Oh shit this is awesome.

Brazil · May 22, 2020

Didn't they add rollback netcode to Garou? I'm tempted to buy it right now now that I remembered, actually :lol

Acidote · May 22, 2020

They already gave a few of those if I remember well. Fatal Fury Special, Samsho 2 and Metal Slug 2 and 3 for sure.

Edit: Just checked. In addition to those I mentioned they also gave away Pulstar, The Last Blade, Twinkle Star Sprites and Baseball Stars 2. So there are great new additions there.

WhoaIsThatMars · May 22, 2020

I feel like I already got a bunch of these from Twitch Prime a year ago

They added rollback to Garou, Last Blade 2, Samurai Shodown V Special and KoF '97 Global Match.
BUT it's just for the Steam/GOG versions. You better make sure Twitch is giving out those versions first.

I have most of these already I think (if not from Twitch then through Steam/GOG bundles), but, hey, I'll take it.

THE FUTURE IS NOW!

Zaimokuza · May 22, 2020

I really don't understand why Twitch keeps giving out games. I get them because they're included with Amazon Prime but they're not advertised as part of the service and they have become worse with time: Twitch used to give out stuff like Pillars of Eternity and Broken Age, now it's all old, unknown or very niche titles. Furthermore, now that Epic Games gives out free games too, theirs just look like a generally worse offer. And they're not free but part of a subscription!

Yeah these are probably the emulator + rom releases they've had around for years.

if you have amazon prime do you get twitch prime? i know they gave me a free sub to any channel but i'm not sure if it includes twitch prime.

Yes. The free sub is part of twitch Prime

Adulfzen · May 22, 2020

so it's gonna be Garou with the new netcode ?

Jaded Alyx · May 22, 2020

They've given some of these out before. And I doubt these fighting games even have online and if they do, they won't be the Code Mystics versions.

Adulfzen said:

Highly doubtful.

Majik13 · May 22, 2020

so how do you get these and playable on PC only?

Once you have twitch Prime, you can claim them from the twitch website in the 'New Prime Loot' area, next to notifications. To play them, you install and launch them from the Twitch app on PC. Yes they are PC games.

ok, thanks. I have twitch Prime and have used it to get in game items for ps4 or a few months of switch online. But not for full games. So if I only have a mac then I cant play these?

I don't think so.

GuEiMiRrIRoW · May 22, 2020

Is it for switch?

chrisypoo · May 22, 2020

Pretty compelling offer. If I didn't already have the vast majority of these on a combination of Switch and Steam, this would get me to finally use Twitch Prime. I've never gotten into the Twitch thing, may end up having to check it out eventually.

Beer Monkey · May 22, 2020

Feed your MiSTer.

Agent X · May 22, 2020

I got most of these games for PC through a Humble Bundle a few years ago, with the exception of The Last Blade 2 which apparently was not part of that package.

This is certainly a great batch of games, and anyone with even a passing interest in them should snap them up.

I have no issue with that, it makes me try games that I wouldn't have otherwise bought.

Layell · May 23, 2020

I've always been interested in the SNK library since Terry released in Smash, should be fun to try out!

No, these are PC games.

skeezx · May 23, 2020

always wanted to play mark of the wolves (though admittedly never made an effort)

coolio i'll finally have it. along with other SNK stuff but as others said much of it's been given out already

speaking of which i should install and get down with fatal fury special. loved the shit out it back in the day

To be fair I have never issues with more "free" stuff, it just looks like a very peculiar way to spend their money

N2BearHugs · May 26, 2020

The first batch is up.

Layell · May 26, 2020

Yeah these are some old emu + rom versions, no controller support, set key binds, ugh.
I'm going to have to set this up with another emulator, hopefully it isn't too hard.

RumHam · May 26, 2020

no rollback netcode in this ver? :(

Ploid 6.0 · May 26, 2020

I just saw this on Twitch, omg, the nostalgia. This is awesome.

Use a game profiler like Steam Input, xpadder, reWASD, or Pinnacle? I'm going to test it but I'm sure I can get it mapped to controllers.

Works.

Yeah I have been using a steam controller since day 1, but even so, I shouldn't have to do that for something so basic. Hopefully these don't later break under a steam launcher.

You sure there is no controller support? I have been playing the other free games they released a while back and they all supported my Xbox one controller.
