MMGN: What happened to those games that consumed hundreds of hours of your childhood? For many of us they simply disappeared, for a number of reasons, and the entire series now ceases to exist. Today we take a look back at some of the better series – not just single games, but we’ll count expansions – that were once prolific but are now nowhere to be seen.
These classics need to make a return.
Pre-ordered mine a few days ago. Love this concept and hope there are more games announced. I can’t justify paying the prices for games that collectors are asking for. It’s the primary reason I own almost every console except the Neo Geo.
I've pre ordered one here in the UK, no games though, as I'll move it on for a higher price. The white model looks awesome, but as expected, the price is too high. We'll probably see more of those all in one cartridges from China containing every AES game. In the UK, AES+ game at £70 ($95) is better than eye watering prices for the originals, but these games are so old and I can honestly say SNK didn't release many classics. The Metal Slug series is the only series I rate, there were just too many Street Fighter clones and not enough scrolling fighting games. Overall, the Neo Geo was poor for all genres apart from one on one fighters. Videos on YouTube asking for games from that console generation to be ported to the AES+, but who'd want to pay £70 for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2? There's a lot of SNK collections out there, the best being Metal Slug Anthology on the PlayStation 2. The Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on the Switch contains 12 games for around £30, instead of £840 if released on the AES+. For collectors, the AES+ is the best news since sliced bread. Are there enough SNK fans out there? Nowhere near. Those £70 cartridges will soon start creeping up in price and it'll be a re-run of the original console.
I always wanted one in the 90's but couldn't afford it. Now i can but i think if i get one it will be collecting dust fast. It's a nostalgia thing i guess.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
Sorry, but many of those games were never "series." At best, like Chrono Trigger, Battle Toads and especially Killer Instinct, they were only one-shots. The companies that made them either choosing or just plain failing to capitalize on the potential franchises.
i agree with the crash unfortunatly i believe activision have the rights to him now. Baulders gate did have a sequal and have some ps2 games but to be fair we NEED the third installmend please bioware please dragons age is nothing NOTHING to what baulders gate was.
the last game in the crash series was last year.
