Taito Milestones - Nintendo Switch

If you're into video game history and/or appreciate seeing the evolution of developers over time, then this collection may be for you. The included games are mostly charming, if sometimes dated, archives of Taito's arcade catalog. Most people will be familiar with and enjoy the likes of Elevator Action, The Ninja Warriors, and even Qix, though the rest may be unfamiliar. Personally, I've had fun trying all of them for the simple mechanics and charms of the era (yours truly was around when most of these first appeared in arcades).In particular, I think Halley's Comet is a hidden gem in this collection. This early shmup charges you with shooting down lightly balletic enemy waves and deadly comets. Let too many comets get past you and the planet you're protecting (even the sun!) is destroyed. There are even rudimentary boss fights when you've survived each planet's attack waves.The entire collection is basically the Hamster Arcade Archives versions, which is a good thing. All of the save states, quality of life features, and other options are present for each of these titles. You can pick this collection up for the price of a couple of full-priced Arcade Archive releases and come out ahead content-wise.In summary, while the best was yet to come for Taito's greatest hits, this is still a neat collection for video game history enthusiasts. While most shouldn't expect all of these to have aged well, there are still enough classic gems present and playable curiosities to make this worth owning (when the price is right).Game List:QixSpace SeekerAlpine SkiFront LineWild WesternChack'n PopElevator ActionThe Fairyland StoryHalley‘s CometThe Ninja Warriors

A complete breakdown of how to play the game, game layout, game diagram, gaming abilities, player & enemie(s), ect. is broken down in an inclusive menu option that will leave the player well learned and wanting to play each game, also online ranking for some games. The games are nostalgic and ironically challenging but not unbeatable. Even a newcomer to gaming can learn and appreciate what a detriment these classic are in gaming history.

Nice collection of taito games, good menu options and good game selections. Games are kinda difficult but fun.

I was hesitant to purchase this at 39.99 but at 10 dollars it was an absolute no-brainer. All of these games digitally go for 7.99 in the E-Shop. You are basically paying for 1 and a half games and getting the rest free. No download codes here, they are all on a cart. The games have the same quality of life options such as save states that Arcade Archive is known to have. They all play perfectly. No frame rate issues at all. Ninja Warriors and Elevator Action have always been personal favorites of mine. Def give Haley's Comet a go. It's a very underrated SHMUP. There isn't much else to say about this compilation. If you love arcade games or want to enter the world of arcades for a cheap price. Then this is a great start for the price.

Excellent, recommended

For the right price it has a few games worth playing

A nice collection of games.Very good.

Spent more in quarters on these games back in the day so totally worth the price

Es un compilación de juegos clásicos, muy sencillos pero para el coleccionista está bien, sobre todo por el precio.
