        <description><![CDATA[While I know there's a thread in the General gaming forum on this one, and much discussion over on the Nintendo forum, all praises be upon it, I think the game is pretty significant for the Arcade &amp; Retro enthusiasts (see what I did there).<br />
I reckon it represents a massive change in the way classic games are represented, not some cold cash in of a games compilation or via VC, not some update/reboot with reimagined HD visuals and zero personality, it demonstrates a respect for the source material and an understanding of what made it great in the first place, in that time and on that hardware.<br /><br />
So, I'd love to hear others opinions, especially if you've bought and played it, regardless of format.<br /><br />
I have it on the Switch and it's simply gobsmacking.<br />
Not to lay on the superlatives, but it's hard not to when you've played it, it's really better than I could have possibly expected.<br /><br />
But I'd rather hear your views, pro or con, on the title.<br /><br /><div>
