Reviews

Overall if you were to judge the collection on the games alone, it is a fine package of some well-known Taito games and some lesser-known ones, whether you would call them milestones is up for debate. As a package you will be saving money rather than buying them separately from the E-Shop, however, I still feel that more could have been done by Taito.

Taito Milestones may simply contain 10 classic arcade titles and nothing else but some of these games offer timeless enjoyable challenges that you can spend hours trying to master. I just wish there was some kind of bonus content to scratch more of that retro itch.
