In recent years, classic games from the past have been released one after another, and among them, the ``Rockman EXE series'', which was once very popular on the portable game console Game Boy Advance (GBA), has finally been revived as an Advanced Collection. I accomplished it.
This time, I would like to check out the differences between this latest work, ``Rockman Exe Advanced Collection,'' on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, two of the most popular home game consoles.
First of all, "Rockman EXE Advanced Collection" includes 10 titles that are particularly popular among the series works.
The content of these games is basically the same regardless of the platform, so you can play the same works on both the PS4 and Switch versions. However, each hardware has its own unique characteristics, so by understanding the differences between them, you can expect a more enjoyable gaming experience.
Features of PlayStation4 version
One of the appeals of PlayStation4 is its high performance. However, since Rockman EXE is a pixel art game, it cannot take full advantage of performance such as 4K output.
Operations will be performed on DualShock 4, so if you find it easier to operate on DualShock 4, it may be a good idea to purchase the PlayStation 4 version.
Furthermore, the PS4 has an online service, so you can compete and trade, but the online service is paid, so you will have to pay for it in addition to the software fee.
The obvious difference from Switch is the trophy function. This will give you a greater sense of joy and accomplishment when you clear the game or meet certain conditions.

Features of the Nintendo Switch version
On the other hand, the biggest appeal of the Nintendo Switch is its portability. The Switch is a game console that has both stationary and portable functions, so its big appeal is that you can easily enjoy it anytime, anywhere. You can also play with either the Switch Joy-Con controller or the Pro controller, whichever you prefer.
Online services are paid for on Switch, and you need money other than the software fee to play matches and trade.
There is no trophy function like on PS4, so I think the Switch version has fewer replay elements.
The biggest advantage of the Switch version is that it seems to have a large number of players. This game does not support cross-play as of April 2023, so having a large number of players is a big advantage for playing ranked matches for a long time.

summary
"Rockman Exe Advanced Collection" utilizes the characteristics of both the PS4 and Switch versions. The PS4 version has an attractive trophy function, but the Switch version stands out for its portability and the fun of the split controller.
You can enjoy the same work on either hardware, so please choose the one that suits your play style. With this revival, let's relive the excitement of those days.
