Virtua Cop 2 was re-ported on PS2

We didn't get that in the US.

[ChainsawGuitarSP]

Darius Burst: Another Chronicle
Psychic Force 2012 (NESiCA ver)
Under Night In-Birth

EDIT: Can't believe I forgot Daemon Bride, I hate myself.

[KAI]

What's the difference between Psychic Force 2012 (NESiCA ver) and the other versions?
Psychic Force Complete is a perfect collection of the series IMO.

[ChainsawGuitarSP]

I honestly don't know if there is any difference between the re-release. I do know there was a bit of loketesting before it dropped. I just want it on PSN/XBLA with netplay.
Should definitely buy the Complete Collection though, the original PF looks like it's also worth playing.

Aliens vs Predator (capcom)

An odd bit of trivia, but the Capcom arcade game doesn't have an "s" after Alien.

I would have thought that was canon, since it's the 'Alien' series or saga. It would only be Aliens if it was directly related to Cameron's sequel.

[Mortificator]

Fox can't seem to stick with a name. Rebellion's Jaguar FPS was Alien vs. Predator, their first PC game in the series was Aliens versus Predator, and the their most recent was Aliens vs. Predator. The older movie was titled Alien vs. Predator and the sequel was Aliens vs. Predator Requiem. The terrible SNES game was called Alien vs. Predator in the US and Aliens vs. Predator in Japan, especially weird when you consider that Cameron's film was called "Alien 2" in Japanese.

Can't believe I forgot Daemon Bride, I hate myself.

Daemon Bride Additional Gain would be better, the original game sux.

[Jeneki]

Would also like to see a port of Demon Front. I've seen two versions of the arcade, a PGM board and a standard jamma board (Korean version?). Not sure if there is any difference between the two besides the format though.

* Daytona USA 2.
* Star Wars Trilogy Arcade [might be hampered by inadequate control, but eh].
* Hell, anything else on Model 3 hardware that hasn't been ported.
* Dangun Feveron.
* Planet Harriers, got a chance to play this somewhat recently, and I want it so bad.
* I'd love to say Star Wars Racer Arcade, but I don't know how well that'd work without the original steering controls.
* Outrunners. I know the Genesis port exists, but it's really shit. I want a real port.
* Both versions of Samurai Shodown 64 .

[Austin]

A worthwhile port of Outrunners.

[Ghegs]

Battle Gear 4
Darius Burst
Dead Heat
Dragon Breed
R-Type Leo
Scud Race
Tetris Grand Master

Include both versions for the sake of curiosity like with the original Arcana Heart PS2 port.

[Hagane]

It is truly a shame that the best beat'em up ever doesn't have a port. Licensing rights are troublesome I guess.

[emphatic]

Toaplan Shooting Collection Complete - disc release for XBox 360
Tecmo Arcade Classics HD - XBLA releases with arcade and 360 modes for Rygar, Solomon's Key, Gemini Wing, Bomb Jack, Star Force and Super Star Force

Jaleco Collection - XBLA with Psychic 5, Argus, Desert War, Game Paradise, P-47, P-47 Aces,
Raizing Collection - XBLA - Garegga etc.

[Marc]

Sega Rally, Daytona 2, Scud Race, Out runners, AB Cop, Planet Harrier, Buggy Boy... Too, too many.

[opt2not]

Speaking of the best Beat-em-up I'd like to see a proper port of The Punisher, and D&D: Shadow over Mystara.

Also a better port of Raiden DX (with vertical screen options) and a re-release/update of Einhander would be nice. Yeah I know Einhander isn't arcade, but it's still a fun game...

Weird nobody mentioned Star Wars Arcade or Scud Race.

Star Wars and its sequels are unlockable extras in Rogue Squadron III (that also allows you to play Rogue Squadron II missions in co-op on one TV, split screen).

Since "Star Wars Arcade" was the name of the 32X game, I assume GP meant this:


Very cool game, I was lucky enough to play it in an arcade in 1999, before Star Wars was forever tarnished by the prequels. I was so hoping for a Dreamcast port, but it never happend.
For those who care, I just read that Star Wars Trilogy Arcade recently became fully playable on a System 3 emulator called SuperModel. I guess you need a very fast PC.

[GaijinPunch]

Not mention it has a Sega deluxe SD motion-based G-LOC cab as well for the classic arcade game purists like myself -- that's one you don't see anymore these days as it's a relic from a long ago era known as the "Silver Age of Arcades" lore. It certainly takes up some valuable real estate flooring space just to be properly set up (is one cab that still hasn't been properly shown at any of the past California Extreme shows either).

There's one in Akihabara. I should go and play it.

You want the Sega game ported GP?

We had that in Trocadero's Funland arcade for about 8 years, played it many times but it's not that great. The lightsaber fights are clunky and don't work very well and the speeder bike race is similar. Looked pretty and has novelty value, but that's about it.

I thought you meant the Atari game. The Rogue Squadron unlockable does not suffice.

[GaijinPunch]

I have a soft spot for AT-ATs. That's really all I want. There's some decent fighting in Rogue Squadron, but I remember that being a particularly painful game in the difficulty department.

[Skykid]

Who doesn't!

Shadows of the Empire still has nice physics when you're roping them in.

[beatsgo]

Tetris Grand Master

+1, including TGM3

[Ghegs]

Sega Rally

It's my understanding that the PS2 port is arcade-perfect, or at least damn near to it.

[powersoul]

Dolphin Blue by Atomiswave (or Sammy). Same group of fellows who made Metal Slug.

[Jonathan Ingram]

Dolphin Blue by Atomiswave (or Sammy).

It`s for Atomiswave by Sammy. :)

I would have said Star Wars Trilogy Arcade, but I've been playing it for the past five months via the sega model 3 emu. Some groover compiled it for mac and it runs pretty damn well on an new Mac mini. I bought an old flight stick off ebay for £5 and I'm living the dream.

Btw, an analogue flight stick works well on the old Atari Star Wars games and is also a good substitute for a light gun in mame.
