Arcade games that should have made it to home consoles.

Post Reply New Topic

Just like the title says.

I think the Super Mario Bros. arcade game should be available for purchase in the Wii Shop since it's the 25th anniversary.

I've always liked "The House of The Dead" Series. Even though many of them have hit consoles it has never been in a timely manner. Also I've always wanted to play the first one away from the arcade and as far as I'm aware they have never released #1 to a console. I'm glad motion controllers are substituting for light guns now. I no longer have a projection tv. I've only got a monitor and light guns don't work with that

Now if only they could release them all to PS3 I'd be pretty happy about that

They ported it to Windows and Sega Saturn. I don't know why they didn't include it in the Wii game...maybe they didn't think it was good enough?

Or knowing Sega, they probably "lost" the source code

The games I always wanted on home concoles were "The Simpsons Arcade" & "The Lost World: Jurassic Park Arcade". I had so much fun playing those at bowling alley & movie theater arcades. And I remember searching for them for home video games, sadly neither playstation, N64, or dreamcast had it.

The original Mortal Kombat.

GigaWing: Generations.

...IN AMERICA, anyway.

...some of us crept around that little stipulation...

The only thing I could think of is "Would it really kill them to send Jambo Safari somewhere other than the Wii?"

That Mario Kart arcade game deserves a release. Maybe WiiWare, although that might be overkill, seeing as the Wii already has three Mario Karts on it-Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Wii.

It's probably much too big for VC anyway.
