Streets of Rage 2 holds up the best in my eyes. I pop it in from time to time, since I got it when Sega first released it individually, I've still yet to beat it on Mania difficulty. Some sound emulation doesn't sound quite right, but that's to be expected I think with any kind of old video game port. Any word on the pricing of this collection though? That may be a deal breaker.
I was playing on PC last night and yes it is really bad matchmaking. I'm pretty much running into all the same problems as everyone else. Then when I do get into games, teams are either unbalanced or the level differences among the players is really wide.
As one of the posters pointed out above, there are supposedly fixes coming in DLC in March, but I honestly hope they are doing whatever they can do to get it out sooner. I don't mean the new map and items, but they have to fix the matchmaking bugs soon. When your game lives or dies by your player base, you can't expect everyone to put up with a semi-busted game in the hopes that this DLC will fix everything about it.
I actually just finished playing Nanashi no Game (The Nameless Game) for the DS. It was released only in Japan by Square Enix. It's a first person survival horror game about a cursed game that spreads wirelessly through this universe's version of the NDS. After you play the game you die after seven days. It may have been a total rip off of The Ring and a lot of the scares were cheap, but damn if I wasn't creeped the hell out the first time I was being chased by ghosts that you have no way of fighting.
Plus the cursed game itself was in the style of a overhead 8-bit RPG with some really haunting music which was pretty cool.
Same thing happened to me, I noticed when I saw the fraudelent charges show up on my credit card statement. But since I haven't and now can't log into my account, I couldn't see exactly what the points were spent on. Now I just logged onto my account via the Xbox website and lo and behold, the most recently played game was Fifa 2012. #FIFAconspiracy
@Thoseposers: What if I told you for me, it's never been a matter of quality comparison. I mean trying to compare something like Tiny Wings or Dungeon Raid to full blown games like Professor Layton, Mario & Luigi RPG or Advance Wars is silly. It's always been a matter of convenience to me. Gone are my college days where I had a long public commute and hours of deadtime between classes to get my handheld gaming on. Now I can only do handheld gaming in smaller sized chunks which many iPhone games do perfectly. Plus, while mobile games are a far cry away in depth and quality of the handheld/console library, I can't deny that many of them are simply just fun to play.
I know it's not for everyone, but hopefully you can at least understand why many people, including the staff on this very site, do play mobile games.
