XBLA's Arcade Ports are UNSTOPPABLE! | PART 2

[@HellCorridor666]

I'd like to point out (as I can't PM you anymore) that the "enhanced" graphics in Discs of Tron were actually present as decals in the original arcade game.

[@devonwilliams5738]

I just played Radiant Silvergun earlier this year, was absolutely beautiful, probably my favorite SHMUP I've played, maybe ever.

[@Kousaburo]

I only wish there were more of them. Games like Ninja Baseball Bat Man or Red Earth still look incredible and I would've bought them in a heartbeat. A lot of companies with the rights to classic arcade games really missed a trick by not re-releasing them on XBLA and PSN.

[@Acidonia150reborn]

Well you can buy red earth officaly now at least.

[@Danhanado]

There's also some great arcade like ports to xbla that weren't technically arcade ports, the xbla remaster of Guardian Heroes is one such game that you should definitely take a look at

[@ChaseMC215]

Game Room also had a PC port, and a pretty clever feature where you can buy a game for both the 360 and PC ports of Game Room. LGR did a great review of the game a long time ago if anyone wants to see that review

[@sergiuszstrzelecki9781]

is there any link to download the PC version?

[@RodniDemental]

You could sync your scores across mobile on wp7 version too. I believe some 'medals' were a lot easier if you played on console (with controller), then sync your medals to windows phone version, it would just pop the achievements as if you'd done it on your phone. Also the 'game room' versions of these games for wp7 were standalone with their own achievements outside the 'game room' hub that you'd find on pc/console.

[@ChaseMC215]

I remember the Game Room. The only game I got for it back-in-the-day was "Red Baron" which I think is still pretty neat. My reaction to it back in the day was "Nope. Getting all of these is too expensive." and I came to dislike how it looked with only 1 arcade cabinet.

[@justpinklasagna]

I wanted to join you in experiencing the red and blue 3D effect at 9:55 since I own one of the Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3D glasses, but your video proved that I no longer do. Rest in peace, Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3D glasses I once owned. I looked for them in my bedroom where I kept the glasses couldn't find them at all then remembered they got damaged and had to be thrown away previously. so again rest in peace Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3D glasses I once owned.

[@Wubsy96]

I hope you also take a look at these (delisted) games as well: - Yaris - Mercury Hg - Doritos Dash of Destruction

[@joeyparkhill8751]

In my opinion the fact that the arcade games in Game Room cost $3 seemed a tad excessive to me, especially for such a limited experience.

[@BigBadJohnDiesel]

Would love to see you do a video on Hamsters Arcade Archives line up. I'm curious to know why their Neo Geo lineup is their only offering on Xbox! I'm hoping they release more, like Sunset Riders on Xbox!!

[@RodniDemental]

It's weird, I probably would have bought a lot more of those if they had come out on xbox. I will say I prefer the way xbla games handled achievements though, the arcade archives often felt like they diddn't have as much effort put into them in terms of 'modern' presentation. The emulation on the other hand might be better for all I know.

[@VanArtic]

About Guwange's window size, you're not stuck on that screen size alone. at the Extra Display > Game Window option, where you can see a rendition of the Xbox controller, press A to bring out more more settings for manual tweaking. Also small little fact: at one point M2 was supposed to port Dangun Feveron to XBLA but was delayed so many times they just ended up porting it to PS4 instead.

[@FrameRater]

I'll try that out later. I've just processed the removal of Guwange's segment from the video, it seems I didn't do that game justice.

[@Pin3C0ne]

[@Fatman311]

I didn't know you could get Soul Calibur on the 360 arcade store. There was an arcade machine of it when I was at college that me and my friends put an unhealthy amount of money into during our time there, its an amazing game.

[@CaptainWrong]

Game Room was so good! I was sorry it didn’t take off the way I hoped it would. I would be so in if they brought it back.

[@RodniDemental]

I loved all the arcade games releasing on xbla and all that and must admit; game room made perfect sense for someone like me, and yet I remember it being a bit of a disappointment at the time. Bare bones versions of the games, no significant 'enhancements'. Or maybe it was the pay to play model, - just didn't sit right despite the origin of these types of games.

I had the Intellivision Baseball game on Game Room, as it was the only one I could afford on my old XBOX Live Account until I turned 18 & got a job. I thought it was pretty cool, especially considering it's from the early '80s.

Worth noting that the arcade versions of Super Street Fighter 2, unlike the original CPS1 versions, don't actually have any physical dip switches. In CPS2 games (as well as CPS1.5 and CPS3 games), you change the settings through the service menu.

[@blackravenX]

[@brianstuntman4368]

Triggerheart Excelica might seem fairly average if you overlook the anchor-shot mechanic. Being able to lasso an enemy and throw it back as a weapon is great fun and makes for a powerful attack. At first I though it was a gimmick, but it really makes the game worth playing. Make sure to change the setting for anchor-shot from auto to manual to gain full control of this weapon.

[@Mike-t5r9q]

Nowadays I can get all these arcade games on my phone but at the time Xbox live arcade was amazing. I wish Microsoft continued Xbox live arcade with the series X

[@Acidonia150reborn]

Lots of Gameroom Titles had missing sound effects like Atari 2600 Presure Cooker was missing its background music and konami game Scooter Shooter had no music at all. Some like Asteroids and Time Pilot had Sound emulation issues yet the older XBLA stand alone versions of same titles had no problems. The Konami Titles to this day for alot is the only console version of them. When the servers where up the game got buggy and would freeze the console is to many arcade cabs was placed along with the avatars walking around it got stuck in T Poses alot they never fixed either.They had a unlock key for the game called tower of rom which never worked and gave no one refunds to and it was only ever linked it existed in a game room forum post and the link was pulled days later from xbox servers to buy it But Krome Studios was cursed on the 360 3 of their titles for that console including game room was fully released but missng features., The other two was hellboy which as Achiements tied to levels not in the game or was ever finished so you can't 1000g it and Blade Kitten a Xbla game that the second part was delayed for years and only finaly showed up years later on the PC port.

Ah yeah. It's hard to find information about Game Room anymore... well, without playing every game myself haha. This is good to know, thanks!

[@Acidonia150reborn]

@@FrameRater The online Kept everyones high scores and kept a online replay of the best recorded score this was only if you played the game in default settings it turned off rewind in this mode too. GR might of been the first multi system collection to have a rewind mode on consoles. They was 1000 games planed for it acording to early trailers and would of got content weekly for over 3 years. It only lasted like 6 months. Early trailers show a dragons lair logo. The way DLC worked was every 3 to 4 weeks they brought out a new DLC pack of games each week they unlocked a few to be able to be played and puchased they just put it all out one day for Final pack.Buying a game week it launched gave you a animtation of a sprite in the game that just flew around the arcade. Every game had a bunch of medals for getting so many points these increased your over all level the more you had and more games you played which unlocked more wall paper themes and items to decorate the arcade with like how the current pac man collection works. Microsoft never promoted it even with their blog guy major nelson until the final update pack instead updates was just posted on the gameroom facebook page only.The launch was rushed to fit in a XBLA monthly event so it took a while for later DLC packs to be added too,

I can tell you from personal experience that Shaolin's Road does not run as well as its arcade counterpart. I've looped the original arcade game, known as Kicker, and it's not running at full speed on Game Room. Still, it was an interesting idea, and I wish I would have bought more games (Mega Zone specifically) while they were still available.

[@FrameRater]

I looked at that game because of your last comment actually! I don't doubt it, there's probably subtle issues that would require adjusting to for long time players.

[@jessragan6714]

@@FrameRater I don't want to give you the impression that Mega Zone was fantastic or anything... it's not! But it was one of those oddball games that would pop up randomly in arcades, and was just good enough to pop a few quarters into whenever you saw it. Sort of a ground-bound Xevious with an ocular theme and extremely cheap enemies. You will dread carrots after you play this.

[@Xpert74]

So, with Game Room, it was a joint Xbox Live Arcade/Games for Windows Live collection/service/thing. Initially you could either pay the equivalent of $3 USD to get a copy of a game for either XBLA or Games for Windows Live, or pay $5 USD to get a copy for both XBLA and Games for Windows Life together. That's for every single game in Game Room, which adds up. At some point they changed this so that paying $3 USD gave you copies for both XBLA and Games for Windows Live with no issue. Still pretty expensive, unfortunately. I did take the time to get 100% achievements in Game Room though, lol

[@FrameRater]

I heard getting 100% in this game takes a reeeeeally long time.

[@SmokeConcentrates]

I wanted game room really bad back in the day but the selling point was just way to high. If they would have priced it better that would have for sure been one of the best things you could have bought on the arcade.

[@garaschneider4808]

Soul Calibur on 360 is actually MISSING features, specifically the entire Mission Battle campaign mode as it was a remaster made when Microsoft enforced a size cap on all downloadable games. So you get HD resolutions in exchange for losing the entire single player campaign. Not worth it now considering its age and delisting.

[@lady1kaka]

Ah, Game Room... Had quite some potential but the pricing was off. Should have been free with gold or something.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

Still don't know why they didn't call Sonic the Fighters Sonic Championship on subsequent re-releases... that's the name of the arcade machine outside Japan anyway.

[@WaveGazer]

To this day, I am still angry that Krome teased that the arcade version of Sunset Riders was going to be in Game Room....and then they never added it. Microsoft should've found another dev studio to work on Game Room because Krome seemed like they were not competent enough to handle it.

I honestly dislike being this sort of "intense" guy, but I honestly dislike when this happens everytime. Did you really just gave up at Guwange and Exelica? It honestly feels like you just gave a look 1 or 2 stages while being bored and decided "nah". Your complaints and irony against Guwange's screen options is pretty annoying when the description literally says "Press A for more options", and that's where the scaling can be applied. Some of these options are insanely hardcore and very specific for a public, world record holders, you name it, sure... but does that gives it a right to deny them/make it look akward/make fun of it like you did...? And as for Exelica, which is probably my favourite game on your video period, honestly missing out the entire most unique point of the game makes pretty sad, and I honestly don't even want to bother mention what it is, even tho is just one button press, it's on the tutorial, and might be the reason lots of friends even remember it, but making jokes about the chetos (ngl, they look like that) was more serviceable than actually trying to look at the games. It honestly bugs me because these are the sort of videos that people might find, these are probably their first contact at something, and receiving these point of views is bad for genres like these because they wouldn't bother with them. Good enough video, good showcase, awful descriptions at the stuff shown however.

[@FrameRater]

I didn't do as much research on that game as I should've. Sorry about that, it's not my intention to insult the games just poke light fun if anything. But I understand and agree with what you've said. Thanks for speaking out, I'll do my best to improve here.

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD is a remake not a remaster. Its not a port either.

[@FrameRater]

From what I understand it's a retextured version of SSF2 Turbo the arcade game. There are also new features as per "remix" in the title. It was remade in a new engine, but faithful to the original SSF2 Turbo arcade game. You could call it a remake or a remaster imo. That recent Crisis Core game was completely rebuilt but for the most part it's just a graphical upgrade. So I also consider that a remaster.
