All of those so far are arcade games (i.e. originally on the arcades)... I suppose RS was Saturn first but other than that.

I would e interested to know about the games that only came out on a console that are highly rated.

That's three votes for Hyper Duel. All I ever hear about that game is how expensive it is.
