Keep it at 10 years like PlayStation and I'm cool with it. I say a console should at least last 10 years before it gets replace by the next successor.

When you take into account that the Nintendo Switch only had these going for it, the fact that the Switch numbers are closer to PlayStation 2 numbers in a short amount of time are quite impressive.

• Switch launch without backwards compatibility with any past consoles or handhelds library whereas PS2 rely on backwards compatibility with its full PS1 library of games.
• You can't watch movies or tv shows on Switch day one compare to PS2 which was a native DVD movie player day one.
• Switch is strictly a videogame console with little to no multimedia extras of any kind, this is different from PS2 which is a multimedia device as well with support for music CD and mp3 day one.
• Switch had no free online play like at all whereas PS2 had free online play for its entire generation until the PS4.
• Switch never had a price dropped at any point for any of its three models during its run whereas PS2 had price dropped across all of its models later down the line within its run.
• While the Switch is a hybrid console that could be play dock on the tv and on the go as a handheld portable machine, the PS2 could be play on the tv though you could always buy a monitor to attach to it to make it look like a portable device to play on the go if where you play had a wall socket that is.
• PS2 reach 155 million units sold in 12 years whereas Switch only reach it in 9.5 years. March 2027 will be Switch's 10th anniversary on the market.
• Nintendo Switch 1st and 2nd party titles rarely if ever had any price dropped down the line but PS2 1st and 2nd party titles had dropped in price to even bargain bin price tag 2-3 years after released.

While the $50 price hike is nothing to sneeze at, a Nintendo console at $500 MSRP is just absurb. I never thought I live in a world where a new Nintendo console cost more than a new NeoGeo console (which is only $250).

I'm hoping maybe they add some new missions to this remake. Maybe give us the privilege to finally play the Star Wolf team for once from their perspective maybe as a post game contents or free DLC.

Fantastic, day one buy indeed. Please make the next Kid Icarus Uprising sequel like this.

Is it going to be another reboot where Scorpion and Sub-Zero are cousins and Kitana is a guy? At this point Kitana may as well be a guy since Liu Kang doesn't have a lover anymore.

What about Waluigi?

While cool, if they are just game key card release then they are not worth getting anyways.

@kfflscnt eBay is not own by any other company, it is its own independent company. Google had its own failing web store, they don't need eBay.

A small failing company trying to buy a big successful company? That's like a shrimp buying a whale, the whale would just easily eat the shrimp. I don't in any part of the cosmos see this working in favor of GameStop. If he had that kind of money and want to create an Amazon competitor, best to just abandon GameStop and go make an Amazon competitor himself. Why rely on eBay? Why not be like Temu and just be original. I mean Temu didn't just become big cause they bought another company to go against AliExpress, they become big cause of major risks and originality different from AliExpress.

@Sixteen_Bit_89 Good question, considering the PSP version is wide-screen formatted already, it would make sense to use that version for this upcoming remastered of the game just like how Star Ocean: First Departure R, Tactics Ogre Reborn, and Ys Memories of Celceta did. It would make no sense to use the PS1 version as that one only use the 4:3 aspect only and remastering that for a modern release just feels a bit outdated.

@breach187 It's no surprise why that one never came stateside, it's obvious that Namco of America screw up the naming back then and just choose not to localize it.

More Switch ports of games we already got? Why not just remastered Dragon Quest VIII & IX right now, those are the only two I want to play on Switch the most.

One of my favorite PS1 Tales of game back then next to Tales of Destiny and Tales of Phantasia. Interestingly at one point this game was called Tales of Destiny II as well despite not being an actual sequel to the original Tales of Destiny. Definitely looking forward to this remastered.

@PKDuckman The reason is because they are not famous or popular enough, they had to be famous in able to get hit by something. Being infamous means nobody knew anything about them, they are not worth to target, or they had a bad reputation of doing things that are not important or interesting a.k.a. they are a nobody. Only the famous or popular ones get hit by the corps. It's similar to celebrities and other popular things in cultural media, the more popular or famous you are, the more likely you are open to be hit by threats from other people, corps, or even rival of the same interest. If you're not popular or popular enough then you could get away with things even if it's illegal. It's like in Death Note, Kira was only targeted cause he's a much bigger threat and also the more popular one over the smaller loser criminals out there. A better example is if you play Dodgeball and you are the better dodger usually the one that lasted longer than everyone else in the battlefield and often never get hit by the ball, there's a likely chance the throwers will mostly and definitely target you first or only you than the many losers that kept getting hit even if they weren't targeted. They may even put a bounty score on you too so whoever did strike you will earn the most points.

I would be okay for these to be digital only game had these are smaller title but these are huge games that shouldn't had any reason to be code-in-a-box digital only release. Also Skyrim again, like wtf a 16gb cartridge is acceptable but a 64gb cartridge ain't enough to include the whole game in the cartridge? Makes no sense, just pay the price and make everyone happy Bethesda.

Cool update but I found it's a tad too late and the online play regardless of krossplay had the same 10 people playing it which is not that good. Digital Eclipse should had kept the hype going and delay the release of the kollection until close to the launch of the Mortal Kombat 2 movie that way it would had everything ready for launch. Having krossplay right now is better than never but by releasing this kollection too early as a barebone package last year with little to no online activities already kill off any interest that the kollection would have. Also not planning to add anymore new games to the kollection especially some missing fan favorites just rub people the wrong way and those same people yapping about the online play not being as smooth or reliable like Fight Cade ain't coming back to the kollection either.

While their offerings right now are okay and despite the kollection online feature being heavily jank at launch, the unprofessional way they communicate with their audience especially early on and even today had already push people away from the kollection now. The lack of apology, lack of excitement, and the constant "we'll try but can't guaranteed it'll happen" attitude of the dev ain't giving fans any reason to stick around much longer for the kollection going forward.

A Super Mario Sunshine Movie perhaps?

I haven't play Yakuza enough to the part where I know who this guy is so yeah it's nice to have him in the game but wasn't really expecting much. As a matter of fact I was expecting another Sonic character and did not get one which is disappointing, I mean c'mon where's Mighty the Armadillo, Ray the Flying Squirrel, Fang the Sniper, Bark the Polar Bear, Bean the Dynamite, Trip the Dragon, Ristar the Shooting Star, Dynamite the Headdy, Gilius Thunderhead the Golden Axe, Joe Musashi the Shinobi, Blaze the Bare Knuckles, Max the Shining Force, Prince Ali the Beyond Oasis, Asha from Monster World IV, Vectorman, Bug, Astal, Alex the Kidd, Kid the Chameleon, Chaos the Zero, Infinite, Vyse, Mag Launcher, Billy Hatcher, Pepper, Red and Blue, Mephiles the Dark, Tikal, etc? Most importantly where's the Daytona Hornet car, that car was in a Sega crossover once (Fighter's Megamix or maybe it was Virtua Fighter 3tb) but this Sonic racing game is a game that makes the most sense to include it.

Cool, didn't know the Rugrats had this many games. Back then I had only seen (but never play) the Game Boy Color games and that's it.

I find it interesting how the 90s versions of MK starts with the Earth Realm tournament and then just went straight to the Invasion storyline of MK3 (skipping the Outworld tournament of MKII). Now this 2021 versions start with a prep story and then focus on the Outworld tournament of MKII that the 90s versions skipped. It seems it's just patching the gap of what the 90s versions forgot to fill. My guest is the third film could be the Shinnok invasion story of MK4 if that ever happen.

Nice, if I found out that it isn't a game key card then I will definitely buy it.

Man to treat the Game Boy Super Mario Land games like after thoughts is a total disrespect to the Gunpei.

Nice, can't wait to see more of it.

@burninmylight The other three games are included in the Sega Genesis Classics Collection; however, since Sega already delisted that collection the only way to play those games now are either to wait if they would come to Genesis NSO or just get the collection physically.

Whatever did happen to the games that they announced two years ago at the Game Award? So far of those we only seen Shinobi, Panzer Dragon II Zwei, and The House of the Dead 2.

Nah, you can't even play it on the go so there's no point. I get the game is a decent Final Fantasy MMORPG but MMO are games I try and then get tired half way through. I already had my time with it 8 years ago so not starting over again.

Good but too little too late as I already cancelled my FFXIV subscription eight years ago.

Game looks like PS3 garbage, glad it's not coming to Switch 2.

C'mon Microsoft, y'all had over many hundreds of IPs given to you on a silver platter, use em.

The fact that the Switch 1 sale numbers is close to Switch 2 sale numbers is impressive. I could see Switch 2 sales slowing down this Summer behind the Switch 1 (which still had some amazing games coming soon) if Nintendo doesn't announce any must buy titles for Switch 2 soon. People already got tired of Donkey Kong Bananza and the countless lazy Switch 1 and Wii U ports with minor upgrade ain't helping.

This is what Metroid Prime 4 Beyond should had done.

I still say she fits more with the Darkstalkers crowd than the Street Fighter crew. Her weirdness would fit in well with the mystique of Darkstalkers since she looks out of place in Street Fighter. I mean she literally stalk this dude in the dark.

Looks like a cozy relaxing game, I may check it out at some point.

Miss opportunity for not making this game Nintendo Switch 2 Virtual Boy attachment compatible 😁

One of my all time favorite N64 game back then right next to A Bug's Life and Jet Force Gemini.

I already got the game on Steam but would definitely getting the physical edition for the Switch as I didn't get the chance to buy it on the failed PS Vita.

After playing this on the Genesis, compare to other horizontal shmups like Lightening Force, this one is just meh at best. It's an okay shooter but I feel this version would had fare much better if it's an actual indie game that took advantage of modern systems and not just a Genesis rom on an emulator. It could had been much better here, the lack of qol features despite using emulation is also a disappointment. You can't be selling a rom and then still pretend that you're releasing an indie game.

@NeonPizza You say that there's no excuse for these games to run at 30fps with slowdown or lags anymore but you had to realize the more high-def and feature these TV/consoles/PC are, the more likely you will experience those especially when it comes to retro games. Lags doesn't exist back then cause a lot of the more advance features we had now didn't exist. WiFi feature interruption, internet had ads which cause interruption, bluetooth is similar to WiFi, HDTV had lags and made even worst when you're trying to play retro games emulated or upscale on them.

The only way these games would be the way you mention is if all of them got the HD remastered treatment but by going that route you will lose the pixel perfect visuals of the originals. Let's face it, what you want of those will never happen. These are old games that were meant to be play on CRT TV, when trying to emulate them for HD that's when all the problem happen and it's not because of the games, it's because of technologies. Unless you're playing games that were meant to be play in HD, playing these old games on modern systems will always had issues minor or major.

Could had added 5 more with Goku. The other five could be Gomah (with the Third Eye), Degesu, Dr. Arinsu, Glorio, and Majin Duu.

Would be nice to have another Metal Slug Collection that includes these 12 games complete with online co-op rollback netcode multiplayer:

• Metal Slug (NeoGeo)
• Metal Slug 2 (NeoGeo)
• Metal Slug 3 (NeoGeo)
• Metal Slug 4 (NeoGeo)
• Metal Slug 5 (NeoGeo)
• Metal Slug 6 (Atomiswave)
• Metal Slug 7 (Nintendo DS)
• Metal Slug X (NeoGeo)
• Metal Slug XX (PSP)
• Metal Slug: 1st Mission (NeoGeo Pocket Color)
• Metal Slug: 2nd Mission (NeoGeo Pocket Color)
• Metal Slug Advance (Game Boy Advance)

@disappointedMii They created both docks so the Switch 1 & 2 could become a home console, not a game stick. When the Switch 1 & 2 got inserted to their dock, they no longer use the battery inside the console but the power adapter that is plug into the dock.

Of all the Wii U games that Nintendo ported to Switch that end up being good, I'm surprised Star Fox Zero didn't received that same treatment especially since it was made by a dev closely associate with Nintendo. The game may suck on Wii U due to the force motion controls but if enhanced and improved for Switch with optional controls and more contents it would had been excellent and would had tie people over until a true mainline Star Fox game got release. Such miss opportunity there.

As long as we got more fights and less talks then it's cool. The thing the 1994 film got wrong was that there's more talkings and less actions for a franchise known for fighting.

@MamaSymphonia A majority of those Switch 2 sales are for the region lock Japan language only version of the Switch 2 which cost around $330-$350 USD so that cheaper model actually help Switch 2 sell in Japan. I doubt many would pick up the $450 multi-language edition.

@jsty3105 Then the dev cries why we only pirate their game.

I already got my fill with the Switch physical version so I don't need this.

Would be more interested if I didn't already pay for the upgrade with the Switch version. Good for those who hadn't gotten into the game yet I suppose.

Cool title but that's the only good thing about it, everything else is just meh. It looks and feels too much like a generic mobile flash game. Not sure why Sunsoft even bother to publish this, maybe they too got fool by the cool title.
