly, often filling in missing code requires quite a bit of detective work and this can often require contracting someone with knowledge of older legacy systems and even custom propietary development environments specifically created for only one game. Perhaps there's a technical reason why this game has never been released for consoles? For example try playing Konami's Iron Horse in MAME with autofire and watch what happens. That's likely why we haven't seen an ACA version of that, yet. Perhaps Namco didn't have a correctly dumped romset? This sort of thing happens. Read recent interviews with M2/Konami re the new Gradius collection.
People are very quick to start their rants re the price of this game.

Since the Switch 2 reveal this makes more sense now.

@FatWormBlowsASparky It is.

If you have a decent Android phone and Redream installed (Play store), you can play the Dreamcast version on it in tate mode and it runs like a dream.

I've recently replayed Ultimate Gn'G and it's clearly the superior game. I wish they'd remaster that.

Flynn's do it again. This is so much fun. Tough game.

A very authentic Toaplan tribute.

Like a turbo Tiger Heli sequel. Excellent review @Tom-Massey
It's great to know there's someone out there reviewing these games who actually knows what they're talking about.
The one thing that could have improved this package would've been M2 style gadgets for the arcade mode.
Got it on PS5 before Xmas, but may get on Switch for on the move play. Looking forward to the Strania - The Stella Machina review.

If you don't have the ACA games, wait for a sale. Pick this up for a bargain.

@Dang69 The issues he cites are only relevant if your experience of the series is console based.

I've had this since its release on Xbox 360. I play it on Series S and bought the Switch version, and tbh it looks like it does on Series S, on Switch. I'm not seeing any major changes.

I enjoyed playing the game, but the camera is a disaster. I don't think Platinum/Clover have ever managed to produce a game with a decent camera and this one just lets you down when you need it to be on point. The final boss fight being a particular low light.

I enjoyed this game, but had quite a few issues with the camera, particularly during the final Noah boss fight and this completely ruined the game for me, negating the positivity I had for it previously. Its jankiness generated such frustration.

Yakuza's fans only see the positives and excuse its issues.

Looks a little like Cannon Spike.

I'm 3 yrs late to this. It's been on the shelf and I'm working through my backlog. I've never played a Metroid game before and this has been quite the learning experience. There is no handholding with this game whatsoever. I've restarted it twice. Once 5 hrs in, because I totally forgot what I was doing after a week away and once when I mistakenly started exploring for items, and again, totally forgot what I was supposed to be doing and where I was supposed to be doing it. A couple of times I was begging for a system like Dead Space's, where you'd click the right stick and it would remind you where you're supposed to be going. Anyway, I think I'm on the right track now. It's a great game, maybe not for someone new to the franchise and its somewhat unforgiving nature, but still worthy of the high review scores.

Got a lot to get on with, but will definitely get this at some stage.

In context Tiger Heli is an important game following on from and expanding on Capcom's 1942, but I can see why some younger gamers may not find any value in it since it's a little simplistic and spartan compared to some of the current STG games, but I love it. I've had the Japanese release for a while now.
It's a 9/10 for me.

@MeloMan Moon Dancer is like a more fleshed out version of this, but Missile Dancer is a fantastic game in its own right.

Here's hoping the Konami games make it to Switch.

I loved my MSX, so I'd be well up for this. They're offering Konami games on PC for a sub, but it would be amazing to get them on Switch. Having access to my old games on a console would be something I'd happily pay for. Take my money D4.

What score had you never played it before?
@Shepdawg1

Went into the demo completely unaware that it's an update of a GBA game and I really liked it. Will wait for a price drop and pick it up.

Same score as Ghosts n' Goblins Resurrection lol

The demo made me play Metroid Dread, instead.

@Austrian You would love Arrange L which is akin to playing a fruit machine with its bullet cancelling, transforming bullets into gold stars for collection. Give some of the Cave games Live Wire put out on Switch a shot. Mushihimesama has a similar arrange mode.

Excellent. I got this on PS5, but I checked here to see Tom's review. Definitely agree with the 10, it's well deserved. Tom's review also gets a 10.

Just get Arcade Archives Image Fight and X-Multiply. Image Fight 2 is not essential.

Definitely a sale pick up for me. Hand held mode is enough of a draw to make this worth checking.

Have to say I really enjoyed this and I got 100% completion on Bowser's Fury. Fury can get a little melty though when Bowser's end game is triggered. I had to go through with it a few times just to get on with the game.

I've gotten everything related to Shot Triggers so far on PS5. I can't recommend them enough. The definitive versions of these games and while the gadgets are a little unnecessary, they fill the space on screen and look fantastic.

@PKDuckman Yeah, just create a 2nd account.

@Cashews Guwange is intact, but supposedly there's an extra couple of frames of lag over the 360 version.

@masterLEON You're more likely to see those coming from Hamster's Arcade Archives once they catch up with Taito and Namco games. There are only a handful of Konami games they haven't released yet. They hinted a while ago the next Konami game would be Mikie.

So this has been treated similarly to Mario Sunshine?

I picked this up in a sale, recently. I'm getting tired of Indie stg. I can't quite put a finger on why I find this game uninspiring, I just do. I wish Cave were still making console games. Even Drainus, while it looks great becomes a chore quite quickly.

After splashing out on the recent Darius collections and being annoyed by the price cuts, I think I'll hold fire on this and get it when it's drastically reduced.

5.28 frames avg docked. Add a frame if using a USB arcade stick. You would assume that a wired stick would be better, but it connects to the dock which adds a frame. You're better off with a pro controller or a Bluetooth arcade stick.
