That collection is so tempting! The sad thing is that I could never beat all those games in my life. I'm struggling to finish 4 or 5 in a year, let alone 30 of them.
 
Hoping we get the HD versions of Banjo-Kazooie, Tooie, and Perfect Dark (there could be an option to play the original or HD versions), but even if we don't, considering we'll be able to play the HD versions via backwards compatibility, it's worth the tradeoff to get the superior version of Conker. Live & Reloaded had pretty graphics, but it was censored to hell, the animation and art direction wasn't quite as good, and the load times were horrendous.

£19.99 is a fucking STEAL. So much so, I'm stunned they didn't charge more. They could probably have got away with asking full-price, or at least a little less than that.

Cannot wait for this.

The N64 version of Conker is the superior version. They clearly made the right choice including it over Live and Reloaded.

I think it's not really a choice here. They haven't included GbtG either - they just used their emulators for easily emulated consoles instead of putting extra work into getting Xbox 1 games to run.

Curious to know if there's any enhancements. I love conkers multiplayer in the N64 version, but it absolutely needs updated dual analog controls or it'll just be unplayable.

I wouldn't put in the effort to emulate OXBOX just for those two games either. Neither one is really worthy of a celebration package.

This collection is a dream come true. I am amazed at how cheap it is too. MS delivered big time with this one.
 
Great value. Though it creates problems for me. I was planning to get a 360 for Lost Odyssey and Rare games. I even bought a bunch of cheap Kinect games (I like weird stuff like PS2 Eye Toy and Move) in preparation for it.

With this it's smarter to wait for the collection on Xbox One something I don't plan to get for many years. Kind of also decreases the value of the 360 by a lot for me.

I wonder if Lost Odyssey will be backwards compatible.
 
This is a cool little bundle if you have a One! I don't think its a system purchase affecter though, most of the Rare games I'd think would be worth playing aren't in there.

I'm surprised Goldeneye isn't on there. I guess there might've been licensing issues? And this is the first N64 game compilation right?
