A Beam of Light for Compilation Discs
By Shaun Hatton - July 29th, 2008
Although download services for the three major platforms have given publishers a lucrative venue with which to sell their old games to us again, SNK has not given up on the good ol’ compilation disc.
Today, the arcade giant released SNK Arcade Classics Volume 1 for Wii. This disc contains 16 classic NEOGEO arcade hits, some of which are also available on the Virtual Console. Economically speaking, it makes much better sense to get the games on this disc.
Here’s hoping more publishers will continue to put their old games out on hardcopy formats. Digital distribution is nice, but it shouldn’t cost more than something that actually has a physical incarnation.
