SEGA's game catalogue has been a bit naff after the Xbox 360 and PS4. Stop those Mega Drive/Genesis collections and move onto arcade classics, some which never got released on consoles. Not sure what's happened to the new Crazy Taxi and Golden Axe etc., but the likes of Virtua Racing, Super Hang On, ESWAT and maybe even Alien Storm are due sequels.
So poor from Sony. I like the grey anniversary consoles, but not the price and the limited run which then ups the price. I thought Sony would've released a collection with launch games from 1994/95. Back in 1995, a £300 console and £50 tops for games, I didn't get to play all the launch games, maybe some didn't launch in Europe.
You can pick this up for around £20 used on PS5 and Series X.
Buy a game on disc/card, code in a box, download it off some website, then these key cards come along. I don't see the point when there's code in a box etc. out there. Is Nintendo trying to keep collectors happy? I wonder what the cost difference is between code in a box and key cards?
At £65 on Switch 2, £25 on Series X and PS5, the Switch 2 version just isn't worth it.
Downloading games is just rubbish. I have the game on the Series X, the full game is on the disc, on the PS5, the extra content is a download code. £25 ($33) on both formats, £65 ($87) on the Switch 2. As soon as the Switch 2 version was released, the price was tipping £40 ($53) on Series X and PS5.
Will be hardly anything in it between both versions.
I agree. The balance is way off.
It's £55 f($75) or the Switch version in the UK, think I'll have to pass until it drops in price.
An Xbox 360 game now running on current consoles. Why not a Gears of War collection? Although, even that's a bad idea.
Just when I thought CAPCOM was going to change the record with the gameplay, I soon realised that wasn't the case. Finding keys and batteries, when will it end?
Same old, same old graphics and gameplay wise, looks decent if you can pick it up for around £20. SEGA's other games have gone missing. I've lost hope of a new Virtua Racing, ESWAT and Alien Storm. The last Outrun released on current consoles rumoured, as long as it includes the exclusive Xbox tracks. A Shenmue collection is overdue. SEGA collections seem to be obsessive with the same Mega Drive games.
As I've been saying for the last few years, gaming is heading for destruction. Pricing has got way out of control.
I wouldn't say it was a solid launch. What's holding it back in the UK is the price, including the price if games topping £75 ($100). Some retailers have already started to discount.
I agree!
It doesn't look too good to be honest. Apparently, Nintendo 'commissioned' this over the likes of Wave Race and F-Zero. Are Kirby games really that big in the US and Europe? Anyone seen how much the GameCube version now sells for? The cost of retro gaming is far worse than the cost of current gaming.
Maybe 700,000? £100m spent, maybe some of the staff are paid too much.
Not enough of these collections. SEGA somehow keeps knocking out Mega Drive collections with the same old games.
I remember Mortal Kombat on the Mega CD, sharper graphics and faster than the Mega Drive version. Usually ended up with Mega Drive version of these arcade conversations as Super NES games cost more. I thought the green blood in the Super Nintendo version was comical. I've watched comparison vids over the years and the Mega Drive version held up well against the Super NES version when you consider the Mega Drive was tech from 1988. Loved all the arcade conversions on the 16 bit console...
Please, no RPGs. Sick of all these SEGA games for the Japanese market.
