![]() ![]() It’s also the only way to get all three of the main games in one set. You get most of the games that matter and it costs less than a single Anthology volume. But if you want the best bang for your buck, I think I’m still going to recommend Turrican Flashback. If you want to play the games with the most features and extras, the Anthology volumes are again your friend. There are still a few games missing, but it’s as good as you can get right now. Why not at least make the archival goodies open in some part from the start?īottom line, if you want the fullest possible package of Turrican games, pick up Turrican Anthology Vol. A considerable amount of it will only unlock once you beat the games with no cheats or extra emulation features, and that’s one heck of an ask. But gaining access to all of those extras is going to require a Herculean effort on your part. You get all of the same options as the Flashback set and then some, with a nice jukebox mode, optional mini-maps, and unlockable art galleries. How about those extra features, though? The most notable new addition here is a very, very welcome rewind feature. The variants are interesting enough to tinker with, but I’m really hard-pressed to say it’s worth dropping seventy bucks for the games alone. And that fifth game is probably the least of them. Turrican Flashback gives you four of those five games for $29.99. Five games spread across two volumes, each of which costs $34.99. But cutting through the variants and ports, you’ve got five distinct Turrican games. For reference’s sake, Turrican Flashback had Turrican, Turrican 2, Mega Turrican, and Super Turrican. Volume II has the Amiga Turrican 3, the Genesis Mega Turrican, the Super NES Super Turrican 2, Mega Turrican Director’s Cut, and Super Turrican Score Attack. Volume I features Turrican and Turrican 2 for the Amiga, plus the Super NES Super Turrican, Super Turrican Director’s Cut, and the Genesis Mega Turrican Score Attack. By the time those two volumes shipped, the emulation wrapper had some additional features and extras not found in Flashback, so that was cool.Īnyway, here they are in digital form! Now anyone can go and buy these two volumes and get a fuller set of Turrican games. And it still didn’t have all of the main Turrican games. The limited physical release had more titles, but was broken into two sets with some odd decisions about what games went where. It was missing a number of games from the series and in some cases didn’t use the optimal versions of the ones it did include. Early last year we reviewed Turrican Flashback, which contained four Turrican games for $29.99. That isn’t quite as cut and dry with Turrican. Specifically, the earlier cut-down digital releases can end up feeling vestigial. I assume this maximizes revenues or something like that, but it can sometimes leave us with strange results. Then, after some time has passed, release that more complete collection in digital form. I get the basic idea: sell a smaller, more affordable collection in both physical and digital forms alongside a more complete, limited physical-only release. Sometimes I can’t quite figure out what ININ Games is doing with its collections. Reviews & Mini-Views Turrican Anthology Vol. I’m sure it still has a long way to go to satisfy the hardcore Sonic fans, but I didn’t have many issues with the launch version of the game and those few that I did have were addressed with this patch. Well, a new update has dropped that has fixed most of the major bugs along with a ton of small ones, corrects those mislabeled bits, and gives us some confidence that SEGA isn’t going to just abandon the whole thing. On the other hand, there are a lot of weird little differences and bugs, the replacement music in Sonic 3 is jarring, and some of those museum bits were mislabeled. It has some fun challenges to clear, and tons of cool museum content. On the one hand, it’s a one-stop shop to get all of the original Genesis mainline Sonic games on your Switch, including the recently elusive Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Sonic Origins is a collection that has a lot of people divided. ‘Sonic Origins’ Gets Updated with Bug Fixes and More ![]() The subjects of today’s reviews are ININ Games’ Turrican Anthology collections and Ultimate Studio’s Hot Lap League: Deluxe Edition.
