There's a bunch of Arcade Archives (and now Console Archives) by Hamster waiting for a physical release. How about an Irem arcade collection? Throw all of Tecmo's material on a disc, or have a themed Ninja Gaiden release with the console games and the arcade game. Maybe a Ridge Racer collection if more titles are put out (including console releases).

Less desirable now, but I always wanted a PS4 Disney Afternoon collection physical. I'd now rather it be a PS4 version of the updated new Switch version with the extra games.

Much like many angular Star Wars vehicles, Wipeout hovercraft are well-suited to the Lego look.

Seems like it. M2 seems to have gotten too busy over the last couple years with Sega, Konami, and Taito to work on their self-published Toaplan collections.

Keeping to official modern console published games from LRG is your best bet. Those games are printed by the console companies themselves. So no worry with those. You run a risk when you get these retro releases anywhere, including Limited Run Games.

Can't say I'm happy about this. Exa-Arcadia versions always mean that they will remain exclusive to that expensive arcade system and normal home players buying cheaper versions will get an inferior product.

@Milk_ indeed it is.

That is decidely not an official-looking Gameboy. So we're okay.

I did pre-order this. Still would have preferred a cartridge shell like they did for Gaiares than this green bootleg looking one. Oh well. Its good enough for me anyway.

I've always taken it as a depiction of Dracula's castle but poorly implemented in the background layering.

Strange that its part 1 of a Technos collection, but includes Double Dragon II instead of the original game.

I think Evercade has done this before though, where the original game in a series comes in a later edition.

There was a rumor of a Guardian Heroes remake from a few months ago.

Looks decent. A little cuter/less serious in tone than the original. The female ninja's thighs are massive this time around, too.

Will grab a PS4/5 copy when it launches.

It would have to be playing the Atari 2600/VCS around 1980. The first console my parents bought when I was in my fourth year of existing. Combat was the pack-in game so I imagine that's what I played first.

I'm hoping Hamster will now focus on releasing more licensed arcade games and finally launch that "Console Archives" that was reported on back in late 2021.

Will grab it on PSN. Don't think I'll bother with it on Switch since its on Namco Museum there which I have already.

One of those rare arcade games that surprised me back in the day with all the blood and gore in it. Though I had played Chiller and N.A.R.C. prior. Thought it was fun enough back then and will certainly shell out the $8 for a digital version.

Not a fan of Mazinger, but if Hamster gets any licensed Capcom, Konami, or Data East I'll be there. Would be nice to see Area 88/U.N. Squadron, the Aliens vs Predator beat 'em up, Konami's 1990 Aliens arcade game, The Simpsons, X-Men, Bucky O'hare, and Data East's Robocop to name a few.

I got the game years ago before prices got too crazy. Its okay, but not worth the asking price today.

Sega really should give gamers some modern legal means of playing Saga. Same goes for most of Sega's vast library that aren't Mega Drive/Genesis games.

@Damo Good to hear.

So Japanese exclusive most likely? At least you can get other region games digitally on Switch and PS4/5.

Capcom seems to have been pushing nostalgia hard with the initial release including all 8 original World Warriors from SF2. Shoulda had at least one of them on the cover with Luke or some other new fighter.

Great game.

Grab it on the Wii U Virtual Console before the end of March next year if you want a legit digital copy.
