Multi-Game Compilations - Ports, Remasters, Remakes, and Value Packs! / MY LIFE IN GAMING

23:54 The Final Fantasy VII + VIII compilation for Switch was also officially released in Europe. I bought it here in Spain when it released a few years ago for 18€.

Minor Correction! The Dreamcast Collection for 360 has Sonic Adventure without the DX dlc upgrade. The Battle dlc that Coury mentions is for Sonic Adventure 2, which doesn't come with the Dreamcast Collection.

My favorite compilations of all time are the Kingdom Hearts collections. It’s so satisfying having the entire series on one platform after a decade of the series being spread across different handhelds.

If there's one compilation that really stands out to me in gaming, it's the original Super Mario All-Stars for SNES, containing 16-bit remakes of the original 8-bit Mario games for the NES, including a merciless Mario game that never previously got localized: Lost Levels. Capcom also had their own SMAS: Mega Man: The Wily Wars for Sega Genesis.

4:31 Apparently the Japanese cartridge has a version of Operation C compatible with the Super Gameboy, featuring its own set of colors distinct from Europe's Gameboy Color version. I remember reading that some fans of Operation C prefer the color choices in the Super Gameboy over the GBC version.

In Brazil, Tectoy released 10 Super Games in 1997 or so for the Mega Drive, it's basically 6-Pak with California Games, Sega Soccer, Flicky and Super Hang-on, it was still an appealing cartridge even then. Shinobi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Sonic 1 and Columns are popular enough, the cartridge only lacks a RPG so it would cover basically all main genres.

The fact you can often buy these compilations for a lot less than their individual constituent games says everything you need to know about the retro gaming market. People care more about owning rare and expensive things than actually playing games.

Why is it that when I just hear the words "Jet Set Radio," I hear the word "Understand" rolling in my head repeatedly for hours?

I got my Mega Drive about 10 years ago from its first owner. It came with 6 cartridges and 2 of them were the 6 in 1 and 3 in 1. Here in South Africa, the Sega Mega Drive was crazy expensive, probably because of the British Pound to South African Rand exchange rate since all our Mega Drives were from the UK. And these combo game carts made the deal more digestible.

Midway Arcade Treasures was my most played ps2 game by far, and arguably lead to my love of gaming history with the way they included docs and facts about these classic games. Now we have stuff like the SNK classic collection and fpga, I can’t believe the wealth!

Aw man! No Namco Battle Collection love? That one was great on PSP! one of the few arcade compilations to have its own version of TATE mode as a screen mode. So awesome!

Dudes, European Mega Drives were bundled with different "Mega Games" compilations. The best of them is "Mega Games 2" where all three games you can get cheaper than all of them individually.

This was a fun exploration of the various compilations over the years! A notable one that Sega did for the Saturn was the Sega Ages USA compilation. It features perhaps the best port of Outrun ever made. 60 FPS mode and supports full analog steering and full analog gas and brake, which makes it easy to use with a racing wheel (looking forward to this on the MiSTer core when further peripheral support is added.) Afterburner II and Space Harrier are included on the same disk and have analog/Mission Stick compatibility also. The Taito Legends compilations also rock.

Cory, give Galaga Legions DX another try. It’s been reimagined as a sort of twin stick shooter, gets very hectic and does for Galaga what Pac-man CE DX did for that franchise. There’s an option for retro sprites which makes it more palatable. Fantastic video as always!

Nowadays I find myself going back to original hardware versions (except for proper remasters and remakes). But this video will be a good reference for good compilations! Thanks!

Been watching for 6 years. Although I don't watch every single videos, I enjoy them when I do

Kinda surprised DQ 1+2 on the Game Boy Color didn't come up at all in that segment. I prefer that version over the SNES one, personally.

hate to break it you that duck was someone's dinner. but he will forever be remembered for his cover art picture.

This is unrelated to the actual content of the video, I just want to say that Try's dog, which we see in the Factor ad, is SUPER CUTE!!!
