Simply put, this looks terrible. However in a way it could work. I'll reserve final judgement until after I see it, but I will say this, Guiles legendary haircut while looks cool in the game or anime, looks absolutely awful in live action.

@Kilroy 😆

I'm not surprised that this spoiler was released as there are almost never any real surprises in movies anymore. They do this to drum up hype, but wind up taking half the fun out of seeing the movie. This really should have been kept a secret, because the pop from fans when they saw the movie would have been tremendous.

Like many others, I honestly don't remember the voice acting in Mega Man 11 (in fact I remember Powered Up and the laughably bad voice acting in 8 more) but that doesn't take away from his performance either. While I applaud Capcom for going back to him, I understand both side when it comes situation. Capcom didn't want to work under union rules, and Ben likely couldn't due to being in the union, or his apprehension to not have their backing despite what Capcom offered got the better of him.

The main focal point here revolves around the concerns of his work being used for AI, which while Capcom stated they wouldn't, he didn't want to take that chance. So in the end no deal could be met.

AI at the end of the day is here to stay, but especially from a performance standpoint will never truly replace a human. It can however be used as a tool to enhance, which is what it should be used for. There should be some degree of protection for the voice actors in this regards, and if their voice will be used with AI, than appropriate compensation should be given (think a royalty check). Only time will tell though if this will happen though.

Yet another collection of poor licensed games that LRG is rereleasing for reasons. None of these were ever good, so I don't see anyone really clamoring to grab it. I guess in a sense it is nice that they are getting some sort of rerelease from a preservation standpoint, though once that license lapses they'll be delisted.

At this point we're just waiting on LRG presents the best of Marvel from LJN or the LJN Classic collection with all the licensed goodness you wish you could scour from you memories.

The games I played the most were the following:
1. Graveyard Keeper
2. Dragon Quest 1&2 HD 2D Remake
3. Mega Man Zero/ZX collection.
4. Stardew Valley
5. Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake.

I've stated numerous times that it's not a matter of if, but more a matter of when gaming will go fully digital. Anyone who has done PC gaming has faced this reality for a long time now. Many retailers are phasing out physical games much like dvds and Blue rays. The Game Key Card is a stop gap at best for this inevitability.

As for DQ7, I'll likely get the switch 1 version as I have yet to get a Switch 2 (my rule of thumb is to wait a year after the systems release for any bugs to be worked out).

Already have this and Vol. 2 digitally, so I can't say I'm inclined to get this, that and given that LGR seems to do questionable work these days just isn't appealing. The stadium cover seems to be the best option for this collection, though I do appreciate the variety of covers offered.

I'm always down for more Dragon Quest. Hopefully we'll hear more about 12, or an 2DHD remaster of Dragon Quest IV. Although I would also love to see the first 2 Dragon Quest Monsters getting remade with a localized release

The NA for me on this one, you can tell there was some care to make this one pop and give a glimpse what you can expect from the game, and showing off the Jet Adapter was a good choice. The JA one to me looks incredibly generic, and lacks personality.

Nice to see this one get a rerelease. Not sure I would go physical with it given I'll be waiting a decade, but if dropped digitally, I'll invest.

Tecmo Super Bowl got me on this one

I've become quite a fan of games from Puppet Combo in recent years, with games such as No One Lives Under the Lighthouse, Night at the Gates of Hell, and Bloodwash all being fun and disturbing horror experiences, though they aren't for everyone. Also Faith: The Unholy Trinity is also an amazing horror experience I'm surprised was left off here.

There are way too many outlining factors that could go into this. For example are we talking AAA titles, than yes you could see where this decline would fall. Also are we discussing physical only, or are we including digital? If we're including digital than one could easily get Indy titles at a lower cost, bumping up the number of games purchased within a year. Then what about bundles? There are times when you could get a bundle of multiple games in one deal. The safe presumption from this article is likely tied to AAA full price games, and not anything else.

I loved this game back in the day, so I am definitely picking this up.

I'll be getting these as well, even if Star Force wasn't my favorite of the Mega Man series

The accessory seems like an unnecessary add on, especially since you can enjoy the games without it. While I'm glad to see the library getting released to the online service (hell being acknowledged) the extra add on feels hamfisted and almost trolling in a sense.

I'm down for the Virtual Boy library being dropped on the online service, but the add on seems a bit unnecessary.

Beat this back on the PS1 when it first came out, got the 3DS version as well. It's not my favorite entry, but it's cool that it's getting a remake. Personally I'd love to see 4-6 get the remake treatment (or at least get rereleased even if it's the DS ports).

I mean this isn't the first crap collection to hit the market, especially from LRG less we forget but a few short years ago they put out the Bill and Ted collection, a pair of awful games that there was no reason to rerelease. There may be some nostalgia for some, but the only reason to get this is the morbid curiosity of how bad Bubsy 3D is.

First time seeing the European box art, and that is something I wish we had state side. Granted the NA one is more representative of the game, but that European one has more, comforting feel.

These two games may not be classics, but their inclusions is still a really nice addition. It'll be fun checking them out again, despite their quality.

The latest update for Mega Man Maker dropped so I'm playing that. I've also been going through Super Metroid again.

It's a shame these titles never got a second life on the 3DS with their virtual console. The system could have brought some of the better titles back, without the headache enducing eye strain the VB presented. Unfortunatly these titles are likely to be forgotten to the sands of time, and really the best way to play the good ones today is with Emulation.

It's actually surprising that this wasn't a thing sooner. Cooper at the present is pretty useless so this will be a nice addition.

Well, I can't say that I am shocked by this, but I am disappointed. Kind of hard to say this is the definitive version without all the content. Still it is what it is, and something many companies have done for years, not just Squarenix. Hell many of us are still waiting for Castlevania SOTN to get the extra content found in the Saturn version. Will Konami ever do it, no of course not, but that doesn't mean we can't dream of it happening one day.

I always wait a year to 18 months before investing in a new system, regardless of the company. Gives them time to work out the kinks. That said I'd feel bad for those whose preorders got cancelled without notification, I know I would be pissed if it happened to me.

@Chocobo_Shepherd yeah, the monster pile-on being OP will be missed, when combined with Wild Side it made for one hell of an attack. I'll have to play later to see how much it's nerfed.

Not the first time LRG put out a trash collection to cash in on nostalgia. That said there's probably enough of a fan base to justify this one.

I'll pass, I go back to playing Doom on my fridge like a normal person.

I didn't care for the remake, so I could care less about this one

Physical Media has been on life support for a long time, in all areas outside of books. As much as a lot of us may not want to accept it, it will eventually go strictly digital. So the question is, when that time comes, will you stop gaming? Do you stop listening to music since CD's are all but extinct. What about movies, do you buy the Blue Ray (if you can find it) or watch it on streaming? Times are changing, and options such as this are delaying the inevitable.

Physical Media is on life support across the board. More and more retailers are moving away from it, and so its not so much a matter of if, but when it will be digital only. Movies and Music at this stage are mostly digital with physical being more of a niche commodity. One or two more generations and physical Media will be no more with gaming.

Total Games played: 58
Hours Played: 506
Top 3 games played:
1. Stardew Valley - 191 hours
2. Vampire Survivors - 87 hours
3. Dragon Quest Monsters - The Dark Prince -75 hours

This one got me pumped up, I can't wait to see the final result.

I know there are mixed feelings about this trailer, however as a long time Mega Man fan I'm excited to check this out. It'll be interesting to see this interpretation of the property. However if this isn't your bag you can always check out the 2010 fan film from Eddie LeBron.

My top 5 are:

1. Dragon Quest IV - Chapters of the Chosen
2. Castlevania Order of Ecclesia
3. Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword
4. Contra 4
5. Dragon Quest Joker

I got the Dragon Quest 3 remake so I may dive into that, but more than likely I'll continue playing Stardew Valley because I love that game.

I've been a fan of some of the games from Puppet Combo. Night at the Gates of Hell, No One Lives Under the Lighthouse and Bloodwash were all fun times.

A small change like this isn't going to change much in regards to the game, since it is mostly cosmetic. Now the Type-1 and Type-2 is a little silly, and just reminds me of Diabetes. Still these days it has become necessary, since we do live in such sensitive times.

I can see why they would go with Soul Reaver 1&2 as those are the best entries in the series, however it's a shame that Blood Omen 1&2 as well as Defiance may potentially be overlooked. Still if this collection can revive interest in the series and potentially bring new entries, I'm all for it.

I've been playing a lot of Vampire Savior, recently downloaded it and I've been having a lot of fun with it.

I'm going with Digital on this one, the physical pack looks cool, but not enough for me to get it.

There's a few that come to mind that it's a shame it hasn't migrated over to the switch. Two right off the bat are Metroid Samus Returns and Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds are both 3DS exclusives that would easily transition to the Switch. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point we get the Castlevania DS trilogy as well as Mega Man Star Force trilogy on the platform. However if I had to pick one batch of games, ones that like many are trapped on the consoles of their release, it's the vastly underrated Rebirth trilogy that was on the Wii. Castlevania the Adventure, Contra, and Gradius rebirth all need a rerelease of some sort either individual or as a compilation on the switch.

I'm mostly digital these days, however, I do also like to occasionally get physical copies as well. I think the problem with the digital only aspect is the fact that there's that feeling of not having true ownership of what you purchased and companies like Ubisoft enforcing that idea. You add in factors like the Wii Wii u and 3DS eShops closing, and so many of those titles are now lost to time. In order to fully encourage digital, you have to ensure that when you purchase the game, it is yours, you have to have some way of being able to return a game if you don't like it let's say a 30-day grace period. They're also needs to be the option to allow digital purchase to be able to be played on say a family account. Lastly, the digital price needs to be cheaper than a physical. Unfortunately, I don't see any of that happening, at least not in the current landscape.

I'd like to see a return to the classic JRPG roots for Phantasy Star.

Favorite trailer was easily for me Sephiroths, it was an intense and badass trailer.

However shout outs also go to Kazuya for how silly it was and Simon and Richter because, come on Castlevania

This is one of those circumstances that makes it pointless to release a boxed copy if there is no actual cartridge inside. It's a troll move to be certain, but the case would likely stand out more than the digital cards you find at a lot of stores.

Eh, I would buy it digitally regardless

This is random, but with number of other licensed collections out there now (Jurassic Park, Bill and Ted) this will at least be a compilation of decent titles. If it's reasonably priced, then I'll grab it.

I'm not opposed to it, especially since in the long run that will be the direction things wind up at eventually. I do think though if companies want to incentivize people towards that route the digital games have to be cheaper than physical. You take out say $5 - $10 and that will make them in general more appealing. I also think though that if you have more than one system (like say a parent and child) having a registered cloud system in place to enable limited sharing should come into play (say max registered systems 3, with a financial penalty to remove systems)
