@HamatoYoshi Yeah I see your point - I just don't know why having spent all the money on the arcade that the comparatively low cost of porting to consoles isn't undertaken more. Especially as when - like you say - arcades are few and far between this days. Taking this as an example, plenty of people play driving games at home without the sit down cabinet

I've found it weird in the last few years why arcades games aren't being ported as often as years gone by.... this as an example, Daytona 3 too... As I understand it, a lot of arcade boards these days are just PCs rather than dedicated hardware - surely porting shouldn't be too difficult/expensive? With digital releases possible (as opposed to having to manufacture on physical media that costs ยฃยฃ), the initial outlay must be quite small for games that have already been developed but sadly won't get much play or indeed revenue in ever shrinking arcade venues.
