Great to see that RR is getting good reviews. Hopefully some of the technical issues will be addressed with patches later.

I am so excited for this game. Such a great collection of games I have played and some I have not. I watched that gameplay footage of R.C Pro Am and it took me back to the easy days as a kid playing NES.

Really glad to see that Jet Force Gemini will have an updated control scheme, I’m going to replay that for sure. Also never played Perfect Dark so that’s going to be a priority.

The original PD is an amazing game. I'm finishing it up again this week. Only a couple missions left. It's as close to Goldeneye as we're going to get and the multiplayer/bot mode is still top tier. I beat PDZ Saturday, it's so much worse than PD.

Played through all the Spectrum games now, so good (though I'm not too in to Underwurlde).

I really hope they reduce the ratio for Perfect Dark Zero stamp collection. 750GS in that game is such a grind. I'd like to aim for finishing everything at some point but I just look at PDZ and think, I didn't even have the effort to try get every achievement in the first year of 360.

Such a good collection anyway, spent like 20+ hours on it this weekend.

I've only ever played the two Viva Piñata games from this collection. I'm really excited to dig in to all these classic games I've missed.

Mine is out to delivery. Never expected to get it a day early, yes!

Now, I just need to choose what to play first.

The Microsoft Store description clearly said that the game would ship to arrive on the release date, and this is what I got today :/

Yeah I'm trying to decide what I will play. I'm leaning toward Solar Jetman because I haven't played it for awhile and i really love then atmosphere and mechanics of it.

So excited for this! Amazon is still preparing my shipment but it's still scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Can't wait!

First game I play has gotta be Banjo-Kazooie. So many games included that I haven't played yet but I have to start with that one.

Son of a $&@#%!

I think MS did cancel my preorder!

I show another game I ordered before AND after Rare Replay under "transactions", but no RR. Argh

Thanks, I didn't even realize the tracking number was there.

Appreciate it!

Not a problem! Also, it might be a good idea to check your tracking number somewhere online, since the estimate Microsoft gave me in the email did not line up with what UPS gave me (2-3 days vs. tomorrow).

I'm kinda divided between playing one of my old favorites, or trying something new. Never had the chance to play late N64 (Conker and Jet Force) and the Original Xbox games, so maybe I'll randomly play one of those.

I've had that language before on release date orders and the game arrived on release date.

Downloading now, although seeing all the queued up 360 games is strange. Wonder why it isn't as one large download.

Separate licenses. They couldn't make Rare Replay be only one license.
The 360 games are running on BC and the games are listed online. I assume the digital version downloads Rare Replay + all the 360 games online.

Hope is alive.

Waiting for the tracking to update.

If it updates and it's not the promised delivery date, I recommend you contact customer service and see if they can do anything for you. If it's too late for them to change the shipment, maybe they can give you a discount or gift certificate.

Having never played a Rare game fully (well apart from Perfect Dark and that was only the mp side) which one should I play through first?

I rented it from Gamefly and after seeing the pics in the OP I might just end up buying it. So much nostalgia.

Very excited for this. I've had an itch to play the N64 era RARE games lately, so this is perfect timing.

Sad that the Conker emulation appears to be janky. Makes you wish Live & Reloaded was more faithful, so they could have used that. I wish they'd throw the L&R multiplayer in there.

Banjo-Kazooie, because it's the best Rare game.

Eh, they are all going to drop down out of sight eventually, especially once the UI gets mercifully updated soon -- and then we can just access the game through Rare Replay neatly.

Although I hope that doesn't bump up the 360 icon again?
