SNK fans are hardcore to the max. Especially the ones that supported their Neo Geo console (who else would buy games at $200+ each?). Nothing wrong with that, if you have the money and want to have the very best version of something, why not buy it? Me, I was more of a “pick up the port on Sega Genesis or Super NES” kind of gamer back then. I simply did not have that kind of disposable income, and arcades were a good hour one way from where I lived. Thankfully, over the years we got re-releases such as this – the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection for the Nintendo Switch. Just be prepared as this appears to be all pre-Neo Geo titles.
You read that right. The announced game list in SNK 40th Anniversary Collection is all titles from before the Neo Geo platform was launched. Nothing wrong with that as there are some true classics from the 1980’s that still have not been given the re-release treatment.
On the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection you can expect:
Chopper I
Fantasy
Munch Mobile
Sasuke Commander
Time Soldiers
There is a promise at the end of the trailer that there will be another 10 SNK classics added via free DLC on December 11th, 2019.
Here are 10 other titles that have already been announced for the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection for Nintendo Switch. You will notice, these are slightly more recent releases than the ones featured in the launch trailer above. That gives hope that we will see more pre-Neo Geo titles (maybe Beast Busters?) in that announcement in mid December.
Alpha Mission
Athena
Guerilla War
Ikari Warriors
Ikari Warriors III – The Rescue
P.O.W. – Prisoners of War
Prehistoric Isle
Psycho Soldier
Street Smart
Vanguard
