@Reechard Again it's not like Neo Geo games are stuck on original hardware, I think SNK have managed to bring it's games well rather to modern systems over the years from PS2/Wii/PSP/PS3 to Switch and PS4/5 not to mention the Neo Geo X, Evercade and many ports of its best games, but I guess people have tons of money to throw on overpriced nostalgia toys.
@mjparker77 Just saying there's plenty of ways to play Neo Geo games Wii had it on VC, PSP/PS3 had it on PSN, there's collections and plenty of modern versions like this before tho some of the early ones were pretty rough, remember Ashens covering a few As great as Neo Geo Classics are it's library is rather limited compared to say a SNES or a Playstation, Saturn or even a Dreamcast yet most of its best games do have modern ways to play them, I get it you want the original experience but hope you enjoy paying the original price too lol
Here we go again... as much some of Neo Geo games are classics it's kinda always been overpriced fluff, I mean it's not like there's tons of ways to play Neo Geo games already on other systems from ports to emulation/collections and even other modern remakes of the Neo Geo and it's arcade version before this.
@SepticLemon Simply to get people buying more Switch 2 versions, I mean if the Switch 1 can emulate something like Namco System 32 Ridge Racer perfectly with rewind with the arcade archives which thankfully they still release on Switch 1 then there's no technical reason why a Switch 1 can't have Console Archives which have been mostly Nes/Famicom or PS1 games both systems the Switch 1 can easily run.
@PinballBuzzbro Yeah the sequels were a lot worse and rather confusing, love David Wise's work on this and the fact I believe this had a nice continue feature where you could continue from the stage you died on as many times as you wanted.
@slider1983 Only the main Amiga version it seems it dose have the c64 port doubt it has the Amiga CD32 version which offered new levels, CD soundtrack that would be used in the later PS1/2/Switch ports, and the cool James Pond cartoon it had, but then again this time is a series that originated on computers, don't see the Atari ST version or any of the other computer ports in this collection such as the DOS version so again it's very incomplete and pretty over priced.
Still can't believe we are finally getting this, hopefully we will get other Sega Model 3 & 2 ports to Dreamcast, I would love to see Daytona USA 2 or maybe a Sega Rally 2 a new port that doesn't rely on Windows CE
@slider1983 " if DE put this out it would mostly be inferior Nintendo versions with a few MD ports." I mean that seems to be what system 3 are doing here, they already skipped over the master system version, C64 version, the game boy version and Amiga CD32 versions, I mean they could of included the Game Boy Advance version too like DE did with the Rayman 1 collection where everything got included, James Pond 3 for game gear is also missing so it's not even a complete collection, so much for my hope they might of included the unreleased NES version of Robocod, this is no where near the quality of Cowabunga collection or Atari 50...or even the Budsy Collection especially for the asking price.
@Thad Nah Lower Decks was just not funny or clever, I didn't like it cus it was Awful I don't care about what critics think plus awful shows and movies and even games can get awards doesn't actually mean there any good.
@Bizzy Sony just got greedy remember when they managed to outshine Sega Saturn by offering a better fairer price and better made games to boot? Or the PS2 being the cheapest DVD player deal? I miss that kind of playstation, Sure PS3 was expensive but aside from a few hardware issues it was a technical full package, Blu ray player, 4 USB slots, all them memory card slots one worked with the psp memory cards I think then ya got PS1 and PS2 disc support, compared to paying for a PS5 it can't even play PS1 game discs.
@Quick_Man It really is they should of just used the original art or got someone to actually draw some artwork like they did with the Robocod Switch 1 port which actually looks really nice despite the actual game content basically being the same version they released on the PS1 and PS2 in the 00s.
@IceClimbersMain There is a fan made RidgeRacer collection on PC that's worth looking into, I like this exists but tbh it just makes me appreciate the PS1 port more, glad to see Ridge Racer finally get some love tho.
Kinda nice Atari Jaguar is getting more games but it would of been nicer to have Zool 1 and 2 on modern systems, I ain't getting a Jag just for Zool, tho Zool 64 looks interesting would be interesting how they it work in 3D.
That's pretty awesome, it would be cooler if they somehow include Metal Gear Online like a later update, it give people more reason to buy this collection.
@-wc- Doesn't Hamster's Arcade Archive release of the arcade version have those features too? Aside from the password system Nes is basically the same game but less colour and less impressive sound.
Neat tho I think a GBA SP is a far better portable handheld, decent size screen, plays GB and GBC, flips making it easier to put away, better in the hands, I still use my nes classic GBA SP lot this summer.
@slider1983 Been replaying it on my Game Gear flash cart recently again it's kinda impressive how close it looks to the 16 bit versions, Game Gear version is the same but with screen crunch so more leaps of faith, thankfully the SMS version is playable on Game Gear, tho both versions have slightly different physics like Robocod can be a little slippy and I think some of the levels are missing compared to the Mega Drive and original Amiga version.
@-wc- A little pointless when you can get the arcade version from hamster I think for the same price, might of been better if they went for Bubble Symphony or Bubble Bobble Part 2 for the nes. ✌️
