"Great idea for NINTENDO"

This is a brilliant idea.Have any of you ever been to an arcade and looked around and said to your self 'Why the hell aren't some of these classics ever released to a console.I think Nintendo should seriously consider buying the publishing rights to most of these undiscovered gems as many serious gamers will agree that many will buy gamecube if it had say STAR WARS TRILOGY ARCADE as a gamecube exclusive

Also it would make it easier for companies to do talks with nintendo as they would be stablemates.Just imagine it nintendo and sega side by side developing new exclusives for gamecube.

Let's not forget it would certainly help the struggling arcades with nintendo helping releasing groundbreaking new technology on the arcade machines which all look very dated compared to the Gamecube

Here's a list of the game's which would do really well on the home market.....

DAYTONA USA 2 battle on the edge
STAR WARS TRILOGY ARCADE
SCUD RACE
RAVE RACER
SILENT SCOPE EX
TOP SKATER
ALPINE SURFER
RAPID RACER
THRILL DRIVE
RADICAL BIKERS
ROUTE 66 (18 wheeler 2)
EZ to DANCER

If Nintendo signed games of these quality as gamecube exclusives then the Gamecube will surely win the console war.

If anyone else has an arcade game which has never made it to a home console please reply

thanks for taking the time to read this forum.

Yeah. Apart from the fact that this time yesterday i WAS a newbie.
I don't hate newbies, just you

its ok simzer just hates newbies

Problem is, most of these games are pre-Dreamcast.

Besides, some of them are STRICTLY arcade.

Yes, Starwars Trilogy was great with the atmosphere, but the gameplay wasn't exactly groundbreaking, and would really suck on a home console.
Other games, like Rapids Racing was only good down to the special Arcade Suited controller (paddles in this case).

Still, keep coming up with ideas.
You're bound to come up with a decent one someday...

I agree the reason i go to arcades is because i get to play games that i couldn't ussually play. And it just looks better when your sitting in a big seat using a joystick to destroy the death star instead of at home although Star wars rogue leader :- Rogue Squadron II

That's not a very good idea if you ask me.
If the games where on home consoles then arcades would lose money and the games would be short and crap .
