As I mentioned back in June, a very odd underwhelming and worse yet, small collection with many HUGE Taito games missing! And publisher ININ is always quick with the hefty price point- I’m sure this will clock in at $40 which is ridiculous. Now if the lineup was 20-30 tiles big I’d consider this. Oh well.
@JRJalapeno yes! I have the Vita and Minters tempest like masterpiece. Tempest 4000 from Atari on PS4 & Xbox not too shabby either if you haven’t checked that out. Yes I wish Warner Bros would do something with this treasure chest of classics already and bring them to Switch!
@JRJalapeno omg I would almost KILL to have Robotron 2084 on switch!! Or any Atari Games/Midway Arcade classic for that matter! Big glaring omission from the switch retro library!
Would love to have seen Ms Pac- man Maze Madness (loved it on Dreamcast) but being the original Ms Pac is missing I guess I’m reaching here. 🤷♂️ Still interested in this collection regardless.
You really have to give Hamster it’s due credit with the classic lineup of arcade games they’ve managed to supply us and WE CAN PURCHASE THEM NINTENDO! Meanwhile Xbox BC program is just awesome. It’s so great and convenient to have your past digital purchases brought forward to current gen consoles & NOT have to buy them over again!! While I’m glad Sony gave us ps4 games on ps5, I WAS disappointed that PS3 , 2 & psone games didn’t make it! That would’ve been unbelievable!!
I loved my Dreamcast so much! A huge Sega fan from the day I brought home a Master System, I was so crushed that Sega threw in the towel after DC. I thought DC would really bring Sega back to a competitive level with Sony but we all know how that went. I still wish Sega of today was the old Sega making amazing games one after the other!
By far the switch eshop is the worst digital platform to shop. Slow as molasses, always locking up every 10 seconds, it’s complete torture. And the weekly 1000+ games on sale is just ridiculous to even try & navigate when you get a long way down and the eshop goes blank, resets itself and forces you back to the top of the sales list to start over again?? You think it would put you back where you were?? Ughhh!! Makes me power up my Series X instead, easily the most convenient & easiest to navigate of the 3 console digital shops 🤬😡 Hell even the Wii U eshop has a better layout than the switch shop!
Good news! Great shooter!! Still have the original Genesis game in mint condition too! Btw is it me or is Greylancer hard as hell!! Or….maybe I don’t have the reflexes I used to lol
That’s just moronic. What the hell was he or she thinking?? I got Coronavirus aid too for the business and watch every nickel I spend it on to make sure it’s eligible.
Wow with all their billions you’d think and maybe even expect Rockstar to spend the money and invest into 32G cards for this special release!! Hopefully at least 2 of the 3 games will be on the card but still that just sucks! 🤬
@Teksetter I agree totally lol. Money talks as they say lol. Problem is corporate entities forget what assets come along with their acquisition/s a la Warner Bros with the Midway/Atari Games classic arcade games, which stinks cause there’s tons of good ones! Thank goodness I can play the Midway Arcade Origins collection on my Xbox one/Series X (no thanks to you Sony) lol
I’m not doing the NSO upgrade and this is coming from a Sega Genesis freak!! Not only do I own 400+ original Genesis games, I also have a modded Genesis mini with 7000 games including the entire Genesis library along with a modded NES & Snes mini and a modded original Xbox loaded with complete console libraries to the gills! You took almost 5 years to bring us Genesis & N64 Nintendo and now you want to Jack up the sub rate??? Uhhhh NO! Call me when you guys finally get around to adding Cube or Wii games….some day…or maybe when I’m dead 😵 and then won’t matter no more lol
Again Nintendo has some pair jacking us up for merely N64/Genesis games being added!! AND I LOVE ❤️ GENESIS!! I would’ve gladly accepted the NSO increase if it was GameCube & Wii games being added!! Unbelievable
@AtlanteanMan I would actually LOVE to see the whole entire Activision 2600 lineup of games hit! That would be awesome! Pitfall, Stampede, Barnstorming, Grand Prix, Megamania, Kaboom!, River Raid, Chopper Command, Seaquest, Enduro! Oh baby! Lol 😂
Again for that sort of subscription price hike we should be seeing consoles like Wii and GameCube! For Genesis and N64 only it’s to me just insulting. It’s almost as if Nintendo thinks we’re all a bunch of idiots??
For those of you (like me) that are looking to see the Midway/Atari Games Arcade classics and there’s a ton of them people, it’s never gonna happen unless Warner Bros Games does something about it. It’s the largest hole in the switch classic library, but can you imagine? Defender Joust Defender II Robotron 2084 Smash TV Satan’s Hollow Sinistar Paperboy Hydro Thunder Marble Madness Gauntlet I&II Tapper Spy Hunter Gorf Wizard of War Timber Bubbles San Francisco Rush Vindicators Rampage Xenophobe I can go on and on here lol 😂
@MetalPhoenix83 a Centipede remake just hit Switch a few weeks ago but what I’m not sure of is if the original was tossed in there. However FYI, you CAN get Centipede & many other perfect Atari Arcade games on the Atari Flashback collection! Probably $30 area if you’re interested. Physical definitely not sure if still in the eshop.
@Dethmunk yea only it’s too bad those corporate idiots at Sega pulled the plug on the Ages line. For why I still don’t know! When Virtua Racing hit I had high hopes for Daytona and Sega Rally Championship! But Noooo! Lol 🤷♂️ Can’t make any sense of the decision to end it.
I have so many modded systems it’s ridiculous but none have any Saturn titles - been waiting for years to hear news of someone finally nailing it and this seems like a big step forward. So I guess I’ll have to keep an eye out for modded systems that start including Saturn games that run well.N64 and Atari Jaguar are also beasts to emulate as I understand it and if anyone scoffs at my mentioning the Jag yea I get it but the system had a few gems on there I’d love to be able to play!
Unbelievable!! Could be the biggest 3rd party announcement for Switch ever!! I’ll never forget how GTA III & Vice City blew my fragile mind!! Day 1 for Switch & Series X but I will get all 5 new versions over time. I want the trilogy on EVERY current gen system! 😁😆
So it took them 4 years to add N64 and Sega Genesis when they both should’ve been there from Day 1. But what’s even more frustrating is they want more sub money?? For N64 and Genny?? That’s pure CORPORATE GREED right there folks! The only way I’d give this a pass is if they were adding GameCube & Wii Games!! And STILL NO DAMN INDIVIDUAL GAME PURCHASE OPTION!! Unbelievable what are they smoking over at Nintendo?? Must be good stuff because they are delusional! This is when Modded systems become the answer for me. And Maybe GameCube will be added to NSO when like Playstation 9 comes out OR when I’m dead and buried!! 🤬
@KingMike that’s true yes although I don’t remember seeing Xevious in there - arcade Xevious anyway but I’ll have another look. But either way this is a great way for hamster to beef up its lineup even more and as I said there’s plenty of Namco classics not available on switch yet 😊
WOW!! Anybody notice that Pac-Man and Xevious dropped today from Hamster??? I guess they did a deal with Namco??? That’s awesome cause we all know Namco has a truck ton of classics!!! LOVE YOU HAMSTER BOYS!!!!! ❤️❤️😁😜
Even if they offered a free content update for previous buyers it doesn’t help us on the physical copy side! So I guess I’m double dipping…again. Tossing in the Snes Aladdin does ease the pain a little even though IMO the Genesis Aladdin was the better game. But I still don’t understand why they couldn’t do this the first time around??
Not a big deal but you guys forgot to mention that it also found its way over to the Xbox 360 console and because of BC, can be played on Xbox One & Series X/S.
@TheDragonDAFan I was just gonna say that. if this is all true then to me it’s unacceptable. if the wii can handle the original game as intended, certainly the Switch can. 😊
Not for nothing, but how does an experienced publisher like Sega or other game publishers for that matter, not notice obvious issues like this before the game ships??? 🤷♂️
@Funneefox I completely agree! This service is so horrible. And to me they’re going backwards as I’d much rather see N64 and GameCube games announced for the service not these handhelds. Then, the slap in the face is no GBA?? Ridiculous
