Considering buying these individually would add up to $100+ CAD, this is a no-brainer for me.
Metal Black and Gun Frontier are excellent, Dino REX is an incredibly rare game and a long time coming, and Darius II 3-screen has never been released on console before.
I'm a longtime Bayonetta superfan, bought the original game no less than FOUR times, bought the anime, and own every title on almost every platform and I have absolutely ZERO, I mean ZERO interest in this game.
I hope the series gets back on track with the next entry after how disappointing 3 was. This just seems... like it has nothing to do with Bayonetta.
No F-Zero No Star Fox One Mario game One Zelda game (thats actually a Wii U game) No original Mario Kart A bunch of lame kirby games (sorry kirby fans) Some weird games as a service stuff and then PORTS from console that had BETTER libraries.
The only reason you'd pick switch is if you never had a Nintendo console before. It's most warmed over ports of old games at full price.
I didn't expected NintendoLife to have one of the lowest review scores for the game I've seen.
Oh well, I already pre ordered on ps4 and I'm still excited to try the game. It's always hard to take reviews as a whole when they tend to contradict each other. Different strokes for different folks, I guess?
Honestly the open ended levels were the weakest parts of the game. I play Bayonetta to enjoy the high octane action and fighting, not to wander aimlessly and search for secrets.
I don't know why Platinum thought this was a good idea... Trend chasing I guess?
Isn't it a bit odd to not mention the 5 frames of input lag this version has over the original release? That's pretty important info to share in a review!
This is a complaint I see from people who don't understand that arcade games are played for 1ccs and high score runs. If you just credit feed every time you die then yeah, sure, it's "short" but you're not really playing the intended way and you're getting low scores...
@Bkirchhoff There is but like previous WayForward LRG CEs the code comes on the day the game releases via email. You dont get it right now before launch.

Re: M2's 'Kyukyoku Tiger-Heli Collection' For Switch Has Been Rated By The ESRB
I'll just buy from Japan. Not interested in waiting 16 months for the game.
Re: Soapbox: For This First-Timer, Summer Game Fest Felt Like A Perfect E3 Antidote
I preferred Guerilla Collective since the games were more unique, but summer games fest was ok
Re: Taito Milestones 2 Collects Even More Arcade Archives Titles On Switch This August
Considering buying these individually would add up to $100+ CAD, this is a no-brainer for me.
Metal Black and Gun Frontier are excellent, Dino REX is an incredibly rare game and a long time coming, and Darius II 3-screen has never been released on console before.
The rest is icing on the cake!
Re: RayStorm X RayCrisis HD Collection Brings Two Taito Shmup Masterpieces To Switch
@Doctor-Moo Its not coming until June at the earliest.
But yeah, the SLG collection is better. Not having RayForce is a real detriment. It's the best game in the collection!
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Franchise Should Illumination Tackle Next?
none, i'm good thank you!

Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Console Has The Best First-Party Games Lineup?
Switch is weakest by a country mile.
No F-Zero
No Star Fox
One Mario game
One Zelda game (thats actually a Wii U game)
No original Mario Kart
A bunch of lame kirby games (sorry kirby fans)
Some weird games as a service stuff
and then PORTS from console that had BETTER libraries.

Re: Review: Tales of Symphonia Remastered - A GameCube Classic That Shows Its Age On Switch
sounds like if I want to revisit this one I'm better off with the original GCN version...
Re: Taito's Action Platformer 'The NewZealand Story' Is This Week's Arcade Archives Game
@CharlieGirl the save state deletes itself if you finish the game. You're also forced into it on boot up.
It's not a real save state IMO.
Re: Toplan's Arcade Bullet Hell 'Batsugun' Has Been Rated For Switch
I got excited and then saw it's an "S-Tribute" version and not M2...
I'll just wait for M2. Playing Batsugun wtih 6 frames of input lag is a nightmare.
Re: Review: Drainus - A Spectacular, Showboating Tour De Force For Sci-Fi Shmup Fans
Waiting on my physical copy!
I'm a pretty seasoned shmup player so it being easy is concerning, but the occasional breezy playthrough should still be fun!
Re: Taito's Action Platformer The NewZealand Story Is This Week's Arcade Archives Game
@SpringDivorce I mean, 40 games with a dedicated machine and 4 save state slots is pretty good (ACA games dont even have save states)
Re: Bayonetta 3 Version 1.2.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Unfortunately the game will still be pretty bad because the level design and camera were AWFUL, but some of these changes are improvements.
However, most of these should've been there day one.
Making nifflheim easier is bunk, though.
Re: Classic Taito Games Get Enhanced Re-Releases On Switch In February
The ACA release of Metal Black is superior, cheaper, and out now. Previous s-tribute releases had pretty beefy input lag.
Re: Taito Corporation Preparing For 70th Anniversary Celebrations In 2023
An actually new Darius game would be incredible

Re: "We Could Make Nine Of Them" - Hideki Kamiya Doesn't Think Bayonetta Will End
Is that a threat?
Re: Mini Review: Jitsu Squad - A Joyous Love Letter To '90s Capcom, Held Back By Technical Issues
@Jey887
It has tons of frames of animation, enemies, and VFX. I could see it easily taxing the Switch.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Shares 'Making The Music' Video
This doesn't seem useful for a Nintendo website...?
Re: Review: Sonic Frontiers - A Bold But Ultimately Failed Attempt At Something New
I didn't expected NintendoLife to have one of the lowest review scores for the game I've seen.

Re: Konami's Arcade Classics Receiving Limited Run Switch Physical Release, Pre-Orders Open This Week
@SteamEngenius these games aren't worth 10 cents. They've got more value than your modern AAA game IMO.
Re: Random: Bayonetta 3 Was Reportedly Planned To Be An Open-World Game
Honestly the open ended levels were the weakest parts of the game. I play Bayonetta to enjoy the high octane action and fighting, not to wander aimlessly and search for secrets.
I don't know why Platinum thought this was a good idea... Trend chasing I guess?
Re: Arcade-Style Shmup 'Sophstar' Locks In Physical Release On Switch
I've heard really good things about this one.
Re: It's Official, Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Won't Be Returning For The Third Outing
Very disappointing and no good reason is given. It was not Helena's choice, she said as much on twitter.
Re: Review: Radiant Silvergun - A Superb Shmup That's Still One Of The Very Best
Isn't it a bit odd to not mention the 5 frames of input lag this version has over the original release? That's pretty important info to share in a review!
Re: Best Pokémon-Likes On Nintendo Switch - Games To Play After You've Finished Pokémon
Surprised there's no Monster Rancher!
Re: Feature: Takashi Iizuka, Head Of Sonic Team, Speaks About Sonic Origins, Sprites, And Future Plans
That's such a BS response about Sonic 3's music lmao
Re: Poll: Which Dormant Capcom Franchise Would You Like To See Return?
Tatsunoko vs Capcom is my #1
Followed by Progear and Tech Romancer
Re: Poll: What's The Best Warriors Game On Switch?
Dynasty warriors 8 Xtreme Legends is supposed to be really good. Why isn't it on the list?
Re: Soapbox: Please, Please, Please Release Sonic Advance Trilogy On Nintendo Switch Online
I'd much prefer remasters to subscription-based ROM dumps. They need expanded views a la the Sonic genesis remasters (widescreen).
Re: Review: The House Of The Dead: Remake - Control Issues Gnaw At Sega's Arcade Classic
"It's still a very short game"
This is a complaint I see from people who don't understand that arcade games are played for 1ccs and high score runs. If you just credit feed every time you die then yeah, sure, it's "short" but you're not really playing the intended way and you're getting low scores...
Re: Gigapocalypse Will Bring 'Rampage'-Inspired Mayhem To Switch Soon
I pick up anything with kaiju, so I'll add this to the list!
Not sure I quite understand how it plays, but I like big monsters!
Re: Heart Machine Reveals Open-World Hyper Light Drifter Sequel, 'Hyper Light Breaker'
I thought the trend of "show a trailer without gameplay" was only a AAA thing.
Kinda disappointing to see it in the "indie" sphere too. Though I guess this isn't indie anyways?

Re: Dead Funny Bullet Hell 'Restless Soul' Looks Like A Pixelated Paper Mario
I came here expecting a shmup.
Do people use the word "bullet hell" to describe games that aren't Shmups now?
Re: 10 Of The Best Nintendo Switch Soundtracks
Was hoping for at least one game that wasn't a shoe in hyper popular million seller. :/
Re: Review: Dawn Of The Monsters - Superior Co-Op Kaiju Combat With Pacific Rim Vibes
EXCELLENT use of the word 'Brobdingnagian'!
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th March (North America)
Dawn has been out since tuesday, will NintendoLife review it? So far its been getting really positive buzz.
Re: Feature: We Talked To The Godzilla-Obsessed Devs Of Kaiju Co-Op Beat-'Em-up, Dawn Of The Monsters
@Bkirchhoff There is but like previous WayForward LRG CEs the code comes on the day the game releases via email. You dont get it right now before launch.
Re: Feature: We Talked To The Godzilla-Obsessed Devs Of Kaiju Co-Op Beat-'Em-up, Dawn Of The Monsters
@Lord lmao the European rating symbols are way, way worse!
That's funny. Over here you can trade and sell any version of any game anywhere- no problem!
Re: Feature: We Talked To The Godzilla-Obsessed Devs Of Kaiju Co-Op Beat-'Em-up, Dawn Of The Monsters
@Lord the LRG release is region-free and ships worldwide!

Re: Review: Sol Cresta - PlatinumGames' Intriguing Shmup Doesn't Do Enough To Stand Out
Given how negative the review sounded, I'm surprised it got so high a score!
Re: PlatinumGames' Sol Cresta Is Receiving A Limited Run Physical Release On Switch
$50 physical? $40 digital??
What the heck is going on here?
Re: Namco's 'Dangerous Seed' Is Coming To Switch Later This Month
The SEGA Genesis version has a WAY better soundtrack.
Re: Talking Point: What Could NFTs Mean For Gaming, And Why Are They So Divisive?
NFTs take something that can be free and open, and make it limited and scarce.
They are fundamentally useless and an artificial way to make digital spaces worse.
Re: Capcom Is Adding Screen Filters To The PC Version Of Monster Hunter Rise
I highly doubt the Switch GPU can handle this...
