I orders Ray’z and Steel so long ago that I sometimes forget I even did!! It’s absolutely ridiculous now that it’s coming up on a year and a half for Ray’z!! There’s quite a few SLG games I could’ve ordered but passed up because this situation has made me very hesitant to order from them until my 2023 orders are in hand! While I understand the covid difficulties and etc etc, we’ve all been through Covid but that was 2020 this is 2025. And somehow Limited Run has managed to stay under a 6 month wait, at least for me.
Quick! One of you gaming companies that cares about game preservation please snap up all the Midway/Atari Games classic arcade games they own before it’s too late!!!!
@Migoshuro I agree- FEAR was such an incredible franchise idk why the hell they didn’t bring it back! Warner Bros has no idea what they’re doing! It’s like Atari early 1980s all over again!
So we’re getting the ARCADE & NES Operation Wolf versions? As long as the arcade version is included I’m In day 1. Also have a feeling we’ll eventually see these as individual Hamster releases who have put out quite a few Taito games already.
@Antraxx777 I didn’t say I went to one but you don’t have to be a genius to understand WHAT THAT WOULD BE LIKE & what I was getting at?? Cmon now. And it’s just a little daytime humor Houston! I see NL removed my comment too funny and that’s fine. But CERTAINLY Nintendo can be doing WAY better than this crud!
Been a big Atari fan since the 2600 was under my Xmas tree Christmas morning 1978! It was mind blowing! I was 12 and instantly hooked! Anyway, I think Wade is doing a hell of a job with the company now. Atari 50 is amazing and several recharge games are very cool. Then the 2600+ And now the 7800+ with a lineup of new games! Also great moves acquiring Night Dive, digital eclipse, the Intellivision brand and games, and most of all imo, the acquisition of Atari Age giving them an avenue of tons of 2600 and 7800 homebrew games to republish on the plus systems like they’ve already done! So keep going Atari and MORE 7800 GAMES PLEASE!! 😊
I’ve been saying for years the switch eshop is a horrible navigational mess! The most important thing Nintendo needs to address with Switch 2 is the eshop! Hell even the Wii U eshop is better!
@OorWullie HOPEFULLY!! of course I failed to mention I’ve been seeing articles lately regarding Sega considering a subscription based service for its classic IP. Hope not though ☹️
@OorWullie omg that would be so amazing! Sega really frustrates me with the ton of arcade classics they own but do nothing with! I was so upset when they pulled the plug on the Sega Ages lineup! There’s no limits on what they can do. Hopefully delisting all these classic games recently will lead to something big!! 🙏
@DwaynesGames lol that’s hilarious! Totally understand what you’re saying but those 400 hamster titles hit Switch over an almost 8 year span so it’s not like we’re laying out $3200 in one shot. And while I buy a ton of them, there’s also a ton I have little to no interest in. Lastly, even though it’s not as often as we’d all like, there’s the occasional Hamster sale which I always look out for. 😊
@Truegamer79 well said & couldn’t agree more! Nintendo is the absolute worst with legacy content and maybe one day will see titles from GameCube and Wii? Even the older consoles the NSO games are posted at a snails pace and it’s a regular yawning festival. No purchase option is the salt in the wound. They’re so quick to go after hackers and pirates but have they stopped to ask themselves why?? And I refuse to upgrade my sub to add Genesis and N64 it’s just insulting!!
I also mentally hug my 5 modded nes/snes minis, my 4 Modded Genesis minis all modded with 6-8000 games each & my 3 OG Xbox modded systems modded with tens of thousands of games each because I could never and still refuse to wait on Nintendo! I’m long tired of it now from back in the Wii U days & I’ll be long dead by the time they finally get up to speed! 😆 🤷♂️☺️ thank goodness for Hamster, Atari, Sega, Namco and the loads of other classic games available on the eshop OUTSIDE of this crappy subscription service!
Well doesn’t that just stink?? Besides the lack of adding additional & more recent consoles like GameCube or Wii, the service still lacks purchase options for games you might want to “own”.
The monthly subscription we all have with Apple certainly doesn’t prevent you from making music or movie purchases so how about it Nintendo?? PLEASE ADD AN OPTION TO PURCHASE GAMES!! IF NOT NOW THEN WITH SWITCH 2! thanks 🙏
Hamster is the best!! And thank goodness the whole lineup is on PS4 as well! However I am disappointed this same lineup is NOT on Xbox!! Strangely enough, Xbox only has the Neo Geo titles available. I Wonder why?
Classic games no doubt but still a Zzzzz for me. Maybe one day when Switch 5 comes out we’ll see classic Cube and Wii games hit??? 🙄🙄 Heck even Wii U had some Wii games!!
Thank god! Now I can buy more games with confidence! Now please increase the internal memory I mean 64G for the OLED only, is just silly! Yes I’m aware of the SD cards that go up to 1.5TB but just saying. Oh- and can we somehow improve the eshop?? It’s so horrible to browse!! The lag is just terrible!
Both games look like great fun - is there a physical copy coming?? Also I did take a Quick Look in the switch store and thought these were DLC’s of another game? which I can’t remember which game it was.
And hopefully Wade is reaching out to Activision or Microsoft about the 2600 titles! There are some REAL gems there gameplay that has stood the test of time today! River Raid Stampede Pitfall I&II Megamania Keystone Kapers Kaboom! Enduro Barnstorming Starmaster Crackpots I still play some of these today!! I got my 20 year old son hooked on Kaboom lol 😆
@CC13 Marble Madness Joust Defender Robotron 2084 Paperboy Gauntlet 1&2 Xybots Planet of the robot monsters Hydro Thunder San Francisco Rush Rampage Tapper Toobin Vindicatiors part II Wizard of war And many more All Owned by Warner Bros and sorely missing from current gen consoles! I sometimes wish Hamster would get hold of them somehow!
Berzerk 5200! Frenzy! Nice 👍 a bit disappointed no 7800, Jag or Atari 800/XE games though. Hopefully next round. Also would like to see some Intellivision games like Astrosmash! Keep it going Atari!
I agree with everyone who mentioned the 2600 Activision library that would be absolutely amazing!! But I’m not being hopeful here. We will probably see some Intellivision/M Network games added first being Atari recently acquired that library of games. Atari has been very proactive lately so I’m sure discussions are being had about reaching out to Microsoft and Activision! 🙏
@YoshiAngemon as sweet as that would be I don’t see that happening with Bentley Bear being the pack in cart for the 7800+ coming out in November and also will be sold separately as well for $30.00. So I’d be very surprised if it was Included in this update.
Good thing I own like 10 of them - 3 of them modded with 7500 games each! They’re packed with classics!! Incredible!! Hope they hold out for years to come!! 🙏🙏
Good thing for region free! Hopefully we get a western release though. Would be Nice to be able to have these classics physically! Hamster collections next!!!
Man Atari is really making some moves! You have to give credit to Wade and the gang for the retro direction they’ve taken. I just preordered my 7800+ and a few new 7800 games never available before. Some were homebrews that Atari just happens to own the IP. The Atari age purchase made that possible & that move is coming to fruition. And buying Digital Eclipse was a slick move too when your focus is retro. Been a huge Atari fan since my 2600 was under my Xmas tree Christmas 1978!! Jaguar+ system next PLEASE!! 😁
I mean there’s over 4,000 games available on the Switch eshop! What kind of sales numbers is he looking for?? There’s no physical option either. It’s a classic indie game but there’s just too many other similar or even better games available to play. And at $20 being too high imo perhaps he should consider a sale or permanent price reduction?? 10 bucks tops.
Although it’s been mentioned above, the Taito Legends collections blew these away! I still have both volumes on PS2 and every so often I pop one into my fat PS3! And both collections were packed with around 65 games and were $30 each! I think part of the greed here is Square Enix who owns Taito and has experienced losses the last few years. But $40 bucks for milestones is insulting! Cmon
