While I obviously can't say with 100% certainly that there weren't private complaints, publicly it was just one complainer on MeTV's Facebook page and the channel quickly replied with an apology to the person and a promise not to air those episodes in the future. There's no massive campaign against certain old episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies (If so, I'm sadly sure CBS would pull the allegedly problematic episodes from the syndication package Yet anyone can pull up the CBS Syndication Bible and see that all 274 episodes are available). Sat 13th Jun It happened as I said it did.If nothing else, the fact that the wishes of many of you actually happened just a few years ago should give you hope that these Konami games could again resurface officially down the road. I can understand the desire with the age of these systems and today's HD televisions in wanting this one revisited on a modern platform like the Switch, but it's nice just the same that there's an official option to enjoy the emulated arcade original on consoles that many of us own at least one of at NintendoLife.

Alas though, I think all three were delisted well before the Xbox One backwards compatibility initiative, so owners can only play them on an actual 360.Īnd while we have to go all the way back to the PS2 era and 2005, Wikipedia says that even Turtles in Time made it out on the PS2, GameCube, and original Xbox.
SUNSET RIDERS SEGA EBAY PS3
While the licenses didn't appeal to me so they were some of the few classic arcade games I've passed over the chance to buy, I'm 99% certain that Konami's Simpsons, X-Men, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles saw Xbox Live Arcade releases on the 360 (And likely releases for the PS3 as well). Too bad so many of you apparently missed out, unless the wishes are just because you'd like to see them hit the Switch. Speaking of which, roping in a second, third or even fourth player turns this into one of the most amusing party games on Switch – and it's not even a party game.Īs far as I'm aware, the classic Konami games you guys are longing for have seen semi recent emulated releases on modern gaming hardware. It's just a couple of brief interludes, but they're entirely unwelcome when you just want to get back to the good stuff. It isn't fun, and even at just a minute or so it goes on for too long. Taking the form of a first-person shooting gallery, you simply angle the stick towards the enemy cowboys as they pop up in sequence, then hit the fire button. In what's largely a flawless piece of work, it's a shame that they threw in a tedious bonus round – it's not as though the game needed livening up and it's a pretty dull way to earn extra points. These aesthetics combined with the rollicking pace of Sunset Riders provide an instant and mostly sustained adrenaline rush. It's the Saturday morning cartoon that never was. The rousing, orchestra-hit-filled soundtrack (from Snatcher composer Motoaki Furukawa) fits perfectly with the gorgeous, expressive graphics these brilliantly blend the Hollywood Western style with a frisson of pure anime, resulting in a consistent, characterful experience that never betrays itself. We were a little surprised that Sunset Riders has made it to the Switch in an unedited form, given its cheerfully un-PC genre pastiche and stereotyped characters such as Chief Scalpem and Paco Loco – but here it is, all present and correct. One of Konami's best games ever and produced at the height of the company's powers, Sunset Riders is a multiplayer blast through a world inspired by the Spaghetti Westerns of yore we're talking cowpokes, saloons, can-can girls and a fistful of dynamite.
The arcade original almost hit Xbox 360 as part of its ill-fated Game Room line, but this is the first time the original arcade version of Sunset Riders has been playable at home – short of buying your own cabinet.Īnd what a treat it is. Not officially available anywhere since making its arcade bow (outside of the well-intentioned but obviously weaker home ports on the SNES and Mega Drive, at least), Konami's phenomenally good Western-themed run n' gun Sunset Riders has finally been re-released as part of Hamster's superb Arcade Archives line.
