You know those big collections of games from one publisher or series or somethin? Stuff like "SNK Arcade Classics" or "Atari Anthology"? I guess there's less now, probably because rights stuff is weird & it's easier/more profitable to release older games individually through download services but they were especially big during the Ps2/Gamecube/Xbox era and I was wondering if any of you had some u really dug? "Midway Arcade Treasures" was my favorite. A lot of ppl prefer Arcade Treasures 2 because its got more well-known classics (Mortal Kombat 2 & 3, for example) but the thing I always dug about those game collections is when you get to play something you wouldn't otherwise. Stuff like Bubbles, Satan's Hollow & Toobin' were the kind of games I'd never play otherwise & having them on the collection was sick. The other really cool thing was that almost all the games came with a lot of supplemental stuff like interviews/cabinet art/etc. (Ed Boon talking in front of The Grid ftw), one I always remember is the interview with the Sinistar guy where he talks about the glitch to get a ton of lives. I tried to do it all the time but I could never get it right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0rsDquEZKg

In Training posted:Check out Burnout 3: Takedown OP. I had like everything else so I played Burnout 3 on the Xbox kinda obsessively, me and my dad would play Crash mode all the time. Eventually I got a downloadable copy for the 360 & played it to completion a couple times because the save got corrupted after I'd finished once.

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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K0nlaHXjnI 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 Hat Thoughts fucked around with this message at 11:03 on Oct 29, 2016 |

elf help book posted:game and watch gallery was such a good series, i keep hoping they'll release a new giant one 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).

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 Evil Eagle posted:The lack of a new warioware on 3ds is a crime. 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.
