Thanks for writing this article, it’s spot on.

None of this crap matters without folders.

Dope. I love this game.

This looks dope. If I can find the space and money for it, I'll pick up the LED version.

Rush’n Attack is a classic.

Why not donate directly to Black Lives Matter? The NAACP is probably the weakest organization they could have donated to.

Dope. I think that's all of them, right? Will be cool to have the complete Shantae series on Switch.

Hopefully Microsoft buys it. That would be the best option. As an X owner I welcome it, but seeing as how Microsoft has been willing to share their IPs on other platforms it’s likely their titles would be available on Switch too.

What the hell is wrong with all these seedy Smash players? Never knew there was such an ugly underbelly lurking about.

She’s right about Super Mario 3D World, that game smokes every other Mario game ever made and it’s not even close.

I’m turned off by it being “free”.

Pre-kickstarter:
“The Japanese studio is indeed reviving the game for modern consoles, and yes, it's using Kickstarter to make it happen.
It's looking for $50,000 for funding for The Wonderful 101: Remastered, with the Switch version being the first to unlock.”

Post kickstarter:
“The actual reason we decided to do a Kickstarter campaign was not for funding at all, it was more about gauging interest in The Wonderful 101.”

@TheDragonDAFan The game was already made, it didn't need to be funded. That was just pure profit on their behalf under the guise of funding the game. That is purposefully misleading their backers, so yes it is a scam.

Anyone who backed this game got scammed. Platinum even admitted it. Millions of dollars raised for a game that was already complete, they straight up lied to their fans. Then they pulled that stupid April Fools trick. Now kickstarter backers are getting burned with late arrivals and added fees. I don’t trust this company, the money and success has made them arrogant and shady.

It's neither laziness or common sense, it is greed.

When money is your highest value all other priorities fall by the wayside.

Should have made it multiple characters in one, like they did with the Inklings.

Still looking forward to this.

Good. Mobile games are garbage.

Prove it. On July 11 when they announce EA UFC 4 it better be coming to the Switch too.

@Axlroselm I have a Pi with this game on it. I can play it anytime. However it's worth it to buy it on the Switch so I always have it with me. Switch is the best way to play games, so I'll always buy the classics for it, even if I already have them emulated on a million other devices, which I do.

@TG16_IS_BAE You don't have to be "far left" to be anti-racist.

But like you said, it's rather innocent and benign, so I wouldn't expect much backlash, especially given it's an old game.

This is one of the best games ever.

Too bad there’s no freakin folders to put them in!

That’s awesome, but I wish someone other than Hamster was publishing it. Needs online multiplayer.

Yes!!

Is this game available digitally? And is the 2-player coop gameplay online? Details.

The soundtrack is the best of the entire series. I bought the MP3 it's so good. It transcends video game music and is just straight up awesome music.

These people deserve an Oscar, or whatever it is you win for being awesome game developers.

What a bunch of nerds

Sega’s big announcements are always a letdown, so this is no surprise.

Super Metroid is the easy choice, considering that's the best SNES game of all time. But Starfox is also a 10.

Needs online multiplayer.

@Alucard83 chit chat? Who talks in a fighting game?

@Wargoose MK11 has a lot single payer content and it’s very good. It blows away SS and KoF in that respect. I just feel like you can only do so much battling the computer, their movesets are ultimately predictable. The only way to truly challenge yourself and become good at any fighting game is to fight real people. Which is why for me, single player contents is practice at best, fluff at worst. I'm sure you know this though.

@Wargoose The story is one of the best of any fighting game, and it fleshes out the lore. But I could easily live without it. Online play is the only thing that matters in fighting games.

I’ll be buying the new DLC characters for both the Switch and OneX versions, since I own it on both platforms. Another reason to only buy the characters and not the story for me.

I don’t give a flip about the extra story content. Single player modes in fighting games are mostly for practice (or for people who don’t actually like fighting games). But I’m definitely gonna grab the 3 new DLC characters.

I love the art style, but I wish they went back to the retro graphics we saw with Pirate’s Curse. That game also had the best music.

@KumaStyle Awesome. I'm a action-figure lover myself and buy lots of imports. Don't do Gundam or whatever those are, but there's no denying those are awesome looking figures and fantastic photos. I appreciate your posts.

@BulbasaurusRex Makes sense. I'm playing everything on a 4k TV, so the better image quality makes a big difference for me. The online play is actually the biggest selling point too, otherwise I wouldn't bother rebuying these games. The Hamster games should have come with online play in the first place.

@KumaStyle Are you the same KumaStyle that posts all those cool photos on ToyArk?

@BionicDodo Fair enough. Apologies for coming off as rude.

@BionicDodo The Wii versions of Samurai Showdown look like crap. They are stuck in 480p, the pixels are fuzzy. The Hamster games by comparison look sharp and crisp. There’s no denying the image quality is vastly superior on the Switch versions. That’s just a fact.

@Beatley82 There’s 13 unlockables, but 17 playable characters all together.

@nab1 I used to own the Wii collection and thought it was going to be my definitive collection, and would never need to buy it again. Until I tried the Hamster versions, then I immediately realized how bad they were by comparison. I sold the Wii collection soon after. It’s worth the upgrade.

@BionicDodo You obviously haven’t played the Wii versions and compared them to the recent versions from the likes of Hamster. The difference is immediately noticeable.

Did they fix the problem where the discounted games list slows to a crawl as soon as you start scrolling down?

Did they make it so your wishlist items delete after you purchase them, instead of having to manually remove them after each purchase?

Did they add folders?

Basic functionality would be a nice update to see someday.

@BulbasaurusRex That version is 420p resolution, low-res Wii graphics; it’s ugly and dated. This new collection will be in HD with crisp graphics for modern TVs. If you’re a fan of the series it’s noticeably worth the upgrade.

The online play has me sold. I’m in.

@Iam1iamall A new Double Dragon with online coop would be amazing.

@Razer I unlocked all 17 of the characters first by replaying some of the beginning stages, then I played through the whole game on normal, hard, hardest and am now working through mania. Each difficulty adds more enemies on screen, bosses double up etc, it becomes a full-on street brawl at the hardest settings, which is just awesome. I’ve played through it entirely with retro graphics and again with modern graphics. I’ve spent a bunch of time in Battle mode, which is a pretty legit fighting game in its own right. I’ve also made a couple attempts at Arcade mode. And since performance is graded for each stage, I find myself going back to stages to try to earn a higher grade, which has me jumping into other people’s sessions. And finally, I have a story I’m working on playing through online with my brother, whenever he has time.

As much as I’ve re-played the original SOR trilogy over the years, SOR4 is even better, and it’s the kind of game I will play through many times. It’s just a real joy to play.

Although I will say 80 hours is a lot for me. That’s more time than I put into most games, including some of my favorites. Time just flew by with this one.
