I also would love to see games that aren't the ones that we saw re-released dozens of times, but let's face it: they'll try to get the most money they can, naturally, and the fact that Metal Slug is the Top 1 seller shows that the average consumer wants the big names, especially if they are the rarest to find in their original form.

Personally, I would buy Windjammers, Nightmare in the Dark (unreleased digitally or otherwise), Double Dragon, Neo Bomberman and several games that I know are almost impossible for licensing reasons.

Konami GT looks amazing!

Thank you both, it makes sense now!

I don't understand why this one is treated as an indie game, Duke Nukem 1+2 wasn't.

Plus, there are more Apogee games to release if they wanted to, but including this one in an Indie Heroes 5... I don't know. I haven't bought any of the previous four, I would rather have BioMenace in an Apogee Collection.

I've suffered with SLG before, and decided not again. They released a statement saying the waiting times would improve, yet they have worsened. Usually their games end up on Amazon Japan for everyone to get anyway.

Available on the Evercade (Renovation Collection cartridge), just for information purposes.

I struggle to keep up with the versions and re-releases. Anyway, I would love to delve into the series from the beginning, but no one seems interested in emulating or remastering the first two entries, three if you count Dodonpachi II.

Even if it's in Japanese only these games are playable, so as long as they're available on Western Steam it's better than nothing.

But I still hope it comes to the Switch, physically if my wish can be granted. And the re-release of the rest of the series would be the cherry on top.

I got Fighting Simulator 2-in-1 (aka Hiryū no Ken Gaiden) on Game Boy as a kid, and weird as the game was, I found it very fun.

I don't know why, but the main theme of the series is one of my favourite video game songs.

It feels like these collections should be put together by sports and not be divided in several volumes within the same sport.

@OorWullie Yeah. When asked about releasing individually arcade games playable inside Yakuza games they said it's just too risky for them, that they wouldn't be profitable.

And seeing how people complains about Hamster prices "for a game this old" I can't totally blame them.

@CrispNCrunch Sure. Anyway, I love Jaleco and wish to see its games collected physically. I hope the JaleColle line will become a collection once the 10 games have been released. I mean... it's in the very name!

Nice! Now that it seems that Blaze has lost interest in more Jaleco carts for the Evercade I hope this comes one day to Switch and physically. I'll take the overlapping.

For those wondering, Blaze has heavily hinted that there will be a cart with more Rare games this year, and other Super Pocket editions have seen their games re-released on carts before, no worries.

As for Banjo-Kazooie working on this thing, they said it's a native port, that's why. And they also announced an analog controller due in September, so we're definitely seeing the game out of the Super Pocket before the end of the year.

Mega Cat 3 has been a letdown for me, I was hoping they would include bigger games in it, owning the likes of ZDF and Project Blue. I don't think I'm gonna buy this one. Activision 2 I will, after all both Activision carts have games that aren't on the Atari 50 Collection and aren't expected to be in it as a DLC either.

If I had gotten the Turrican Anthology vol. II for Switch from Amazon Japan to complement the barebones Turrican Flashback release, like I was planning to, I would be angry, would've spent too much money and would definitely skip this cart.

But I didn't, so this is a collection that solves the problem, will definitely buy it and I guess I'll keep Turrican Flashback for Switch in my collection because it was dirt cheap and I don't mind having it if I fancy some Turrican and don't have the Evercade with me.

It looks great, I hope it's not text heavy.

It took 84 years, nobody expected it at this point. And everything is already on Evercade and the Toaplan Collections. The overlapping on Switch and Playstation seems a litlle odd.

At this point the main attraction for me at least will be the console ports.

I'm an achievement fan as long as they're not things that feel like a chore or are insanely difficult to perform, and sorely miss them on Nintendo consoles to the point of purchasing some games elsewhere for that reason.

But I don't really know how it works. I mean, can I use Retro Achievements on a BatleXP G350? On a Raspberry perhaps? It would be really cool on Evercade, by the way.

Sad to hear about it. I recently was delving into his work, because I love what he did in the Kunio-kun series, especially in Downtown Nekketsu March: Super-Awesome Field Day!, with epic but at the same time nostalgic themes.

Rest in Peace.

Looks interesting, even more so being the line's mascot. I love it when they release games that don't require reading japanese. It will definitely go to my wishlist... unless they start releasing variants for more powerful platforms, which happens a lot in EGG Console games.

@Arcadia_Official I don't know the reason, but all ACA Neo Geo games did appear on Xbox One. Yet the Arcade Archives ones didn't.

@Teksette We never know. They do sales sometimes, but always affect a handful of titles, and from a library of hundreds it would be luck to see the one you want. They still haven't put any Konami game on sale, though. Some Namco several times already.

@GhaleonUnlimited No, I meant Battletoads in Ragnarok's World, which is THE Battletoads but on GB. There is another one simply called "Battletoads" that is, in fact, an entirely different game. It is confusing.

Like others mentioned, I was able to beat it on Game Boy as a kid. Since I can't on NES on Rare Replay I assumed that the GB version was slightly easier, but it could just be me that I'm rusty.

Anyway, I do remember getting to later stages and struggling with the snake one. Maybe I used the Game Genie, I honestly can't remember.

But obnoxious as Turbo Tunnel is, it's kind of addictive, isn't it?

Anyway, I kinda feel that this is a huge downgrade coming from Astro City Mini. They should have made the first one with more games or now a third one with the remaining interesting ones and even more obscure titles mixed too. I love that the Egret II Mini can be expanded with the SD slot, it started with 40 games and now they're 90. I didn't mind buying the second Astro City Mini with vertical games. Would prefer a third one than these toy-like devices, even if I end up buying one or two.

I didn't know about Mad Rider (nor about Rune Worth), and this one looks interesting and not text-heavy. To the wishlist!

@Damo I know you mentioned it, but the sentence about the My Arcade Outrunners being a port (or any other arcade exclusive game that arrives to consoles) is something that I read very often (from any writer), and I was just pointing it out, don't worry. I liked the article!

One year after my comments, I almost forgot about these things. Anyway, I'll consider some of them, but not all. Mainly Out Run, with the Outrunners arcade being available for the first time at home. It's not that it hasn't been ported as it incorrectly says in the article. It got ported to Mega Drive, for better or worse. Emulated arcades on consoles don't make them less arcade-only, since they're not ports. They're exactly the same, only emulated.

Well, it's always good news that some arcade exclusive game is officially released on domestic systems via emulation. It's not a port, though. It's the arcade running on emulation. So it was actually never ported to consoles.

What's not good news is the asking price. Come on, this isn't polygons... It can't be 1995 = 14,99 €...

@PKDuckman You can enjoy Outfoxies from today, I'm sure you already know!

Space Invaders... well, I have it on the Invincible Collection AND the Egret II Mini, so no, I'm not excited. I wasn't to begin with. It's a welcome addition, but only for those who didn't already have it on the same system.

An expensive license with an expensive price tag for sure.

About Ms. Pac-Man, it can be done. It's a matter of Namco not wanting to pay for the inclusion of what considers to be theirs in any collection. Hamster could. Not sure about this game being THE game for the 500th release though.

But it would be nice of them to do a 50% off across the entire line-up as a celebration, wouldn't it?

Looks interesting, and I didn't even know about it, so it's a yes.

I'm not into paying 1 year in advance, I'm sorry. If it ever releases for general audiences and gets on a sale it could be a yes.

Looking forward to the Turrican Collection especially, it's Turrican Anthology but on one cart, which is great. Missed chance to include Game Boy and C64 versions, though. And this time there isn't a 1 in the cart name. Not that it would have been a warranty of more carts to come, after all the Evercade has several Collection 1 without a 2.

@slider1983 @JoakimZ As in the Turrican collections for Switch and PS4, the Turricans without a Mega or a Super in their name are the Amiga versions!

As for Taito 3, it overlaps heavily with the Egret II Mini again, but has the first Puzzle Bobble, that I have on Switch but I'd love to have for the Alpha, so I'll wait for a sale on this one.

Great! Now I don't have to buy Turrican Anthology vol. II.

As for Taito 3... again, it massively overlaps with the Egret II Mini line-up, and definitely makes the Taito Evercade Alpha in-memory games obsolete for cartridge buyers.

I can't find what are the platforms it will be playable for. Is it an official Steam release? (highly doubt it) Is it itch.io?

Anyway, I wouldn't say Final Fight needs any introduction. It still gets a lot of love nowadays, although from us players, not Capcom launching new entries, of course.

It hasn't been added to the eShop yet, at least the European ones. I hope it isn't another of the rare cases of Arcade Archives games staying in Japan... I was really looking forward to playing it.

@iheartpizzallc That's great news. Thanks and best of luck!

I am thrilled with this. I learned about its existence not long ago, and just yesterday I was thinking I wished it came to the Arcade Archives, given that Video System has some games in it. And boom, next day I wake up with this amazing news!

By the way, two of its characters appear in Aero Fighters 3.

Wow, that is expensive...

Looks interesting, but I hope it gets released physically.

It's definitely less value for money than Rare Replay, which I own and enjoy a lot still nowadays, but yes, the portability is a good point here, and let's face it: most Evercade fans will buy any cart for completion reasons anyway.

I doubted a little initially because I already have 11 of 12 games on a much better package, but I'd like to play them on the go, so I preordered already. And the Conker portable adventure kind of justifies it.

We can expect more overlapping on upcoming -and already confirmed, although without titles announced- Rare Collection volumes.

I don't think I've seen the compatibility addressed in the review. Does it play games from all regions?

This is a project I've been following for a long time, and it's sad that for its own nature this can't be released physically. Otherwise it would be a success, I'm sure. But we'll have to settle for the digital free release. Mauro Xavier is awesome.

It depends on how text-heavy is it.

Hope it ends up on normal stores where you pay and get the game inmediately.

But hope even more that Pixel Heart delivers on the promise of a physical Visco Collection.

It has to be the most niche game in the Arcade Archives line. 100%.

By the way, the Arcade Memories vol. 3 for the Egret II Mini has its sequel, Top Landing. And that was a "they must be scratching the bottom of the barrel" moment.

The thing is... no word on Infinos Gaiden?

I'm up for any vintage games collection, but this one has some text-heavy games in it. Well, I guess it's worth the money even for the other titles.

Anyway, I don't expect them to come to the West, localized and all. Valis Collection did, but digitally only.

Let me guess: yet another Atari 50 edition, now with the Namco DLC.

Is there a way to buy the games separately on Switch? I already have Granada and Gaiares twice each on other systems.
