But to answer your question. No, it looks like no one bought this.
So different from all the other platformers. These games surely are not complete ass,
I find that many of these old arcade games give me more fun than many of the so cold next gen games. The Pacman and Dig-Dug arrengement versions seem to be upgraded versions from the PSP re-arrengments? Nice! I'll pick it up for sure.
Hopefully it's a budget release here, too.
These games do still have a place, to remind everyone where this all started!

took the best bits of batman and ninja gaisen and made a better game then both imo.
The arcade NG is one of the worst games ever made. That's not just popular opinion, it's fact... that game is a suck fest.
