Topic: What arcade ports do you want on the VC?

I am redoing this post because it was misunderstood. I am referring to arcade PORTS, not arcade GAMES.

The following are ports we already have:
Space Invaders (SNES)
Cruisin' USA (N64)
Dig Dug (NES)
Pac Man (NES)
Donkey Kong trilogy (NES)
Mario Bros. (NES)
Xevious (NES)
Galaga (NES)
Golden Axe (Genesis)
Altered Beast (Genesis)
Street Fighter II (SNES)

Ms. Pac Man would be cool, I guess.

Still Contra, the NES version to be exact.

I hope we get the Mortal Kombat games (either 16-bit versions or the arcade ones) but it seems more unlikely every year.

Well, I just ordered the NES cartridge of Super Off Road online, so I don't care if they re-release it anymore.

Got it for $4.50, BTW.

The only port I can think of that I'd prefer over the arcade is Chelnov for the Mega Drive. The graphics are way better and you can actually tell what some of the enemies are supposed to be unlike the often-textureless sprites from the arcade. I have this on the Japanese Wii, but Atomic Runner (as it's also known) has yet to be released elsewhere.

Otherwise I'd rather the arcade, though if the only way I can play Snow Bros. is to get the Mega Drive port (which looks pretty damn good), then I'll happily do so. Ditto for Rainbow Islands (still cannot figure out why we don't have the PC Engine port of this - is the VC dead?).

I'd rather have the European NES port of Rainbow Islands than the American port.

Check the differences if you don't know them already.

Good god, the Famicom/NES really is crap, isn't it?

Wow... just wow. The first part US version's music doesn't even sound like the arcade version.

Definitely if there was a choice the PC Engine version hands-down. From video I've seen it's most faithful to the arcade; only problem is I don't know if it ever got released outside of Japan for the TG-16.

San Francisco Rush 2049 (N64)

Truth be told, if this came out on VCA and N64, I'd probably buy both versions.

Wow, I never knew about the different versions of Rainbow Islands on the NES, the European version really has that Ocean/Amiga feel to it and the music. Then again seeing the American and Japanese versions, I'd pick the Ocean version, even with it's Ocean twang to it.

Anyway, VC Arcade games, GIVE ME MY SPACE INVADERS NOW! lol

It would be awsome if they released both the arcade (or Genesis) and the NES version of Strider.

The NES version of Strider is vary underrated IMO. Perhaps it was Copcom's fault for marketing it like a direct port of the arcade game, while in reality it was a completly different game. The game was more story drivin and was much closer to the manga that the Strider games are based off of.

@SepticLemon: If you want Space Invaders, get the SNES version.

SNES version is too expensive and only allows you to use the Classic controller

Nothing.

If I want arcade games on VC, I want them as VC Arcade releases, not the crummy ports. StarFox, why in the world do you want more ports released when the arcade versions could be released instead?

The VCA is dead, so we can only hope for the ports.

We got one just 2 months ago. Give it time.

I'm still patiently waiting for Strider for the Megadrive on VC. It's been rated for ages.

With regards arcade games vs ports. Sometimes I prefer the ports because they don't generally have unlimited continues and are therefore more of a challenge.

Mortal Kombat, Contra or Ms. Pac-Man!
