jboypacman Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Ok i know that there hasnt been any announcements about arcade games for the Nintendo Wii but it would be cool if they did start porting arcade games for download on the Virtual Console. So my question is if they did start having arcade games for the Wii what games would you like to see on it?Here is my picks....... Donkey Kong Gorf Crazy Climber Wizard of Wor Tron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilnick Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Donkey Kong would be awesome. Not the lame ass NES crap already released with a missing level. I second Crazy Climber as well, but if I recall (from 25 or so years ago) it had 2 control sticks, not sure how well it would translate to the Wii control scheme. Wizard of Wor with online co-op would be nice. There was a sequel to Galaga, Galaga 88 (maybe it was Gaplus?) or something like that. I only played it once, would be nice to try it again.

jboypacman Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 I was thinking with Crazy Climber you could use the Wii classic controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Gaplus. Galaga 88 was the sequal after Gaplus. Galaga '88 will be released in will be released on the tg-16 virtual game console in North Americia as Galaga'90.

Atariboy Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Gaplus will be on the Namco Museum Wii edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8littlefield Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I would say my biggies would be Popeye, Yi Ar Kung Fu, Tempest and Ms Pac Mac. While we're pipe dreaming Captain Commando would be great too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I'd like the original Star Wars arcade game, using the Wiimote as a yoke (kinda like in Excite Truck). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I'd like the original Star Wars arcade game, using the Wiimote as a yoke (kinda like in Excite Truck). I think that would work pretty well. Too bad it will probably never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I'd like the original Star Wars arcade game, using the Wiimote as a yoke (kinda like in Excite Truck). Are you talking about Star Wars Trilogy Arcade? Yes, that'd be too cool. Shoot, any Wii game where the Wii remote acts as a lightsabre would be kick @$$. Steel Talons might be good. Home versions just haven't been able to do that game justice. Missile Command. Centipede. Millipede... Trakball games would be cool. Mmm... Gauntlet Legends... Hack away with the Wii remote... Area 51 or any shooter would be cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 No, the old 1983 Atari vector machine. Mind, SW Trilogy Arcade would rock too, though I doubt they'd have something of that size on the VC ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieAtari Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 A decent port (or even remake) of Elevator Action using the new Zapper for shooting and the Wiimote sensing when you crouch or jump. Oh, and yes, "real" Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jnr would be great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) I would love to see Tempest, maybe even a Tempest 2000 ish option, also 1942 and pac man plus for when an Arcade stick is available and Bubble Bobble of corse Edited July 28, 2007 by mimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 No, the old 1983 Atari vector machine. Mind, SW Trilogy Arcade would rock too, though I doubt they'd have something of that size on the VC ever. Well then, why should it necessarily be released on the VC? Nintendo created the Wii mainly to reach the non-hardcore gamer, but also the casual gamer that doesn't have hours of time to devote to gaming. More recent arcade games like Star Wars Trilogy or House of the Dead represent a still-untapped area of Wii gaming, the kind that is played in short spurts like the older classic arcade games, but with graphics and audio that are up-to-par with the video games of today. It's the kind of game you can slip into your Wii at parties and let everyone take turns playing. I for one would LOVE to play a faithful reproduction of Star Wars Trilogy on the Wii, only without unlimited continues, to make it challenging as a home game. Just walk into any modern arcade (or cinema theatre) and you can see plenty of modern arcade games that could be released on the Wii as budget titles, and advertised as faithful reproductions of the arcade games, which are meant to be played in short spurts rather than long-winded hardcore-oriented gaming sessions.

Math You Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Hyper Sports, Track & Field, Commando, Ghosts N Goblins, Outrun, Marble Madness, Daytona USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 All these titles sound good... Star Wars Arcade is available on the Cube (SW Rebel Strike) so that's sort of already there. Tempest would be lovely... perhaps Tempest 4000 or something crazy... maybe Nintendo will come out with a spinner controller (although I guess twisting the remote would do it but kill your wrist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Oh and throw on that PacMan XBLA game... the updated one that just came out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtticGamer Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Aliens Extermination, would be a great port to use the Wii Zapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Too many to think of, although a lot of light gun games get my nod. A Time Crisis package would be great. Also, maybe some racing games like Hang-On, Daytona USA, Indy 500, Sega Super GT, and Cool Riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I would say my biggies would be Popeye, Yi Ar Kung Fu, Tempest and Ms Pac Mac. While we're pipe dreaming Captain Commando would be great too! I wonder how Tempest would be if you moved your shooter by tilting the controller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Brasky Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Gunblade NY, LA Machineguns, all the Sega Naomi/Atomiswave arcade games that didn't get ported to DC, Prop Cycle, Tokyo Wars, Polybius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Salamon Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 The REAL Donkey Kong would be nice. And it's not too much to ask is it? Seeing as PacMan did a remake for XBLA... perhaps Nintendo can do a Donkey Kong remake for Wii Ware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManShowBoy Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I'd like to see any obscure light gun arcade games on thew Wii. The Wii is the best choice for light gun arcade games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
