Video Game Compilations that you wish existed
 

I love video game compilation games like the Cowabunga collection, the Mortal Kombat kollection, and the Megaman compilations. I know that roms exist, but I like the feeling of owning games. There are so many great compilation games that exist now, and it's great for us older people. What are some compilation games that you wish existed? Mine are:

1. X Men collection - One with the Sega games, Snes games, and the Game Gear games. That would be so much fun being able to own all of those again.

2. Tiny Toons collection - I don't watch the cartoon now, but I loved it as a kid. However, there were some amazing games that came out back in the day when Konami had the rights. There were some great games on the Nes, Snes, Gameboy, and sega. A very nice track record for licensed games.

3. Adventure Island - I am a fan of this series and especially the Snes games. So many good, but difficult games on the Nes, Snes, and Gameboy. There is a Wonderboy collection, so maybe it could happen.

I'll see your Tiny Toons collection and raise you an Animaniacs. Or, better yet, put the two together; call it the Wacky Pack or something like that. It would be excellent to see that get made.

I'd also love to see Capcom do a collection of Mickey's Magical Quest games. Those were a ton of fun on the SNES and GBA back in the day.

They really missed the boat on all the marvel games from the 90s and early 2000s. I know the licensing was a pain but I bet the sales would have been worth figuring it out.

But now we are getting to the point where I wouldn’t want to play through those games as much anymore. It’d be like a nostalgic “play for 10 minutes then bail” experience with each game for me now rather than an experience that would still immerse me.

5-10 years ago I would have devoured all the classic spidey, x-men, punisher, etc games

Great thread!

1. Jak and Daxter 4 (No, I don’t count Combat Racing, and whoever made The Lost Frontier should be shot). Naughty Dog should have kept that series going. I never cared about Uncharted.

2. An actually good TMNT fighting game.

3. A sh*tty Next Mutation game on PS1.



Unrelated to #2, I wish the TMNT could be in a Smash Bros. I know they don’t qualify, legally, but they’re legitimate Nintendo legends in my mind.

A Tekken compilation followed by a Soulcalibur compilation.

Oh wait, I missed the “compilation” part of the thread title lol. Sorry.

In that case:

1. All of the Konami TMNT stuff from 2003-2009.

2. Post-Naughty Dog Crash Bandicoot stuff from Crash Bash up to maybe Twinsanity? Include all the GBA stuff.

3. Golden Sun 1 and 2 re-release.

All good suggestions. I have thought about buying the Golden Sun GBA games, but they are a little pricey. I heard that the DS one wasn't that good though.

All of the Parasite Eve games. I can only imagine the hours that would drain from whatever is left of life....

I'll make my list interesting by adding some never ever compilations I'd love.

TMNT Cowabunga Collection Vol. 3 The sh*tty Ubisoft years (I liked them what can I say :tlol:)

CDi Zelda Trilogy (Hotel Mario as a bonus)

Game & Watch Collection (Every game in its original form)

Mr. Mosquito 1 & 2 (one of my favorite niche games on the PS2)

I love the first game. I own the 2nd one too I just haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

Did you ever play Arcade Attack? That game was so freaking bad. It was unbelievably boring and enemies took way too long to kill. I bet if they did make a CDI collection that it wouldn't sell very well. Those games are absolutely terrible in every way. One of my favorite Angry Video Game Nerd episodes introduced me to those games.

Sonic Gems Collection 2:

Sonic 4 - Episode 1 and 2
Knuckles Chaotix
SegaSonic Arcade
Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car
SegaSonic Cosmo Fighter
Sega Pico, Gameworld and Music Maker.

Sonic On the Go Collection:

Sonic Rivals 1-2
Sonic Advance 1-3
Sonic Battle
Sonic Pinball Party
Sonic Rush 1 and 2
Sonic Generations DS
Sonic Colors DS
Sonic Chronicles

The Simpsons Dos and D’oh Collection (just thought of that)

Simpsons Arcade
Bart vs World
Bart vs Space Mutants
Bartman meets Radioactive Man
Bart’s Nightmare
Virtual Bart
Virtual Springfield
Krusty’s Funhouse
Bart’s House of Weirdness
All Handheld games and ports

The Simpsons gameboy games are pretty fun, except for Bart Vs the Juggernauts. That game is way too difficult. However, Escape From Camp Deadly is in my opinion a great game. I love Bart's Nightmare, but those Indiana Jones levels really brought the game down by being almost impossible to beat.

I’ve never played any of the Gameboy games.

I have Bart’s Nightmare. I think the overall game is quite hard.

I used to have Bart vs World/Space Mutants and Radioactive Man on NES. I don’t think they were very good but I didn’t play much of Radioactive Man. Still in a compilation they’d be worth having.

I forgot there’s also an Itchy and Scratchy game.

I would instantly buy a Retro Simpson's game compilation.

Tekken collection, FULL Mortal Kombat collection, full Seiken Densetsu collection, Zelda 3D All-Stars.

Yeah, it's actually pretty strange that a great Tekken Collection hasn't happened. 1-3 and Tag Tournament at least...

Put me down for a Cowabunga Collection Volume 2. with the Konami 2003-2009 games.

Shinobi, the OG (Arcade and SMS), Revenge, Return, Shadow Dancer Arcade and Megadrive), Alex Kidd in Shinobi World, (can live without Cyber Shinobi), Legions, Shinobi 2002 and Nightshade.
I have most of those on the Megadrive classics collection, but still nice to be one place.

Asterix the Sega years Asterix, Secret Mission, Great Rescue and Power of the Gods. (Love the first Asterix game on the Master System as a Kid. The others go for silly prices on the second-hand market, so there must be some demand.

Spider-Man the Activision games. Specifically, the PS1 and PS2 titles.

Would be nice to get some digimon collections.

Digimon World collection-
world 1
World 2
World 3
World 4
World Re:digitize Decode
Digimon World: Digital card battle (the Japanese exclusive)
Digimon digital Card battle (Aka. Digimon World digital card arena)

Digimon Story Collection -
Story (World DS)
Sunburst and Moon light (World Sun and Moon)
Lost Evolution
Super Xros Wars Red/Blue

A Ninja Gaiden collection would be awesome.

Ninja Gaiden 8-bit 1-3
Ninja Gaiden Arcade
Ninja Gaiden 1-3 Remastered in unreal engine

Might as well bundle the Dead or Alive games in there, too.

I've been hoping that Digital Eclipse might do one for the Simpsons games, and it would include the arcade game. That's the only arcade game I've wanted ported to consoles now.

I wouldn't mind at all seeing a Shredder's Revenge style "sequel" to the Simpsons arcade game. I guess. I could probably talk some family members into playing it with me.

I would love an updated sequel to that. The original arcade was so early into the show's run, Bart was still wearing the blue outfit from the merch and Sideshow Bob wasn't even a boss. I assume nowadays Hank Scorpio would be the final boss.

Would be nice to have a lot of the old 2D Batman games in a modern collection, they're never been re-released. The problem is unlike the old Konami TMNT games, Batman games were published by a ton of different publishers back in the day so they would have to get the rights for all of them.

I loved the two Batman games on NES, especially the one based on the 1989 movie. The SNES had Batman Returns, The Adventures of Batman and Robin based on B:TAS, the Gameboy had B:TAS games. Sega Genesis had their own version of Batman and Robin, etc.

It would be a dream to see all the 8-bit and 16-bit Batman games on a modern collection, basically everything before the Playstation. But as I said, the rights are all from different publishers so it's probably impossible.

Man I loved the first Digimon World. I would definitely revisit that. I never really got back into Digimon since its heyday, didn’t realize the World Series went on so long.

* All of the arcade and console ports of Strider, the official Strider 2, and even the bastardized US Gold Rom hack release: Strider Returns

* All the Marvel (Spider-man & X-Men) games published by Sega

* All of DC (Superman, Batman, and Justice League) games published by Sunsoft

* All of the Tiny Toon Adventures games published by Konami (add an online upload feature for video created in the ambitious Cartoon Workshop )

* All of the Looney Tunes games published by Sunsoft, and see if they could throw in the Sega-published games too headlined by Taz in Escape from Mars

* All of the McDonald’s licensed games, under a clever Mc-Pak name

* As many of the retro Godzilla games as they can legally secure

* All of the “bit” era Ghostbusters games, headlined by the two arcade games and the HAL Labs’ New Ghostbusters II

* All of the Back to the Future games, headlined by the PS3/Wii game and the Super Famicom BttF Part II

Ohhh the Stryder and Ghostbusters compilation would be great....

Never played Arcade Attack, in fact I didn't even realize it came out until the end of the DSs life. I have to admit it looks cool but I've read the reviews.
But I really liked the 3D game based on the movie, the 2D beat em up also based on the movie and also loved Smash Up, despite the disappointing roster.
Let's not forget the 3D remake of Turtles in Time which I only briefly played.

Wait, the 2D Batman games are actually good?

The NES Batman game, and the one based on the movie are good. Batman can wall jump in them and the graphics are very advanced for an NES game. Batman is infamously known for being colored purple in the main NES one.

The SNES games were always known for being great? Adventures of Batman and Robin by Konami on SNES is considered one of the best Batman games of all time. Batman Returns based on the second movie was also made by Konami and is a great beat 'em up.

The Genesis version of Adventures of Batman and Robin is weaker than the SNES one, it's more of a shooter because Batman throws his batarangs. There's also the Gameboy black and white versions which are pretty decent for Gameboy games.

That's the same game though?

I came in here to say Tiny Toon Adventures games.

For years, my dream compilation was of TMNT games, but then we got the Cowabunga Collection. I suppose a compilation for the 2k3 series based games with the 2007 movie game as a bonus would be nice too. But I'm not sure those games sold well enough in order to justify that.

A compilation of all Tekken games would be sweet. The closest we got to that was getting the arcade versions of Tekken 1-3 in Tekken 5. Also, a DOA compilation would rock too.

I'd love a compilation of classic Pro Evolution Soccer games (PES 1-6) and classic FIFA and WWE games as well... but that's never gonna happen.
