Why no Contra collection?

It's vertical or horizontal, not TATE and YOKO.

Well I don't normally use the term TATE mode here. Right now I was only using the word because I felt like a lazy ass and tate only requires half the letters to spell vertical anyway. :p

Oh yeah, "STFU newbie" or something.

Some collections of classic games are well worth it (see: MM Collection) while others (see: Nintendo’s GBA classic series) are ridiculous. The one from Nintendo that really gets me is Pac-Man. I can pick up Nintendo's version which is just the NES rom for $20 or go out and buy the GBA Pac-Man Collection with updates and other games for $10-$15, I mean come the fuck on N!?

Amen. If a remake or newly released port of an older game I like hits the shelves, I buy it or wait for the price to drop if I think it costs too much. For fuck's sake, I just don't need to hear people bickering like little grade school children over emulation.

Midway Arcade Treasures and Namco Museum (1-5 & Encore) are the best ones I've seen. As for the Nintendo Pac-Man, I agree that was a faux pas on their part considering Namco has PMC out. Rereleasing PMC as a Players' Choice title while leaving the NES Pac-Man port in Japan would be a much better move.

Some of these NES classics that are arcade ports do need help. Where's the cement factory in Donkey Kong? Even the Atari XL/XE version has it, so Nintendo lacks an excuse especially when they're asking for a Jackson for just this game.

Nintendo should consider doing Museum format carts with several games a piece for $20. An obscene number of NES games could be crammed together into a 32 Megabit cartridge. While it's their decision, the choice they have made is highly questionable.

Perfectly spoken, I couldn't have said it better myself.

Actually, I would rather they did a compilation disc for the GameCube featuring all of their pre-NES Arcade games from Sheriff to Super Punch-Out!! At least they won't have an excuse for not including the cement level in Donkey Kong. Either that or Donkey Kong Plus.

I know I'd buy that, especially also for Radar Scope (any game that is an apparent inspiration for Juno First has got to be at least good). Unfortunately, they'd probably run into licensing hassles with Popeye- but I'd think with it being their only licensed arcade game, they should give it a shot.

One NES-era arcade game that doesn't really cut it anymore would be Mach Rider, but Nintendo could have a hot title if they made a sequel to it for GameCube.

Just an odd thought: for some reason, the default high score in DK, DK Jr. , and Radar Scope is 7650 (Namco's number). http://www.the-nextlevel.com/board/i...stom/qmark.gif
