"While arcades have seen an unfortunate decline in usage over the past years, many of the games have had a profound impact on gaming culture. Here is a quick list of ten of the most influential arcade games."-Amanda from Leviathyn.com.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
"The Contra series is poised to make a comeback thanks to fan favorite-developer WayForward and Konami. Contra: Operation Galuga is a 2.5D reimagining of the original Contra arcade/NES game that will launch in early 2024. The remake looks to retain the series' traditional cooperative run-and-gun action, and we're all about it. How close will Operation Galuga be to the original game, though? Let's compare screenshots and see!" says Co-Optimus.
I am all over this
I wonder if the extra lives code will be included…
I've been waiting for another decent Contra since Shattered Solider PS2.
Day one for me
There was couple good Contras that you have probably missed then. One on DS and Hard Corps: Uprising
Operation Galuga actually comes from the same director as Contra 4 and Spidersaurs, Tom Hulett. This one should definitely feel like a real Contra.
As long as it's not hard like the arcade version, I can never get past the waterfall
The levels are actually remixed and sometimes new, so it's not a straight remake. For instance, there's a level on hoverbikes that wasn't in the original game.
I am certainly welcome to and want new games, but I am ALL about doing this to classic games. They can't do it enough in my book. Personally, I think Sega Saturn and PS1 era games are what I want most. Keep the original gameplay intact, unless the gameplay itself was an issue then fix it, and give those games a complete facelift!!! I understand your point, but for me I LOOOOOOOVE having games from the past being given updated graphics. I am 52 and have been a gamer since the late 70s. I loved the games I played as a kid. The nostalgia is certainly there for me, but I truly love how beautiful games have become and playing games from yesteryear with gorgeous graphics is living those great gaming moments again only beautiful.
Because all of Konami's talent is gone, and they're not willing to take any creative risks these days. So its easier to go back to fan favorite games, and do sloppy remasters, or quickly made low budget remakes of 30 minute NES games.
This one shouldn't be sloppy at all. Also, WayForward is the developer, and they're well known for their proficiency in 2D and 2.5D games.
After Burner Climax launched on home consoles and PC back in 2010, and we've seen very little of the series since.
Fantastic game. I only wish it were bc for xb one. I keep my 360 hooked up specifically to play this and other delisted games like outrun and sega rally.
If Sega is smart (they're not; We've established this a long long time ago, sadly), they'd release a nice collection for current-gen with the best versions of these old arcade-console classics, like Outrun, Crazy Taxi, Sega Rally, Virtua Tennis, Afterburner, etc etc, as well as some of their JP-only releases, like Initial D.
I'm with you.
I want project justice (rival schools in Europe).
I want powerstone both from capcom.
And of course every game you mentioned.
I specifically think sega rally is under utilised. It made people who didn't even like racing games have-a-go and I thought it was great back in the arcades and Dreamcast era. Crazy taxi I never laughed so hard before or since..it was pure gold on dreamcast also
