Hah, I almost totally overlooked that. Thanks for pointing it out. ^_^

Maybe this is the start?

Funny you should post this just as SNK announced SNK Arcade Classics: Volume 1 with 16 classics for PS2 and PSP.

The CD-i games would definetly be interesting as well as some sort of Virtual Boy collection. But Nintendo basically shun these consoles so fat chance.

Oh and the Zelda compilation doesn’t count as it was not officially for seperate resale. Although some retailers did sell it individually.

I think your forgetting the Zelda compilation that was released for the Gamecube. You got a Zelda compilation for free when sending in two barcodes to Nintendo Australia. The compilation contained Zelda 1, 2, OoT, MM and a demo of Wind Waker. You should know about that one since we have it. Nintendo also did the OoT and OoT Master Quest bonus disc with Zelda:WW. I doubt that we’d see a Wars compilation or Fire Emblem compilation since the games aren’t that in demand.

I’d doubt Nintendo would ever let it see the light of day but I’d love to see the CDI Nintendo games.

I think a suitable replacement for these compilation is for the PSN, Live Arcade and Virtual console stores to start offering bundles of games together for a discounted price similiar what is being offered on Steam with the id collection and Rockstar collection.

Growing up the Wario/Mario Land games were some of my favourite games. That would have made a great compilation.

Although Its not very often that you see compilations of portable games.

I’m still waiting for a Wario Land compilation. Something tells me that I’ll be waiting a long time.

Hey RacketBoy thanks for dropping by. ^_^

Yeah I don’t think that we’ll see any of those compilations come to fruitation. Its a pity though as they’d be totally awesome.

Excellent list
I never thought of the Dreamcast / Saturn collection thing. As much as I love the original machines, it would be great to have a “greatest hits” collection ported to a newer machine. that will be the day
