Worst company ever. I've ordered 3 games (Bubble Bobble, Steel Empire and Eschatos) and still waiting since 18+ months. At least I guess they have finally released the PS4 version of Eschatos, but no news since that. IF they deliver these games one day, it is my last time with them. As someone said, they should communicate a little bit more, customers don't like to be left wihout new informations. We're talking money and at the end of the day... Trust. The y have my money, but they don't have my trust and won't have it anymore.

How about the crossplay ? I heard it was absent. If it's the case, I'm wondering about how many people will play it on Switch. Not that much I guess.

People, you don't seem to realize that maybe it's only a business decision but nevermind. At first sight, they let people CHOOSE (now we're waiting to see in what proportions). Sell games only available in Japan in other regions and you will be the undisputed kings of this game. Best news of the day !

Seriously, how can someone be hyped by... this ? But to be honest, this is the Switch end of the line so I suppose it could be worse too. And we could also say that the Switch has been fed until the end.

I voted for a brand new game but without Kojima i strongly doubt about it. Who knows nevertheless ?

And for the rest... Unless a future port of the following games from the franchise will be on Switch 2 (for a lack of a better name), I sincerely hope there won't be another compilation, not in these conditions. Konami has been lazy on this one.

I would prefer an episode specially designed fot the current gen Switch, but again, without Kojima it could be a total non sense (and a mess) and with the next gen of Nintendo console arriving... No, please Konami, no.

Go physical. High price too but all is on the cartridge. No need to buy the DLC's.

I have the two physical Tiger Heli and the Toaplan Garage Collection, the only DLC you have to download is for the bonus game. In these two collections, all games are on the cartridge. For example, Tiger Heli and Twin Cobra have all the ports (MD, NEC, Arcade and NES) on the cartridge. Same for Toaplan Garage.

Just remember all the menus are in Japanese. You can play nevertheless, it's not very important. If you want to have translations for the menus at all costs, you can find them on the internet.

And after this , they'll say a proper physical version in the West isn't what the fans want...

Retrocompatibility please.

Good Game ! My advice: go 1cc only on this one. It's an arcade game, and a short one too, so credit feed is not an option at the end of the day. Once the game is finished in 1cc, there you go with all the cheats here to have fun and roll on it.

They say " better late than never " but seriously, it took 6 years for one of the biggest firm in this industry to react properly. I understand that they won't repair any problems caused by a customer, but everyone knows that the vast majority of the joycons will have these problems at one point. Nintendo never recognized this is a problem from the start of their conception.

Akai Katana is a hell of a ride, even if the Original mode is a son of a b (I'm not the greatest pro player around with shmups too). Also, my advice is don't count on the Novice mode (by tapping Y on the menu screen of each mode except Zetsu). Novice is wayyyyyy too easy and you won't be able to learn something from it. 1 or 2 runs is ok but not more. Prefer Training mode with the real difficulty, always. Once again a great great game by Cave, even if the port seems to be a bit laggy from what i heard here and here.

But Shin mode is the real deal here. If you have wondered one day what it feels like to be a pilot in command of a plane with plenty of katanas on your back ready to make a carnage on the screen, AK is made for you !

@Edd-O Graze Counter GM is great, absolutely.

The fact that LRG is now one of the biggest dealer of physical releases for indie and "little games" is killing me. This game and many others should be produced like any other and distributed in stores. On the other side, it's better than nothing I suppose.The Industry is sick.

Good news but still waiting for a decent 8 Man port.

Great news to kick off 2023 ! Any info for a physical copy soon ?

A very deceptive one for me. Apart World of Horror, Wrestlequest or Pepper Grinder, there was almost nothing. Only a pretty bunch of games with a narrative accent, which seem to be the new trend after rogue like and Metroidvania. How about a narrative / Mvania / Rogue like title for a change huh ?

Bring us back the joys of Arcade !!!

Resident Evil 6 with a complete wtf atmosphere, the main elements from the saga divided between the characters, should really be higher imho. At least above the more oriented shooting episodes (even if there is a bit of shooting in RE6 too).

A part of history is being delivered here folks. Of course all of this is already available "elsewhere", but it's good to see Atari celebrate their part in the long book of video games.

BUT hey, where is Pitfall, guys ?

Well, with all respect due to Mr Suda 51, NMH was a cool and fun franchise. Originality, self humor, gameplay was ok. But I'll outcry for it when Suda outcries for money to technically finish his games before. Plus 3 games and one spin off, i think all has been said. Time to move on. And if they really want to continue with this level of technics, I'm much more interested in a Killer Is Dead sequel for ex.

As far as I'm concerned, good news for those who didn't buy the Bayo 1+2. These are great games. Go check'em. But now I can't help but think that Big N milk the cow, because the people who were early buyers didn't have the first one on a physical edition. Some of them will surely buy the first episode just because it's physical.

I can live without it, but next time, Nintendo please...

I hope this will be no limited releases/only digital but proper physical games as far as possible.

If this is what we'll get, it's a no. Go for the original instead.

Nice list. I didn't play to everything but Metroid Dread isn't this difficult, imo. I've read here and here that the last boss is "pure hell" but I beat him on the 3rd ot 4th round.

Cyber Shadow is a gem, (really you should do it) but once again it isn't so difficult. It's a die & retry platformer so you die... and you retry. Once you see where to go and how to do it, it's easy really.

On the other hand, a big "congratulations" to those who have finished Baba Is You, this one is tough.

My heart made a bump from "Sega Announces Space Channel 5 And Comix Zone", I hoped for "Games" until I saw "movies". From here it's been an emotional downfall ^^

The grave diggers of video games will have plenty of stuff to study to. I'm realy enjoying the idea that this compilation will see the light of day, because as an old curious gamer i'll dive easily in this prehistoric era until the modern days of Atari.

@Silly_G Yep thanks. Already looking on the Asia version of River City Three Kingdoms, but I'll take a physical copy of this one anytime. Fingers crossed !

Great news ! Any chance for a physical copy (apart from LRG or others ) ?

Just for Black Tiger, I could buy this cashgrab. This game traumatized me when I was a kid. I finished it with the help of a dude. Man, sweet memories. But please Capcom, leave the old Street Fighters rest in peace. It's time, really.

Where is Souldiers, action platformer with a "Souls" side ? This game looks like a gem !

Andro Dunos 2 should/could be on this list.

Apart from the apparent technical issues , when i read the review, it reminds me Ghost N Goblins a lot (and GNG wasn't a monster of technology too, especially when it came out on NES). Hardcore game, hardcore progression. Just my feeling. May be interesting finally. But let's cross our fingers for a patch soon too.
