Yeah, no SNES version for modern consoles, it seems.
Such an odd release, this one.

A heads-up for all you Pac-Fans out there: Pac-Man Museum+ is available now! I’m downloading it as I’m typing this.
Bandai Namco has released a charming launch trailer to celebrate this joyous occasion.
Six more Neo Geo Pocket titles are rumoured to be heading to the Switch!
The titles in question are:
That has to mean a second collection, right?
Seems likely, yeah.

What versions of these games are they? Arcade? MegaDrive? SNES?
Those are all arcade versions.
Interesting! So the device has multiple emulators on it? Or are they present on each cartridge?
Good question! I’m not sure, but I think the emulators are on the device itself and can be updated via firmware.
Jaleco Gameboy spook 'em up Avenging Spirit is getting a physical re-release by Retro-Bit.
Release date: TBA
Kinda off-topic, but the American box art of the original release is hilarious.
Never heard of this game. The music is lovely.
I’m a fan of Jaleco - they made some rough stuff but they were ambitious and original so I let them slide. Pinball Quest is an all time favorite of mine despite its issues.
Not a wonder I didn’t recognize the game at all when I saw it announced!
Yeah, they made some fun games. Coincidentally, I’m playing The Peace Keepers at the moment. While it can’t compete with the likes of Streets of Rage, I’m having a pretty good time with it.
Peace Keepers is super solid. It’s the best of the Rushing Beat games. I have the Super Famicom version.
I want that Toaplan Arcade collection!
Namco’s bump 'em up Motos is this week’s Arcade Archives release.
Release date: June 9th
I love Motos, got it as part of Namco Museum Battle Collection on PSP, which was programmed internally by Namco themselves. Wonder how this Arcade Archives version will stack up against it.
