Why It Rocks

 * 1) The game is structured like Konami's Castlevania and Contra Anniversary Collections, with each game's logo displayed on the right and the player-selected game and its description on the left, with the game's music being played in the background.
 * 2) Games that didn’t originally have save features get save states and some of them get infinite lives cheats.
 * 3) Most of the games are near intact from their original versions. Only minor changes like updated textures and bug fixes were done.
 * 4) It features games that have rarely been rereleased like Mischief Makers, Silhouette Mirage, Rakugaki Showtime, Bangai-O and Stretch Panic.
 * 5) It brought rereleased games like Guardian Heroes and Radiant Silvergun, which were originally exclusive to the Xbox 360 and Xbox One (via backwards compatibility with the 360), to the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 and 5.
 * 6) For games that only feature Japanese voices and text, it shows translated subtitles below depending on the language chosen in the options.
 * 7) It has a bonus book, both in game and physical, where you can read about Treasure's games, interviews with Treasure's key people and look at pictures of the box arts of each title, similar to Konami's Anniversary Collection series.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) Some of Treasure's more popular games that were not proper IPs of the company like McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure and Yu Yu Hakusho Makyo Toitsusen couldn't be included due to trademark, copyright and licensing issues.
 * 2) *Additionally, Wario World, and Treasure's sequels to previous games like Gunstar Super Heroes were not included.
 * 3) *In addition, Sin and Punishment is exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version due to Nintendo owning the rights to the Sin and Punishment IP.

Trivia

 * This compilation marks the first time that Mischief Makers, Silhouette Mirage, Rakugaki Showtime, the original Bangai-O and Stretch Panic have seen re-releases on modern platforms.
 * This compilation also marks the first time that the original Guardian Heroes, Silhouette Mirage, Radiant Silvergun, Rakugaki Showtime, and Stretch Panic have been ported onto a Nintendo platform.
 * The versions of this compilation on non-Nintendo platforms do not have Sin and Punishment. The reason for this is due to Sin and Punishment being a Nintendo IP.
 * The PC versions of this game will be released in three volumes with four games per volume, Volume 1 will consist of Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Headdy, Alien Soldier and Light Crusader, Volume 2 will consist of Guardian Heroes, Mischief Makers, Silhouette Mirage and Radiant Silvergun, and Volume 3 will consist of Rakugaki Showtime, Bangai-O, Stretch Panic and Ikaruga, while the console versions will have all the games included in one package.
 * This is the second video game compilation where all of its games were developed by Treasure, the first being Sega Ages 2500 Vol. 25: Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box for the PlayStation 2, which was released in 2006.
 * Treasure had gotten the licenses for Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Headdy, Alien Soldier and Light Crusader from Sega, Mischief Makers and Rakugaki Showtime from Square Enix, and Sin and Punishment from Nintendo, while the rest of the games in this compilation, Treasure did not have to get licenses for, because they already owned the rights to them.
 * Recently, the compilation's release date was delayed to September 10, 2023, in order to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Gunstar Heroes, their first game.
