Taito Milestones 2 for Nintendo Switch

For those who don't know, these games are essentially collections of the Arcade Archives games you can buy on the Switch Eshop. Featuring some of Taitos best arcade ports, these collections try to provide a variety of genres of games. There are a variety of screen, sound, and custom control options for each game. I really like the colorful adventure platformers Liquid kids and The New Zealand Story for an easy-going experience. The dinosaur fighting game Dinorex reminds me of the arcade game Primal Rage and was a welcome suprise despite some janky controls. There are also some real hidden gems on here too like Kiki Kaikai better known as Pocky and Rocky for the western audience. It is an excellent top down shoot em up featuring a shinto shrine maiden blasting Japanese yokai. Darius II 3x screen arcade version is an amazing space themed sidescrolling shoot em up that I recommend for any fans of the genre. Overall I think this collection is a reasonably priced package for what you get. I also highly recommend the 3rd collection for Bubble Bobble fans!

10 bon jeux nostalgiques

Llegó bien,a tardo algo de tiempo en llegar, la caja de cartón un poco maltratada pero el juego sin problema.

If you are a fan of old-school retro arcade games from the past, then this collection from the masters at Taito is a must buy. Lots of video games to keep you playing for hours. Taito was a major video game company. They are well-known for lots of great arcade games.

Taito Milestones 2 is a bit of a mixed bag. The collection is full of games that were designed to keep teenagers pumping quarters into arcade cabinets almost 40 years ago. Even when played co-op some of these games were exceedingly difficult. None of that has been lost in translation. The shooters are a bit of fun, and increasingly harder to find these days. Top down or side scrolling, doesn't matter, they all bring that same frenetic gameplay back in the best and worst possible way. Easy to pick up and play, but difficult to get through without having to use more than a few continues. Both Darius II and Metal Black have a lot going on onscreen, but the levels are harder than most of the bosses. Gun Fighter was deifnitely my favorite of the shooters. A couple 2D fighters in Solitary Fighter and Dinorex. Visually the two stand out from anything that was going on at the time. Fighting engines and controls are pretty clunky. V-Fight was one of those games that was relegated to the back of the arcade. Week by week it would get closer to the back door and eventually the truck that would take it away. Sadly Solitary Fighter didn't improve on much. I like the character design, but it lacks the fluidity and depth brought by it's competitors from the same time period. Dinorex... Yeah. Great concept poor execution. I like everything about what this game could be. I found the rest of the games enjoyable. Mizubaku had some old school platforming charm to it. Still, given that there are so many retrogaming collections available, one would expect a little more than what this set had to offer. Don't get me worng, it's not terrible, it's just not as good as some of the other offerings that are out there.
