The Switch is an incredible arcade machine! The ACA archives is my preferred way of getting old fighting and action games from the Neo Geo era, such as Metal Slug, Samurai Shodown, KoF 98, 2002, Last Blade, Garou, Fatal Fury, etc. They go on sale a couple of times a year. Hours of fun!
So many that you list, I have. Ray’s Collection, Capcom Arcade vols. 1 and 2, SEGA ages games, NeoGeo classics… I, too, love arcade games. I recently bought Shinobi by SEGA Ages. They stopped the ability to get it through the eShop, so I went onto Amazon and ordered the code. It still worked and I have been enjoying this classic ever since. I’m also enjoying the hell out of Space Harrier. Thanks for an amazing video.
@brichan1851 Yup, picked up a code via best buy. Best buy and Target seem to be the last two that have codes for it. Amazon is all sold out now though. Thank you for letting me know about it being delisted!
Centipede and millipede are my favorite classic arcade games. I like the color pallette swap and the game design. It has a sort of ecosystem happening in the game that makes the game feel dynamic. Shooting the bugs spawn mushrooms, spiders wash them away, poisoned mushrooms happen which changes up the flow, etc. It just all flows real nicely
The Arcade Archive version of Donkey Kong is a must for any classic arcade lover. You can play in verticals Tate mode too. If your an enthusiast an investment in Tate mode grip is priceless. You get so much more usable screen real estate on games that have the ability, especially shooters.
You did an awesome job summarizing all these games. Most I already own, had no idea Black Widow would be a game I wanted to check out and definitely going to check out virtual racing now!!!!Thanks again
Great video for arcade games on the switch. I myself really started my gaming in the arcade with Pong, Scramble, Space Invaders, Phoenix Sheriff, Commando, Sky Kid, Track & Field (which is not very good to play on your Switch) and any Atari games. It was probably the best time for innovation in gaming. I so miss gaming in arcades so I love replicating those experiences on my Switch. Just wish they would release Popeye on the Switch. Oh and as for Donkey Kong I tell everybody to get the arcade archives version on the switch it is the only way to play it.
It's great to see someone else that shares the same love for these games, Outrun, Sunset Riders & Mystic Warriors are some great ones as well as the vast selection of Neo Geo games
Love me some Neo geo games, same for Sunset riders. I see they released an arcade archives version of Mystic warriors, I definitely have to try that one day, heard lots of great things about that one!
Couple things I noticed -- 1. The PC Engine CD port of Wonder Boy III: The Monster Lair got left out from the Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection. 2. All the S-Tribute games, including the Puzzle Bobble 2 and 3 shown here, have input lag of six frames.
I'm not sure how 6 frames of delaly would be detrimental to a game like Puzzle Bobble. My feelings about frame delay is simple: if you need to pull out tools to measure it, and you can't eyeball it as a problem, it's not really a problem.
20:49 Small correction, the ACA NeoGeo version of Puzzle Bobble 2, still calls it Puzzle Bobble 2, it was only the Taito F3 System version of the game that changed its name (to Bust-a-Move Again, removing Bub and Bob entirely). Another small note, the Capcom Arcade Stadiums each have 32 games (1 built into the free app and 31 that can be bought piecemeal or in say a 40 US Dollar bundle). 22:02 The unlimited credits option only being a thing for 2X/Arcade Edition since 3 has infinite continues from the offset.
Would love to see that game come back. The company that owns it Universal (not the movie/TV company a different one) really needs to get off it's butt and start rereleasing that and the other games they own again!
@@eelobrian6727All of the Arcade Archives games can be flipped vertically. (Even games that aren't vertical!) Atari Flashback allows the vertical flip, but Atari 50th is still better. And Namco Museum allows vertical mode, but Pac-Man Museum does not.
The games your showing can be purchased also on the PS4 Xbox one I like earning achievements trophies 🏆 also Nintendo thinks their still in the 80’s they haven’t upgraded their console since Sega stopped making consoles Sega was always ahead of Nintendo
The Sega AGES lineup of games is exclusive to Switch. The Arcade Archives game are NOT on Xbox. And the Nintendo arcade games are obviously exclusive to Switch.
@@thinkhectordid you watch the entire video cause I don’t think you did not everything is exclusive to Nintendo not everything that was in the in the video was exclusive to Nintendo besides Nintendo is destroying their own consoles that’s as powerful as the switch the Wii and Wii U are as powerful as the Switch they could of added Zelda breath of the wild on the Wii and could of added tears of the kingdom to the Wii and Wii U but didn’t the reason Microsoft didn’t add gears of war on the original Xbox or gears 2 gears 3 is cause the console isn’t as powerful as the 360 the same for PS3 Nintendo is known to be the weakest console without Sega here Nintendo doesn’t give a care
@@thinkhectorthe arcade achieves is a waste of money they are free to play on mame 32 on your PC since Nintendo doesn’t give achievements no reason to go spend money on their games like Donkey Kong
@@mikekanner2156 Nintendo Switch: 140 million sold. PlayStation 5: 60 million sold. Xbox Series X: 28 million sold. It seems like the entire world disagrees with you about which console is their favorite.
@@mikekanner2156 The Arcade Archives killer feature is the online leader boards. Since most arcade games are just high score chasers to begin with. Even though I have these games on MAME, I have put way more time into actually playing them because I like chasing my score in the games. For example, I have played "Metal Slug 4" countless times. Not until the arcade archives release did I ever realize the game had a unique scoring system. Nor was I ever interested in a high score in the game.
What I want is the 6-player X-men game on Switch! That would be awesome! Then there's The Simpsons from Arcade I want on the Switch! I remember there is a Teenage Mutant ninja turtles collection on Nintendo Switch, but I haven't got it so far...
I would love to see X-Men game make a comeback. It was available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 a long time ago, so there's always a chance. The TMNT Cowabunga collection is great, definitely worth picking up.
@@KaijuClub I seriously need to see that 6-player X-men on Nintendo Switch! It would be the perfect addition for an arcade collection! If I remember, Konami was the company behind it, and made it work with character designs from the comics, and the "Pride of the X-men" spinoff which got a VHS release. Konami should do a re-release of it's arcade hits. X-men, The Simpsons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and so many more! That would be awesome! I do plan to get the Cowabunga collection for both PC(Steam) and Nintendo Switch.
@@KaijuClub Homer, Marge, Lisa, and Bart all playable. The whole game was made with the aim to save Maggie Simpson who ended up catching a diamond, because apparently Smithers had stolen a diamond for Mr. Burns. Back when that game was made, it was considered fine to assume Burns having Smithers stealing stuff as an acceptable way to continue to raise his fortune. The Simpsons games back then were wild. I loved the 6-player X-men, but I'm not about to waste my money on a PS3. I haven't been able to find the ROM for 6-player X-men though...
One arcade game sorely missing on the switch is Crazy Taxi. Why Sega has not done a port is kind of insane to me. They are leaving money on the table. Get to it Sega.
Loved the Donkey Kong video, I will pick that up. I find that modern controllers don’t always work well with certain games. I WISH we had a paddle (like the ones for the Atari 2600) controllers for games like Arkanoid.
@@josesavant yup, just like I talked about in the video, those two shown are from the Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection. It has a ton of wonder Boy games included. It's pricer then the original collection that just had 4 games, but far better. The Anniversary collection is what I prefer.
Did you notice the massive input lag in the Switch version of Vs Super Mario Bros? It’s unplayable for me on Switch. Hamster’s other ports are fine though. Love Rygar, Rastan, Ghouls’n Ghosts, Black Tiger, Psycho Soldier, Rainbow Islands, Rolling Thunder, Shinobi and New Zealand Story 👍🏻
I haven't really felt input lag or so with that one, when compared to how I played the arcade game before. The arcade version might have a little bit of a different feel, when compared to the NES one. But from comparing this release to the how I played the arcade game before, it seems similar in input timing. But that's just me, so don't take it as a fact. All those games you listed are fantastic games, good stuff! Speaking of Rastan they are finally gonna complete the trilogy by releasing warrior blade soon!
@@KaijuClub Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to the third Rastan game. I have been collecting all of the ultra widescreen arcade games. The ones still missing are "Atari TX-1," "Buggy Boy," "X-Men," and "Ridge Racer: Full Scale." Also, I have VS. Super Mario Bros. Seems fine to me. Maybe only 0.1% if speed runners might notice something. But most people will not.
@@thinkhector It would definitely be cool to see rereleases of those ultra widescreen games. I know Darius II got it's 3 screen version released within the last year. Would be cool too if Namco did rereleases of some of their early 3D stuff as well. Kinda surprised they haven't really done that a whole lot considering all the Namco Museum releases over the years
Ghost N Goblins is the only game I can't beat without a Game Genie. Without it, if I am extremely lucky, I might just beat the first boss before Game Over. With the Game Genie I just turn on unlimited lives. There is a code for invincibility as well, but that makes it too easy. At least with unlimited lives if you do die you get sent back to the last checkpoint.
Yeah, those Ghost 'n Goblins games are brutal in difficulty! Beyond the arcade version, I've played the NES and Gameboy Color versions (which I still have) and while I haven't beaten the NES version, I know for sure I beat the Game Boy version years ago. Maybe I should attempt the NES version again some day.
I wish nintendo would fix their shitty shop where these games were easy to find instead of mixing all these trash scam games they have mixed in with their inventory
Centipede, if you think about it, is a perverted game. The snake that you shoot are all heads since if you shoot it in the middle then you have two snakes. So if you think about it when they are in snake form, all the other heads have their heads shoved up in the ass of the one in front. Gross if you ask me.

Outrun will always be one of my favorite arcade games. I remember having to sit on that chair and drive.
The Sega Ages release of Outrun is really, really good. Will probably include that one in a future video, M2 did a great one with that
@@KaijuClub I need to get that at some point but I never did because I have the 3ds version

Hamster Corp. sure has done a good job bringing all those awesome Neo Geo games to the switch. So many classics to choose from!

Oh wow, I didn't know the delisted shinobi! I'm gonna go buy a code for that one right now.
@@KaijuClub did you get it?

@@KaijuClub ❤❤❤ We’re all in this together. I WISH they’d release a SEGA Ages collection. I’d buy it whether American or import!

The Tate mode grip is nice. I want to pick up a mount for my one monitor so I can rotate it sideways for games that I have Tate mode.
You did an awesome job summarizing all these games. Most I already own, had no idea Black Widow would be a game I wanted to check out and definitely going to check out virtual racing now!!!!Thanks again
Thank you! Definitely check out Black widow when ya can, and have fun with Virtua Racing!
Black Widow Recharged is my favorite of that series. Looks so good on the Switch OLED too.

I really hope that one day Popeye does get a rerelease. That's one is a really cool arcade game!

Same!

Would love to see that game come back. The company that owns it Universal (not the movie/TV company a different one) really needs to get off it's butt and start rereleasing that and the other games they own again!
I really wish the Switch had a vertical mode like on the Atari Lynx. That would be perfect for a lot of the early coin-op stuff.
Some of the games do offer a Vertical Mode (Tate Mode). it's pretty cool with the flip grip accessory, or if you have a monitor in a vertical layout.
@@KaijuClub oooh fun! I didn't know that!
