A "definitive collection of arcade and console hits from SNK" can now be played on the Xbox One courtesy of the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection.
This collection of titles, brought to you courtesy of developer Digital Eclipse and publisher Other Ocean, can be yours for $39.99 (USD) on the Xbox One. There are over 25 games included in this compilation, so there will probably be a little something here for everyone.
If you aren't on Xbox, you can still get this on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. This release has been out on those platforms starting as far back as November 2018.
SNK 40th Anniversary Collection includes more than 25 classic titles such as Alpha Mission, Athena, Crystalis, Ikari Warriors, Ikari Warriors II: Victory Road, Ikari Warriors III: The Rescue, Guerilla War, P.O.W., Prehistoric Isle, Psycho Soldier, Street Smart, Iron Tank, TNK III, Vanguard, Chopper I, Fantasy, Munch Mobile, SASUKE vs COMMANDER, Time Soldiers, Beast Busters, Bermuda Triangle, OZMA WARS, PADDLE MANIA, S.A.R., World Wars—and exclusively for Xbox One owners, the Japanese and North American versions of the acclaimed console baseball title, Baseball Stars! Players can get the complete experience by playing both the arcade and home console versions for many of these titles.
This collection was prepared for Xbox One by Digital Eclipse, which pioneered accurate video game re-releases starting in 1994, well before “emulation†was a household word. Over 20 years later, the company has been reborn as a new kind of studio; one dedicated to not only restoring gaming’s heritage, but to preserving it and keeping it alive and available for future generations.
