Yeap I'm definitely picking this up, unlike Capcom and Sega, SNK did it right by offering more for the money. There's no telling if the game will still be available on the Nintendo eShop in the future. @Rogueleader76 Well, I'm like you in this regard. I've only played Guerrilla Wars (arcade) so far, and it not only has really annoying screen tearing that was not in the original game, but there is NO PORTRAIT / TATE MODE!!!! Digital Eclipse usually does a great job of not only making these games available to play, but also supporting them with oodles of archive material: the fantastic museum mode in Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is proof of this. @YorumiTheUnemply crystalis is a great game but no where near as good as any zelda game besides the ones on cd i system we dont speak off. @Cicero You actually said, "It is like," might want to check up on your own post! Vladimir 0 … I’m still very keen on this collection. I can not wait for my copy to arrive. The problem is, there are plenty of games in here – most notably the NES ones – that it would be perfectly possible to play with a single Joy-Con, but because it’s not possible with some it isn’t an option for any: you’re going to need two pairs of Joy-Con, or one pair and a Pro Controller, regardless of what game you’re playing. You can always draw a tally mark on a paper every time you push that button, if you want to track it, right? After all, many of us can't play during long periods of time anymore, and with the Switch being mainly a handheld (or at least it's the selling point) it must have a save-at-any-point system.

I was on the fence about this one and I'm glad to hear it holds up but at $40 it's still too pricy for what you get, especially considering that the upcoming Sega Genesis collection with 20 more games is going to cost $10 less.

Play through the arcade version of Guerrilla War, for example, and you'll be able to make the most of its twin-stick control system, letting you run in one direction and shoot in the other. @Moroboshi876 I’m probably going to do it your way, assuming there is the spot-save function.

Wind Walker But are we really going to see this DLC trend stop? It quickly becomes clear upon starting, however, that SNK is underselling its compilation a little here: there's actually far more on offer.

All 74 games released by the company during this period are given their own section here, each filled with character art, promotional materials, a hefty helping of screenshots and loads of useful annotations explaining each game and giving some genuinely interesting trivia. @YorumiTheUnemply crystalis is a good game no denying that but better then zelda no just no except for the cd i ones which we dont want to talk about or even mention by name. Oh man, Crystalis is one of the best games on the NES. Can you put some examples of these emulation issues? What I find interesting about this is that while I certainly know of SNK, I never played any of their games. Truly the epitome of human skill. A badly coded emulator is a badly coded emulator. SNK 40th Anniversary Collection doesn’t have any technical issues, and SNK 40th Anniversary Collection is a little bit pricy when you break it down in terms of price per game it's a no brainer for any retro fan to purchase for Their Xbox One library. is a fun little side-scrolling brawler (the NES version has the most powerful jump-kick in the history of gaming), Crystalis is an NES adventure RPG in the Zelda vein, and fighting game Street Smart – easily the weakest in the collection – makes it clear why everyone associates SNK with the likes of Fatal Fury and The King Of Fighters instead. Oddly, two of them (Beast Busters and Search and Rescue) will be available as free DLC on the eShop, while the other nine – including quirky hungry car game Munch Mobile, brilliant run ‘n’ gunner Time Soldiers and the practically prehistoric 1980 shooter Sasuke vs Commander – will be added automatically as part of a ‘v1.02’ patch.

As an old arcade fan, this is just amazing (especially the Museum). I'll stick to ACA series, even if more expensive.
