Metroid Prime Trilogy is also extremely win as is Ico/SotC and Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and 2.5. I like compilations that make significant improvements to the games

I mostly played Sonic 2 and Shining Force on it. Never beat Comix Zone or Kid Chameleon.

game and watch gallery 4 was my favorite of the series because it put the lcd outlines in the inactive spots in classic mode so you felt like you were playing a real game and watch/tiger electronics style game. i would play the mario and luigi cake factory game for hours. one of the best games the gba had to offer.

The Capcom Classics Collections are pretty cool. There's a lame blurry video filter on all the games among other lesser nitpicks but overall they're a good value.

I also really loved Namco Museum, particularly the first one, it was so sick how they made the museum an actual 3d space that you could walk around in (as Pac-Man) to play games in

I loved the first one because me & my cousin played a ton of Toy Pop (which is difficult to find!) & I thought Bosconian was like the sickest
It's too bad that after the PS1 they completely removed the actual "museum" part of these, it's such a cool way of presenting the games

I have it on PS3. Not sure if it was released on any other platforms. There's close to 40 games on it and bonus interviews and unlockable games, although I can't speak very well to things like the quality of the emulation and stuff like that. Good value for money anyway

These are all on PSN (including the Japan-only Encore volume if you have a JPN PSN account) and to date some of the games included are the only official Western releases of those games in any form.

Namco Museum Megamix on Wii is pretty cool but the interface is loving annoying. You *have* to plug the nunchuk in to navigate the menus, but you'll probably want to remove it to actually play the games. It's quite irritating if you'd like to jump between several games.

The Game & Watch Gallery Series

Because game boy gallery was only released in europe/australia, in europe/australia all the game and watch gallery games were called game boy gallery 2 and 3 and stuff.. basically very hard to talk about the series across region borders. i played gbg a whole lot though
i had a lot of fun with this also. arcade perfect rainbow islands on ps2... my wallet!

Minigame collections always seem to do well and Game & Watch seems like the perfect way to release what is essentially a giant minigame comp that would work on basically any nintendo device. I wish they did more stuff with Game & Watch in general, I'm sure they won't do it because the money's in the big licenses but it'd be cool if Nintendo used their mobile partnership to release touch-based Game & Watch style games on phones (ports seems like a bad idea 2 me since the originals are so focused on immediate feedback).

I wish they'd do a HD compilation of all the dot.HACK games. I feel like I ask for this all the time.

Hat Thoughts
Jul 27, 2012
It's interesting how compilations now are primarily single game series. I mean it makes sense since I can't think of many companies besides console manufacturers & Sega that have the complete rights to a big library of older/beloved games and even then if people are just buying it for Sonic or w/e it's gonna be more profitable to sell that stuff individually (like that Sega bedroom thing that came out recently where you get the games piecemeal). I think maybe Rare Replay is the most recent prominent collection that really feels like it spans a wide variety in terms of games included but even that's still obviously missing a lot of stuff because of licensing issues.
I wonder if we won't see indie publisher compilations at some point down the road, like a Devolver Classics or Adult Swim Games Retro or w/e. I guess that experience of just getting a bunch of smaller games has been kind of subsisted by humble bundles & there's no reason to go to the extra effort to make a self-contained package when people can get the same result by buying Steam bundles or w/e but I really appreciate the experience of having stuff be sort of collected & curated together with supplementals and all that. Sportsfriends was kind of that idea where they collected local multiplayer indie games, although that's different because that was just a way to release all those games & it wasn't like there was anything beyond the games in there.

It'd be cool if there was a videogame equivalent to those Kino Lorber collections where they package together a bunch of stuff that would be ignored by itself but is carefully picked because it makes sense within the larger collection. You could have like genre bundles where you trace back mechanics/the evolution of systems/underappreciated weird stuff that came out. I guess it's probably not gonna happen anytime soon because of rights & a million other things but...itd be cool

My secret desire for Warioware is that I wish they'd do more simultaneous multiplayer stuff, I really really loved the local multiplayer they came up with in the GameCube port of the GBA game.

Hell even the GBA original had a handful of vs. minigames, with each player using one shoulder button! Chiritorie was pretty fun. They also had one vs. game in Twisted.

I have the GameCube version. It's been a while since I played it but I can't remember anything obviously bad about it, aside from the tiny GC d-pad which isn't the game's fault.
