Ah nice, I'll be looking out for this.



"Switch is the only platform for this" disappointed me a bit at first, but then I saw the list of games and my disappointment quickly passed.



Not even one king of fighters game. No buy for me

Well, the compilation is specifically pre-Neo Geo.

At 1st glance, those games don't really seem appealing, but maybe some of them are fun. Also, I hope that box art isn't the final one. I'd hope it at least has something on it.

feels strange not recognising a single game name there.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I've heard that Crystalis is good.



Only ever heard about Ikari Warriors, thanks to AVGN.
That's not a good sign though, seems unplayable without cheating.



Wonder what games will be added, and what updates will be made to them. Really hope they use the arcade version for Ikari Warriors, the NES version has not aged well at all. To say the least.

Why is that? That's a pretty solid list of games from the pre NEO-GEO era. It even has SNKs best game of all time on it, Crystalis. What games would you like to see added that werent on the list as of now?
