  • Today on the channel we are taking a look at every single game in the Arcade Game Zone on the Nintendo Switch, a compilation of 40 classic arcade games including 10 parlor games and 30 "faithfully replicated" arcade classics. But how do they play and does Arcade Game Zone deliver on the authentic arcade experience it promises?
    It has been pointed out that I called the final game Arkanoid instead of Centipeed, for some reason I've always got it mixed up, no idea why!

    A decent little compilation of Arcade Games this one, though a shame that the majority of them are single player only. Let me know if you picked it up though, how you found it, and if you like these kind of mini-game compilations, consider checking out Party Planet 30-in-1 Game Collection - ua-cam.com/video/KZprzTPH5Yg/v-deo.html

    Not sure why anyone would pay that price for these games when they could get Arcade Paradise and have the ability to design the actual arcade and a story mode

      Heard decent things about Arcade Paradise but haven't played it. Suppose some just want a simple way to play them and dont care for the extra stuff?

      Arcade Paradise is amazing, but its a very different game to this, some stuff on here thats not in Arcade Paradise.
      Some people dont want story, they just want to play some games, so different sort of thing really

    Many thanks for your review, espeially presenting every of the 40 Minigames.
    The only I haven't on Switch is Abert so 17.49 Euro in sale is too much - have holidays in August and i have one of the programmer tools on switch so I'll program it myself.

    The first of the three Galaga clones looks more like it's based on Galaxian. It looks like one you'd maybe want to pick up in a sale.

    Thanks for the review! Can you review Jade order next? It’s a really good puzzle game with a good bit content with multiple hours to be spent. It has a demo and it’s cheap costing $4.50 Canadian dollars

    "It really starts to get on your tits" had me rolling! I'm American, never heard that particular turn of phrase before.
    Not my type of game, I mostly play RPGs; I'll always give you a watch when I have the time though, its the least I can do in return for the shovel-ware/scam videos.

    Breakout, Impact, Arkanoid, many names for almost the same game. I really liked Arkanoid but my first acquaintance with these types of games was Impact, on Atari ST. It was rather simple but you could design a whole bunch of levels after your own ideas, and that was probably the most fun part. I made hellish levels and tricked my parents into playing them. A kind of sadistic joy to mess around with them like that, because several of my own levels were downright hellish and sometimes impossible to finish. Years later I found another brickbreaker game called Jardinains, with several small garden gnomes (or whatever) popping up on the level. Don't actually remember their role in the game, but it was fun and charming, with hilarious sound effects.
    Today I would probably not play such a game again, except if it offered something more, like special skills, a compelling storyline or customizing your pad (or hero).
    For that reason, I have my eyes on Wizorb, which I might buy later on. Strikey Sisters also offer a little extra.

    this would be good for kids as i cant think of many games where the AI is bad and ya actually win a few rounds. i think this may be ok for someone who didnt play these games back in the past but those who did will miss the originals and their more gritty look. its a shame really that there isnt a version where ya can play the original and then the updated version.
    i finally completed kingdom two crowns the norak edition the original Kingdom new lands is often on offer but much harder than the sequel.

    • @SwitchStars
      @SwitchStars  6 місяців тому +1

      Yea a decent one for the kids I thought so too. I think the originals will always be the best for most, but there have been some great remakes and remixes over the years, especially with Tetris and Pacman. I havent played Two Crowns, but thats one that looks good to play in coop.
