SNK and NIS America announced a new Switch release at PAX East 2018 today, in the form of the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection.

SNK did not announce the full list of games that would be included in this anniversary collection, but did reveal some of the games that will be included, noted below:

• Alpha Mission
• Athena
• Crystallis
• Ikari Warriors
• Ikari III: The Rescue
• Guerrilla War
• P.O.W.
• Prehistoric Isle in 1930
• Psycho Soldier
• Street Smart

• Vanguard
• Victory Road

​

A limited edition was also announced, which will retail for $64.99, and will include the game, an art book, a soundtrack, and a collector's box, which is available on NIS America's online storefront. More games that will be part of the collection are scheduled to be announced at a later date.

Hopefully, they'll allow Western users to play the Japanese version of Psycho Soldier. I know I sound like a total weeb saying that, but the vocals in the English version are just... for lack of a better description, not the best.

Also, here's hoping that they'll include at least one Fatal Fury or Art of Fighting game here.

I don't know any of these games, but I am happy Switch came along in time for these numerous "best of" collections. They're much easier to stomach in a new form factor.

That game selection is bad. I hope is not the console ports but the arcade ones. Cause I dunno. now if it was metal slug and KOF collection, HELL YES! But those seem like console games which was horrendously bad if not based on the arcade counterpart.

 

[kiryu1]

they should've atleast 3 KoF titles, 3 Metal Slug, Garou and Rage of the Dragons.

What about Double Dragon?

 

[Rob Blou]

OMG I'm gonna play Crystalis for the xillion time

 

[pedro702]

if they put all metal slug games in there then i might bite, but having only afew games and 99% of them fighting games will make me not want it.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Crystalis isn't even a arcade game. It's a NES game.

"Ikari Warriors"

ABBA! ABBA!

 

[DarthDub]

Looking forward to it.

 

[BORTZ]

Interesting. I know very very little about SNK. I have been been diving very deep into old pre 90s gaming since I have largely missed that era of games. But I haven't gotten to SNK yet.

 

[Deleted User]

Got dang it. You're right.

Honestly, a Capcom vs. SNK/SNK vs. Capcom Collection for the Switch with all fighting games from both SNK and Capcom would sound fantastic. They could even throw in the Card Fighters Clash games, while they're at it.

That might not happen on, not even on the distant future, that would have to make Capcom and SNK to Re-Sign a contract to publish a game to a new console.

But hey, there is Always Retroarch for That.

how can you call this an SNK collection and not have metal slug?
I know there is more games to be announced but alot of these other games arnt really notable
