Thanks for the responses guys. I'm gonna dig through them and come out with some gems. Especially encouraging to hear that Space Channel 5 and Ikaruga are worth getting. I didnt think, and maybe I read this wrong, that there was an activision anthology for the xbox 360. I've considered getting the GBA one. ​And thanks for the Atari Anthology suggestion. I didnt realize it was backwards compatible so I'll definitely look that up.

If we're counting licensed definitely dig dug. Otherwise tempest.

Great lists here. I realized I can't edit my own post, but instead of giving the wishy washy "ugh too many to choose for number 10" answer, I'm amending it to Sonic CD because holy moly is that game amazing. Hadn't played it until just the other week and it's been some time since I got that kick in the chest sort of feeling you get when you experience something that you immediately know/feel is a classic.

So I inherited my brother's unused Xbox360 a few years back and I've only recently started playing it. I've got some modern titles (Splatterhouse, which I think is fantastic, Streetfighter X Tekken, and a few others) but I've found myself discovering some games that I missed out on through the Xbox live store. Some good, Sonic CD (which is absolutely incredible and has almost instantly become my favorite Sonic game), Doom and Doom II, Capcom Arcade Collection, and some not so good, Sonic Adventure (i've heard people really love this game, and while it definitely has some charm, the controls are really awkward). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone here has any recommendations. I'm looking at Radiant Silvergun and one of the King of Fighters or Virtua Fighters games. Which KOF or VF game would you guys recommend and what other Classic titles or classic compilations would you suggest. I already have the Genesis collection (which is great) and the Namco one (also great but strange menu). Also, how are the ports of Nights and the other Dreamcast games on there?

I love Pac Land and I dont mind Pac Man 2 and Pac In Time so count me as "other" otherwise, the original

https://youtu.be/LRm3uRQMfSE There's the specific part of the CUpodcast for those who dont want to scroll through the video.

Somebody may have mentioned this, but as of last week all of the Sega 3D classic games were on sale (roughly half off). If you dont own them you really should and I'd suggest going with Streets of Rage 2, Sonic 2, Out Run and Super Hangon if you want to only get a few.

if I understand that correctly, I'd have to get the lego dimensions game to get that to work? Bummer. I was hoping we'd have at least one Arcade Compilation on the Wii u (I know there are some on the WII but I really like using the gamepad vs the wiimote)

I love these threads. I may come back and change it at some point, but off the top of my head (many of these are sentimental) Kirby's Adventure Dig Dug Streets of Rage 2 Wario Land Tempest Circus Atari Gunstar Heroes Castlevania III Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon too many others to think of. I'm better at listing my favorite music. I'd like to put Balloon Fight here but with how much I'm loving Bayonetta 2 and Rayman Legends, they may make their way up to the top 10.

I'm not a hardware guy so I have no real feedback to give there. If, however, you can license Namco titles, you'll definitely have my money for a Dig Dug or Galaga minicade. Or mappy. Or pac-land. I'm a namco guy here so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. EDIT: Yea gimme a mini tempest and you'll get more of my money. I have no idea how you'd manage a tiny trackball for Crystal Castles and the like, but you'll also get something out of me if you pull that off reasonably well.

Yeah but does ridding the retro scene of these guys create a vacuum of power in the retro community to be taken up by someone who could arguably be more insidious? (that's a joke, of course we wont. And I couldn't resist. I hope it's not too political)

Piko sounded incredibly honest on the podcast and I sincerely think that what you heard is what he knew. I don't think there are any lines to read between there.

are the little slapfights over? I hope they are fwiw I'm enjoy the videos provided by the users here, including SD&R's, makes the work day go by quicker.

This is really fantastic and insightful. Your other vides look fun too so I'll be sure to check back.

yikes Looking forward to your next full video on it (your others are great now that I've looked them up) https://youtu.be/U_4qn52MHI8 pat's got a good recap up too.

Between this hilarious mess and shinto's lovely podcast, I'm coming out of all of this really wanting an actual Jaguar.

AS & OR are both perfectly fine. I think I enjoyed X/Y a bit more, but I had no issues with either of these. I really liked the secret base feature. Fun overall.

Ah I dunno I liked it. Maybe I dont have enough experience with the arcade game (which is pretty likely), but I loved the classic game boy port. Anyway, maybe I missed it, but I also really love Burger Time Deluxe and that weird Godzilla puzzle game. I'm also a big fan of most of the capcom disney games (the ones based on the NES games, ect) on the GB. Nemesis and Nemesis 2 are also fantastic.

ah I see I already posted that. Well in addition to Legends I've also been playing Wario Land Shake It (it's alright) and I also got a classic controller to finally play Resi 4

Just recently picked up the GB port of Defender and Joust (one of the arcade classics series) and while I'm ashamed to admit that I never played Defender in the arcade, I can speak to the excellent quality of the Joust port. There's a Mickey Mouse game that plays similarly to the Rescue Rangers NES title that's also fantastic.

Rayman Legends and it's absolutely perfect stoked about getting bayonetta 2 on Friday

I'm a few years late (as with everything) to Rayman Legends, but it is a masterpiece and I love it

Hiramabuff I'm mostly playing Splatoon and Rayman Legends these days but happy to add back anyone from here that comes my way.

Nearly all of the Sega 3D classics are always in some sort of rotation on my 3DS. Been playing a bit of DK Country Returns and Code of Princess. Tried getting into Etrian Odyssey IV but it's been hard going. Maybe I'm just not much of a dungeon crawler. Oh, that and the NES galaga port from the VC.

Wonderful 101 I love the atmosphere and everything else, but the controls kinda hinder getting into a good groove. Not bad by any stretch. Switching between that and Trauma Team which is fantastic.
