Yay, TATE mode is in!

Yay, TATE mode is in!

How does TATE mode work on the PSP anyway? Seems like it would be weird to control.

For the amazing Star Soldier remake, you use the D-Pad to steer and the face buttons to shoot, except they are obviously rotated in functionality.

It works quite well as long as the games are simple to control, perfect for shooters.

And if you have a Go you could use the DS3 to control it. Even better.

Zero? Too good for two?

it's a prequel dude

 

[Shinriji]

Ikari 3 and prehistoric isle make this collection Really awesome.

 

[Mockingbird]

awesome. Glad they didn't give up after just one release!

Never played any of these but I imagine they're all super hard.

 

[DiscoJer]

You have to be kidding me! Finally?

The ESRB rated this at least a year ago.

This has been driving me crazy because I really, really, really want to play Vanguard 2. The original was one of my favorites on the Atari 2600 and in the arcade. Never got to play 2 (apparently it's more an enhanced version of the first than sequel).

 

[Wehrwolf]

Looking forward to this one. Vanguard 2 in particular ^^

 

[Dambrosi]

Vanguard 2, ASO, the Ikari Warriors games...oh yes, you will be mine.

 

[Gameboy415]

Nice!

I hope it's also released on PS2 & Wii in the US like Volume 1 so more more people can get a chance to play it.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Cool, I'm interested in picking it up.

 

[Baron]

Goddamit. Every time I see a new SNK re-release I scan it quickly looking for Pulstar, or even Blazing Star, and am always disappointed. Hell, I'll take Viewpoint at this...point.

 

[Guevara]

Ikari Warriors
Dogosoken
Ikari III: The Rescue (overseas version)
Guerrilla War

FUCKING YES

 

[Hours Left]

Yes please.

 

[Augemitbutter]

didn't see this coming, very nice.

 

[GhaleonQ]

There's a lot of good stuff on this, including the vast majority of the fighting game-related titles.
