SEGA's next Downloadable Arcade ports

[loempiavreter]

The best thing to happen for a long while SEGA-related, where the SEGA arcade ports showing up in the past year as downloadable titles. Afterburner Climax, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, The House of the Dead 4, these ports have restored my faith in SEGA a little bit. I'm sorry to say that I have little interest in Jet Set Radio HD (seriously f**k that title for ruining Anarchy Reigns/Max Anarchy worldwide launch) and Nights into Dreams HD. And rather see downloadble game ports of the following:


- Virtua Cop 3

SEGA's masterpiece, maybe my all time favourite Lightgun title, if not all time favorite SEGA game played it many times in our private arcade. And big time shame that SEGA never bothered to port it to consoles for more people to enjoy. This is my number 1 wish for SEGA to port, on PSN with MOVE support.

A title I have never had the opportunity to try out myself, it looks really cool, a showdown/versus lightgun title. I've seen video's of kicking down tables to hide under, sliding down the bar while shooting at your opponent, definately some cool interactive moments. And I would really like to try it out on PSN with MOVE support and online system linking.

One of the newer games on here, haven't had the opportunity to try this one myself as well, but it's the sequel to one of the top Lightgun games ever, Ghost Squad. Also desirable in a PSN port with MOVE support.

- Loving Deads: The House of the Dead EX

SEGA better get everything HOTD related ported to home consoles. The option to fight The World's final form this time (never got that option in HOTD4 or HTOD4SP) is great, as usual a PSN port with MOVE support pretty please!

- SEGA Golden Gun

SEGA's answer to Konami's Haunted Museum series. Definately not on the same level as Virtua Cop 3, the Ghost games or HOTD series, but still deserves to be played home. As always on PSN with MOVE support.

- Spikeout: Final Edition

Nagoshi, now that he is a brown man who because of his friendship with the Yakuza is stuck to making the boring ass Yakuza/Ryu ga Gotoku/River City Ransom in 3D games (F-Zero AX/GX and Binary Domain where awesome), once made a beat'em up series that was good and not some wannabee River City Ransom. With much more option to make juggle combo's solo and with a buddy or 2 to create awesome coop combo's as opposed to cies. There was Spikeout: Battle Street, which was an ok semi port with some new characters, textures, story and wonky controls, it's not Final Edition which is indefinately better because it controls better. Nagoshi bring this classic back to XBLA and PSN!

- Dynamtie Deka EX: Asian Dynamite

I love Dynamite Deka II/Dynamite Cop from humming the cheesy orchestral soundtrack with my buddies while playing it to the imitating all the lines with the cheesy voice acting. It's not as goo Dynamite Deka/Die Hard the Arcade, but still quite fun. And why withhold our rights to play this Hong Kong Remix of Dynamite Deka II/Dynamite Cop, give it to us on PSN and XBLA!

- Planet Harriers

Space Harrier spiritual sequel, look at the chaos on screen, looks just as good as the Sin & Punishment games, those did well for Nintendo yes? It's also totally awesome and the lack of a port is quite a shame. Bring it over to XBLA/PSN SEGA!

- Toy Fighter

Developed by Anchor a studio made up of ex-SEGA (Virtua Fighter team) and ex-Namco (Tekken team) employees, came up with the Fighting Viper-ish game for Naomi that SEGA published. Can be played on DEMUL, but I rather play it on XBLA/PSN!

- Wild Riders

Looks a bit to be in vein of Muscle March, in gameplay. But the whole art direction looks cool, if people bother to release Muscle March on home consoles why not bring this to XBLA/PSN!

Planet Harriers is at the top of my list for sure.

I'd also like more HOTD games for PS3. I don't own PS3, but once I get one I'd love to have all the HOTD games ready for play. That, or I'd like to see a Kinect light gun (which is 100% technically possible) and the HOTD games on XBLA.

[max_cady]

I'd definately get that House of the Dead: EX title. Would be perfect for a XBLA/PSN release.

[Pao]

Border Break!
I think its about time it got a console release.

[SOUP]

Planet Harriers would be great.
Maybe that Rambo title from a few years ago, and Ollie King thrown in for good measure.

[Kori-Maru]

Planet Harriers, Virtua Cop 3, and Loving Dead: The House of the Dead EX. I would like to see a HD version of the first HOTD with the same treatment as Daytona USA.

[loempiavreter]

I would like to see a HD version of the first HOTD with the same treatment as Daytona USA.

Yes, that would be nice too... But SEGA lost the source (yeah they actually lost it) for the first HOTD so it's impossible.

[Kori-Maru]

Will it be possible to emulate it and actually put some effort to it? Meaning, not making it look awful as the Virtua Fighter 2 Sega Ages 2500 port.

[ptpattycakes]

Virtua Cop 3 would be amazing!! I have been wanting to play that game for years!!

[Aki-at]

I would love to play Rambo at home... But then it's the fact I'm shooting an SMG in the arcade that just gives it THAT Rambo feeling.

Would love to play SEGA Race TV, just because it was Yu Suzuki's last game for SEGA. Oh and R-Tuned is a damn fine game too, even if it looks a little cheap.

Plenty to name still though, least of all Border Break and titles like Shining Force Cross (Even though not much of a fan, would thing it would be a good hit on consoles)

[jonboy101]

A Panzer Dragoon HD would be nice.
