While I'm skeptical of this game, Turok has been around long before the N64 games and the original comics are very different from the comics the games are based on. The first comics featuring Turok came out in the 50s.

Isn't this the same company that made SNES carts that had the possibility of catching fire on real systems?

It looks like this adapter is made by Brook (they use that lizard icon), which specializes in controller converters. http://www.brookaccessory.com/product/

@RyanSilberman Arcade Archives used the AC Vs. Excitebike, but labelled it as "Excitebike" because the title screen just says Excitebike. Vs. Excitebike was later ported to the FDS with extra features. The Famicom Switch Online service already has a few FDS games and the NES service has SMB2J aka Lost Levels, which is a FDS game.

Vs. Excitebike FDS is based off the arcade tracks, but has in game music, a 2 player Vs. mode, and the ability to edit tracks for the Vs. mode.

This looks very similar to the Mayflash F300.

@Azathoth Most are available on the US PSN as stand alone releases. As far as I know, Thunder Cross is the only AA Konami game only on the JP PSN. Unlike the collection releases, a few the stand alone games have multiple versions available. The stand alone US Life Force has Salamander, JP Life Force, and US Life Force.

Japan doesn't get their version of Life Force for the JP version of the Collection. They get the original Salamander version, which has pick ups instead of the Gradius style power up bar (which is only in the JP Life Force).

It looks like the Japanese Punch Out is the gold cart prize version that ends with Super Macho Man. No dream match or Another World Circuit in that version.

Not sure why Yie Ar Kung Fu isn't being brought over. It don't have much in the way of text and what little of it there is already in English.

@NinChocolate ACA NeoGeo Puzzle Bobble 2 came out today on the US eShop, but the press release didn't list it (this has been going on for awhile. Don't rely on Nintendolife for US eshop ACA releases). I noticed Keen Dreams on the eShop too, which also isn't listed.

I'll be getting Bomb Jack, which is this week's Arcade Archives release. I wish these articles weren't just a copy and paste of the press releases.

@StephenYap3 Mega Drive version of Puyo Puyo Tsuu is bare bones and very similar to the AC version (AC version is on MD based hardware). If I remember correctly, it doesn't even have a practice mode (just single player and vs). I prefer the AC over it since it has better voice samples.

If you want a version with more modes, the SNES remix version has 4p modes,a practice mode, and a hard course. MD only has tower (single player) and vs.

DK Jr. was here last Friday. The press releases are usually a week late with Arcade Archives games.

Odd that Johnny Turbo is in it.

I checked Nintendo's JP website and Japan is getting their Adventures of Lolo, which is based of our Adventures of Lolo II, but with a different set of puzzles.

Twinkle Star Sprites! (not listed, but comes out today on US eShop)

I wonder what the JP famicom version is getting instead of the US Adventures of Lolo. The US Lolo didn't come out in Japan and is a compilation of levels from the Eggerland games. The JP Adventures of Lolo is based off the US Lolo II, but with a different level set. The are a few JP only Lolo related games in the Eggerland series.

I bought Arcade Archives Route 16, which should have been listed on this page, but isn't. Early Sunsoft! Plays like a combo of Venture and Rally-X.

I don't need to pretend, I already bought it from the JP eshop. It has the new tunes from the 3DS version along with some other added tunes, including a new version of Step on Beat!

One again, the ACA Neogeo game (King of the Monsters 2) that should have also been on the NA list is only listed here. NoA, fix your press releases!

Please edit this article to show this week's Arcade Archives and ACA NeoGeo games. ACA NeoGeo Thrash Rally came to the US eShop. Arcade Archives Urban Champion is on the JP eShop and I would like to know if it's arriving in the US tomorrow.

Why does this article only list the EU eShop? It's on the NA eShop too!

3 Count Bout came out last week, not this week. This weeks Arcade Archives are Ninja Kid II and ACA NeoGeo Strikers 1945 Plus. For some odd reason, the US press releases only list last week's Arcade Archives games.

Arcade Archives Ninja Kid II and ACA NeoGeo Strikers 1945 Plus were also released today on the US eShop. This time they aren't even listed in the EU update.

I wish SEGA would say when the next Sega Ages release is coming.

Nintendolife, please stop listing last weeks Arcade Archives releases and list this weeks instead. ACA NeoGeo Zupapa! came to the US eShop today.

@KingMike Arcade Archives Excitebike, ACA NeoGeo Cyber-Lip Sega Ages Lightening Force, and Sega Ages Sonic the Hedgehog, were actually released in US last week (latter three on Thursday, Excitebike on Friday), but the press releases on various sites don't announce them until the week after they were released for the US. Nintendolife and other sites haven't corrected this error and now the trend is continuing for Sega Ages. ugh.

@SmilesSmiles Sega Ages are on the eShop in the US and Vs. Excitebike is coming tomorrow. For some odd reason, the press releases are a week behind schedule on Arcade Archives (don't worry, they are still arriving the same week in US as everywhere else on Switch) and it looks like the trend is continuing with Sega Ages. Have no idea why the pages aren't being updated properly to acknowledge the correct US Arcade Archives dates before the week after they come out.

@Moroboshi876 The post you quoted said the FDS version was never re-released in any format, so I was pointing out otherwise. I was not claiming that the Hamster Arcade Archives was the FDS version.

@Moroboshi876 The FDS version of Vs. Excitebike was released on the Wii U Virtual Console.

I bought Sonic and TFIV off the JP eShop. They both have menus in English, but the page for the manual is only a test page.

"Cursed Castilla (known as Maldita Castilla in North America)"-No. The console and Steam versions of Maldita Castilla are known as Cursed Castilla here in NA too.

This is the arcade version of Vs. Excitebike, which means no in game music (though it does have music in the same places as the original NES cart) and no edit mode.

@PhilKenSebben As far as I can tell, they aren't even out in Japan yet. I tried searching the JP eShop and couldn't find them. They aren't listed on the coming soon page either.

Please stop listing things that came out last week. The two Arcade Arcade archives games, Metal Slug 4 and that hole digging game with the odd title came out today in the US as well as Europe, but they are only listed on the EU page. Please edit the page and stop waiting until next week to post this week's releases.

Not sure why some things on the EU Nintendo Download page are saved for next week's US page on NL when they came out this week.

Nintendo did announce that more Vs games are coming before Sky Skipper was announced.

Oddly enough, Popeye did get a cell phone port that was published by Namco. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=popeye+cell+phone&&view=detail&mid=6489A8D8DD92924F3FB86489A8D8DD92924F3FB8&&FORM=VRDGAR

It's funny how this game got an Atari 2600 conversion that ended up being more common than the arcade game itself.

The Power A switch case went on sale for about 21 dollars. I also ordered a couple criterion moves since they were cheaper than on barnes and noble with the extra 20 percent off.

"Kimishima stated that Nintendo will reveal more about its full 2018 lineup at the appropriate time"-I miss the days when E3 was the appropriate time.

Team tako!

@sixrings I was asking since it's not mentioned often and I wasn't sure if it was fixed. No need to be rude or make unwarranted accusations. Not to mention that framerate is something that affects gameplay.

I heard that the switch version of Pac-Man CE2 has framerate drops?

I didn't make any arguments about why the AC version is harder, but I read posts elsewhere like the AtariAge forums that mention the AC version is more random than the NES version and has more enemies on screen. Where is the review anyway? The Nintendolife review didn't say anything about DK original edition being harder.

You misread my post, as well. The mention of how high can you get and other stuff was becuase you claimed that the NES version is the same as the arcade, despite how many sites that come up on google show just the opposite.

TCRF mentions that DK original edition is just a hacked nes ROM. https://tcrf.net/Donkey_Kong_(NES)

The Nintendolife review of Arcade Archives Donkey Kong says that "The difficulty is also greater than on the NES with flames appearing faster and you becoming overwhelmed with barrels sooner", not that the NES difficulty is greater.

@GameOtaku That's incorrect. The NES port is different from the AC version and even added the pie level isn't arcade exact. Donkey Kong Original Edition is nothing more than a hack of the NES game with the pie level added and added DK ladder climbing animations at the end of the level. It doesn't even have the "How High Can You Get?" screens. I don't get this "if you read the review" business. Just because a review incorrectly states that the NES DK is harder than the arcade doesn't make it right.

Also, what you said about DK Land doesn't make much sense to me. They have shortcomings compared to the SNES games and there's nothing wrong with not liking them as much as the SNES games.

The DK with Layton 3ds for a limited time was a hacked NES rom to add the pie level. It still differs from the arcade version.

Excited for sky skipper coming to arcade archives. I'm interested in the story behind the Atari 2600 version. Very odd how a game with a limited release got a 2600 conversion.

e3 is supposed to be a platform for announcements, but lately it seems to be the platform for "nothing to announce right now".

@BionicDodo Nazca was also the developer of the original Metal Slug, so I doubt that's the reason for Neo Turf Masters not being included. It also had a recent ACA NeoGeo release.
