10 more games coming post launch to SNK 40th Anniversary Collection for free
- Thread starter Eolz
- Start date
This is excellent news to hear. Hoping one of those final 5 games is the very very first game they ever made. I know Frank mentioned how he was aiming to find a copy of it since it's lost media at the moment.
Loving this!! Sad the additional games won't be on cart, but glad to see them coming. The Museum content continues to look awesome, and being able to jump in in the middle of a TAS and start playing is super cool. Is there any information on vertical mode support? I saw there was an options menu, but they didn't go in it.
That's awesome to hear!! SO excited to play these, mostly for the first time. And Fantasy looks....amazing. Hahahaha
We actually have the first public prototype of Fangamers Flip Grip at our booth at PAX running 40th. Glad you guys enjoyed the panel it was very exciting to plan and do!
I'm kinda annoyed now, seeing as I won't have a complete collection of games on a single cart, post release. That is unless there's plans to have them come preinstalled in the next possible shipping, but I find something like that unlikely.
That's so awesome!! Very excited for the Flip Grip and the collection! Thank you guys for the great panel!!
Why hello again ToraShiro this is looking solid, and looked like you guys had fun. Definitely looking forward to this, have it preordered. Now that we have pre neogeo covered, if only we could get the entire Hyper Neogeo 64 collection on Switch, now there's a bunch of games without ports
Woah, this looks fantastic. They said 13 games but between arcade and NES it should be 21 total for the games there. Plus the 10 DLC games, is this final lineup?
I want a NGPC Collection.

Excited for this . Got to play it at EVO and it was a great trip back to the arcades I remember.
One of the best things about this collection to me, is that it's centered around many a game that I've really never had a chance to play.
I played a few Ikari's in the arcade, have played Athena and a small bit of Psycho Soldier, some of others on here. But a lot of this is the kind of thing I wouldn't have noticed as special way back when, or just wouldn't have been in my local arcades. So it's GREAT to get a chance at such again. I'm quite happy this doesn't include the normal Neo-Geo stuff. It really lets the tops of this particular era shine independently on their own.
And it's especially great to see Arcade and console editions included side-by-side, as well. That's a trick that's so often missed out on. I actually feel like that fact doesn't get enough mention when talking of this game. For comparison, I LOVED the arcade version of Sega's Shinobi back in the day, but really got to learn the series on the Master System version. But that version is pretty much lost to time now-a-days. (I'd love a Master System collection, y'know...)
I don't think I've ever heard of "Fantasy" before, but... I remember how much I got into Sinistar, with it's "BEWARE, I LIVE!" and "RUN!! RUN!" way back when. The voices in Fantasy would probably have stuck with me for years, if I had to chance to play it.
So... yeah, a great collection that just gets better! I don't think there's been a classic game collection like this, that I've felt has as much older games I want to actually PLAY, and not just witness, on it... since the Taito collection on PS2. Never even heard of Dungeon Magic back then, and my experience with Darius arcade had only been through magazines. I was into that, more than I was my "modern" purchases at the time. Having DLC titles to give a bit of space, to allow people to actually focus on the release, rather than just blitz through them in a one-and-done way, is perfectly fine with me, too.

I was excited when I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition. Wasn't sure after I had the order in for awhile, then got excited again more recently when I went back and really looked at what I'm getting. I'm definitely stoked for the release next week now. Eight more days!
