Support NeoGAF

[Shogun_of_Truth]

I brought up the specific tirade of tweets from the past days actually which is how I learned about it.

I'm a big Rare fan so he was super happy to talk with me.

Ghoulish cleans up nicely by the way, looks great with bumped resolution. In game stuff is wodescreen but the cutscenes and out of game menus were 4:3

Oh, my gosh. Maybe we will see Dream footage after all? God, He should just dump it and include it in the package.


Grabbed by the Ghoulies is in widescreen now? Nice, never owned an original Xbox so I missed out on that one. Can't wait to play.

 

[jet1911]

For that price the content is pretty crazy. I'm in!

 

[Tirod]

I'm sharing my phone with someone else here to watch the EA conference so I'll be MIA for an hour. I promise to answer any questions posted after the conference.

 

[ramparter]

How can Microsoft get away with charging 30$ for old games when you can get all the new Smash characters and stages for less?

 

[StarBlazers1]

Playing it right now at the fan fest. You can rewind time up to 10 sec. No more throwing the controller with battletoads

 

[Kinsei]

Hey Tirod, did you think to ask if DLC is included? I'd like to play LOG's Lost Challenges in N&B.

How can Microsoft get away with charging 30$ for old games when you can get all the new Smash characters and stages for less?

Sarcasm? This is a dollar per full game game. Nintendo would never do that.

 

[catpurrcat]

Looks like I'm buying an Xbox One.



MS crowd seemingly unenthusiastic about old Rare games?!?

We were all at home watching online

This will sell very well.

 

[muteant]

this is tempting me to buy a one.

 

[MrBS]

Looks cool. Nice price. Advertising gamescore in the trailer though. What have we become!

 

[Hollycat]

I kinda want an xbox just for this.

 

[G0523]

I will say this:

At least Microsoft is FINALLY using Rare's old IP instead of just sitting on it. Sure, it took them 13 years to do it but they finally did it.

 

[NolbertoS]

Does the replay include Wizards and Warriors 1,2 and 3?? Really wanna replay these classics. Sad that Wizards and Warriors never got a next gen upgrade.

It does not.

 

[Galang]

30 Dollars is a steal for all these games! Awesome collection

Yeah It's a great package. Day One even If I don't have the console yet.

 

[daTRUballin]

This is a really awesome collection, minus a few missing games. Looks great.

Does anybody know if Rare is handling this collection themselves? Or is it another studio?

 

[Camwi]

$30 is a steal for that collection.

 

[Robin64]

Does anybody know if Rare is handling this collection themselves? Or is it another studio?

It's Rare themselves.

 

[kamikazekoala]

Just a shame no Killer Instinct and Killer Instinct 2 (and Gold is a butchered KI2). I know you could buy them in the season of the new Killer Instinct, but I would like to have them on a disc too. Oh well, maybe they do a disc release together with the complete version of the new one...

 

[Nosgotham]

I think this is supposed to be a sarcastic joke about nintendos dlc but I'm not quite sure. Seems out of place and lacking the funny aspect required for jokes. Nevertheless it's s great deal

 

[Tirod]

I did not think to ask about DLC at all sorry. Hopefully someone from the press can answers that in the coming days.

The 360 stuff is based on the BC backend on the bone now, and it they are going to offer titles digitally, I'd have to imagine it would be available.

 

[Maxrunner]

Are they cleaning the n64 games graphically?is this pc bound too?

 

[DJMicLuv]

If I get around some time to getting an Xbox 1 I'll definitely pick this up for the Ultimate games at least! That's my childhood right there - Jet Pac to Knightlore and beyond on the Speccy.
Very decent looking comp!

Edit: I just noticed there's no Cookie, Pssssst, Trans-am or Alien8. :-(

 

[Dice]

What... I thought Nintendo owned the rights to some of these (Blast Corps)?

 

[Oemenia]

Does the preview mean that the 360 games were no ported to the XONE?

 

[Tirod]

Are they cleaning the n64 games graphically?is this pc bound too?

All the non Xbox Live remasters weren't playable yet so I imagine they are working on resolution bumps for them at the least. I was talking about JFG specifically with the rep and he said Dr hey were exploring dual analog support for that.

 

[Kinsei]

What... I thought Nintendo owned the rights to some of these (Blast Corps)?

Pretty sure Nintendo only owns the rights to the games Rare made using their own IP. Rare themselves owned all of the new IP's they made when they worked for Nintendo.

 

[jobrro]

This and Backwards Compatibility were the highlights of the conference to me.

Fantastic value, even if I am only interested in about 1/4 of the titles. Blows Virtual Console out of the water many times over in value provided the emulation is decent.

 

[terrisus]

No Pinbot, Wizards and Warriors, and Snake, Rattle, 'n Roll, no sale >.>


Just kidding. That's an amazing list of games to have all together like that

 

[ShogunX]

I want to believe, but it will suck. Microsoft can't handle a collection of 4 games let alone 30.

What does the MCC collection have to do with this one? Rare worked internally on this collection so it's not like it's been outsourced to multiple devs like the MCC did.

May I direct your attention to the bottom left of the image below.

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

I'm actually surprised this has Conker on it at all. It brings up the age rating significantly. I'm definitely not complaining though.

Shame there are no GBA games here. It would have been nice to finally try Grunty's Revenge and Sabrewulf on GBA.

 

[Leflus]

It's not like there's going to be a lot of online modes or cross-compatability between the games either. Stop & Swop is probably in, but that's it.

 

[slash3584]

This is a crazy amount of content for only 30$.

So many great games.

 

[cireza]

For 30 dollars, that's a lot of content. Very nice.

 

[terrisus]

May I direct your attention to the bottom left of the image below.

Whoops, missed that.
Still, Pinbot is the real killer.

I personally believe this will be the best game compilation ever released.

At the moment, the following games compete for that honour:

Orange Box
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World

But this has it beat. The sheer number of games, quality of many of them, and the cost all take this to the number one spot for me.

If Rare were still with Nintendo, we could have hypothetically got the Donkey Kong/Diddy Kong games too, but it's more likely that this collection wouldn't exist at all (as Nintendo would probably sooner release everything on Virtual Console).

If the full, as-originally-intended Stop 'n Swop is in there, I'm going to have to buy this and the system Day 1 just for that.

 

[Interface23]

No Battlemaniacs? Unless Battlemaniacs was a port of Battletoads Arcade...

 

[Interface23]

Fixed that for you

I would swap either of the first two on that list out for this:

Also the Mega Man Collection disc, and the Sonic collections.

 

[Sojgat]

Watching the Microsoft conference now and just got up to the reveal of this.

Pretty awesome.

 

[entremet]

It does not.

That's pretty awesome.

 

[REDSLATE]

... R.C. Pro Am?

Okay then.

Great game. It's pretty much the grandfather of all cart-racers. I'm glad to see it finally getting some attention.

 

[zeioIIDX]

Xbox One exclusive?! Fuck!!! I wanna play Blast Corps again sooooo bad but don't have an Xbox One Ah well. This collection should sell fairly well!

 

[terrisus]

Xbox One exclusive?! Fuck!!!

I mean...
Why would you expect anything else?
Microsoft owns Rare.

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

Mega Drive/Sonic's Genesis Collection isn't up there because it's missing Sonic & Knuckles lock-on functionality, which is a HUGE flaw, as you can't play Sonic 3 properly.

Zelda Collector's disc isn't up there because Majora's Mask has major crashing issues, and OoT and MM have superior versions now available on 3DS.

I don't have much experince with Mega Man games, so can't comment there.

I would add Sonic Mega Collection to the list though.

 

[Zakalwe]

Holy Shit.

Why do I not have an XO?

Still all better than either of the first two games on that list.

On the other hand, I don't like any of the games included in those collections.

 

[spookyfish]

Yeah, kinda bummed about that. But, oh well. Good games, nonetheless. Blast Corps!!
