I mean this is a neat collection as a historical oddity being brought forward. Its good that they are being preserved this way. Im going to get it for nostalgia reasons.
This
I still hope dueling fireman can come out, that like the most interesting of these, I believe it was finished but never released, with connections to a parody cult
Laser disc a classic lost part of history
People are collecting the movies again for the artwork.
These LD games need to be recreated in HD using camera negatives, color correction, digitally cleaned up, offered in 4:3 & 16:9 aspect ratios, and with optional Sega CD soundtracks to be worthwhile.
Honestly I'm going to pick this up for my switch just for the pure curiosity of the games. Some of them like time gal have gone up quite a bit in price on the Sega CD so it will definitely be nice to pick this up to experience some of these games for the first time.
I loved time gal! I had it for Sega Cd. Sounds awesome!
Does anyone remember Sega Hologram Time Travel? I thought that one was pretty cool.
I remember that one! It doesn’t seem to get talked about much these days. I know it wasn’t a great playing game, but it was darn impressive for the time period. We all thought the future would definitely include some incredible hologram games, but pretty much nah…😛
I used to play that. Never seemed to work. Maybe I just sucked.
I would buy this just for Time Gal! I played it for the first time on the Sega CD. It was the best purchase I made for it back in the day. I still enjoy it today. It is a bit easier than the other LD titles in my opinion.
Loved TimeGal on Sega CD. Was never any good at it, but felt like a next-gen game, and what the cd was actually meant to be used for.
This is great! Laserdisc is notoriously expensive and other console ports of these LD's were poor at best in terms of video quality compared to the LD and the arcade editions. I love these games and just trying to find them is a hassle let alone the prices currently. 100% ordering regardless of it being in Japanese.
Taito is putting out all their stuff now. They are getting close to data east territory.
I'm not a laser disc game fan but I weirdly want this anyway.
Only Laser Disc game I ever played was Space Ace
I did not know about that Space Battleship Yamato game. I really need to check that out.
Road Avenger on the sega cd is badass
The best. It was on iPhone but not anymore.
I love video game compilations, especially retro video game compilations! I'm looking forward to this!
Cliffhanger, which was based on the Studio Ghibli anime Castle of Cagliostro, was my favorite laserdisc-based game. It was a quarter-eater.
Never thought I would have seen the day where we finally get to play the LD QTE games until this year! Glad we’re getting this on the Switch.
Probably now the best way to play Time Gal since the Laseractive version is thousands! Would've been cool if they could've snagged the rights to Triad stone/Strahl off Data East, that's the best example of this type of game imo.
the laser disc games with Dragon's Lair and Space Ace were jaw dropping amazing for the time and was a promise of the future but as time went on games evolved so yes they are interesting but quite dated now for modern gamers who expect way more. It is def one for those who want a collection of past games and considering I own both Capcom arcade collections I do agree to a degree but this isnt something I would buy for myself. Plus Sega CD wise there is way other games like Lunar and Vay which appeal way more and also the Japan only ones of which there was some sweet JRPGS in there
They are better left as something I remember enjoying trying to play in the arcade as a kid. No way do I want to go back there again.
Time gal was on the Sega cd. Would like hd versions of Road Blasters and Cobra Command too.
I DLed yesterday and having a blast. The Spaceship Yamato one is good fun too.
My switch collection is basically weird old game collections.
This seems perfect to add lol
I've been dying for an HD release of these on modern consoles. Really hope PS4 gets this, or at least on PC.
Next... PLEASE Sewer Shark in HD!!!!!
Hell yeah! Give us one with Road Avenger/Road Blaster with the Sega CD soundtrack and I'll buy it day one!
I feel the same way, it's difficult for me to go back to these games. I played Dragons Lair and Space Ace for my little Cousins. They enjoyed watching it, more than I enjoyed playing it. For them it was like watching a movie. A part of me will always love these games and the memories of seeing them in the arcade. I just don't love playing them now....
I am glad that there are companies are re-releasing older games. Gaming preservation is important and I support it.
It is amazing these 3 games will be on a little cart.
Awesome 😊
I might pick up for Time Gal, I am not familiar with the other two.
I played Road Blaster many times. It was all about the split second timing events. Sometimes, I had to stop playing, because the was so challenging, I had to stop an
come back a couple days later.
Yeah, i agree. They are not "good games" as in the hardcore gamer sense, but they are fun with friends, and i think in 2023 they are especially fun on streams where a streamer can introduce their reactions and riff with chat over it.
It's slightly off the topic, but i remember seeing music laser discs at ' sam goody' in the mid 80s. One was singer melissa manchester and the other was elton john actually frim a concert in russia. He was probably the first western artist to perform there. I remember seeing part of it playing in the store and as I recall the frame rate seemed low even by the standards of the day.
Laserdiscs are amazing. You just saw some poor pressing. (Or you are thinking about VCD)
LDs are 480i at 60fps or 576i at 50fps.
These games were released individually on the playstation 1 but in japan only. I did have Ninja Hayate.
I'm kinda hyped for this.... a few years ago I got hooked on Ninja Hayate off a Playstation emulator so happy to see that one here. played a little bit of Time Gal so may try to learn that one since it's here too. Not familiar with Yamato outside of seeing the Starblazers dub, but would be curious to try that one as well! so for the right price I'd pick this one up!!
With the Laser Disc games it was a 50/50 chance to get the right answer to move or you just died. So it was basically like flipping a coin. But really isn't what you find in games now of days that you have to explore while playing most games.
I was excited until I heard the price. I grew up with these games and they are actually challenging if you havent memorized all the scenes and fun to watch.
Preserving old games on newer consoles?
This i will support
Id pock these up. Part of gaming history, and some really excellent animation!
This is interesting. I had VHS as a kid not Laser Disc but I think they look cool. Time Gal always reminded me of Rem from Dream Hunter Rem. I hope the game makes it everywhere so that we all can play these wonderful classic games. Cool video. ^_^
Interesting to use the HD Remaster Videos and replace it with the laserdisc Versions for better quality on Emulators.
I preordered this collection just to own it. Yamato being released is a big deal. I look forward to playing the games.
If the price is right I'd give it a go.
Yamato, sold already just because of that. Grew up on Starblazers.
Wonder if the remastered video is taken from the LD or from the original film(?) sources.
I had Time Gal on Sega CD back in the day, but I really never got the hang of the gameplay style.
while i'm not a laserdisc fan, i enjoy retro collections and appreciate their preservation on cartridges. i hope we get Smash TV on a switch cartridge...
There should be an Egret Mini II version as well lol
Awesome I love games like this even though I suck at them.
You'd be surprised at the image you can get off a LaserDisc.
Plenty of 1080p examples on my channel. Even have a 2k upscale.
I’m one of the crazy few that actually owns TimeGal on LD and even play it on my LaserActive once every few years. It’s a fun novelty and I’m sure some will enjoy playing a collection of these, but they aren’t great by any means, not even for the time.
Wow you have the LD I’d love to get that..❤
I'm in the minority when it comes to LD games, but I love the genre. I actually owned Time Gal, Ninja H, Cobra Command and Road Blaster for the PS1, when most probably didn't even know they got released. The fact that a company is even acknowledging LD games in this day and age is a huge step in the right direction. As there are tons of amazing offerings that never saw proper ports, and often were never even seen in arcades due to the expensive upkeep and high breakdown rates. I'm hoping this release spurs more developers to release more offerings, but sadly it is highly unlikely. The fact that so far this is only shown for Switch and Japan, says their taking a wait and see attitude. The high price is also an issue, but if a proper clean up of original footage is being done, that is not cheap. So hopefully this comes west and also gets offered on other systems, as that may bring the price down if this gets offered on a disc based system, so fingers crossed. I for sure plan to get this at some point for the unreleased game alone and to show support for actually releasing LD games in 2023.
Road Avenger. I remember the game on the Sega cd system. Where you are a guy goes after a gang of thugs that killed his girlfriend. I really suck at the game for a while until I figured it out. They should’ve added that to the collection.Still waiting for Sega HD Remastered version of Kriss Kross Make Your Own Music Video. Lol. 😂
It depends. How much do you want to have these games preserved and available portably? If the price is right, i.e. $30 or less (preferably less), I could see myself grabbing this collection
I can see a possible US release with Time Gal & Hayate, as those had US releases. Yamato never came to the US, so they'd have to re-dub all the voices (subtitles would not be good in a quick-tine event game). Also, Road Avenger should've been on this as well.
Road Avenger is data east though a collection of ones for there lds would be some thing.
Ninja 🥷 Hayate is awesome loved playing that one…. Still play Dragons Lair and Space Ace from time to time… might have to pick this up…. Shame no Super Don Quixote
I think its cool for preservation if nothing else.
You can play these in the Singe emulator if you can't wait.
I'd rather watch a LD game playthrough than actually play them past five minutes. It's also the only way I'll get to see the whole thing.
Completely agree, they were a novelty at the time but nothing more than a curiosity to me now.
I'd buy that for a dollar!
Will it be complete on cart ?
Of course it is!!! Time Gal!
Let me know when the Sega MegaLD games show up.
I have a Pioneer laseractive and laserdisc games are so expensive to collect for it
Man I hate when cops go back in time to lock me up. TimeGal
I see them as a fun curiosity, but I wouldn't go out of my way to own them.
Laserdisc game fans should check out some recent fan made LD style games like Friday the 13th, Titan AE, Princess Mononoke, Starblazers, Nightmare on Elmstreet, just to name a few! Google fan made singe2
Were can i find them?
Why you being a hater dawg? At least this beats an Action Max collection am I right? 🤣You're right though most laser disc games are just quick time event games. There is one called M.A.C.H 3 that I'd like to see re-released. That one is a flight combat type of game and isn't quick time. Now that I think about it, it probably hasn't aged well and is a terrible game.
Heh, the special edition should come with an LD
i want it 🥺
i was gonna build a timegal cabinet
$68?!?! 🤣🤣🤣 These companies have lost their damn mind. These are the types of games which should be bonus content on a $20 compilation with thirty other games.
im hyped but bummed out strahl wasn't a taito ld game
Why no Road Avenger?
Right! It is one of the best
Folk hate the Quick Time Events in games in the early 2000s, yet love old LD games. I don’t get it. Sure the artwork is nice and all, but watching a Bluray of the animation would probably be more involving than constantly being interrupted with “action”, “left”, “up” and having to watch the same scene over and over every time you make a mistake.
I would pick up this if there's an english version.
It's fun. But not for a huntdown day one buy.
These aren't really games I would necessarily play....., but for game preservation it's very welcome.
Was going to get it but the shipping is ridiculous more than the item
I'd be interested. But only if a translation was done, can't read Japanese.
I collect Laserdisc movies. They are getting harder to find. The players are getting even harder to find.
Where is Suikoden Remaster ??!!
What?!!!
Did someone really buy them gamecube lights off your store?
Yeah, i had a couple sets. One sold a while ago, the other maybe a couple weeks ago.
Laser disc?
I spent a lot of time in the arcades back in those days and TBH, I didn't enjoy these games even then. I would walk right past dragon's lair to put another quarter in the Tempest or Donkey Kong machine and countless others of course. The laser disc games just never felt like actual games to me. I have them in my emulation build just for the nostalgia aspect of it but to this day, I never play them.
They were sort of a "spectacle" as you say. I remember standing there looking at the graphics thinking they looked cool and all but the few times I actually spent the 50 cents to give them a try, I just didn't find them fun to play. Costing twice as much as all the other games didn't help either. That made no sense at all. At least from the consumer's perspective.
I remember some places actually charging more than 50 cents for some of these Laserdisc games. Like you could put a quarter in so many other games and play for a decent amount of time, but I felt like these laserdisc games took your money and it was over quick.
@@Madlittlepixel I remember them exactly the same way. At 13-14 years old those quarters were way too precious to just throw them away like that lol.
The two legends so far have been underwhelming
Laser disc game would have been very impressive when they were released. But even then, it wouldn't have taken many people long to realise they weren't anything special and the term graphics was being used very losely for what was just video sequences. In a way, all they were was a think fast chose your own adventure. With the advent of fmv games in the early 90s on home console, they made a resurgence where they could be repackaged for the home market. But they're really nothing special as games go. More an interesting piece of gaming history'
Guarantee it’s NTSC only
I mean I haven't heard of this before but do have a few TAITO InIn Games but this is a rediculous collection as it only has 3 Games and for what it's worth, ATARI Flashback Classics and ATARI 50 have loads of Games to play at a cheap price compared to this so it's not worth it for a collection.
Meh. I remember playing Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair -- it wasn't that fun at all. I'd rather just watch the cartoon without any button pushing. Thanks for saving me money.
Ah yes. The Nintendo Switch, dumping ground for quick and dirty ports, and shameless cash grabs. I don't think these games are necessarily worth purchasing outside of original hardware. Granted, they are pricey for the OG releases, but like...these are titles you could release on DVD and play on your remote. Blueray...if resolution is your thing. I won't pick on people for buying these, but it's certainly not something I'd purchase outside of a heavily discounted, used market.
There better be a western release or I will become an enemy of this company!!!!!!
Actually laser disc games were NEVER popular. My dad was one of the few people that owned a laser disc player. Nobody we knew really knew anything about laserdisc. Also, we didn’t even know about laserdisc games. So it’s a niche thing within a thing that is already very niche to begin with
LaserDisc games weren't something for a home system. They were an arcade only machine that used LaserDiscs to play the game video. They were a unique experience until CD-ROM was released.
Let's be clear, movie games like uncharted have as little gameplay as those old games
