Play Battletoads and realize why MP was terrible in it.

Didn't the NES game have a glitch that made it impossible to beat the game with two players, as well? Did they fix that?

Jetpac Refueled worked for me last night.
The only issue I've had were two back-to-dash crashes while playing snapchats/using the pause menu.
I've never played much of Blast Corps and didn't like the bit I played as a kid. The positive hype has me interested now.

Not that I remember. It had a few hitches here and there even on the original.

So this version isn't bastardized, it's simply no better than the original?
Sounds fine by me, so I should play it, right?
Does this version have subtitles?

Think they all do. There is a universal option for them. The game has voice bubbles though. So you should be fine.

You can transfer 360 saves via Cloud, right? How do you do that? I've never used Cloud before.
How do I transfer my 360 saves from my 360 HD to Cloud, and then retrieve them onto my XB1 HD?

Yup, the 360 games just piggyback off of the BC for Xbox One. They run pretty flawlessly outside of Nuts and Bolts which is still playable, but has weird framerate and audio issues. Kind of makes sense since outside of Grabbed by the Ghoulies, everything else is emulation or already existed in remade form.

If you think that's bad, try Dead or Alive 5: Last Round. You'll get a long ass list of characters added to your queue. Hah.
Wait, really?
They aren't on the disc?
I don't have the space on my xbox for all of that stuff..that's why I didn't go digital :|
Current gen stuff will take up the same amount of space on your hard drive, even if you get the disc or digital. It installs all the content from the disc to your system.
Also I think there is something on the disc, these are just...update files? Of some sort? I don't know.

They are on the disc...but they install separately since they're backwards compatibility games. You can choose not to install any of the Xbox 360 games, though...or so I've read.

this is surprising, i was just about to ask which one people prefer. what about it makes it better? easier?

Didn't remember the weird Samsung advertising in the Perfect Dark Zero menus.

I am curious if the games are actually on the disc or not. Rare says yes, but it seems to install it exactly the same as the digital version.
Maybe just the game licenses are on the disc?

It plays better, has 3 player co-op, looks nicer, and has infinite credits
My guess is that they're on the disc but install to the drive (like all X1 games) and they're downloading the updated manifests for backwards compatibility.

That makes sense actually. So that way they can patch it separately.

Microsoft had an advertizing deal with them when the 360 launched. All the store display models used Samsung monitors and everything.

Banjo will make you feel like a kid again.
Conker will then put you back in your place.

Other than Battletoads NES, me neither. Well, ok I played Solar Jetman. Really looking forward to Banjo and especially Conker.

Not sure if the emulator or the game but it feels like you're swimming in molasses in Perfect Dark Zero.

Rewind is such a great option in this game, makes playing parts of Battletoads all the more bearable. Speaking of which, I've been playing the NES Battletoads a few times now and I'm getting better at the hoverbike and surfboard stages. They are still pretty tough but I can nail down around 80% of each with no issues. The end of the volcano stage is a complete pisstake though, lasers that need dodging, but you need to be insanely fast and know exactly where to manuver your ship before the lasers appear... Not sure why they went so OTT on the difficulty, it'd be an excellent game if I didn't feel like the game wanted to kill me at every turn!
And yeah, the arcade game is the better of the two games. Looks great, plays great and actually feels fairer in terms of difficulty.
I also gave Attic Attack and Slalom a few tries. Attic Attack is brilliant, managed to clear the game once as the knight. I will definitely play it through with the other characters. Slalom is just plain evil, almost to the Battletoads level, avoiding stuff while having very little in the way of a heads up where the obstacles are. Definitely one of the weaker games on the collection.

Battletoads has to be the most unfun game I've ever played. It's like they really don't want you to enjoy the game. Poor controls, terrible hit detection, falling through platforms, dull level design, one hit kills every other step. I played it back in the day and didn't enjoy it back then. I had forgotten why; now I remember.
It's not even a beat em up game. It's a platformer with terrible controls and horrendous level design with one goal: to kill you as much as possible.

Get good.
Yes it's janky but it's playable and part of my childhood. Battletoads rocks.
I don't understand this complaint, the games install regardless of whether it's disc or digital.
Fuck this. Stop them all installing, then select Rare Replay, in install that and while you're playing install the 360 games you want. You don't need to install all of those BC games to play RR.

What's this talk about emulation? Is it bad?
Admittedly I don't know much about the technical side of this collection, I assumed these titles were all ported to X1
Is the emulation 1080p at least?

Mine didn't do that...it won't do anything. The system is working, it shows the game in my drive, but if I select it and press A, it just makes a chime noise and nothing happens. It doesn't appear to be installing anything. WTF?
edit: never mind, it finally kicked in. On another topic: it wants a 6.2 GB update via download? I thought all these games were on the disc? What am I downloading (or not, actually; I declined for now)?
I assume it's because many people buy physical to avoid big downloads.
But in this case they are on disc, just separately installed.
