ferrarimanf355 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 http://www.gamedaily.com/xbox/preview/?id=...52&source=00001 Sounds like another winning classic compilation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 p.s. The Xbox version uses MAME. Yep.. the rom names are the same, etc. etc.. And you know how in Mame the emulated sounds for Phoenix are off? Yep.. it's in there. Oddly this doesn't seem to be the case for the Playstation 2 versions (both of them) which have different sets of games than this U.S. Xbox version more or less. But then again, I dunno. All I know is by all indications, Xbox Taito Legends == MAME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I already have this on pre-order for the PS2 just for Phoenix. But do the light gun games have GunCon2 support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I think the US PS2 version will be identical to the US Xbox version. He's talking about overseas versions done by a different developer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEX Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Yes! Its out in Ireland, so I assume Europe has launched it (xplosiv are the publisher). I also picked up Midway Arcade Treasures 3, so a fun evening ahead when the baby goes to sleepy land! So, there is Namco Museum 50th Anniversary Arcade Collection, Tecmo Classic Arcade and Capcom Classics Collection also to look forward to this year! And, according to the card inside Taito Legends, volume 2 with 40 titles in due early 2006! Sweet! Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PS2 versions seem different though. But then again I have no idea what they use.. might just be a modded mame as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Collector Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I have the import of this one Taito Memories Joukan (PS2) It gets the big so-so from me. I'm hoping the US version is better, even if it is just a MAME comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanukitsune Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 YES! I finally have it! Huh? It comes with a collectable card? And there are six different ones? I got Pheonix! But do they expect people to buy several copies just to get the cards? Damn! Was the original version of The New Zealand Story supposed to have no way to continue? KHAAAAN!

Tempest Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Damn! Was the original version of The New Zealand Story supposed to have no way to continue? 951603[/snapback] I thought that when you died there was a small chance that you'd play a mini-game where you had to touch the Virgin Mary. If you did you were allowed to continue, but the mini-game didn't pop up all the time and was random. I swear I read that somewhere.

Xot Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Not shipping until the 25th in the States, or so says EB. I plunked down my $20 for it anyways. If it's half as good as Capcom Classics I'll be ultra pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 You know since we're on teh subject of compilations, and I didn't see a thread for it...how's the tecmo collection? I am intrigued by Plieades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony J Case Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Wait a sec - Elevator action? Bubble Bobble? I am SO there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony J Case Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 You know since we're on teh subject of compilations, and I didn't see a thread for it...how's the tecmo collection? I am intrigued by Plieades. Of the compilations I got that day (Midway 3, Capcom and Temco), Temco was the weakest of the bunch. Even an avid gamer like myself, there was very few games that I recalled from the arcade - and it was the most expensive of the bunch ($30 vs $20 for the other two). Star Force was the best of the disc - a solid if not exceptionaly outstanding Space Invaders clone. Rygar was the next favorite of the disc, a pretty fun side scroller. Pleiads didnt really make an impression on me - neither good or bad. If I had it to do over again, I'd probably leave that on the shelf. Really, it was Capcom that won the day for me. You just cant beat Ghosts and Goblins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyranthraxus Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Elevator Action Returns is one of the great game updates. I think its far better than the original. Too bad its not on all the versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
