    Nice job Jordan. I never played these when I was younger either but damn I love 16 bit games and DAMN some of these games are gorgeous. A definite physical buy, even though the snes Aladdin and the game gear stuff but still....it’s a great collection. I think at least. ;) also, I think these guys did a pretty good job of choosing the games that were included EXCEPT the two game boy games that are the same except for color. That’s week.

    Like some others have said, I’ll also probably wait till the price drops before I consider picking this set up. I don’t have any real nostalgia for either of these games, they just weren’t within my interests back then when they originally came out on the SNES/Genesis. $29.99 just seems way off the mark. $19.99 would have been more reasonable for day 1, but I’d like to see it drop even below that. It’s too bad they didn’t get the SNES version for Aladdin on this too, for completions sake. Most of my memories of that game came from one of my childhood friends having the SNES version.
    The one compilation set i want AND need on the Switch is the Disney Afternoon Collection. Now those games I have major nostalgia for! It’s too bad we’ll probably never get It though from the whole thing with rights leaving Capcom. It made no sense they never put it on the Switch back when they still had the rights. I mean those games were on Nintendo consoles after all?? Not to mention tons of people were asking for it on the Switch constantly...So weird...

    I used to have a plug and play controller I got at k mart for $20 and I got to play all of these and more with nothing more than a tv. This is a bit expensive for a digital collection you can buy for $20 when you can get a physical controller with all of these.

  • @albatross1688
    @albatross1688 5 лет назад

    I too would have liked to see more versions of the games. I'm sure licensing rather than quality concerns are the issue here as if it was about quality the Gameboy versions wouldn't be the top of the list to include. Also, the "colour version" of both games seems to be Super Gameboy emulation, with a questionable palette used for Aladdin. It must be one of the default palettes. I wish that were used as a filter like in Konami's Castlevania Collection instead of being passed off as a separate version.

    • @SwitchWatch
      @SwitchWatch  5 лет назад

      I looked into it afterwards and the majority of the other versions were also done by the same studio as these ones, so I'm not sure if it's licensing actually. Probably they just didn't have the manpower to put them in.

    At least an honest review. Everything I read and saw yesterday was hype, but I don't understand this "incomplete" collection. I loved these games in the 90s, but they are hard af. I still own them, so I will not buy this Collection. I have almost all Games from the Konami Collections too, but these collections were worth it, because you got a complete package.

    • @SwitchWatch

  • @teddym2808
    @teddym2808 5 лет назад

    I actually think it needed more for the price tag too to be honest.. more disney games in the package.. I think they are going to judge sales of this and then maybe do a castle of illusion package, and so on.. But they have marked it at the wrong price.. it is 52$ in AU.. Ok ok, most of us have access to the US Eshop where it's 29.95, but for me, this is 19.99 retail, MAX, 9.99 sale. I was willing to get it physical for the 46.99 AU, cause, well, physical, but I did cancel that as I said before.. Definitely one for an Xmas sale or something.
