It's been 40 years since legendary studio SNK first appeared. 40 years! So, while young whippersnappers are getting into retro games through collections that aren't even middle-aged yet like the SNES Classic Mini and the PSOne mini console, SNK is taking us back even further to the glory days of the arcades with the SNK 40th ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION.
There are 24 titles available, including the likes of Alpha Mission and Ikari Warriors. Steps have been taken to make sure this collection works for a modern audience, too. Players can rewind and save at any time, while the graphics have been brought up to 4K resolution and the controls have been redesigned for a modern feel.
For those really wanting to take a deep dive there's also the SNK Museum, which includes high definition artwork and original promotional assets.
