Tons of games I've wanted to try out from before my time.
But where's Mire Mare?

Battletoads Arcade has never been on a home console, right?
Too bad they couldn't do a deal with Arc System Works to get BT and Double Dragon game.

This and backwards compatibility were the highlights of Microsoft's conference for me. Day one.
Edit: Nm, Thought you meant just Double Dragon, not Battletoads & Double Dragon

Seriously, those two things are probably enough to get me to purchase my first Microsoft console.

However you may feel about the games themselves, they're objectively weaker compilations, as they have technically inferior versions of the games.
No matter how good the games in a compilation are, I'm not going to give the compilation credit if I'd rather play them via other means.
Orange Box contained brand new games, and Metroid Prime Trilogy contained the definitive versions of the MP games, so they're better compilations.

JFG is going to be unplayable on new controllers.
I tried to get it working with a dual stick setup and it's a nightmare.

I mean, that's your prerogative I guess.
But, I would definitely take a collection of games with some issues but that I like, over a collection of games that I don't like.
Seriously, even Ninja Gaiden Trilogy would be on my list ahead of either of those two.

JetForce Gemini alone in this collection makes that collection worth it. I hope they sorta update it though with more check points because that game was so damn crazy in size. The rest of the games in the collection are just gravy to me. And Rares new game looks great too. Rare you bastards you did good

Jet Force Gemini?! Aww man, I miss that game. One of Robin Beanland's finest soundtracks.

I don't think I'd buy it just yet - never buy a console for only one game - but this is definitely first time I thought "wow, this is something I really, really want."
hopefully they did some tweaking so it'd work better with modern systems?
I think for 30 clams this is a great deal. IIRC, that how much the two Banjo games would cost by themselves on XBLA, and getting conker for OG xbox used (I think is the most affordable version) would cost more if I'm not mistaken.

Too bad Wizard n' Warriors wasn't on the list
Still, day one for this collection!

ShopTo currently has it at £18.85
Game has it at the stupid price of £49.99
Amazon at the even more stupid price of £78.02

If this means I can play Viva Pinata in 1080P... I'm buying an XBONE.

30 bucks for 30 solid classics. Wtf is rare thinking..?! They could sell it for more. 30 games is too much. No one is gonna play through all and beat them unless they have no life and/or never buy another game for a few years.

Cobra Triangle is legit awesome. One of my favorite NES games.

Really stoked for this compilation. It honestly has everything I wanted though, except the one main game..Conker Live and Reloaded. I was really hoping to play it finally andget my multiplayer on, but either way, this is a great thing. Getting it day one, for sure. It's worth it just for the 360 games.
Haha! You're right that the Yellow Car cheats, but it's not random. It's top speed increases each time an opponent is destroyed.
I just got back from work and skipped around to the most interesting bits of the Xbox conference. Aside from backwards compatibility, this collection was definitely my favorite part. Seeing that trailer hit me so hard with a love of gaming. I'm going to feel so dumb if I buy a new system just to play 30 old video games. haha
Honestly though, this is the best video game collection ever as long as they nail the emulation of the most beloved games. Yeah there's no Goldeneye, Diddy Kong Racing, DK64, and DKC trilogy, but those were never going to happen. I would be stoked to try out BattleToads, Blast Corps, Jet Force Gemini, and more for the first time.
I was disappointed hearing about the pirate MMO announcement, but at least from Rare's perspective I hope it is a game they enjoy making. Watching the video footage, there really wasn't much shown of the game. It looks like an MMO, but not really an RPG? More like a first person adventure with AC ship combat, and a lot of PVP and co-op. I would've been floored though if the pirate game was instead a revival of their ideas for Project Dream.

20 of my English pounds? Sold.
Never played any of these games but the quality is easy to see and the price is a no brainier.

I have played probably half of those games before. For all you newbies, you are in for a treat. Must plays are:
Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Tooie
Perfect Dark
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise (why bother playing the first at all? lol)
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (good game aside from my salt for it. )
Kameo: Elements of Power
Dumb to only include KI Gold and not the arcade releases.

I am in...I specifically asked for this and I will grab this for use on my future XB1.
I hope they can add to this library of games via dlc though as there's still a few titles I'd like to see like Battlemaniacs, the Wizards and Warriors trilogy, the multiplayer mode of Live and Reloaded, and maybe Battletoads and Double Dragon if they work something out with Aksys.
Also their post MS buyout GBA titles.

I know he's happy right now
hope someone confirms this, They're amazing ports
Would be nice for games that got multiple versions to have some form of toggle to let you play the version you want. Snake Rattle n Roll and Battletoads had 16 bit Genesis ports. Conker has the Xbox port. KIGold has KI2 arcade. The XBLA "remakes" of Banjo 1-2 and Perfect Dark.
