I absolutely love it. I've been through it about seven times now and cannot get enough. It just feels amazing to play and thankfully didn't fall into the trap of tacking on stuff to make it 'Modern'. Everything about it is meticulously thought out and designed. This for me is what modern throwback games should be. For me it's an easy 9/10. I think it's a shame that people are complaining about the price. This is a small studio handling a huuuge license. I applaud them. By a country mile the best thing these guys have ever done.

I remember a similar project being on KS some five or six years ago. It's a cool idea but that artwork is absolutely shocking.

@Quarbit Well yeah, they're not real people.

These games are mostly awful. Give us Tekken 1,2,3 colelction.

Yes, all the time.

@Luigia Shinobi is amazing, but I'm personally leaning towards Ninja Gaiden right now. Ninja Gaiden's levels are at times too long and become a little tedious, but it a much more direct game. Shinobi is essentially a Metroidvania. There is much exploration and goodies to find. I personally prefer a more 'arcade' approach. In fact I'd love to see Ninja Gaiden in an arcade style, just straight levels. Punchy, and to the point.

Imagine if you could actually freely and easily trade cards? That would be something. Trades make absolutely zero sense. Also the drop rate for cards has gotten terrible. I opened a new pack of a new set and got three identical cards. It's a laughable cash grab. However, the art is wonderful, the app runs brilliantly and battles are fun. But a trading card game with a horrible trading system is pointless.

What they should make is a Minecraft Dungeons game. So much more scope. Although I didn't think this film was terrible.

@Clammy Agreed. But, those game prices are starting to tumble. I saw SF6 for £32, and all others reduced by 10-15

This looks terrible. Best thing about it is the original arcade cabinet at the beginning.

O.k, now this is awesome. This is what more developers should be doing.

@SuntannedDuck2 The Genesis V.R was literally unplayable due to jerky framerate, but looked seriously cool. I know I would have been an instant buyer.

At this price it should also come with a replica controller. Those pads were very cool.

@Warioware Thery're actually pretty impressive. Best played on a meta Quest headset. This allows you to alter the colour and see the true vision of the system.

The VB was actually a really cool system, or rather idea, but the hardware of the time couldn't realise the vision. The best way to experience it is via a Meta Quest headset. However, I think that this is really cool. A crazy peripheral.

I literally forgot this existed.

@joey302 They were talking about it a couple of years ago. The arcade originals though, not the N64 jank.

@Erigen It's designed around it's adoption. It will be fine.

@ShadowRJ To show willing perhaps, like "hey, we here you guys". But, facts are if enough people start voting with their feet and not buying them, they will have no option but to stop making them.

It's a brilliant game, but I find the action is interrupted at times by the Kunoichi Sections. I wish you could play the game in it's entirety as her. She is far more fun then the Ninja, or at least in my opinion. What I would truly truly love is a modern game like this, but done in the original 8-bit style. A Mega Man 9/10 situation.

That 2600 is quite hideous, but the release of the latest 7800 pac man is fantastic news.

I'll obviously opt for the SW1 version then. No silly game card.

At this rate the switch is going to require an external harddrive solution. All these key cards will quickly kill even a 1TB card. If this is one, it must surely be 70-100 gig.

@SoIDecidedTo This game is nothing to do with Adventure. It already existed but without a publisher and Atari liked it's looks

How on earth is the PS5 the biggest console launch in France?

@MarkSeteth72 If you enjoy your racing games a bit slower and less exciting g all power to you.

It's not actually anything to do with it though, nor an Atari game. The game already existed and Atari felt that it fitted their vibe.

@MarkSeteth72 it literally is though.

Yes, RR was amazing for the time but it's so overhyped. It isn't fast or exciting, the engines sound weak and the handling just isn't what everyone makes out it is. There are so many superior arcade racers.

What a surprise, as will many other retailers. Sadly they just accept far more pre-orders than they can ever fulfill.

I really didn't care for the original, this at least visually looks much much better.

@DominionGamma it's 40

It's cool to see them releasing something that hasn't been available before and is actually pretty good, unlike much of the rubbish they pump out. But, the price is silly.

@ParrakerriRush How would you see art on the inside of the box through a solid clamshell?

@SalvorHardin They need to go back to basics. HD reboots of the first three. Or even a HD reboot of Mortal Kombat 360 version, that was an excellent version. I still don't understand why we don't have the arcade collection on modern systems. Surely a simple and lucrative port.

@Anti-Matter It's digital only.

Come on Zion, this isn't a question. It's ludicrous to even consider selling this.

@sixrings No. Hence why it says archives 2 and Switch 2.

@Theghostofkeithmoon Just buy the Japanese version, you won't have to wait six months for it either.

Complete waste of time unless you enjoy waiting six further months for your games. Japanese version is the way to go.

@Bocky I'm right there with you. Operation Wolf on 464 was fantastic for the time.

Obviously a launch title. Hence why it was scrapped and started over.

I'd love to see an app like this but only you have to collect NES and other system box art cards. Add in foils of characters etc. That would be awesome.

It looks phenomenal, I just hope it doesn't include the two continues and a couple of lives that these guys are known for. Just give everyone the option to turn that on or off.

@JohnnyMind Physical pre orders up on Amazon right now. Comes out in May.

@JohnnyMind I just browsed two articles randomly and saw that you posted the same response in both articles. Hence my question.

@JohnnyMind is this your standard answer?

Obviously a Switch 2 launch game and exclusive. No mystery here at all.

This game is amazing. Remember the fun days of trawling the XBOX 360 store and all-new Indie storefront? I spent many a late night downloading endless amounts of games, but mostly looking for shooters. I happened to find this new release one Friday night and struck absolute gold. I pray that someone makes a physical version. this game needs preserving.

@john_lennon999 Just play Nam 1975, it's far superior.
