Yes, I keep thinking that HERO KLUNGO SSSAVESSS TEH WORLD and HERO KLUNGO SSSAVESSS TEH UNIVERSE need a stand alone sequel. It was so epicI remember playing it with friends, lot of fun !
Whoa, UNIVERSE? Was that part of the DLC or something?

Yes!! I was just watching a Youtube video today and got some good feels back haha. I'd LOVE a standalone arcade sized title to be released, but alas, the chance of that happening is like not even 1% haha.

Man, Lunar Jetman is a fucked up game. It's so random. I can barely destroy one base but then just got 15th in the world on Snapshot 5. Probably because nobody is playing. I have no idea how you are supposed to get that milestone for level 10, seems crazy.
Here's how I got that milestone. Pause > Options > Cheats> Infinite Live On.

Ha I forgot about that option. Good enough.
I am, only thing putting me off buying it is apparently some of the games frames drop into single digits

It's rough around the edges but it's an instant purchase IMO

Very solid point. I have faith some improvements will be made, just judging on the quick turnaround for the control issues and launching issues they solved in the latest patch apparently.
I have played through Blast Corps, Banjo-Kazooie, Battletoads, and several Spectrum games 100% now. None have hit "single digits" FPS.
Here is my take and opinion/review of the game.
I got it because first of all $30 for 30 games is a no brainer. When a good amount of them are games I grew up playing and loving that adds to the day one purchase. R.C. Pro Am, Battletoads and Snake Rattle and Roll are 3 NES games I loved from my childhood.
Add on the many games I have not played but want to then the value is throught the roof. Now I understand that there are issues due to emulation and whatever but still the overall package is amazing.
I will admit that some of the strange old games don't grab me and I didn't like them but with the games I do want to play it's still a great game.

Yeah, It is mainly some of the 360 ones from a quick Google (Banjo, Perfect Dark, Conker (N64). I am popping into my local town tomorrow after work and will probably pick the game up, mainly to play Battletoads as I've never played it and anything else is a bonus.
That would be awesome. Oh and the music is just soooo good

Haven't tried Nuts & Bolts yet but the only game I've seen dropping crazy amount of frames is Conker. My wife was watching me play the other day and was starting to get a headache from the low framerate

I believe any game made before 1997 is "essentially cave man art."
If you have GCU at bestbuy it's great for $24. Although there are 30 games, there are a lot of old crappy games from the ZX spectrum. The snapshot challenge mode makes playing through those old games a lot more palatable. I'm enjoying my time so far but if you don't have that nostalgia for their games you can safely avoid it
The collection as a whole is a great package with some small issues that look like will be patched in a soon:
-The Spectrum/PC games run well and support the rewind feature
-The NES games have some sound issues but otherwise play as well as the Spectrum/PC games
-Battletoads Arcade looks to be a fantastic port of the original arcade version
-Some N64 games use an emulator and run in unlocked 30FPS (Blast Corps, Conker, Jet Force Gemini) or 60FPS (Killer Instinct Gold) while others use 360 emulation to run the XBLA remasters that run in 1080p/30FPS (Banjo 1 and 2) or 60FPS (Perfect Dark). Blast Crops had (still has?) crashing issues and Conker has inverted camera controls but Jet Force got patched with a modern shooter control scheme that reportedly plays better then the original pre-patched version
-Grabbed by the Goulies is a complete remaster; running at 1080p/60FPS and that in turn leading the combat feeling better then it did on the Xbox.
-The 360 games have mixed emulation; the XBLA ports run very well reportedly (Banjo 1 and 2 run at 30FPS, while Perfect Dark and Jet Pack Re-Fuled run at 60FPS) while the 360 games themselves either run well (the Viva Pinata games, Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero) or have some slight issues (Nuts and Bolts has slowdown in Showdown Town (the hub) but the rest of the game runs about the same as the original 360 version).

Is it possible to disable rumble in Jet Force Gemini?

Glad to see that Blast Corps is still the best.
Severely underrated game back in the day.

None of the Banjo games are 60 fps, and n64 games like Conker (and Jet Force maybe? Haven't tried it yet) can drop a lot of frames and are not stable at 30, though the original n64 releases might have performed like that too.The collection as a whole is a great package with some small issues that look like will be patched in a soon:

I hope they release a patch that improves n64 emulation performance. I've seen retroarch with whatever core they use for n64 emulation allow you to do that so it should be possible.
Really? Okay, I guess the XBLA versions just made the games run at a locked 30FPS instead of a unlocked 30FPS like they ran at on the N64.
Will update my post with that information, so thanks for the heads up Hawk2025
.Edited my post with your and Hawk2025's information so I don't mislead anyone by mistake. Thank you for the heads up Georaldc
.I haven't been able to find confirmation that they do. I was looking for reviews, official press stuff. I assumed it did not so its weird to see so many people say they do.

Only Arcade, which took me probably about 100 continues to finish. Damn bosses are sponges, especially when you're playing by yourself. Even the big dudes (who you need to punch in the dick) are tough to take down.

I'm not sure what you are referring to here. Jet Force Gemini runs at 60, and what looks like 1080p, and Banjo Tooie looks like it runs the same as the X360 version (looked like 60, but could be 30 I suppose). I didn't notice a single frame drop in either, and seemed vastly better than the N64 versions from what I remember. Perhaps Banjo 1 and Conker run worse?
I just assumed the frame rates (as Killer Instinct Gold is a fighting game....so 60FPS is something you have to do in making it feel smooth) were the case, but I'm sorry if I got my information wrong Hawk
.I edited my past post so I hope that lines up with the performance of the games in Rare Replay now and if it doesn't, I will delete the post if its an issue

Sorry, I did not mean to sound combative, it's a very useful thing to summarize all the info we have
While it is true only JFG has a widescreen option (that's because the original ROM has a widescreen option) the borders on the other games are optional. You can always shut off the borders and run the game in full 4:3, with only pillarbox bars.
It's still all the original content. So outputting at 1080, but the assets and models are untouched.
Game supported it OOTB. No reason not to use it.
The old games aren't all crappy.

You wasn't combative at all man
! Just wanted to make sure my information is correct, as I don't want to mislead anyone.

Banjo Tooie won't launch. From the Rare Replay wrapper it says "This xbox 360 game is not installed" which it is. If I try to boot it from the Games & Apps section I get an error that says "That didn't work for some reason" (hell of an error message) and if I try to uninstall the game from my HDD, it does nothing. Just sits there like I told it to do nothing. What's the deal?
Also, Jetpac Refuelled continually gives me an error that it's updating and installation stopped at 100%. If I reboot it usually fixes it, but it's not fixed the Banjo Tooie issue.
Also, the first level of Blast Corps freezes every single time I try to play it.
Just waiting for patches.

Im lucky to not have one crash in blast corps. My xbox isny even a week old tho
When you reboot are you just powering on/off (going into standby) or are you doing a full reboot via the settings menu? Make sure you try the latter as that usually resolves any issues around not being able to install/uninstall something.

It was easily the best game released on the Xbox 360, so yeah, I'd agree with that.

I'm working on it. Rewind has been a god send so far LOL.
I am. Honestly, most of the preNES games hold no interest for me. I don't care about the Killer Instinct Gold, and I already own the games I would care for on Xbox gold.
So for me, it's a 30 dollar price tag to play around with Blast Corps and the first two BK games.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
The comments of the last few pages of this thread seem really positive and people seem to be enjoying it. Hearing some offhand comments in other threads here made me think the game was a disaster. I literally came in to see what went wrong.

Does GbtG really look that amazing? I thought it already looked good on the Xbox as it was? Is there that much of a difference?
