Treasure don't exist anymore do they? It's literally more of a licensing company. All of the programmers that created the classics are nothing to do with it anymore. Just give us a RSG switch port physical.

@Tom-Massey The game is what it is. I love beat-em-ups, I've enjoyed it, but not as much as I would of liked to, or could of with just a couple of extra continues. The A.I needs rebalancing across several characters, but if that were perfect you could argue that the one credit was a valid option, but it isn't. I don't think the game is short, I think it runs at a near perfect length, I'm of the opinion that most beat-em-ups far outstay their welcome for the most part, the TMNT is a prime example. It's undoubtedly fun, but those final levels begin to drag.

@Benny504 I think people are generally really busy these days and sadly just don't have the time to dedicate to learning games. People just want to turn a game on, jump in and have fun. Not adding that as an option from the get go is an oversight and one that lots of people clearly felt the same about. The facts are that if they had chosen to use the one credit as a tool to market and sell the game, which would be completely valid as it's the one thing that the entire game centres around, very few people would of bothered pre-ordering it. I respect a designers vision, but now they are simply adding what should of been from the start and they're received obviously unwanted backlash that has hampered the launch of their new game. That's just poor judgement.

@sdelfin Due to the backlash they are now implementing a credit system. This should of ben there from release and was a silly choice.

@Tom-Massey I think giving your customers the lack of choice is a huge oversight. The same thing was carried out with Battleaxe and the same remarks were made about that. I played the game with a couple of friends who aren't dedicated gamers and who don't own it or have the time to learn it. We just wanted to jump in and have some fun, just like you can with every other beat-em-up. It doesn't harm a designers game plan to allow players to choose how they wish to play it, it only servers to alienate. And from the massive backlash and the fact that they are now implementing a credit option, this was nothing more than a poor decision.

@OldManHermit It feels like they sent the wrong rom to the printing house. It could be brilliant with some adjustment, and I hope they take the criticism onboard and do just that.

@Savino Which in itself is a ridiculous way in which to release a game you would assume they hope to have mass appeal.

@OldManHermit It doesn't really play that well though. Te wrestler may as well not exist, he is utterly pointless. You can carry out a flying kick and just get punched out the air? what's the point then. The one credit is the absolute nail in the coffin. A massive disappointment.

@sdelfin 100000000000% agree. it's stupid and entirely ignorant for a developer to force a one credit mode upon you. make it selectable, sure. The most hilarious thing is that if you beat the arcade mode, which you likely wont, you then unlock a 'challenge' mode ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

@BlueGBAMicro it's hugely disappointing all round. I wish i hadn't bought it in the state it's currently in.

I hate to say it but I've never been so underwhelmed by a game I had anticipated so much. It feels completely unfinished. I'm a big fan of both developers, but this just isn't it. Allowing one credit without any option to alter that is frankly ridiculous, and insulting. The A.I is completely unbalanced and cheap, even on easy. The wrestler character may as well not exist, he's too slow, not powerful enough, has terrible attack animations and gets completely overwhelmed instantly. There isn't enough enemy variety, in the lift section of level three you are surrounded by six of the same character only with colour swaps. Setting it within London is a great idea, only you have no idea that's where it's meant to be. The levels don't even have names or area titles. A huge disappointment all-round and though it pains me to say it, i wouldn't waste your money on it at this point. They took this out the over way too early.

I'm so happy this turned out to be good, it looked really interesting from the first trailer. Reminds me of Suda51.

This is the epitome of stupidity. Games I understand, music, no that is beyond silly.

@Bret Ha Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, so true!

I really like the premise, but it looks bad. It's neither Atari styled pixels, or just good pixel art. Overall it looks cheap and like nobody cared about making it.

@Serpenterror I'm not sure about lazy seeing as they spent a further two years working on it than all the other ports. To me that just says it couldn't be done.

This cannot be surprising to anyone. I honestly don't know how it will run on the switch, the first one barely did, and it looked nowhere near as good as this one.

@ReaperMelia It's based on the assumption that you're not going to buy them all. I agree there are definitely better choices that could be made here.

@Zenszulu So why not include a SFC version, seeing as it's prohibitively expensive?

I hope they say " and capcom stadium 2 is available right now"

This is great news, but why the awful N/A carts only?

@The_BAAD_Man It's coming to switch, so yeh.

What they should release is a create your own arcade from all namco titles, similar to the one on 360 years ago. Purchase packs and stroll around your own virtual space.

@jrt87 I think you're wrong. It probably doesn't have a place in this game, but other online games that allow you to make money will continue to become huge, for that very reason. It's an extension of esports, but only one that is accessible to anyone with the talent.

official themes song of what?

These look like somebody created them from other figures. God awful looking.

@NintendoJunkie Nah, but it will be incredible I guarantee.

@BanjoPickles I'd just like to see some good games from the '80s and '90s, instead of the cheapest licenses to obtain.

WHY WHY WHY WHY.............UTTER WASTE OF A RELEASE

@Miyamotosan How do you feel about all the ones in landfill?

@NintendoJunkie The reviews are going to be excellent. Go buy one.

@Lawman Actually, what? I said, "it's the closest thing to the WWF arcade titles". You then ACTUALLY decided to tell me about games that they worked on that, I had just referenced. Try reading before preaching, you'll look less silly.

@BTB20 sorry, I now understand the distinction.

How is it undergoing maintenance, it closed down two years ago ???

@Teksetter It's available from everywhere, just in case you wanted to play it this year.

@CharlieGirl it's a wrestling game.

HYBRID WRESTLER IS MAZING! and the closest thing to the WWF arcade titles by technos. An incredibly deep move set and each characters is different. Street fights, balcony fights, scaffold. Absolutely the best 16-bit wrestler out there.

@Fizza It's an NES game, not NES inspired.

@NinChocolate I wholeheartedly agree with everything you say. I think the problem is, and as silly as it it is, is that companies like Nintendo feel they have to continually innovate, as to not appear as though they are being lazy. F-Zero is a racing game, that's all it needs to be. It's when they 'Innovate' like they have done with Starfox in the past that it all goes wrong. it doesn't need fixing.

We don't need or want, clever or unique. It's F-Zero, fast, fun, racing. Just make us a game ALREADY!!!

@daveMcFlave Yep, me too. I have heard absolutely zero on anything new happening though since they opened the floodgates, which is now at least six months ago. Although aren't they now supposedly making a new Castlevania? from the success of all the indie inspired games you'd think that they'd of jumped on this long ago. Like most big developers of the era, they are sat on a goldmine of incredible stuff, and we mere mortals are stood at the gates waving our cash to no avail. The cowabunga colelction is going to print money and hopefully begins a new line of collections, an arcade one would be amazing, but featuring their really good games that have never released before.

@ShadowofTwilight22 they've already opened their door for anyone to develop any of their franchises.

cannot wait to receive my NES version.

There are robots in Animal crossing????

this has been on Switch for about two years, and it's absolutely dreadful.

@Serpenterror Nahhhhhhhh SUPERSTARS is what you want.

this looks fantastic, game play looks kinda arcadey and reminiscent of the 64's best. Lighting and switching camera views are also really good. I don't see this ever running on the Switch however, or if it did, not well. The switch is fantastic, but ultimately old and weak and we all know it.

Looks really good, but I just cannot see the switch version being any good. the first game was delayed for over a year whilst they tried to get it to run. this game is way more advanced than that one.

@ralphdibny It is getting a release everywhere, amazon already has a listing. Belt Action compilation will never release again.

Hmmmmm...it's currently on sale, this could be the time to pounce. Sounds like some of the things that make it rubbish have been altered a little.
