Impressions of the obscure recent Sega arcade games

[Trippled]

Sega still makes Arcade games. But Arcades are dead. So we rarely ever hear detailed impressions of it of someone playing it, how is it played? How good is it? etc. ...I gathered some...

Just makes me all the more sad, of no ports....

Couldn't agree more. Their arcade games have always been top notch.

I was luck enough to play Shining Force Cross when I visited Japan (still keep the card in my wallet to this day). It was definitely fantastic and worthy of a console/pc release. I skipped out on Border Break because it looked a bit text heavy for a non-japanese reader.

We got a Golden Gun arcade here in Vancouver and it's quirky fun.

In my dreams, I play 2-Spicy. It would work so well as a move/wii/kinect title.

Maybe when these titles are no longer profitable in the arcades, we'll see them released as console ports. Isn't that why they don't release ports right away? To extend the profitability of the title in arcades?

Hmmm...tough through the decline of Arcades, quality has decreased too I think, or so I have heard from frequent visitors. Rail-shooters have definitly fell in quality, Virtua Cop3 is still the last really good one I think.
