Sweet Jesus!!! Bionic Commando, 1942/1943, AND Commando?!

[Saucy Jack]

Sweet! Thanks for the info, Scorch.

There are too many classics on there to pass up. Easily worth $20!

[Epic Wolf]

It's been on the site for a while now, but good to see they finally updated the pic/info..thanx for the game list tho..sux they didnt put any of the snes games on it...

perhaps you noticed this one also:
http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/257882.asp Megaman X collection :)

[Scorch]

Yeah, i've known about Mega Man X collection, that was announced at E3, I think.. I'm super hyped for it.. for XBox, of course, but there's no date yet.. i'll cry if it isn't ported to XBox!

[The Truth]

I've been waiting on the Capcom one.... didn't know about Tecmo's, but no Nina Gaiden 1, 2 and 3?

It used to be listed for Xbox at GameSpot, but they've since removed it. We don't have it listed at work either, so unless they're planning on releasing it after the PS2 and GC versions (as they did with the first Mega Man collection), it doesn't look good. :cry:

can always keep your fingers cross for a "PLUS" or "DELUXE" set on XB ;)

I'm hoping it'll be one of those "afterthought" things. Like they did with the first one. It wasn't planned, then they woke up one day and were like "holy crap, there's fans on the XBox too!" and ported it. So i'm hoping.

[radjago]

There's a new and improved Namco collection out at the end of the month too.

I know that some of these will be arcade ports and some will be console ports. Anyone know if either of the SF Rush games will be console ports? I'd pay the money for the stunt mode from Rush 2 alone.

No Word yet on consoles, looks like its all arcade ports with some needed improvements...

Most of the games will be emulations of the arcade originals, though Hydro Thunder, for example, is a port of one of the console versions of the game. (http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/driving/midwayarcadetreasures3/preview_6124297.html)

Not all will be arcade ports, though it'd be nice if Midway went ahead and made clear on which would/wouldn't be.

[Wander2045]

It would be nice if Namco added more games to their Arcade Collection instead of using the same games over and over again.

[Ledhed]

They'll start adding new ones as soon as everyone stops buying the old ones over and over again. No matter how many platforms they release them on, they sell like crazy. You'd think that, by now, everyone in existence has some form of the Namco collection. And, you'd probably be right.

But, people will still buy this new compilation, even if it's only about %20 new content.

Sad but true. I just wonder how many rehashes we're going to get before they really open their library of games.

I see you have opted to replace Scorch...:roll:

[argyle]

I may be an oddball (and I probably am), but these are the games drawing me to the Capcom collection:

Gunsmoke (1985)
Forgotten Worlds (1988)
Trojan (1986)
Legendary Wings (1986)
Section Z (1985)

Not that I'm not interested in any of the others - but I'd say those 5 are pretty much worth the $20 by themselves.

[mtxbass1]

I see you have opted to replace Scorch...:roll:

Hardly. Nobody can replace Scorch. Both of these topics have been discussed in the past, dating as far back as April. Mods should probably combine the now 4 existing threads into this one thread.

[howlinmad]

They just refuse to release Street Fighter....

[Backlash]

Nope - I am most excited about Gunsmoke and Legendary Wings. But, of course, I already have 1942, 1943, Commando, Bionic Commando, and Ghosts N Golbins for my NES. Hmm, I've also been wanting to get Final Fight for SNES again, though.

[MaxBiaggi2]

The Capcom Collection definitely puts the other two as-yet-unreleased compilations to shame based on contents alone. Still, I hope the Final Fight port comes from the arcade or Sega CD versions and not the weak single player-only SNES port. (That would lower my interest in it considerably.)

*AHEM* That would be the weak, Guy on a separate cart-havin', entire level and Rolento-missin', gender switched punk rock girl beatin' weak SNES port.

Perhaps I'm blinded by how cool this comp looks (fucking Gun.Smoke!), but I doubt Capcom is that foolish.

I just hope they don't pull it from the game, and use it's inclusion on the new FF game disc as a selling point for the new FF, much like Midway did with MK1 on Arcade Treasures 2.

[freestylenut]

I'm all over the Capcom collection...but Super Ghouls N Ghosts?!?!? No complaints from me, but there was never an arcade version of this title was there?

What I'm trying to say is I'd rather have ARCADE versions of the likes of Ghosts 'N' Goblins, Section Z & legendary Wings as opposed to their VERY weak NES counterparts (especially Section Z...the NES version was BAD).

I truly hope that isn't the case.

[rabidmonkeys]

I will be picking those up on DAY ONE. Those are the best compilations I've ever seen released. WOHOO!

[zman73]

I have been psyched about the Capcom Collection since I found out about it months ago

Final Fight
Street Fighters, Commando, Forgotten Worlds, etc etc... will be a day one pick up for me

Wish Namco would have released more games on this collection, such as Super Pac Man as I cant find the old PSX collection anywhere

Mega Man x collection and the tecmo collections are also on my wants list, I know the tecmo one is priced at 30 (meaning Ill wait on picking it up immediately)

[swetooth9]

yea, i heard about the capcom collection in the Hardcore Gamer Magazine that i got free sub to from here ;)

[shipwreck]

In case anyone was wondering what the differences were between the old Namco Museum and this new Namco Museum (I know I was), here's the list of games.

Namco Museum
Pac-Man
Ms. Pac-Man
Galaga
Galaxian
Dig Dug
Pole Position
Pole Position II
Pac-Attack
Pac-Mania

Namco Museum 50th Anniversary
Pac-Man
Ms. Pac-Man
Galaga
Galaxian
Dig Dug
Pole Position
Pole Position II
Rolling Thunder
Rally X
Bosconian
Dragon Spirit
Sky Kid
Xevious
Mappy

The differences are mindblowing, I know.

How did you double-post 12 minutes apart?

Was the SNES version 1 player only? I must have forgotten that somehow. Screw that then.

[Apossum]

Taito has also released a few collections in Japan-- hopefully they'll bring some here.
They had some kick ass games-- Elevator Action and Arkanoid would be worth the money.



And about that Tecmo collection-- if those are the arcade versions, I'll crap my pants. I've never seen those games at an arcade before. Rygar, Solomon's Key and Bomb Jack are all very kick ass and underrated games.

[ryosnk]

Ah, oldies galore :)

[MadFlava]

Sweet, I can finally retire my copy of Final Fight for SEGA CD !
I do hope that Capcom makes another arcade collection that has Willow, Aliens vs. Predator Arcade, Street Fighter I, and Knights of the Round.

[Apossum]

street fighter 1 is fun for about 5 minutes.

I doubt you'll ever see anything like Willow or Aliens Vs. Predator on a compilation because there would be licensing issues there.

[$hady]

I saw these the other day while looking at upcoming releases. I'll definetly be buying the Capcom Collection and the Namco 50th Anniversary deal with the shirt.

[elprincipe]

MERCS!!!!

Someone had to say it.

[lupe121283]

yeah, I just want to fight Hitler again in Bionic Commando. I don't mind for Street Fighter 2 since I already have SF AC for the xbox, but it might be nice for the little nieces to know my past gaming. The 5 year old one has learned how to do her first Hadoken. :) Weird joy, I know.

[Mospeada_21]

MAT3, Capcom, and Tecmo sold!!! er, hope GC versions are available on the latter two.

Namco, same old ....... ancient classics.

[tmei03]

for the namco collection, can i get the tshirt if i buy it instore?

[Pure Apathy]

I've been waiting on the Capcom one.... didn't know about Tecmo's, but no Nina Gaiden 1, 2 and 3?

Tecmo put them on their Ninja Gaiden Xbox game.

[Rocko]

Capcom Collection and Megaman X collection will be mine.

Lots of games for only 50 bucks! Woohoo! what more could a CAQ ask for?

[Backlash]

What is a CAQ?

[LinkinPrime]

WOW i though everyone knew that this was coming out. Great collection of games on Midway Treasures 3 also.

[Epic Wolf]

What is a CAQ?

Well if you look just under your waist you should have one of them, lol

[nwaugh]

What the hell? Is Tecmo including a neutered version of Tecmo Bowl because it doesn't have the NFL license anymore?

[FaintDeftone]

I'm all over that Capcom one. Too bad they didn't make it for DS/PSP too.

[FriskyTanuki]

[gamereviewgod]

It's the arcade version. That never had the NFL's blessing. People are going to be dissapointed I think when they get home and realize it's not the same game. The arcade version is radically different.

[RedvsBlue]

I'm all about the Tecmo collection. Solomen's Key here I come!

[GreenMonkey]

Hoping for the arcade version of Dragon Spirit...from the screenshot it looks like the arcade or Turbographix version, right? NES Dragon Spirit owns, and from what I've read, the other versions are harder :D

I could see picking this up for GBA for sure. Too bad no DS release, it'd be nice to have it using the whole screen.

[Roufuss]

It's funny... the Capcom one has more games (and in my mind, better games) and retails for 10 dollars LESS than the Tecmo one.

Where does Tecmo get off thinking their collection is so great to charge 29.99 for it, when both Midway and Capcom have put out amazing collections for 19.99?

[mtxbass1]

Because they know peopel will buy it and that the "hardcore" fans will buy enough copies at $29.99 that it can be later dropped to $19.99 without much notice.

[Masterkyo]

Thought Capcom Classics Collection is the Best (1), Namco Collection (2), Tecmo Collection (3) and Midway Collection 3 (4th). Also, Mega Man X Collection coming soon.

PS. I wish Taito Classics Collection HIT the US someday cuz i am big Taito Fans :)

[Scrubking]

Wow, I don't know how I missed this. The capcom collection looks great. Too bad they didn't put SF1 on there.

Also does anyone know what that pirate game is like and if it's any good?

Is it Pirate Ship Higemaru (http://www.thelogbook.com/phosphor/2004/h.htm)?

[BigSpoonyBard]

I knew about the Tecmo one, but the Capcom one is a surprise. Definitely going to have to pick that one up!

[spmahn]

I didn't see it mentioned, but the Namco colelction has Pac-Mania, and the ungodly awesome Galaga '88 as unadvertised unlockable extras.

[Roufuss]

Did anyone get the Capcom Collection today?

Not sure if I want to make the trip to the mall tonight, I might just go tommorrow... dosen't seem like Best Buy will get this game in too, so no using any coupons =/

my excitement has died down a little bit... still not happy that they put three Street Fighter 2s on this thing, as well as three Ghouls and Ghosts games.. where is Magic Sword, or Saturday Night Slammasters?

Probably on Capcom Classic Collection Vol 2...

[Scrubking]

Yes, I got it today and it is great. 10/10

My Review. (http://scrubking.blog-city.com/capcom_classics_collection_1.htm)

[Roufuss]

Picked this off of GameFAQ's, someone said it was in the newest Game Informer... (mine still hasn't shown up)

"Capcom has delighted gamers with its Capcom Classics on PS2 and Xbox, and the PSP is getting its turn. Aside from offering old gems like 1942, Final Fight, and Street Fighter II, this handheld collection will throw in titles like Strider and Side Arms, which weren't on the compilations for the larger systems."

If true, looks like I'll be buying this twice, can't beat arcade perfect SF 2 and Final Fight on the road.

[ValkyrieVF-1S]

WTF!!!!! PSP is getting strider?! ;(

*sigh* I really wished they would put that in the console version.

There is a trailer on the console version that says it's coming to the psp, and it shows a bunch of games that aren't in the collection.

I'm sure the consoles will get these games in vol 2 or later.
