Weekly Poll: Compulsory Compilations
December 18, 2005
Let the record show once and for all that video games do not cause violent behavior, and anyone who disagrees with that verdict should get kicked in the shins.
Moving on, let's talk about compilations and collections. A lot of popular video game franchises have been immortalized in anniversary sets and so forth. Mario, Sonic, and Mega Man have each appeared in such collections (and in some cases, two or three). However, there are plenty of long-running game series that deserve the compilation treatment. After all, The Powers That Be can only repackage Super Mario World and Sonic The Hedgehog 2 so many times. It would be nice to see some older titles that haven't seen much love lately to return in a commemorative set.
Personally, I want to see a proper Metroid set that features a dressed-up Metroid II: The Return of Samus and Super Metroid in addition to the original game (with or without the Zero Mission enhancements) or a detailed Castlevania set for Game Boy Advance that includes the first three games in the series. Which franchise do you want to see done up in such a fashion? Cast your vote and leave some comments.
