I just might thanks for the recommendation!

I've known about this series since the Nes days when it was called Dragon warrior but never really played any of the games. Maybe it's time i did. Not sure if i should go OG and play the original or try one of the remakes.

@Cameron_Poe
Wise words! So True. People just aren't happy unless they're miserable or they've got something to complain about.

@SalvorHardin
Well excuuuuuuse me princess! I have been playing games for decades and i didn't notice anything game breaking or unplayable. I mean yeah the Gameboy games run like ass but they always did. I have the MK arcade collection on my PS3 and aside from never getting a connection online even when it was new it plays just as good as this latest compilation as far as i can tell. I'm used to games having issues and bugs. I grew up before online updates existed.

Good news! I noticed several people are already tearing into the game on YouTube. They're saying it's horrible for some reason and telling people how unacceptable and broken it is. I honestly don't know what the hell They're talking about. Been having a great time with it myself and haven't experienced any of the so called issues.

I heard online wasn't working but I'm never gonna play online anyway. Don't feel like getting destroyed by some punk way more skilled than me. Never cared about online in the modern games either for that same reason.

At least they are working on fixing whatever problems it has but how about adding a few more games? At least Deadly alliance, Deception and Armageddon so we can have those on a modern platform.

It's quite a collection of games! Way better than the street fighter arcade collection. The Gameboy versions sure didn't age well. Can't believe i tolerated them way back in the day playing on the school bus while riding to school. They look like complete ass on my big 4K TV. Nice to finally be able to play MK 4 without having to dig out my N64. Would definitely like to try Gold as it's basically an expanded version.

We really need Deadly alliance, Deception and Armageddon to really make it feel complete. Then every MK before the modern games would be playable on current hardware.

What's everyone's opinion on the screen filters? Do you prefer them off or on?
I feel like they look too washed out and blurry.

I really need to get caught up on these. Only really played the original and 2nd one way back on 3DS i think. Never touched any Shantae game since. I better correct that soon.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant
It did eventually grow on me. I guess the zelda overworld theme constantly blasting (da da, Da da da da da da!) Would be obnoxious and get old old after a while walking through the huge open world. 😉

Haven't had a record player since I was a kid but it's tempting. When the game first came out the music was one area where I was disappointed. I was like what music? It's mostly ambient noise and nature sounds. No traditional zelda themes. I guess it's just far more atmospheric.

I saw a video with a guy showing that the new compilation of Galaxy 1 and 2 has issues running on switch 2. Particularly the beginning area of Galaxy 1 during bowsers attack. Haven't tested it myself but supposedly the game lags really bad on that part.

@Bluelink45
Oh sure I've seen plenty of games on other platforms that had alot of obvious passion put into them but Nintendos first party titles just seem to have that something special that's missing from other developers games. It's their attitude towards gaming that i feel is unique. They want gaming to be fun for everyone. Kids, parents or even grandma.

With Sony and Microsoft it's like eh just make whatever sells. Guns, violence, the next copy paste open world 70 hour yawn fest. It's like they've got no ambition. No desire to create something people will remember that isn't just the same recycled generic crap.

Only Nintendo makes games the way they do. There's a certain charm and whimsy that only their games provide. I remember a time when they were so dominant in the industry that parents literally thought every video game was Nintendo. It was like the very word itself defined video game. I'd be playing Sega genesis and my mom would still holler up the stairs, (supper time! Shut off that Nintendo and come downstairs!)

Ah the 80s, Gaming was new and exciting. Parents had no clue what magical sorcery was taking over their kids minds and hearts.

These days it's all shoot this or cinematic realistic graphics that. In my day games were made with dedication and heart!

Truly it was a special time to be young!

The series basically started on Nintendo platforms with the Nes and Snes games. Then when the original FF VII came out Nintendo got left behind because of the N64s unappealing Cartridge format at the time when everyone else was using disc's.

Now the remake of that game is coming back to Nintendo! The circle is complete!

Bought this and Rogue leader on day one when i bought my GameCube all the way back in November 2001. Man has it been that long? I stayed up all night alternating between games. I remember when I first booted up Luigis mansion. Couldn't believe what i was seeing! The graphical leap from N64 to GameCube was insane! The lightning flashed in the main lobby of the mansion and my jaw hit the floor!

Speaking of Luigis mansion i usually marathon the whole trilogy around this time every year and I'm doing it again. Here's hoping for Luigis mansion 4! Haunted amusement park anyone?

@DonnieTACO

Well pretty close graphically anyway. I know realistically that just isn't gonna happen but every little bit helps.

Wow if they keep updating this game it's gonna be right up there with the PS5 version. Not that it was all that bad in the first place. One of the more impressive ports. I'm just tired of people saying the switch 2 can't handle modern games or it's not really next gen. Been hearing that crap since N64.

As a switch fan i will still be getting in on the action since i do have a PS5. However this game better eventually be on switch 2. I see nothing holding it back. Heck some reviewers are even comparing it to a PS3 game so it's not exactly hardware demanding. I know Itagaki didn't have involvement in this but surely his spirit will be felt by people while playing this. RIP man, you were a Rockstar of gaming!

There aren't many snes games i haven't played seeing as i was there since the begging but this is one of them. Definitely mean to check it out one of these days.

@HingryHuppo

Honestly I hate those dumb trophies. Yeah great for people who need that reassurance but in my day we made up our own. We'd try to beat a game without dying, kill a boss without taking any hits etc.

Now kids need a ping saying congratulations you opened a door or yay you found a key!

If i see one more thread begging Nintendo to add trophies to switch games I'm gonna scream. 😠

Didn't know he created dead or alive. All I knew of his work was that he basically resurrected Ninja gaiden with the modern series in 2004. I remember people were so down on the 3rd one because he wasn't involved in making it. The game actually isn't that bad if you're talking about the retooled Razors edge version.

I know he had nothing to do with Ninja gaiden 4 but i bet while making it the developers tried their best to emulate Itagakis style and make it more like the first two games. Obviously the legacy lives on.

This man definitely left his mark on gaming. I'll play some dead or alive and remember him while playing Ninja gaiden 4.

I don't normally play this type of game but i will say it looks good. Very 90s Disney. If money is ever burning a hole in my pocket i might go for it.

I see no excuse why Ninja gaiden 4 couldn't come to switch 2 eventually. Good thing i have a PS5 anyway but yeah the original three are playable on switch with master collection. Also can someone tell me why The other Nes games never came to Nintendo online? We got the first one but not NG 2 Dark sword of chaos or Ancient ship of doom. What gives?

What is with this sudden resurgence of Bubsy? Those games were never good. What's next Aero the Acrobat remastered? Shaq fu 2? Oh wait that actually happened. 🙁

I just found out about these games and I'm rather intrigued. Might have to check them out sometime. Currently doing a Resident evil marathon and starting playing the sinking city.

Never did finish this one. Played it back at launch but kept thinking it ain't quite no Banjo Kazooie. I'll give the remake a try and see if it sways my opinion. The original definitely had problems.

I played the hell outta the first one. Finished it 100% even the dlc. Second one i just got too busy playing other stuff and kinda lost interest. I would like to finally finish it one of these days but backlogs for someone who's been gaming since the beginning can be a little time consuming. Heck there's PS3 games I never finished.

Wow a couple old mario games from 2007/2010 can't steal the spotlight from a new tripple AAA Sony big budget title! I'm so shocked. I'm positively gob smacked. Flabbergasted I tell ya!

Not. 😉

@thedicemaster
Thanks for clearing that up! 👍

Does this collection have a switch 2 specific version? All I'm finding is a switch 1 physical copy on Amazon. Not that it really matters.

Why are people asking for a sequel when this game barely came out? Definitely on the fence with this one. It sounds cool though. Adding it to my wishlist.

Third person. Never much cared for first person. Always thought games where you're a floating gun looked weird and in some games it's hard to tell where you're trying to jump to like in platforming sections. For resident evil i just prefer to see my character.

Currently swapping my time with NG Ragebound and Shinobi. Not sure which is my favorite yet but it's pretty close.

Heck every Nintendo made switch 2 game has been called too expensive lately, they said it with Mario kart world, DK bonanza and now this. How did you people even manage to buy a switch 2 in the first place? 😲

For two of the best mario games or heck best video games of all time i'd say it's worth it. I remember buying super Nintendo games for 70 dollars.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant
Why does it seem like people who whine about the price of games are more on the Nintendo side than any other company?

I seldom hear any complaining when the latest call of duty comes out with some super special day one edition with all DLC included for 200 dollars or some crap. It's like people just wanna rag on Nintendo. How dare they make money!

Still waiting for the announcement that RE remakes are coming to switch 2. RE 2,3 and 4 must come!

Bring on Galaxy 3! Can't be a coincidence that the next mario movie is galaxy plus this collection just released.

Before anyone whines about the price consider this, buying both originally would've cost you over 120 dollars total. At 70 now it's like buying only one of the games back in the day. These are 4k versions with extra features not in the originals. Even the first game on mario 3D all stars for switch didn't look as good.

If you can't handle the price get out of gaming while you can. It's only gonna get worse every generation.

Remember when extra content was unlocked for free in game? Pepperidge farm Remembers.

@Orwellian87
Oh no you were almost a Jill sandwich! 😏
LOL corny but in a cool way. I do miss that about RE.

I'm just glad I can now be able to basically play nearly the whole series on switch 2 and it's legit not cloud. Hoping for re releases of RE 2 and RE3 and RE4 remakes. That'd be sweet!

Not sure what all a president of Nintendo does but good for her. Hope good things come of this. Wonder why Doug packed it in so soon. Oh well we'll see if Anything changes for the better.

I remember raging so hard at the snow world. Constantly falling off those ice platforms into the water. Plus I'm one of those completionist types so I wasn't satisfied unless I collected everything. This game was better than the first but surely had it's problems.

Still never played through 8. Better get on that I guess but at least switch 2 is getting legit versions of RE7 and 8. Finally no cloud crap. Nintendo gamers aren't be left behind with switch 2 and it's about damn time! Still there might be some catching up to do.

Still wondering if we're getting MGS 3 delta and Ninja Gaiden 4. I mean those should be possible right?

I was always curious about this one. I started with human revolution but never finished it. Heard the third game flopped for some reason. Not sure why. It seemed like people were hyped on it at the time. Must've had some problem cause they never made anymore.

Well free roam sounds like it's fixed. Now how about some DLC? People are saying mario kart 8 is better. You'd think they could improve it enough to sway people.

@Bunkerneath
Those people who didn't know Wii U was a new console still confuse me. I mean if you were into gaming in the first place how did you not know? Do some research or watch a video or something. As a gamer practically since birth i like to keep informed on what's new in gaming. I knew as soon as it was public information.

As for those prices yeah you tell em! OMG 80 dollars for a video game!?

Uh were you not hearing your parents back in the day refusing to buy you every game you wanted because of the prices? I sure didn't get every game i asked for unless maybe on Christmas or birthdays if I was lucky. Must've been nice to be a spoiled brat in the 90s. I wouldn't know.

At first I was like nope, never buying a key card game. Eventually I decided Meh whatever I'll be too old to care by the time these key cards no longer work. I mean digital downloads of games I already purchased on Wii are still available and that system stopped being relevant years ago.

Switch 2 just came out so don't know why anyone's worrying about the big nintendo online shutdown. We're talking several years from now if the servers even shut down at all.

Did they definitely say official versions and not cloud. Most likely key cards though. 🙁

I'll take what I can get though as long as they're not cloud versions.

@Boston_J

Honestly almost the whole direct has been underwhelming. Mario galaxy movie, new Galaxy collection, DK Bonanza DLC and RE 7,8 and 9 were the highlights. Oh and Metroid prime 4 release date reveal.

All I could say was why? Quit acting like virtual boy was some fondly remembered piece of gaming bliss. It wasn't. 🙁
