“Old ass games of an arcade nature.” Great summary!
Old school arcade games easy to jump in easy to jump out takes time to build skill and treat patients and effort to become a master still some of the truly hardest games to this day and then you got Nintendo hard but that's a whole different category on the NES
Druaga's pace picks up once you find the chest with the speed boots in stage 3. It's a good game, but can be quite obtuse in how you can finish it. Chests sometimes require doing weird things to get them to appear, and some have negative items in them.
Good to know , to stage thrrreee.
Wanpaku Graffiti is a masterpiece.Unmissable collection!
It's the only reason I'm gonna get it (when the office goes down a little)
Not sure what it is , but curious and supporting the channel!
Hey, thank you very much indeed 😃
I’m most interested in Splatterhouse that ranges from $30 to $150 on eBay for the Famicom cartridge 😔. That said, Pac-Man CE is pretty cool to be NES-ified
Hey it's worth the buy if you imported or get it on eBay make sure you get it with the stickers if you do decide to grab it though I got mine completely CIB except I knew ahead of time but it was missing one sticker on the sheet it's awesome now if you're familiar with The Binding of Isaac they're obviously paying tribute to those stickers in the famicom games North American versions had posters but I'm sure you could already know that knowledge I'm just babbling
Thank for the review. I ordered this from Playasia but still waiting on it as I also ordered Mr Driller and that doesn't come out until the 25th.
Thanks Jason. Hope you enjoy the games!
In case you want to know about Xevious is that in the Namcot Collection, there is a collection called NC and it contains the Xevi numbers and the third wallpaper has mostly Xevious characters. If you want to know more about the Xevi numbers, letters, and language; I’ll be more than happy to share the link with you. Nice video btw!!
i really don’t know why they wouldn’t release the whole collection physical everywhere
Probably no faith in how well it would do
SwitchWatch yes, like so often i guess
Looking forward to playing Pacman Championship edition also. Thanks for the review 😊😊😊
You’re welcome buddy! Still playing PacMan CE even after I finished the review. So much fun!
Excellent, thorough review. Thanks!
Glad you found it useful buddy 😊
Thanks for making me feel old. Seeing Battle City made me remember that I am ancient and I'm 34...
Awesome review tho!!
Tell us about it m8 we are all there with ya!
I played Battle City when I was about 6 years old, on a chinese bootleg Famicom that contained actual Japanese games. Battle City is all about protecting your HQ and use your tank to destroy enemy tanks, it can get intense for an 8-bit game. There is also a SNES version, with improved 16 bit graphics.
I remember Pac Man and Galaga. Some nostalgic people will enjoy this.
Fine/10 Hahhahaha!
🤣👍
Thanks for the great review. The only flaw with the collection is the lack of a button reconfiguration option, forcing me manually remap the Switch's controller.
Nostalgia is a lucrative industry... and I get it... but the prices for these old games, as iconic as some are, is beyond the pale.
The only game that has a save feature in Namco Museum Archives Vol. 1 is Pac-Man Championship Edition 1.
In case you haven't already been told, that Atari science-fiction shooter was called "Star Raiders." And I'm pretty sure Star Luster is the real deal; I remember hearing about it in the past.
There is a Japanese and Asian version as well for physical are they the same or different?
I believe the Asian version was just a placeholder. Seems like only Japanese version now.
How many releases of Namco's prehistoric stuff will we see? This is the N iteration of Namco's museum with different names, pretty much like Sega Ages'. Where's a museum with Tekken or RR?
Considering they accidentally released games currently unannounced already, I would expect quite a few more in the future
I have Star Luster and it is indeed pretty cool.
Tower of Druaga isn't that bad, just archaic. You can speed up the hero with a hidden powerup in the second floor. Kill two black blobs and a chest will appear. What's wrong with the famicom version of Galaga? It's pretty much identical to the arcade version.
The only Namco game that I always wanna to play is Cosmo Gang: The Video. That game is brought you by the Galaga franchise. Along with this arcade attraction game, Cosmo Gang.
I bought the Japanese physical. It only came with volume 1 I thought it’d come with every game. I feel like it should’ve. The play Asia reviews are a bit confusing since the reviews say it came with 38 games but I assume they bought all of it on the eshop afterwards. Guess I’ll have to do more research next time
Yes the physical version only comes with 10 games
Thanks! Wasn’t sure if I wanted to grab this. Was looking forward to your review.
Emojis next? I give Blacksad 💩/10.
Hehehehehe Love it buddy, why the hell not!
After buying these on sale recently, I was horrified to find that they were not the arcade ROMs.
First you think the prices are too high,,then you buy them on sale and you're "horrified" they aren't the arcade ROMS. Damn Dude.
So no rally x? I really want to play that game again, they need to release the namco museum 50th anniversary or something similar to it
I have one pacu graffiti on famicom probably going to order this for my switch when I'm done watching your video because that's the main reason I want it. But there's definitely a bunch of other stuff on here I want even though I have a lot of these NES cartridge and such
If you import this, do you need a Japanese nintendo account to buy the dlc? Or do you only get what's on the original cart
Did the physical JP release of the collection ever get an update with the new titles that were added, like Megami Tensei? If not, it doesn't feel very worth it.
3:40 you can tell he only played the first two floors and didn't get the chests
Since I played many of these old games back in the day, I've had my fill of those limited 8-bit games... I realize their importance, but this is a super EASY pass for this title... All that being said, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE new pixel art games, because I still appreciate the retro visual style... however, I just much, MUCH prefer the new gameplay.
That is a very valid point...don’t fall for the nostalgia buy if you know you really won’t play or get your money’s worth
I was just playing Pacman on PS4 after the FFVII Remake.
5:26- Are you serious? LOL 😆
7:46- I wish the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary and Contra Collection has more than one Saves for each games. 😑
You’d think with such simple games, multiple save files wouldn’t be a problem
I imported the JPN one to collect and DLed Vol. 1 for the US.
Look, if you go into this knowing that you are spending $20 for the PacMan CE demake, you'll be fine. The rest of it is filler that you've most likely played many, many times before. The demake is right on the cusp of being worth $20. I didn't like CE2 at all. It tried to add too much to the formula. And since CE1 is stuck on my 360, this is the next best thing.
Vol. 2 is a def. "wait for a sale" title.
Also, just in case you missed it in the video. You can download the JPN free version and get access to that chameleon game, which sucks.
you actually dont need Japanese eshop credit, you can use your credit card, that's what i do
I am getting sick of how phoned in these collections are becoming. You cannot tell me they cannot include 50 games easy. Sega,SNK,Neo Geo,Namco, Konami, all of these companies have huge arcade/console libraries and yet will not give us a big collection. Instead we get pity numbers at best. Namco could have given us Ralley-X,Pacmania or Pac-Man arrangement or even pac-attack and made them unlockables. Ya know I remember "Sonic's ultimate Genesis collection" had a ton of games and 2 master system games you could unlock. Where the fuck is that anymore
Too old school. If they were arcade ports, that would be different.
I’m surprised they didn’t release a second volume of their arcade games yet
Honestly it's just old Namco games being pretty trash. Old Capcom, Konami, Sega, and Nintendo games are all pretty great overall. If I could just get NES Pac Man CE for 5 bucks I would.
Tower of Druaga is great what are you talking about.
The arcade version of Druaga is just as bad in my opinion, I've played a few levels of both...
I didn’t have high hopes for the arcade game either haha
@@SwitchWatch - It's on the Namco Museum Arcade Pac with the arcade versions of Splatterhouse, Dig Dug, Rolling Thunder 1&2, 2 variants of Galaga, 3 variants of Pac Man, and a few other games so not a bad deal and besides, I've actually grown a bit fond of Druaga. It kind of reminds me of the Snail Maze game that came built into the Sega Master System...
It’s free in my country so
Lol Dracula
No Galaxian, Xevious and Glapus in the jp cartridge??? C'mon Namco!... Sometimes they really made weir decisions .
most of these games are already in the switch physical game released in europe maybe 2 years ago named "namco museum arcade pac" so not many interest for me to buy this new namco collections
Yeah but those are the arcade games, these are the console ports which can be quite different.
@@SwitchWatch ah ok thanks i prefer the arcade version of galaga for example so i prefer keep the version i have
and people wonder why we can't have the virtual console on switch - THIS - is why we can't have the Virtual Console on switch.
I think this is Bandai’s response to a lack of virtual console.
It's the opposite. We have THIS because of the lack of a VC.
@@SwitchWatch No offence but do you not think Nintendo would have done this if they could get the license? The vc's were all individual roms anyway - retro grams have increased massively in popularity within the last 5 years, so I'm going to guess Nintendo tried to license them - were told where to go and then capcom, konami etc released sets for £30 knowing people would pay for them.
arcards are designed to be coin munchers, so the console ports have aged better
Hanh??? I thought it was NAMCO?
Namcot was the label they used for their Japanese Famicom games back in the day 😊
@@SwitchWatch Ah haaawww.. 🤔🤔🤔 thanks. 🌟
@@SwitchWatch minor correction: Namcot was Namco's home
Entertainment division ([NAMCO] home entertanmen[T]). PC Engine and early Super Famicom, Game Boy and Megadrive all had Namcot branding.
Yooooooo
Heyyyyyyyyyy buddy
Absolute waste of money. Limited playability on most. Just boot up MAME instead.
Who cares about these retro games! Damn near 40yrs plus.. Come on stop wasting time remaking these classic games.. Where’s the creativity? Originality? Jesus..... What’s going thru the developers head? Who co-signs these poor decisions? I know we are in the middle of a pandemic but cheese and crackers? Give us the games we been waiting for!!!
I’m curious how you ended up at this review 😆
