Some of the best to ever do it! Love M2!!
(also sidenote, 20 display options???? what was I cooking)
Goodness. Beyond a Star Wars Retro Collection this is kinda the one I've wanted since forever. I mocked this concept up back when I was 18 and had no concept of game licensing. We got half of these with the MVC Collection, and now here comes the rest. Teenage me can rest now.
I've long criticised LRG's compilations but based on a recent try of the Bubsy collection it looks like they've really been stepping their game up of late. My only wish now is that @clearrivergames.com are doing a European physical release.
I had always wanted X-Men Arcade to feature in a collection but had very little idea what else they'd be able to get in there. This looks like so, so much. A variety of stuff (and of quality) but preserving the breadth of what's there is so important and so cool.
OH HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD WHAT ON EARTH???!?!?! ON A WEDNESDAY???!
The licensing stuff they must've had to clear for this.... insanity. I am incredibly excited for this one.

Sad to see this one's getting delisted, but at least it got a retail release. Not the most remarkable collection, but a neat purchase if you're a JP fan!

I really, really wish Limited Run would stop doing this. Ordered a physical copy, so expect an entry soon, but the whole point of compilations to me is making games available to people. At least this one got a retail release.
Reqlly enjoying all the Namco racers getting rereleased via Arcade Archives 2. @bandainamcoeu.bsky.social if you were to bundle them together physically I'd pay basically any price ;P
