I'm a massive fan of retro games getting modern rereleased in collections with similar games, whether they're from the same series, were on a specific retro console together, or whatever. It had me thinking what retro or semi-retro game compilations would you absolutely die if they ever announced?
BTW, What I mean by semi-retro are games that were released in that weird limbo period between what is confidently called retro now and slightly more modern stuff that some might now consider retro just yet. Let's just say semi-retro is Gen 6 (PS2, XBOX, GC, and Dreamcast) and Gen 7 (PS3, 360, Wii).
-
I'd say gen 6 is most definitely retro no question about it.
Gen7 has semi online patches plus the grapics on especially the non nintendo side are pretty comparable to nowadays. The differences grapicly ain't huge here anymore, for those you could argue the limbo position. With gen 6 you can tell it's still in the early days of 3D. most games with some exceptions can still look rough around the edges. gen 7 has comparable grapics to current gen. it is the last gen where we got a sizable upgrade in visuals.

This one is cheating a bit since it isn't technically retro (well kind of), but it would be awesome if Nintendo did a compilation of Ocarina of Time 3D and Majora's Mask 3D for the Switch.
-
Give me a goemon collection
especially since most entries never came out in the west and lack official translation. 2d and 3d era.
Shining force collection, especially since some later entries where japan only.
And perhaps a sega saturn collection with the more niche titles such as Psychic assasin.
Compilations of More niche arcade games that never got a home console release can never hurt
-
I have quite a few in mind from PS1/PS2:
- Xenosaga Trilogy (PS2)
- Silent Hill Collection (1-4 - PS2)
- Metal Gear Solid Collection (1-4 + Peace Walker)
- Classic Resident Evil Trilogy Bundle (PS1)
- Classic Tekken Bundle Vol.1 (Tekken 1-3 PS1)
- Classic Tekken Bundle Vol.2 (Tekken Tag, 4 & 5 - PS2)
- Onimusha Collection - ALL OF THEM THIS TIME... (1-4 - PS2)
- Drakengard Legcacy Collection (1 & 2 - PS2)
- Mortal Komabt PS2 Collection (Deadly Alliance, Deception, Armageddon + Shaolin Monks - PS2)
- Jak & Daxter Trilogy (PS3 Remaster on PS4/5)
- Ratchet & Clank Trilogy (PS3 Remaster on PS4/5)
- Sly Cooper Trilogy (PS3 Remaster on PS4/5)
- Shadow Hearts Trilogy (PS2)
- Grandia HD Collection (The one that was releases on Switch for PS4 Plz....)
Also hoping with the Final Fantasy 35th Anniversary we'll get all The Pixel Remastered releases bundled in a Physical Edition - With a mod that fixes the font ;D
-
If you like retro collections, I suggest getting an Evercade. Every release is either a retro collection or an indie-game collection. And every release is only $20.
-
Castlevania DS and 3D collections.

Hell yes!
-
For years, I've wanted a PlayStation 2 Tales of Collection that would include:
- Tales of Destiny 2
- Tales of Rebirth
- Tales of Symphonia
- Tales of Destiny DC
And if they tossed in some bonus games like the Narikiri Dungeons or the 2D iteration of Hearts, then that would be icing on the cake.

This is all I really want. After DQ XI became maybe my second or third favorite RPG ever, I’ve been wanting to go back and play all the ones I skipped, and it’s really hard to (the DS ones are just so flippin’ expensive).

I would love a Twisted Metal compilation, even if it was on the lazy level of the Super Mario 3D All-Stars I'd take it. Same with Ape Escape. I adore both of these series but I am saddened because I feel they're starting to slip the minds of gamers at this point, while Twisted Metal: Black and Ape Escape 2 have had digital releases on PS4, I don't think that there was enough promotion to keep the PS2 Classics line alive on PS4 considering that I think 2017 was the last time any were released.
I known there's rumors that there is a new Twisted Metal in development for PS5, and I desperately hope that's true, but with it being a rumor I take it with a mighty fine pinch of salt.

The Konami Beat ‘em Up Collection
- Metamorphic Force
- Asterix

- D&D Shadow Over Mystara
- D&D Tower of Doom

Yeah, these won’t happen due to licensing issues. I can dream.
-
We need an Ultima collection. Ports of the PC games to consoles.
I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VII Part 2, VIII, IX, Underworld 1, Underworld 2, Worlds of 1, Worlds of 2.
Although it could all realistically fit on one piece of physical medium, I’d be fine if they were split into 2.
-
Another Sega Genesis compilation, since Sega hasn't released one in at least two months (hope they're OK)
Also it would have Sonic 2 and not 1 or 3

But seriously, why not a Saturn collection?! That would print money! I'd even be happy with a Master System collection.
-
I'd like to see collections of the PS1/PS2 RPG series myself, both because since I was never a playstation person and missed them growing up and because some have gotten a bit on the expensive side. Things like:
.hack
Lunar
Shin Megami Tensei
Suikoden
Wild Arms
Xenosaga
-
In all honesty, I'd like to see the three Lego Batman games on Switch.
