If you don’t like retro, than sure, this may not be an appropriate purchase for you. But for children of the 80s/90s, it comes highly recommended as one of the best retro collections out there.
The real issue here is when the other games drop in December. That'll mean only 14 out of 31 games are on the cartridge. Only 45% of the game is on the cart? What is this, L.A. Noire? Thankfully you can play the 14 on-cart games no problem without an update.
Game selection is varied, ranging from shooters to beat-em-ups and RPGs. I mostly bought this just for Crystalis on Switch, so I was happy with that. I'm glad that game is on the cartridge. Some games are overly difficult, with many one-KOs, like the first 2 Ikari Warrior games. That was how it was done in that era but if you're a more modern gamer you might not enjoy that. This collection only features 2D games as well. It's nothing like the Rare Replay collection on Xbox where it has a mix of 2D and 3D games. The mass appeal for this game isn't as much in my opinion.
For those hardcore fans out there I'm glad to say that you can display the games in their original resolution, stretching the image for a larger picture, and doing widescreen. The widescreen isn't native, so games will look stretched out. I mostly play the games in 4:3 but stretched out so fills the screen but doesn't distort the image. You can also flip the games on their side when in handheld mode, so you can use that wacky new flipgrip when it comes out to play your top down shooters more effectively.
Overall, great games and nicely done selection. I just wish the 20 original games were on the cartridge.
While all the games are nice, esp Ikari Warriors (which is the main reason I got it)....the fact that the actual playable screen is so small makes this game not worth it.
Waste of money and major disappointment.

If you love retro games, you need this collection in your life.
北米版ですが日本語対応。特に何もしなくてもメニュー等は日本語になります、またオプションから英語・フランス語・イタリア語・ドイツ語・スペイン語の切り替えができます。
ゲームは北米版(英語)と日本版とをゲーム選択中にXボタンで切り替えができます。
世界地図マークのグローバル版は英語です(日本語表示が元々無いやつです)。
また家庭用版が存在すれば選択もできます。北米版家庭用、日本版家庭用が選択できるのはなかなか太っ腹な仕様だと思います。
ただ基本が「北米版・アーケード」なので度々ボタンを押して切り替える必要が有るのはやや面倒です。
縦横画面の切り替えも可能です。一度設定すると起動時の健康警告と企業ロゴ以外全て縦画面になります。
従来縦画面のゲームは大きな表示で楽しむ事が出来ますが、元々横画面のゲームは逆に小さくなってしまうので注意です。
この縦横表示の切り替えは最初のタイトル画面から入るオプションでしか切り替えが出来ないので、やや面倒ではあります。
可能ならゲーム選択時かゲーム中の一時中断のオプションから切り替えできると便利なのですが…。
ゲームだけでなく当時のSNKのチラシや小冊子なども収録されています。
解説は英語ですが資料自体は北米チラシ特集を除けばほぼ日本語ばかりなので問題ないです。
BGMの再生モードもありお好きな曲を延々聴く事も出来ます。
歴史的資料と言っても良いぐらいのコレクションです。正式な日本語版も出してくれればと思うのですが、今のところアナウンスが無いので、『適正な価格であれば』北米版を買ってしまっても良いと思います
