So many great games and fantastic memories. SEGA needs to exploit their arcade IPs!

I would love to see more classic arcade titles bring grouped together and released on the Wii and more titles hit XBLA & PSN.

Matter of fact, while you’re in the mood for porting Model 2 and Model 3 games to the Wii both at once, I’d better request Daytona USA 1 and 2. Call them Sega Racing Classic if you must (it still won’t be the same without the theme song), but the Wii’s in dire need of good racers and I was always a lil’ crushed that Daytona 2 never saw a console release.

This is great but The Lost World Arcade game seriously needs to be released for Wii, XBox 360, and/or PS3. I have been waiting for a way to play that game at home for over 12 years.

I’ll join the fray, but I got a short rant after that.

Sega, if you can retrieve the rights from Universal, you should definitely do it and get a Lost World compilation onto consoles, Wii especially. Keeping the game intact would be best, but just for the sake of living up to Jurassic Park — the film that sold CG to a lot of skeptics — a spiffy, hi-res “EX mode” wouldn’t hurt.

From my recollection of a previous playthrough of the game, the level design was nice and tense, the rescue missions broke up the action nicely, and a few cool set pieces predated those in Let’s Go Jungle — such as the bosses with segmented weak points and counting on your partner to bail you out of a dino’s jaws. Besides which, you get to shoot bloodthirsty DINOSAURS. The only game that comes close to replicating that awesome sensation on a console is Dino Stalker, and that’s all…well…ecch.

So, despite the bad name The Lost World Arcade’s source material gave Hollywood dinosaurs, my vote is in. You could even call it Jurassic Park Arcade Hits Pack, or whatever, to “un-date” it. Still, I can’t stress the relevance of the Gunblade franchise to the rail-shooter genre, and I wish people would hop on that bandwagon before ignoring it and requesting more goodies.

The frenzied pace of Gunblade NY and LA Machineguns would be enough to recommend this pack, but on top of that, there’s the seamless cinematography. It always drove me nuts that the characters/cameramen in HOTD2 and Vampire Night (which I love regardless) would stop dead at a wall, then turn and react to the peril behind them as slowly and awkwardly as possible. You could practically see the x- and z-coordinates painted where they were supposed to walk…and hear the mouse-powered workout wheels in their heads squeaking as they realized there was a boss battle happening. Conversely, with Gunblade’s cameramen riding speedy hoverbikes and not waiting for every single enemy to melt in a red puddle, you’re sucked into the action, chunky graphics be damned.

Sega hadn’t even dropped a hint that another light-gun compilation was on the way, let alone one this cool. Now that the ESRB has leaked — er, Sega has announced — the Gunblade pack, the lack of war whoops among fans has me worried for future compilations. C’mon, guys, give these games a shot!
