A few days ago, Konami registered a game on Australia called 50th Anniversary Collection - Arcade Classics, you can read about the game here.
The page does not tell you much else than that, but some kind of Arcade Collection from Konami seems to be underway.
Hopefully they can secure right for some old TMNT-games, and and more.
I personally hope for some Castlevania titles as well.

 

[KOMANI]

It’s going to be the non rare games like frogger, twinbee, pooyan.
I would love for it to include the Contra arcade games, Aliens, GI Joe, Asterix.

Konami certainly have a solid history of remasters.

 

[Ozrimandias]

No TMNT, No Xmen......
Probably Sunset Raiders, Contra, Parodius, Frogger, Haunted Castle Track & Field among others

Errrr....but Konami didn’t remaster the SH2 & 3. That was Hijinx Studios.

I know. Still worth noting.

Most remasters was done by 3rd party. I don't believe Konami has ever done one in house.

 

[angelic]

My point is they're cheap.

That has nothing to do with cheapness. That has to do more with losing/throwing away the source code and their fonts that they used.

Yep, from what I read, Hijinx had to work off an earlier build because the final source code was lost.

So you're saying the terrible sh collection, handed off to an inexperienced mobile developer, that wasnt patched on 360 to avoid the fee, that couldnt even use a ripped pc texture or even a photographed image of the iconic silent hill sign so therefore used comic fucking sans, had nothing to do with being cheap? In which case, you cannot be helped.

Why does everyone feel they need to win debates on these forums? You’re doubling down on a statement that you’re wrong on. On top of that you end off your statement with a dickish remark. I provided you video evidence why the font is wrong in the hd collection. But go on man, continue thinking you’re all righteous. I’m not wasting my saturday arguing with you.

 

[angelic]

You're wrong but it's fine.

I know little of programming, but fonts surely can't be hard to re-create

Dont tell me, tell hijinx studios

 

[GrayFoxRJ]

I hope they also prepare an Hudson Collection

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

A Twinbee game, a Contra game, Axelay, a Gradius, a Parodius (Sexy, please), and Xexex would be wonderful.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

If this game is included, it will take longer to beat this game than all the other ones in the collection combined!

 

[93xfan]

I hate the Contra arcade. It’s just so vastly inferior to the NES game in terms of gameplay. Is there a reason why we can never get the NES version, even on Nintendo Consoles?

Also, wish we got some TMNT arcade games, without the redone character select art, like on 360. I’d pay $30 just for those two games.

oh hell i totally forgot about bayou billy, loved that game back in the day!

That game was so hard. Never finished it. I googled the stages and the farthest I made it was stage 7.

Roc ‘n Rope and Pooyan = day 1 purchase.

 

[DW74]

Of the ever-diminshing number of old game houses, few have the stable of IPs that Konami does. Maybe Capcom.

It's just a shame they don't do anything with them and haven't for a long time.

 

[SALMORE]

probably just 80s stuff , like the recent SNK collection but i hope they add some 90s games like Sunset Riders & Martial Champion
