Seems like a good deal, but also seems too good to be true.
Why is it too good to be true? Sony doesn't seem to be cock-blocking any games from being released now that their focus has shifted to PS2. SNK is releasing their collections for $15 a piece, too. These are single game remakes as far as I know. Localization wouldn't be a tough job either, no?
If it's the fact that it's just a listing on CDUniverse, Senko no Ronde Rev. X was listed on there before any official announcements and that came out. Still need to get that one day...
Of these, I only played Bonk, but it's definitely worth $15.
That's true, America is getting some stuff that it missed out on like Raiden III, and it's awesome that Hudson is taking the time to give us this these old school treats. It's not that fact that it's listed on CD Universe or that Sony used to go on rampant cock-blocking rages, it's that this seems so awesome that it's too good to be true. Kind of like getting that awesome gift for Christmas and saying "This is too good to be true."
$15? Talk about 5000% profit margin. I'd much rather pay $5-6 for them on VC. More convenient on VC to boot.
These are remakes, not emulated versions. The Adventure Island remake looks like ass but I do want to try Bonk.Quote:

It has that ugly pre-rendered look but looking at videos now, it's not as bad in motion. Still, I think I will stick to New Adventure Island and Wonder Boy.Quote:

Own all of them and can safely say each is worth $15 apiece. Star Soldier looks like ass but has the classic caravan modes, a great soundtrack, and some fun score mechanics. Adventure Island feels like the best parts of New Adventure and the NES original. One flaw I did notice was a odd skip in frames here and there. Bonk benefits from the best visual style, more balanced boss fights, oddly I found collecting all the fruit in each level to fun as well. *-neo
I'm all over that Bonk remake.
No <3 for Cubic Loderunner?
the star soldier remake is underrated- it's definately worth 15 bucks
