@@NeanderMeander I own almost all that are available on the Switch. I don’t have Bioshock though. I think the Switch might be a good way to give it a shot. Turtles is my number one favourite collection though. Contra is amazing! The Capcom Arcade Stadiums are great! All the arcade archive games that come out each week…so many. When I got the switch day one I thought it would be a retro power house but when I saw no ‘virtual console’ I was so disappointed. Years later, it has become a retro power house in ways I never thought possible.
Hey man, I'm not sure if you remember me when I asked about modding for the 3DS. I remember you saying if I get a switch I should tell you, 'and I did' I got The Zelda TOTK OLED Edition. Thank you for also answering me about the modding your amazing, keep up the good work!
@@NeanderMeander Very good, I currently got 2 games along with it BOTW and Mario Kart and they're amazing especially BOTW, so excited to beat it for TOTK!

@@NeanderMeander you deserve way more subs then u curently have, keep up this great Work....i also realy liking the combo of your shots and the music you are using
I played BioShock for the first time this year after making a painting for a friend. It's crazy how I missed out on this until now. It's amazing. I do love a great compilation cart but surprisingly we haven't bought many of them. It's not necessarily a purest thing but it's more to do with the fact that we have them OG and tend not to double dip too much.
That's awesome you played Bioshock for the first time this year! Have you played 2 and Infinite yet? I have a problem with double dipping. It seems like I do it way to often when these compilations come out. They are just so convenient. I don't currently have a game room, so having all these games available on the one console I have hooked up to my TV makes things so much easier. But I see where you're coming from. There's no need to spend money on something you already have.
@@NeanderMeander the first Bioshock is the only one I've played so far, but I'm excited to play the other ones. I get how it's hard to pass up on the compilations though because honestly they really hold their value. And like you said, you don't have to have several consoles hooked up to play, potentially up to 10 games on one cart. Super convenient for sure
Wonderful video as always. I do enjoy a good compilation here and there! I do tend to elaborate a bit more at times, but for now this is more the "oh, I saw this Wonderful video!" Post, I do have some thoughts as well experiences that are worth sharing later. Keep up the amazing Neander! 🎮M

@@NeanderMeander The last one I completed was the Valis Fantasm Collection for the Switch. I loved being able to play these games since I don’t own a Turbo Grafx or Mega Drive.

@@officialnofriendo That's good! I'm glad you're doing well. You never know what's going to happen on this platform. One day views are down, then the next they are skyrocketing. Going from my experience, keep making videos. Sooner or later you will start continually growing.
freaken mario 3d allstars discontinued and price been going up quick.... and i never got it 😫 Question is, how does mario sunshine play with hosing and walking at the same time? it only worked with analog trigs. switch doesnt have analog trigs, is the gamecube controller the only option??
Compilation of classic video game is a great way to share the history of the Gaming Industry with those you don't have or can't have those classic game. The Switch have this reputation to be a gaming system with a lot of Port, Remake, Remasterd, so have Compilation sound natural with the Switch.
I'm glad these companies are keeping their classics alive with these compilations. Those games will always be fun to play. Even if it's for just a few minutes at a time. You're right, the Switch is known for having many ports, remakes, and remasters. I'll think it's fitting that it has quite a few compilations. Thanks for watching!
I was just thinking the other how many geat compilations is on the Switch. It's one of my favorite features in the Switch library. I recently added the Taito Collection and Rocky and Poky.
Absolutely love Bioshock and I'm a big Borderlands fan too. I got the Borderlands collection and am over the moon with it, though the Bioshock collection I got on the xbox.
The Bioshock games are so good! Playing them for the footage in this video was so fun. I didn't want to put them down. I bought the Borderlands collection. I've never played them, but got a good deal on it. Are they good?
@NeanderMeander borderlands is a very unique game. You loot cool guns and shopt bad guys. Very low stress. The games dont take themselves too seriously, and they're very self-away. Great silly humour, and can be serious where it counts. Judging by the stuff you seem to enjoy, i think you'd like them! Borderlands 2 would 100% be the place to start, and its considered the franchise best by... everyone 😅
I really do like how we get to play games of the past on current gen consoles. Whether it be through a remaster, remake, or a simple port. And I would love to see more of these classic gems make return to current gen consoles since a miss out on them. And I might give the Castlevania collection a shot since I really enjoyed the anime. And it was such a crime for Nintendo to release the Mario 3D collection for limited time. All because of the release of the miniature sized consoles that each game was played on, and I doubt they made a lot of money. They should've just kept selling the game, and forget all about the mini consoles. So I hope that I'm lucky enough to find a copy of my own one day.
I like playing these games too. It's so great to have access to them on the current consoles. I hope we continue to see them released for the coming gaming generations. The Castlevania games have been really great. Though, they take some getting used to. You can't run through them really quickly. You need to take your time. Also, the games a little slower paced anyway. I don't like how Nintendo went about releasing the 3D All Stars collection. It's a shame it's going up in price. They should have at least kept it available digitally. But, I have seen it locally for sale from people. So there are plenty out there to find. I hope you run across it some day.
Yeah, it's not ideal. I tried to stray away from talking about it in the video. I could make a whole other video all about that and how it's not good for collectors. But it's good to keep that stuff in mind.
From what I understand, it was because of a clerical error that Contra was absent during the Virtual Console era. I'm glad that whatever errors were made were eventually cleared up when they put out the Anniversary Collection.
I usually don't buy from them either. But these collections were must owns for me. I love Konami's classic games. I really wish Konami would distribute them by themselves rather than going through Limited Run, but unfortunately that's not the case. Thank you for watching!
The only thing that sucks about switch is that most of them have download codes. If they are complete on cart it’s worth it. Hence the new Metal Gear passes on the switch version and got it for ps5

Love the video❤, great conversation starter. How do you feel about an all digital future? What do you think will be the approch for these collections, i like the having classic games on my switch / playstation/ Xbox, but even that is a lot of subscriptions. If individual companies do there own services i that you can only play the games there it would ruin it IMO. Whats your thoughts 💭
I'm not looking forward to an all digital future. I like having physical games. Not only because I get something when I pay for it, but because I like to film them. If I didn't have these games in physical form, my videos would be super boring. I try to work around it like I did with the Konami Arcade Collection and the Castlevania Advance collection, but that is very tricky to pull off. I have to get very creative when I do that direction. I hope this subscription trend fades off. I can't afford all of them. I cancelled Gamepass last year and have never looked back. It was great having it, but I can't justify spending so much each month to play a few hours of a couple of games. I also haven't purchased the Nintendo Expansion. It's just needless spending in my opinion. I do have the base subscription because I like having my saves backed up on the cloud. If that wasn't included, I would drop it as well. I like paying for games once and that's it. It's a tried and true method of game delivery we've had for half a century. I don't know why we've all of the sudden been okay with perpetually paying for things; movies, games, music... It really is crazy how we own nothing anymore.
