Good stuff dude, seeing this vid is making me think I need to pick up some of these collections on modern machines, it does make it nice and easy now having them accessible like that. I was pretty pleased I can now play the Shantae games all on my PlayStation, I remember I bought a 3DS to get riskys revenge back when that came out, then I think I had pirates curse on Wii U, then the others on PS4, so having them all ready to go all in one place is really handy now. Good stuff mate, some nice games here that I’ll have to give a bash, nice one dude!

@@dibbsgaming aye, apart from Pirates Curse which I have digitally (yuck) I have all the shantae games physically on my switch which is great. Completed the entire series apart from the new one that's due out soon for the GBA. Collections are well worth it mate.
