"Restore missing audio in 32X MKII" - oh thank God, that was the main issue I noticed when playing the games.

Also grateful that they're speeding up the pause menu activation.

I'm still holding out hope that a further future update adds UMK3 for Genesis and MK Gold for Dreamcast.

I like the color choices on the NA box better, but the JP one has the better character designs. A tie.

Day one purchase. Hopefully this release date is legit.

Nggggghhhh too long of a wait!

@Truegamer79 You need to stop looking at the original game through a modern lens. For 1996, TR's graphics were AMAZING. Same with its controls, which were really ingenious with how you navigated through a 3D space. Outside of Crash Bandicoot and Super Mario 64, no other action game from that year is as revolutionary.

@Truegamer79 "If you want to be honest none of these games were all that thrilling even when they were new. Not even the original."

Objectively wrong.

US by far. The Japanese one is so empty. And while the circle tells us who else is in the game, the US one actually shows some of them in action.

It will be such a waste if Conan, after winning a match against Sub-Zero, doesn't say "He was Sub-Zero. Now? PLAIN ZERO."

You better believe it. One of my favorite Wii games, will love playing through it again on a new console.

My wishlist for 2025:
Anteater
Arabian Magic
Bio-Mechanical Toy
Boulder Dash
Bubble Symphony
Cameltry
Continental Circus
Power Instinct
Roc 'n Rope
Suzuka 8 Hours
Syvalion
Thunder Fox
Thunder Hoop
Twin Eagle 1 & 2
Zoo Keeper

And, if they can resolve rights issues:
Captain America and the Avengers
Wild West Cowboys of Moo Mesa

The set isn't nearly as good as the U.S. version. Also it's just lacking something without the forced canned laughter.

I remember playing it on Wii U and after a while, the game just froze. Never had that happen with any other VC game- it worked again after I reset, thankfully. It's very possible that there are emulation issues that Nintendo wants to iron out before releasing it.

Downloaded, thanks for the heads up!

Really disappointed they didn't include any more Jaguar games, especially since the phrase Console War suggests the '90s to me. Jaguar was competing with both the 16-bit consoles but also 3DO and the upcoming Saturn and Playstation.

@Pastellioli June 2023 was the last Genesis update. Pretty lame.

@miwa To be more specific, it's more that the way you switch items is rather clunky, since you have to hold a shoulder button and use the D-pad to choose an item. It's hard to do in the heat of battle with a boss.

One other thing: If you want to pick up where you left off and come back to the game later, whatever you do, DON'T just quit during gameplay, because that will end your game and you have to start all over. You have to get a game over, and THEN quit when it gives you the option. They could've made that clearer, or better yet just have it autosave your progress no matter what.

Warning: This game doesn't hold your hand. It can take multiple tries just to pass one sub-area. It took me over an hour to get to level 4 last night.

Also, I wasn't a fan of how the action didn't pause (or even slow down) when you brought up the inventory screen. It made switching to a different weapon during a boss battle very cumbersome.

Comon more Jaguar games.

Welp, goodbye hard drive space. So much taken up for just one game.

@BangHangleton That is a strawman, since this is not the reason people are upset.

@Munchlax SML is the correct answer. It's astounding it's not on the service yet.

Comon Nightdive, give us Shadow Warrior (classic) already. I know you want to.

Oh come on, why no Super Mario Land 1 already?

NA is the winner and it's not even close.

Power Drift. Make it happen, Sega.

Oh please let there be more Jaguar games.

You're nuts. The Poplins are cute.

I didn't even realize this was out! I'll probably be getting this soon.

Eh. Don't care about the Mario Party titles.

"Hey, come on! Hey, come on! Hey, come on!"

Yes, and it sucks. The minus worlds on the Japanese SMB are so much better.

I hate article titles like this. I don't have to admit anything I don't want to. Take it down a notch, just a little bit.

Guess I'm in the minority that this update didn't do as much for me as the 4/18 and 5/25 ones. I guess I'll keep playing Blaster Master Enemy Below but I really wish it differentiated itself more from the original game aside from different level layouts.

@anoyonmus They totally should. For the other two consoles too while they're at it. It is technically backwards compatible with XB1 but you need the original disc AFAIK. We need a digital release as well!

We already had a reboot. It was called Mortal Kombat 9.

Kinda wish they weren't drawn in SD style.

For those that haven't played them, these two games are pretty fun- but I already own them on XB1 so I won't be double dipping for this. Plus as mentioned ad nauseum, we need the first five games remastered. They haven't been released on consoles in over a decade.

Looks like Horizon Chase 2 on PS4/XB/Switch is out of the question now. Rats.

All great games on this update. Yes, even Flicky. I will not allow a bad word said about Flicky. (stern stare)

NES Classic or Nintendo Switch Online versions for me. SMAS version is broken due to the "bounce higher when hitting a block" mechanic, the original NES carts are not getting any younger, Wii VC version requires, well, booting into Wii Mode, the Wii U VC release has washed out colors, and SMB1 shouldn't be played on a handheld screen unless that's all you've got.

So I already beat Kirby's Dream Land 2, there wasn't much to Side Pocket or Xevious, and BurgerTime Deluxe is pretty repetitive. Good thing I still have Metroid Fusion and Zelda: Minish Cap that I'm working through...

You've got to stop wording your headlines like that. Better to start with "Happy Birthday to..." so people don't panic.

Donkey Kong Country 1-3, because it would give me an excuse to play through those games again.

Xbox version is way better. Modern FPS controls make it a lot more fun.

Bought it today. It doesn't appear to have the New version, only the Old (they have different opening levels). I wonder if that will get added in an update?

U.S. Sonic CD reminds me of the basketball tip.

@Mr_Nutz My favorite of the era was Game Players/Ultra GP, but yeah I bought some random issues of EGM as well. I still can't believe there was a 400 hundred page issue of EGM. That was insane.

Yeah seriously, please tweak the headline. Looks like a lot of people had the same thing in mind.

I'm re-reading Game Over: Press Start to Continue by David Sheff, and obviously Shigeru Miyamoto is a big part of many chapters of the book. Nintendo is very lucky to have such a talented man.

Most of these have been on Retromags for years and Nintendo hasn't come after them... I think they're safe.

32x, because to date only one game from it has been re-released on modern consoles: Blackthorne, of all things.
