It's an obvious cash grab, but at the same time, it's a way to preserve some classic games. I believe that they should be a norm, every few generations. The biggest hurdle is licensing issues, because some companies simply no longer exist. Whether they're straight up ports, remasters with enhanced graphics and sounds, or remakes... actual remakes and not sequels masquerading as remakes... preserving the classics LEGALLY would be pretty cool. It's a shame that Piracy is doing more for game preservation than the actual gaming companies.
Nintendo is milking this by releasing the games digitally and separately... instead of having to buy NES punch-out, SNES super punch-out, the arcade Punch-out and Super punch-out separately, how about buying a single game with those 4 titles and the Wii game... with the joycons acting as the Nunchuck?
Imagine a Zelda collection with LoZ, AoL, aLttP, Link's Awakening DX, Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, and perhaps adding the BS Zelda games, and
The CDI games... I know we aren't supposed to talk about them, but they exist.In Zelda's case the DS games would be problematic to port, due to the Dual screen issue. The point is that these collections allow us to play games that were hard to find or locked to a specific region or obscure console. There are rumors of another Metal Gear collection coming up. I'm hoping that said collection gets the MSX Metal Gear Games that we saw in MGS3: Subsistence and MGS1 which was missing from the PS3 collection.
The perfect METAL GEAR COLLECTION Should have MGS1, MGS2: Substance, MGS3: Subsistence (with both original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake), MGS4, MGS: PW, MGSV:GZ, and MGSV:TPP. There could be some added bonuses like MGS:Ghost Babel, Snake's Revenge, MG Acid 1, MG Acid 2, MG: Revengeance, and MGS Portable Ops. That's pretty much all the Metal Gear games minus Survive and the mobile games.
SNK could give us a couple... between Fatal fury, Art of Fighting, and KoF; they have enough games for a couple collections. Samurai Showdown could benefit from one of these too.
Also, why haven't we received a Mortal Kombat Klassic Timeline Kollection from MK1 all the way to Armageddon!?
