With all that out of the way, let’s see how SNK 40th holds up, and if it met my expectations of being a great treasure chest of obscure goodness. Reprinting the more obscure games included here, rather than yet another port of King of Fighters or Samurai Shodown is what made me very interested in this, and I hope collections like this inspire other companies to dig up their obscure titles to let others experience them. Yet, here we are, several years after a few PS Mini ports and a Japan only retail compilation of them, we finally get a proper collection of SNK’s early hits, including some cult classics that have never been reprinted since launch! SNK 40th was one of my most wanted titles of the entire year, solely because it promised to do something that I always want more from this industry: document and revive obscure games for a new generation to play them. Remember, the period from the early Neo Geo to the excellency of titles such as Garou, King of Fighters 98, Shock Troopers Second Squard or Real Bout 2 was incredibly rough, so it’s hard to imagine pre-NG SNK would be any better, or that they would even acknowledge the times before they became well known with the Neo Geo. But believe it or not, SNK actually made games that weren’t fighters or clones of other games, or at least, games actually good enough to be cared about before their high points of the Neo Geo. Yes, that SNK, the very same company that became famous with the Neo Geo and their dozens of Street Fighter II clones with ridiculous difficulty spikes, and seemingly made nothing else but that, even after they went bankrupt in the early 2000s and became SNK Playmore before finally dropping that last word in recent years. Companies such as Nintendo, Namco and Capcom have been operating from the late 70s or early 80s to the modern age, but SNK was also in this group of developers operating during the pre-console era. This is even more apparent as someone who grew up in the Game Boy Advance/PSP Era, but the history of gaming stretches back longer than that. Offering a look back into our past, it’s surprising to see how games we take for granted like Ocarina of Time and Castlevania Symphony of the Night came out over twenty years ago, and are now under this category when they felt like they were brand new yesterday. Retro games are my favorite kind of video games.

If you're a big fan of any one of these games you'll get twice the enjoyment as the game will offer a separate challenge in the different mode.Thanks to NIS America for the review code Title: SNK 40TH Anniversary Collection Classic Nintendo had no way to recreate the twisting control stick, so the games would play notably different at home. Variances between arcade and home console made a big difference as well. It isn't precise, but it's still a pretty awesome way to bring these classic titles home. The developers did a great job of trying to recreate this via dual analog. In the arcade some of the cabinets used a unique joystick that let you twist it while moving to aim. Great care went into this release, offering variations on each game if there were regional variations or even differences on the home releases. Commander, Street Smart, Time Soldiers, TNKIII, Vanguard, and World Wars.
