We have a The Lost Vikings: Definitive Edition, now, and it marries the music, controls and aesthetics of the SNES games with the new levels from the Mega Drive. THEY DID THE ABSURD, TOTALLY UNNECESSARY THING THAT I WANTED THEM TO DO. And I found myself thinking, well, in a perfect world, they'd somehow merge together both games by porting the extra content from the Mega Drive into the SNES game, so we get the best of both titles in one, but there's no way that they would do that, right? However, the Mega Drive version has additional, extra levels that do not feature in the SNES game. The SNES version utilises the additional controller buttons (particularly the shoulders) for a much more comfortable control experience. The problem is, each version has an advantage over the other. See, The Lost Vikings is a very enjoyable platform-puzzle game on both SNES and Mega Drive, both versions of which are included here. So what's the crack, here? Why am I getting all giddy again? Because they did the thing I knew at the back of my mind they wouldn't possibly do, because how could they? How could they possibly even know, and how could they fix it? Let me explain. This lot could put out Pit-Fighter and they'd probably find something to include that made it interesting. Do I sound like a fanboy? I suppose I am, a little bit. Then I saw it was by Digital Eclipse! Of Aladdin: The Final Cut fame! Who also made the absolutely blindingly good Street Fighter and Samurai Showdown collections that represented the pinnacle of how to treat bonus content and presentation in retrogaming re-releases! Not to mention the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection.

well, what else could it be? They're the games that saw re-release on GBA back in the day, they're the Blizzard retro games. And seeing the inclusion of The Lost Vikings, Rock N' Roll Racing and Blackthorne was. See, I can't call myself the biggest fan of Blizzard, but I do like their older games. The announcement of the Blizzard Arcade Collection gave me cause to raise my right eyebrow a mere fraction.
