This is far from a bad collection though. Is it up to the standards of the MAT series? Nah, but it's still better than many collections we've seen. Plus, this will likely lead to a Namcollection 2, and so on and so forth, which should please more folks here.
Face it, the collection sucks. Be honest. It's okay not to like it.
It seriously needs more games. The Rolling Thunders MIGHT have caught my attention, were they in this.
Such as? Like I said, this isn't a bad collection because of the number of games or anything, it's bad because most of them are just inferior versions of series that are still very much alive. I mean, who actually wants to play the original Tekken these days?Quote:

FX, I don't think the collection sucks. I think it'll be worth the likely $20 just for Mr. Driller and Klonoa, and the museum stuff should be nice. Could it be better? Sure, but I'll take fewer games done well over 20 with some being screwed up (like the MATs). I will say that this collection seems underwhelming considering that Namco put the arcade versions of Tekken 1-3 on Tekken 5 as a bonus.
collection games are getting very tired!
You're missing the point of collections and nostalgia.Quote:

Ditto! They've already deprived us from a perfect Rolling Thunder port by not releasing Namco Encore in the US.Quote:

Hell, at the very least they could've ported the original Arcade versions of the games.
But we're not talking about Ms. Pac Man or Galaga, which are still unique and worth playing, or Street Fighter II which is different enough from the games that followed that it's still worth owning even if you've played the Alpha or III games. Tekken, Mr. Driller and Ace Combat II don't offer anything, at all, that you can't find in the later games done better. Ridge Racer is arguable on this, and like I said, Klonoa actually makes sense.Quote:

I dunno. As far as I'm concerned, this is just a re-release of Klonoa (which is a good thing) with some extra shit as a bonus.
Knock it off. Keep the personal attacks in FC, please.Quote:
