I got a lot of use out of the Namco Museum on GCN/PS2/Xbox purely because they include the excellent Arrangement versions of most games in the set.

This shit was buggy as hell, both of the N64 games crashed regularly

[Anonymous No.8596390]

It's weird that this took so long to really catch on as a thing. Namco arcade compilations were everywhere from the 5th gen onwards, and some SNES games got PS ports (those were hardly retro at the time though), but for the most part it seems like it took a while for companies to start tapping into the fact that there's still a market for old games. I probably spent almost as much time playing DK arcade on DK64 as I did playing actual DK64. I would have loved a Nintendo arcade compilation. Some of those games are only really now getting ported to home consoles, like arcade Punch Out.

i guess 6th gen is when development started to become a lot more streamlined and producing compilations of emulated games were more feasible. for example there was a Saturn compilation of the genesis Sonic games and they played the same from what I can tell but if I'm not mistaken they had to be ported the "old fashioned" way meaning they basically had to convert all the code to run natively, while the mega collection was actually full emulation of a genesis

Stop watching youtubes on the subject because they didn't, zomzombo

Is this a new form of bait? I had this on launch and the emulation sucked, sorry zoomhead.

I had Mega Collection Plus for PS2. For my birthday one year my dad brought me to EB Games and told me I could get any PS2 game that was $20 or below. For some reason it's always haunted me as a purchase, I already had Sonic 1-3 and 3D Blast for Genesis. Ended up feeling like kind of a redundant game to get.
When I bought an Xbox a few years ago, one of the games I got to fill out my collection was Mega Collection Plus, it's still the best Sonic game on the console

Called Sonic Mega Collection but doesn't include Sonic CD which sucked and there was that pain with unlocking games - like starting a game 20 times to unlock Sonic 3 & Knuckles. But I had some fun with that collection because a few years earlier before I got that game I had sold my original Mega Drive and with it all Sonic games.

correction: Street Fighter Alpha Anthology didn't come out on Xbox (Xbox can emulate the CPS2 games anyway)

Ironically gamecube animal crossing is closest we got to a Nintendo retro game collection

[Anonymous No.8598349]

>>8597903
it's never been considered a problem by anyone who played it

[Anonymous No.8599185]

What's interesting is Animal Crossing had like 20 NES games you could play, suggesting Nintendo had a fully functioning NES emulator for GC, and yet they barely took advantage of it.
Metroid Prime also had original Metroid as an unlockable.

[Anonymous No.8599426]

>>8599185
It was supposed to have Super Metroid, but Nintendo was being cunts about Retro not using an official emulator.

Based Nintendo. If you can't do it legally then don't do it you fricks!!

The Namco Museums on the PS1 were the best one though, just for the supplemental content alone.

that reminds me, didn't someone figure out that the ROMs in virtual console NES games had iNES headers meaning Nintendo just downloaded them from a typical rom site
not that they aren't within their rights to do that, but it's kind of funny to think Nintendo just went to romhustler or wherever everyone else pirates their shit for an official rerelease

Castlevania Rondo+SotN, packed with a shitty remake nobody played

[Anonymous No.8600143]

>>8600129
I really don't know what they were thinking with that remake
>let's take this tasteful pixel art that has aged well, and replace it with PSP tier 3D models
Why? Who was this for?

It's a shame those arranged versions were not re-released again

Why most of these compilations use 480i instead of 240p when the GC and PS2 can output 240p just fine? It looks much better too.

MM crashes regularly on this version. With the save system hours of playtime can be lost, making this unplayable.

[Anonymous No.8600345]

>>8597705
isn't this one of the worst collections of all time?

[Anonymous No.8600390]

>>8600152
There's an upcoming Pac-Man collection with Arrangement, but yeah, there should be a bundle with just every Arrangement game. I'd buy that on Switch.

[Anonymous No.8600406]

>>8598089
Those 3 were nice
Gems collection had "achievements" that were tied to art, music and extra games unlocks
Anniversary and X had some unlocks on each games completions, including extra games
You don't get this kinda shit nowadays

[Anonymous No.8600436]

I guess the GBA NES Classics series counts as 6th gen. In retrospect, strikes me as a ripoff. You probably could have put all of those games on one cartridge.

[Anonymous No.8600843]

>>8597925
Yeah, it's pretty much the entire selling point of Gems Collection. I love Sonic R but Mega Collection is much more worth the money

[Anonymous No.8600876]

>>8600159
Each compilation is only as good as the amount of effort put into it. Rule is same as old, there's been shitty compilations of older games since the 80s.

[Anonymous No.8600905]

>>8600843
They really should have thrown Nights in the Gems Collection. Sonic CD, and a bunch of Sonic games that no one really cares about is a hard sell after Mega Collection

[Anonymous No.8601008]

>>8600345
The framerate is a little rough, but the collection is definitely playable. Plus it actually fucking has Sonic 3 & Knuckles perfectly intact unlike modern compilations (though Sonic Origins is going to break that awful streak).
It's Sonic 1 on GBA that's notorious for being terrible.
