Do you know if they will ever ekease newer arcade game like the mario kart arcade games?

Very doubtful on that one if for no other reason than Nintendo would have to pay Namco and there's no way in hell that Nintendo is ever going to part with one red cent.

I'd really like it to be Donkey Kong. I've only played the pie factory level once or twice.

I'm holding out hope for Double Dragon arcade. Technos/Aksys have been supporting the VC, so I think it can still happen.

I'd love to see Zaxxon. That, along with Kung Fu Master, Crazy Climber, Jungle King(Hunt), Mr. Do!, and Crystal Castles, are some of my favorite early 80's arcade titles.

Push the button, Frank.

I would LOVE to get a true arcade version of Gauntlet complete with up to 4 players. I know, I'm dreaming.

Well, judging by how lazy NOA is, the next VC Arcade game they'll probably put up there will likely be something that's already available on the Japanese VCA. Just like how they only recently got around to getting us Rondo of Blood, even though it's been there for over a year in Japan.

For a full list of Japanese VCA - it's A LOT, mostly from Namco - check out wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Console_games_%2...

And they have MUCH more impressive arcade games too. Instead of the really early 80's games that we currently "enjoy" in the west, they have full 3D games from the 90s. Stuff like "StarBlade" and "CyberSled". Personally, I'm hoping that those two make it over here.

If we're REALLY lucky, SEGA will get stuff like Virtua Fighter on there, but I consider THAT one a dream. sigh. SEGA will take years to get to their 90's arcade games at this rate. I'm sure they have a few more versions of Golden Axe and Altered Beast to get through first.

Anyway, I'd bet that the next VCA game will be something from Namco. Probably. I'm hoping for something like Marvel Land, since there aren't many good platformers on the Virtual Console that aren't Mario Bros. or Sonic games.

If they release most of the Namco arcade games in Japan.Like The Return of Ishtar (Please, Please), The Legend of Valkyrie, Rolling Thunder, Hopping Mappy,and Sky Kid (I hope they don't bother releasing another incarnation of Genpei Defeats Demon Story) I'll be a happy camper and i'll sell most of my namco museum disks.

I'm not sure it was in the arcade or not, but Smash TV on the VC HAS to happen! And the Simpson's game would be nice too

Smash TV was an actual arcade game followed up by its spiritual sequel Total Carnage.

I feel for you though I'm hoping Sega continues with the 80s stuff: Pulsar, Tac Scan and Space Fury are all games I'd love to see on the VCA; Star Trek Strategic Operations Simulator is another fantasy world release, but who knows, maybe they'd be willing to sort the rights?

As of now I changed the name of this thread to "The Virtual Console Arcade Thread".

Everyone is now free to discuss the VCA in general.

That's a great idea! They're aren't too many threads about the VCA!

Hoping for Raiden.

Raiden II would be my fantasy - not even emulated in MAME yet, so I haven't played it since I had the Raiden/Raiden II collection on the Playstation.

I still have that Raiden collection for PS, I also have Raiden 3 (PAL) for PS2, Which I believe is ultra rare.
My wish list would be Suprise Attack (a arcade shinobi clone) and Midnight Resistance (one of the few spectrum games I finished)

Something I think would be great for the Virtual Console Arcade are Namco's Arrangement games.

Galaga Arrangement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob3c_9pCtks&feature=related
Xevious Arrangement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdZnn9yK2s8
Pac-Man and Dig Dug Arrangement in an actual arcade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miU8S0Mz8Qo&feature=related
Rally-X Arrangement in an actual arcade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HELA-e02AI&feature=related

6 of Namco's classic games got "Arranged" in the Namco Classic Collection series in the mid-nineties. Galaga, Xevious, Mappy, Pac-Man, Rally-X, and Dig Dug were the games that got "Arrangements". Three of the Arrangements are already playable on a North American Wii thanks to Namco Museum for the Gamecube. But I would really like to see them on VCA so I can play the other 3 that aren't on the GC disc, as well as being able to play them all with a Wiimote, gifting it to friends, and etc.

Still waiting for Konami to support the VCA. More Namco support would be nice too...
