Andarko-

That's easy: Tetris! I became addicted to Tetris on my brother's Nintendo when I was a kid, and have loved it ever since. It's the only game I keep on my cell phone. Fitting little blocks together, especially to increasingly rapid classical music, is relaxing, immensely satisfying, and helps me put my mind in order. The day Tetris comes to Xbox Live Arcade, I will download it immediately!

Greshkov-

This sounds like a cop-out, but since they announced it for Japan, i would really like to see turismo hd over here, pretty damn soon. I know absolutely no one is shocked to hear me say that (or read me write that?) but i think it's a great idea that will help out the ps3. think about it, a high def version of a fantastic racing game that sells millions of copies... for free download. and honestly, turismo has just become a graphics update for the same game. sometimes new cars and tracks are added, and that's exactly what you get with turismo hd (ferrari license finally). Either that, or panzer dragoon and pd saga. But I think those games would work better on 360.

Harking back to my NES days I was enthralled with a little Rare title called R.C. Pro Am. The fast paced, simplistic racing was highly addictive yet still challenging. One little mishap or turn taken too early would result in going from first to worst. If memory serves me correctly it was a Nintendo-published title so it most likely would only appear on the Wii's Virtual Console though I would love to see this title on Xbox Live Arcade with full online multiplayer support. I think it's safe to assume that this will never happen so I'll have to be happy with the chance of it hitting the VC.

B-

One of the biggest reasons for me getting the Wii was the Virtual Console. I am so desperate to play Punch Out!! again. If that was the only game that was available, I would not care. For the PSone downloads, I would love to get a little obscure game called Silent Bomber. This was a game that I first played on Official PlayStation Magazine demo disk (RIP OPM), that I just had to buy on its release day. When it came in, I had a blast, but I couldn't beat the near impossible boss at the end. If you ever come across a copy, I would surely pick it up.

I'm a HUGE fan of Crackpots. I don't know why but I've never been able to get enough. I think I'd like to see either a 4-pack of Activision classics on XBLA for 400 points (3 achiements per game sounds about right for old school Activision) or a brand new XBLA title with the same basic gameplay mechanic. I've always said that if I had the chance I'd put together a team who could put together a remake of Crackpots - of course having zero technical skill has kind of rendered that dream null and void, even with XNA.

danzuke-

There's a few games that top my list, one being River City Ransom (2 player online co-op naturally). But the game I'd love to see the most is Super Dodge Ball for the old NES, with full online multiplayer support. you could do a 3-on-3 (those guys that play out of bounds would be no fun, just guys on the field). This game is a classic and how could you not love running and beaning someone in the head with the ball? Course I'd love to see it one either Sony or Xbox's live service, cause I want to wear the headset. That way, whenever I eliminate someone I can yell:

I'd love to see Nintendo support the classic Gameboy line of games over the VC, actually. I can see why they'd be hesitant to do this for GBA titles, but what about Gameboy and Gameboy Color? Metroid 2, in particular, is getting rarer to find and while the original has seen life in at least 3 forms in various recent titles, the Gameboy sequel hasn't gotten any love.

I'm hoping to eventually see Goldeneye, though I don't think it's gonna happen.

I'd love to see some old old games come out. Like packs of atari. coleco, or intellivision games. Microsurgeon especially!

Mott - You can add me to list of people knocking Red Steel. I finally got around to playing it last night. The controls are a muddled nightmare. I'll be trading it in at my local shop this afternoon - maybe I can hunt down Indigo Prophecy now that it's going to be BC.

Tralf - I had the exact same thought!! There are a ton of old school GB games I'd love to play again, and GBC games I never had a chance to tackle. Super Mario Land 2 and the GBC Metal Gear Solid immediately come to mind. I'd also like to know why we aren't seeing classic Nintendo Arcade games - where's the GOOD version of Donkey Kong already??

Metal Slug, I was addicted to this when I first found it on my holiday in Spain. I spent 1000 pesatas a night on it, which is 4 quid, which is about 8 dollars. Over a week that's $56 I spent on it...and I never finished it. If I ever get rich that's gonna be the first coin-op I buy.
