razazteca 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2004 Midway Arcade Treasure series has everything from Defender to Gauntlet to Smash tv to Mortal Kombat. Konami on the GBA has Frogger, Scramble, Rush N Attack, Time Pilot, Yie Ar Kung Fu! Namco has Pacman, Galaga, Dig Dug and others in Arrangement mode remakes. Nintendo is trying to resale its NES collection for $20 a piece on GBA while the other companies are bundling games in groups of 4, 6, or 20 for the same price.

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 3, 2004 the NES re-releases are better quality games I think, but when it comes to a reasonable price, Midway Arcade Treasures should getthe nod. Namco is pretty good, although repetitive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2004 Sonic Mega Collection + is supposed to be out, but I haven't had a chance to check my local EB yet (yesterday was listed as the release date). Nintendo is gyping people. 20 bucks for Donkey Kong missing a level? There's no excuse for them not to give us Donkey Kong Classics instead, but even so I'd have probably stuck with my DK'94 for Game Boy. Namco needs to release a huge DVD of the entire Museums (The PS1's N,A,M,C,O editions and including the final one released only in Japan) for me to really bother with their collections. Midway's done a great job, but some lazy job emulating kind of hurts the packages. Konami hasn't released a "must have" one yet. Come on, give us a CV collection, guys. So Midway wins, IMO.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2004 YES! A CastleVania collection would kick all kinds of ass! Sonic Mega Collection +? What's the + adding over the initial release? Sonic Mega Collection PLUS includes: Seven of the most-loved Sonic games of all time: Sonic The Hedgehog® Sonic The Hedgehog® 2 Sonic The Hedgehog® 3 Sonic & Knuckles™ Sonic 3D Blast™ Sonic The Hedgehog® Spinball™ Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine™ plus three Sonic lock-on games (from Sonic & Knuckles) Six Sega Game Gear® games: Sonic the Hedgehog® Sonic Chaos™ Sonic Drift™ Sonic Labyrinth™ Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine™ Sonic Blast™ Unlockable Sega Genesis® games: The Ooze™ Comix Zone™ Flicky™ Ristar™ Those Game Gear games were added (all of the GG games were on Sonic Adventure DX, though), Comix Zone (was in the Japanese SMC but not the US one), and I think that's basically it. They're all emulated, though. That's not a *bad* thing, but what it basically means is that it isn't full screen; there are black bars around the display. Still feels exactly like it should, though. Not really worth it if you have the original SMC, but if you don't you get a nice collection of Sonic games, plus the others, for $20. I'm not sure what you gotta do to unlock the S&K lock-in games or the separate lock-on games yet, though. No Sonic CD--you're going to have to go PC CD-ROM, Sega CD, or SCD emulator for that, I'm afraid.1 Anyone who has the PS2/XB/GC Namco Museum collection--could you tell me the total list of games on that one?

razazteca 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2004 Namco brings an unprecedented number of classic arcade hits home in one package. Games included are Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Galaxian, Dig Dug and Pole Position II. But the fun doesn't stop there, since Namco has added all new arrangement modes plus other hidden games. So that would be 10 plus Pac-Mania and Pac-Attack as unlockables. I would buy it just for Pac-Man Arrangement, myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anya 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2004 Midway and Capcom, for MAT2 and the Megaman collection. Collections of games I actually care about. I really don't care for old school stuff like Galaga. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2004 Will there be a MAT3 and what will be on it? I notice on MAT2 they were struggling with games and filled it with alot of fluff like Wacko, Kozmik Krooz'r, Timber, Wizard of Wor, and a glichy Hard Drivin.
