I certainly hope there will, in any case there are more than a few fun games on here, but overall, the selection could’ve been better, and no matter who you are, you’ll be left looking at the list thinking “couldn’t they have added THIS GAME instead of something else on here” more than a few times.
#METAL SLUG PS2 UNBOXING FULL#
SNK has developed tons of fun platformers, shooters, and beat-em-ups over the years (or, has had said genres of games developed for the Neo-Geo and retained the rights, in any case), so it’s not hard to believe that a truly great compilation would be easy to make.Īnd so we are given SNK Arcade Classics Volume One, a disc full of sixteen SNK titles, stamped with a name that indicates there will be a second.

That’s not a bad thing, mind you SNK has released a ton of cool games that AREN’T part of well-established franchises, so it entirely stands to reason that they’d be able to fill several comp discs full of games that don’t star Marco and Terry Bogard, and some of them would actually be GOOD, even. Now, SNK has been making compilations of individual franchises for a few years now (not including things like the King of Fighters packs, which were moderately current at the time), with the Metal Slug, Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting and World Heroes collections that have migrated stateside in recent years (but not the KOF compilations, for reasons that could presumably be politely described as “abhorrently insane”Â), but this is their first go of a simple SNK/Neo-Geo compilation without any theme attached to it. Companies like Midway, Capcom, Namco (ESPECIALLY Namco), Taito, and Sega have been all over this idea in recent years, and with good reason: they have huge libraries they can mine, and sticking twenty or so five megabit games onto a DVD with an emulator and some concept art you have lying around costs virtually nothing and tends to pay for itself in only a few days. Nostalgia is a powerful thing old gamers love picking up their favorite games of their youth and waxing philosophical about the days “when games were good”Â, or just remembering their favorite older games, and younger gamers love seeing what all the hype is about with these old games in comparison to their hot new 3D whatever. Compilations, as you might expect, have thus become very popular ways to make easy money amongst companies who have the backing libraries to release such things, and it’s not hard to see why. Compilation discs are generally directed to three groups of people: people who’ve been huge fans of the games on the compilations for years and have been aching to play some of whatever game for months, people who’ve been hearing what a great game such and such is but never got to play it when it was available and thus are eager to try it now, and people who like cheap games, as most comps are around $20.
