Would be great to see these games come to Xbox. Especially since M2 are only interested in serving the Japanese market.

I actually have the majority of these games on my computer, and they run smoothly on a Windows 10 laptop. All im missing now is the 4th volume, and then my collection is complete. Still, it would be nice if they released it for consoles, especially the Nintendo switch.

one game i think they should consider getting to port is "Granada" by wolf team, it was released for the megadrive and the x68000 pc and that game is great but could really use the quality of comfort improvements these arcade shooters got its a great game and deserves to be among all these underrated classics!

Just like most comments on here it be great to see this collection on consoles. Fantastic on PC and I'd buy them again for my PS4 or switch 👌

A physical special edition would be wonderful, with manual, illustrations, history, etc. that would unify all the games.

Tbh the steam version of these games look a little bit too dark to me I have a bunch of them, but for some reason I often like to play them on FB Neo maybe Im just stupid though

And no support for Mouse buttons and movement. Tyrian and Raptor have this support, citing just two great examples.

mouse movement is like an common occurrence to euroshmups, usually japanese-made shmups meant to be played on joystick

[@MateusRG]

@@cps1247 These things have no basis nowadays. If the Mouse movement was good in other Shmups, if it worked (and it did) this needs to be applied to these ports. That would be a huge difference! And a third alternative, in addition to the keyboard and controller, in fact, for two players would be great: Player 1 on the keyboard and Player 2 on the Mouse. As it stands, if two people don't have a controller, in a local match, they will have to share the same keyboard or find another one. Anyway, there is absolutely no good justification for not having support for Mouse. The only explanation is laziness in working on it. Let's go... These games only use two buttons or three at most, and the Mouse has three buttons in addition to better movement than any Gamepads.

[@cps1247]

@@MateusRG I imagine it may be hard to program the 8 way movement (which is hardcoded to these games) to mouse controls with smooth all-angles movement, especially for an arcade games where it will truly breaks the game. I can understand why they don't bother with this control. Not like it's the end of the world anyway, I mean still would've been nice to have them but if it doesn't then it's fine.

[@MateusRG]

@@cps1247 This is also no excuse for not having it. The Final Burn Neo emulator has support for Mouse movement that works in any Shoot 'em up. The point is that I really wanted to support this company and these versions, but as they are, I won't support them, unfortunately.

Laziness? Yeah, several man months of work if not years to get emulation just right and with minimal input lag and not adding mouse support is lazy? I am not saying mouse support is a bad idea, but calling the absence of it lazy is silly. There were hundreds of more important points to accomplish before those games ran as they do, missing a nice to have at the end is not lazy.
