OLLIE KING NEVER EVER

>>5787308
if it makes you feel better, planet harriers isn't very good

>>5787353
This list kills me. And it’s not even complete.

>>5787353
it is almost like japanese companies don't adapt to change very well. i wonder how many of the old guard kept fighting and believing that the arcade would return to dominance and this would work, and not drive the company straight into the earth.

>>5787353
But there are a Sega Saturn version of GT 24. Yeah, it's shit but there is one. But I can feel you, I'd say there is no home port of Outrunners as the Genesis version is garbage.

>>5787445
People losing interest in arcade game design in favour of (((cinematic experiences))) that you'd find on sony's consoles is what did them in, not because of the lack of home ports.

I completely forgot about NY Gunblade and LA Machineguns until this thread. Fuck, those were fun games.

>>5787445
It's probably more the age-old "we only need to cater to our domestic audience" foible, since Japan's dropoff from the arcade scene is much more recent than those games.

>>5787308
I just want a home port of The Revenge of Death Adder. Its criminal that its still not on a console after being one of the most popular Sega series.

>>5787353
>generic racers and generic belt scrollers
Who needs those when you have cinematic experiences like Shenmue? Gaming moved on...

Still no arcade perfect port of the very first Virtua Fighter and no way to play it properly, as the Model 1 board to this day isn't properly emulated.

>>5787460
>I completely forgot about NY Gunblade and LA Machineguns until this thread.
Same. I wish playing lightgun games on PC didn't have to be such an expensive pain in the ass.

Has anybody even seen many of the machines in >>5787353 in real life?

I've only played 2Spicy once in 2-player and the machine was quickly converted to a 1-player machine by means of the store selling off the second machine.

I've also played Planet Harriers, LA Machineguns, Top Skater, and Jambo! Safari.

As for the image, wasn't Star Wars Trilogy released on 32X, and wasn't Virtua Golf released as some family golf thing as a JP PS3 launch title?

>>5787468
Why can't you play them in VR with the controllers? I figured that would be something people would have rigged up pretty quick.

>>5787482
>wasn't Star Wars Trilogy released on 32X
kek nah anon, Trilogy is the model 3 game.

>>5787497
I don't know, probably would buy one of those things if someone did and set-up wasn't a chore.

>>5787512

I was wrong it does exist.

>>5787467
I know the 32X is missing on graphics and sound, but what's wrong with the second Saturn version?

>>5787353
Virtua Cop 3 has an Xbox port but it requires additional RAM for some reason

>>5788157
I'm sure you already realize this, but it's an unofficial port. And the reason it requires the extra ram is because the game runs on the Sega Chihiro board, which is essentially just an Xbox with some addition ram to lower/eliminate load times for the arcade environment. Obviously this would've been alleviated in the home port they had planned by simply allowing some brief load times, but apparently someone at Sega just said "fuck it" because they didn't want to bother making a lightgun for the Xbox... And then they released HotD3 later anyways.

The Japanese had to be dragged kicking and screaming to consider the notion of multiplatform games, why keep the source code when you make your games for the numbah juan consoles, do they not own a PlayStation? Why port arcade games to consoles, are people cripple and can't go to the arcade?

>>5787353
I've got a good feeling that these guys will knock some off that list in the next few years.

>>5788226

I doubt that a japanese executives, of all people, had to ever be dragged kicking and screaming towards something that makes the company a fuckton more money.

>>5788248
lol.

>>5788248
Multiplatform Japanese games are relatively new thing (since at least the 2000s), and even then only a small handful of Japanese games were actually multiplat as most of them were single platform exclusives without any financial incentive from the platform holders.

>>5788248
It only makes more money if people buy it.

>>5788284
Any port to any platform will make money, the question is, is it worth spending money for a port to make "a little more money" when releasing the game on one platform makes so much already?

>>5787482
Yes, I've seen and played most of the games on there at one point or another. The only ones I haven't seen are things like House of the Dead EX which never got an official US release (I do know of an arcade that has it, though), a couple that I just don't recognize, and some that I'm not 100% sure any arcades in the US still have (I've been across like 8 states looking for Planet Harriers).

>>5787626
>but what's wrong with the second Saturn version?
It's not the same game, but a remake.

>>5787308
>now just what the diddly darn h*ck did sega mean by this?
language, anon

>>5787482
I've been playing Hummer a lot lately at a place near me.

All of these are playable on pc with emulation.

>>5788859
>"""playable"""

>>5788859
A LOT of those had specialized control schemes that can't be easily emulated. Playing something like Top Skater with a keyboard is like playing a light gun game with a mouse or DDR with a controller. You're technically playing them, but you're missing out on part of the game.

>>5790125
The visual and audio emulation is also still pretty shit for a lot of them, while others have no emulation available at all.

>>5787353
Where's pic related?
>>5787482
The Star Wars, Lost World, and Harley games were relatively common in the US. The rarest one I've seen, and played, in public was Motor Raid.

>>5790143
Fuck me, forgot image.

>>5790125
In other words, those games never would have and never will have home ports.

Everything in OP is perfectly playable, though.

>>5787353
You can remove Motor Raid from that list, you can play it in arcades in Judgment.

>>5787308
Demul runs it pretty well.

I'll just leave this here

>>5791409
Fucking NEAT. You learn something new every day. Just hope my toaster can actually run it.

I just want a Daytona USA 2 port bros

>>5788246
I wouldn't be so sure about that, a lot of these games are most likely out of scope for them, assuming that the source code still exists anyway.

>>5793891
It probably won't, depending on how toaster it is. Check the various arcade platforms' actual hardware for an idea of what games expect to have.

>>5793891
>Fucking NEAT. You learn something new every day. Just hope my toaster can actually run it.
Funnily enough, most of these are not very demanding as they ran on pretty modest PC hardware (Core2Duos etc) and ran at mostly 720p resolution. They were all PC based so Teknoparrot is more of a series of software cracks to get around protection than actual emulation, as such everything it supports runs great.

>>5791409
Oh shit, I can finally play After Burner Climax (and not that lame Android version). And I didn't even know that Sega Rally 3 and Virtua Tennis 4 existed.

>>5787353
Wow... I'm checking Galloping Ghost's list and even they are missing a lot of these.

How the fuck can you even play most of these outside of shitty emulation

>>5793908
I'm thinking mostly the pre-Model 2 stuff. They have the first perfect port of G-LOC planned for the Switch Ages line, so I'm hoping something like Racing Hero might come later, love that game.

>>5787353
Jambo Safari should be on there, too. Jambo Safari: Animal Rescue had about as much to do with the arcade version as Craxy Taxi Fare Wars.

>>5793990
That's because Galloping Ghost is NOT the place you want to go for full-sized machines, which most of those are. They just don't have the floor space for those. A handful of them are in Chicago Gameworks (2Spicy, Brave Firefighters, Harley Davidson, R-Turned, Rambo, Star Wars Trilogy, Let's Go Jungle, Jurassiac Park, Hummer, and a few others). A few of them are pretty common-ish elsewhere, like Ocean Hunter, Scud Race, and Top Skater. I THINK there are other arcades in the Chicago area that might still have Ollie King and Emergency Call Ambulance, but I can't remember the name of either.

Now if you want something like Water Ski or Soul Surfer, good fucking luck. There's a place called Play Arcade near Cleveland that might still have them. There's an arcade in NYC that has Rail Chase 2. There's a Crackin' DJ near Baltimore. I think there's a Club Kart in Denver somewhere. I'm pretty sure the only arcade that has HotD EX: Loving Dead is in Michigan near Detroit. For the older games like Revenge of Death Adder and DD Crew, they pop up at bigger barcades from time to time.

In other words, they're around in some regard if you really want to look for them. Except Planet Harriers. The only arcade I know of that had it shut down earlier this year so it may be gone for good.
