@slider1983 Tbh it's kinda impressive how it kinda catches the 16 bit look, considering Tiertex handle the port it's pretty good not perfect but a good version for 8 bit way better then the game boy version tho again Amiga or Mega Drive versions are the best versions tho I doubt it but it would be interesting if the cancelled Nes version is included in this just to see if it was any good or not.

@ThisIsPete I mean it looks better then the James Pond collection which apparently isn't using Ai at all, I think the best way to use Ai is as a tool but also have a human artist properly review it and fix any mistakes from design to glitches rather than just letting Ai handle the whole creative process and expect nothing to go wrong.

@slider1983 Yeah the later PS1 version/Gba version have different levels and lack the penguins 🐧 as I said the Amiga original is best version and maybe Mega Drive as a close 2nd.

@slider1983 I mean it's very easy to get the ROMs online and the best one Robocod was released on so many platforms it rivals Rayman 2 for having so many ports ironically really both 2nd games in their series lol Robocod was ported to Switch 1 a few years ago for a good price, tho I still say the Amiga version has the better levels.

They might be retro but the PS3 and Wii still have a very modern look to them, especially with a PS3 being HD, a lot of games still looking great even today, the fat PS3 has such a great futuristic design, while with Wii there's still a lot of great motion games that still look and play better then offerings you get on Switch despite the newer tech, not to mention the Wii being a one stop for all retro games with Virtual Console and other emulators Game Cube too both systems are worth using today "age hasn't slowed them down one bit"

@slider1983 ? You mean it's lacking cus it didn't include the awful home computer ports of the TMNT games? I played them out of curiosity and there basically all terrible, especially the Amiga version, having bad Sprites and lacking the actual TMNT/Konami music, can't forget how bad the Amiga track cus there's only one track in the whole game was just looping through the whole game, didn't you check out the turtles lair? Love how's it's in 3D and so much stuff about the comics and shows to the new game guides that you can reference from the pause ment very nice touch, especially for TMNT 1 for nes and TMNT 3 for GB to the behind the scenes stuff showing how they made the games and cut content like Metelhead meant to be a boss in TMNT arcade 1 rather then Turtles in time, not forgetting online multiplayer, the only real way to play TMNT/turtles in time, if you really want a collection of emulators and roms with cheap nasty ai art again older re-releases of James Pond had decent art even the recently Switch one, they couldn't pay someone just to do some art for them then I guess this is for you **you** lol tho again aside from the Amiga and maybe Mega Drive versions most of the other James Pond ports are basically ass and believe me I have played them.

@Poltergeist8606 The best kind of games you only really got on systems like this lol so much fun.

@slider1983 at least Digital Eclipse actually puts enough into their retro collections TMNT and Atari 50 are some of the best yet no Ai here and plenty of history behind the games, Oh I played Robocod, but my autocorrect hasn't heard of it, it's one of the few games I think plays best on Amiga then Mega Drive despite owning both, and the awful PS1, GBA versions that replace the penguins 🐧 with elves and worse level layouts, I even brought the Switch 1 version they brought out a few years ago, I couldn't get into the first James Pond and the 3rd one is just weird, did have a soft spot for the sports spin off, but here's the thing James Pond could do a better collection then this awful Ai fake looking one, I mean what were they thinking? I'm sure the Switch 1 version and the PS1/2 ports had better art that didn't look like random generated art, remember having Robocod on DS too, again best versions were the Amiga ones, like that cool Danger Mouse style animated intro, honestly I would like a proper remake or new James Pond but honestly seeing this is how they handle it I rather they didn't, even Bubsy got better treatment recently then poor James Pond.

@PopetheRev28 Yeah the save batteries do die sadly surprised some of my carts still have a charge, tho it's why I like collecting GBA carts since aside from Pokémon Gba games there save is a bit more permanent memory but as you said they can be changed and most other issues are sorted by simply cleaning the cartridge, found that also applies to discs too as long it's not too scratched.

@jojobar As long you clean them first.

@PopetheRev28 As I said I was only a kid at the time and didn't know how to clean or repair it, but in all my life I only ever had two carts die/stopped working on me, everything else works 40+ years on.

@PopetheRev28 Kinda funny how there against anything Ai based but now anti physical, I have older cartridges then this like 30/40 years old and they work good as new once cleaned, I suspect this cartridge was damaged, I got a Aliens 3 Mega Drive that stopped working in the early 00s but I do remember something inside was rattling, was only a kid so I had no idea to fix it but that's the only time well twice I had Robocop for Game Boy Colour which also broke/stopped working in the early 00s yet my older Game Boy games including the original GB Robocop works perfectly even now I had a cartridge stop working, even a lot of my stracthed PS1 discs work pretty well even now.

@jesse_dylan Something like TMNT shredder's revenge would be amazing, there's still a market for sprite based beat em ups.

Is it asking too much for Sega just to bring Golden Axe The Revenge of Death Adder to modern consoles?

Gonna pass on this, Robocod was the only decent one, the amount of Ai in the trailer is kinda surprising, did none of the people involved look at this and noticed how cheap and awful it looks? It looks so fake, bad when even Bubsy got a better collection then James Pond. Do ya all self a favour and just don't buy it, there's enough ways to emulated Robocod if you really need to play it.

@slider1983 What version are you playing? 🤔 Sure it's the original game and all series have to start somewhere where but really "detailed sprites with definition" I know this got a original Gameboy port but for Amiga and Playstation The original worms looked bad even back then, There's a reason why people still play Worms Armageddon

@Martin_H I mean there's a lot of charm in the PS1 version, for me it's one of the best looking games on the system, tho this would be good for modding tho people have already modded the PS1 games with extras but more Spyro is never a bad thing.

@slider1983 They actually animate them in Worms 2/Armageddon, not sure what you mean detailed sprites when they look like something off the Atari 2600 in the original worms even in this director's cut version, they don't animate, all looking the same, like a bunch of copies stuck in pause mode, While in Armageddon they actually have personalities, they all move, looking alive, properly animated using weapons and gadgets, and the designs give them a nice lively cartoon look, instead of looking like being made out of 20 pixels, "detailed sprites with definition" my foot lol

@slider1983 They look like Atari 2600 Sprites, last I checked worms didn't have noses, the sequel worms actually have a character design, not to mention proper animations.

@slider1983 Aside from cheap easy achievements you won't be getting any goodies from hamster, specially no online multiplayer.

@slider1983 Your joking right? You can barely see them, they lack the charm and character they got from Worms 2/Armageddon, I know ya start somewhere but honestly Worms 1 just feels like a beta for better things to come.

About time they did a sale, hopefully it applies to EU Eshop.

@slider1983 Thankfully there's a ton of Pc options for Namco games, saw Ridge Racer V arcade battle now emulated in PCSX2 now, all the System 22 racing games are easily emulated on PC and 360 with online multiplayer too

I can't see this selling well.

Only problem with the original Worms it's really outdated by the very next games, Worms 2 and Worms Armageddon, find the original Worms really hard to get into after playing Armageddon.

@Gamecuber If you know how Game Gear was a portable Master System that's how it handled ports from the MS, they were all like this with rare times the game gear version is just the Master system inside a GG cart castle of illusion, chase HQ are examples of this where it's not changed for the GG resolution/hardware the GG runs the game in MS mode as it you were using that cartridge adapter but Sonic 1 on GG while still uses the GG resolution so the Sprites are more zoomed in then the MS version, they actually made effort by totally redesigning Sonic's sprite set to be smaller then the one used in the MS version and both versions of Sonic 2 8 bit, the camera is pushed back so Sonic doesn't need to be right at the edge of the screen to move it giving you a bit more viewing space, again later GG Sonic lose this and use the bigger MS style sprites for Sonic which looks nicer but reinforces screen crunch, Sonic 1 GG was made by the studio who made Streets of Rage the GG ports graphics are resized to work better on the handheld too tho another studio handled all the 8 Bit Sonic games starting from Sonic 2, I only ever managed to beat Sonic 1 GG and oddly Sonic Blast on GG tho latter only happen due to the extra rings it gives you, Sonic 1 GG felt more like a fair challenge Sonic 2 on GG looks nice but is indeed a real struggle to play due to no efforts to make the screen work on GG, your better off playing Sonic 2 MS on GG to fix it which is what I did back then.

@Gamecuber Sonic 1 isn't reduced at all and is the original version before it got ported to Game Gear there's a beta of Sonic 1 GG that still has the master system Sprites for Sonic and the Camera doesn't give you a lot of space the Game Gear version uses smaller Sprites for Sonic, has warning signs, camera is pushed back to give Sonic a better field of view and some other adjustments to make it work better on game gear, every other Game Gear Sonic game just uses the master system version without changing the Sprites again looks nicer but it gives you barely any room to see, leading to screen cramp and cheap difficult The underground zone boss is prime example unlike Sonic 1 on GG

@mjparker77 Sega has gotten worse lately, like charging $100 for a new cartridge of Sonic 1 and 2, but the pricing for Hamster's work is still a rip off, that's coming from someone who was buying a lot of them but the jump in price for games that are super easy to emulated, poorly aged or just really old games that would be better on a collection for niche games like they used to do years ago on PS1 and PS2, the lack of features or even versions don't help justify the price when it's so easy to play it on name with ease even on a android device when it's basically the same Hamster is doing, putting roms into emulators, still waiting for them to try adding another Namco 3D board that isn't Namco System 22 again $15 to $17 is asking a lot again when there's no online or any features or some history about the game, meanwhile there's a guy putting all the system 22 games, sega model 2 onto PC and 360 into a collection with online support for free, now why Hamster do that for $15-17 a pop?

The 1st Worms game is too dated when Worms Armageddon exists I rather I play that over this mod.

@Grackler That's why I still keep my Switch Lite as my main portable all the main Doom games and Quake 1 & 2 play perfectly on it.

@slider1983 This was always a favourite for me on GBA and it works well as a portable game as long as the handheld can run it well, remember the iOS version in the 00s being a lot of fun too, tho again I think Switch is the best due to having basically every main Doom game on it

@Thad Same I only passed the 1st level on Game Gear version of Sonic 2 through save states, there's just not enough room to react, on SMS it's not issue cus you can see more, bigger sprites do look nicer which helped sell GG Sonic 2, looks good in pictures not so much to actually play it and same for Mario Land 2 but I think they had the right idea with Mario Land 1 there's no screen crunch at all despite the sprites being more simplified.

@slider1983 Works well enough on a gamepad if the buttons are mapped right, loved playing Doom 1 and 2 on GBA as cool as this is I already have several portable ways to play Doom, the Switch is a good way, having Doom 1,2,3,2016 and eternal on a Switch lite is pretty great.

@Thad That's one reason why I actually liked the original Super Mario Land, the smaller sprites gave you more screen space, same with Sonic 1 on Game Gear making Sonic smaller helps make it more playable compared to the later GG Sonic games.

Somehow think this will be harder to play due it's screen size compared to other Quarter sized Arcade machines..

I like the idea of Sega themed watches but these designs look kinda lame, would love a Dreamcast watch with a VMU style LCD screen.

@Guru_Larry I hope that gets finished it looked so good from the last preview.

@AnonUser ohh and also Mario 64 DS added a ton of content from Mario Sunshine such as music and a few levels based on it, which I thought was a really nice touch. Along with Luigi running a Casino in it.

@AnonUser ohh your missing out, for a launch DS game it's incredible, it's far from being a watered down version to the n64 version, the DS handles textures better then N64, so all the worlds are fully textured rather than looking basic and like a tech demo, same with the models plus it uses morphs so unlike the n64 version everything looks less blocky as much I love the n64 Mario's model has that early 3D look then the actual gameplay where it gets better, again the maps have been expanded with new areas or even brand levels hidden around the castle, kinda love the idea the game treats it's self as a semi sequel, cus Bowser knows Mario is coming so captures him, Luigi and Wario, starting as Yoshi makes it's a proper Mario is missing, unlocking the characters and beating the new bosses in the levels you get their keys is really good and the models look really good for a launch DS, the only edge n64 has now is the analog control and cursed videos due to how ugly the n64 version looks now, kids think it's "scary" lol tho patches have already fixed it for 3DS analog pad, it's really worth trying out, plus if fans can finish the original idea behind Super Mario 64 DS, the reason why it has 4 playable characters was originally 4 people could play the story mode in co-op hench the original name Super Mario 64x4 tho sadly the DS hardware wasn't powerful enough to realise this idea outside a cool 4 player VS mode again that with online would be awesome, Super Mario 64 DS is far from a "water down" port it's from a era Nintendo really put effort into making a remake feel new and different, nowadays you get Galaxy 1&2 with no changes other to make it work on a Switch, no new graphics, no new levels, no muitplayer or extra playable characters just some fluff in the story book to make the new movie canon lol

@Sketcz It's a bit silly isn't it?

@Atariboy I ended up getting TX-1 but can see a new problem now why isn't the single screen option included or a way to zoom in, Mame has both ways to play it for over a decade now https://youtu.be/coGCxiD8esU?si=x8djyqafd_lltgA4 and like the ace driver release the steering isn't set up properly for a control, gonna have to fiddle with the settings just to make it playable Switch, I can't see how this is better then make outside being on console.

Ohh this looks really cool, have always wanted Nintendo to remake their SNES games but keeping them 16bit, kinda like the Gba ports and just focus on adding new features/content that bottom screen looks good.

@mjparker77 This is what you can do in Mame, so yeah it is a rom in a emulator still, did wonder why Hamster didn't do this with arcade archives release of Ridge Racer which also had a cool 3 screen version just like Mame has now https://youtu.be/7eVmpNOiL3M?si=NreigZE9kpFKJgSx

Neat but being able to drive the hidden cars from Sega Rally in Sega Touring Car Championship was a even cooler hidden feature quite hard to unlock if I remember right.

I mean Sega Mega CD already had a more faithful port back then and even the recent Final Fight MD version already exists which is fully complete.

@Jarend I mean you can't argue with the results it works, and really what's the big issue here? We got more games to play on Dreamcast that no humans bothered to port back then or anyone with spare time now, if you don't like it just play it on a emulator or just assume being miserable.

@RextheSheep I mean I want to play Sonic Mania on Dreamcast but I rather wait till it's fully ready, as you said the dude is doing in his spare time for nothing they shouldn't rush him, do think it's silly how antsy people are getting over a game that's has tons of ways to play it already.

A little misleading but really there's no rush it's not like you can't play Sonic Mania on any other system right now.

@mjparker77 It's really not that hard dude, wouldn't call them ports but overpriced packaged emulators, it's not like the M2 releases like Sega Ages Arcade releases that were actually re programmed ports which is why they can add modern updates like new content, wide screen, boost to 60fps like with Outrun originally aside from the Saturn port, the arcade version was only 30fps there less than couple of quid atm, 6 quid normally, that's far reasonable then Hamster's pricing.

Always did like how this was a 4 player co-op game on NES, when even Konami could only manage 2 player co-op in games TMNT 2 arcade/TMNT 3 Manhattan project that were designed to be 4 player co-op, even on the SNES they couldn't do more then 2 TMNT turtles in time,Sunset Riders
