This week, Namco Museum for Nintendo Switch is coming out. But most of its games are just the same old 2D 1980s stuff once again, the games already included in so many of their compilations. Ho hum.
Here's a question: would you spend your money on a brand NEW Namco Museum compilation, one that broke free of the 1980s and seriously focused on some of their fantastic output from the 1990s? Like, the games that started the 3D revolution along with Sega's.
I'm talking about Driver's Eyes. StarBlade, and Air Combat, and CyberSled. The original Ridge Racer trilogy including Rave Racer. Alpine Racer and its sequel. Prop Cycle. Rapid River. Motocross Go. Not all of them are classics, but they were each amazing for their time and played well.
Tokyo Wars with LAN support. Just think of how amazing that would be.
The original Time Crisis and Point Blank, each with PS Move support, finally arcade-perfect on console for the first time. Maybe the second entries in both series, while we're at it.
Throw in the first few Tekken games and Soul Edge because why the hell not? They are, of course, part of that history as well.
I'd pay $40, or $50, or $60 day one for this, easily. And I'd pay it again if Sega released a similar compilation with their Model 1, 2, and 3 stuff. Even just the more popular of those games would be fantastic.
What about you guys? Would you spend your hard-earned money on this theoretical thing? Or do you not have as soft of a spot for these games as I do?
