Man, they are busting out some obscure games for re-releases. I like it as it means that there is more variety, but unless this was cheap to do and cheap to buy, I can’t see it being all that fruitful for them.
Though, as I said before, I do like the concept a LOT.
That Breakers looks really nice. I’ve never heard of that one, might be one to check out, although not the LRG version…

Did everyone remember to get their pre-orders for Breakers in? The blurb says it should arrive in December, just in time for the online to be dead. Very exciting!

I’m getting overloaded with these things.
Windjammers, Breakers, Samurai Showdown collection, NGPC collection, Wonder Boys… plus all these enhanced remaster things like Wild Guns and Pocky and Rocky and sequels like Ganryu 2 and Andro Dunos 2.
So many releases and so many are limited so you have to buy then think about if you really want it later.

That’s the kicker, wasn’t even sure about Breakers but that trick sure as hell got me.

The good part is you can sell and not lose money later in 95% of cases if deciding otherwise.

SNK has been killing it with all these NGPC releases. Hopefully there is a Volume 2 physical release.

Remember Jim Power? He’ll be coming to both modern and classic consoles soon! Will something be done about the infamous nauseau-inducing reverse parallax scrolling? Who knows!

Platforms: NSW, PS4, PS5, XBX, NES, SNES, SMD/GEN
Release date: June 2nd (digital versions)
Not that I want to buy famously poor Eurojank, but it doesn’t seem clear if it includes the Mega Drive version?

The trailer is rather vague about this (it just mentions an 8-bit version and a 16-bit version), but there’s confirmation of the Sega version’s inclusion on SLG’s website.
So no SNES version, the actual famous (and released) version.
And thus all the comments about the extreme parallax are not relevant, since that’s the version with that issue (it’s much reduced in the originally unreleased Sega version)
And yet along with this they’re releasing the SNES version again on SNES cart LMAO
