There are tons of games from SNES and Genesis that are awesome on a stand up cab. Many console games of that era either were originally arcade games or followed the same design of play.

There were 1st party arcade controls released for those consoles for a reason.

Did you ever see Super Mario World or Sonic the Hedgehog in cabinet form at the arcades?

Yes and those arcade controls were mostly for popular arcade ports such as Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat.  I can't imagine playing certain games like Contra 3 using a SF2 arcade button layout cause some things are done easier on the original controllers.  Being able to hold both left and right triggers down comfortably and still be able to hit the other 4 buttons.  I was going to list NES as an example but then again I remember there were those Player's Choice 10 or red tent sit down cabs.

Red Robin's (Burger Joint) up in Edmonton, Alberta has (had? idk) a Mario Bros upright. Playable, not overly difficult, but I'm not a fan of arcade controls for side-scrollers. :S

Anything and everything!
May not have the proper controls,
or even like the game, but there's
hard drive space to fill darnit'.

Ummm... Okay...

Not every game works with the same controls. What is your point?

Do you play Marble Madness on your arcade machine with a joystick?

No, of course not. Just as I wouldn't play any SNES or Genesis game on my arcade cab that didn't work well with the controls. There are hundreds of games that do work well with the controls though.

I know MANY people that do not like to play fighting games with an arcade stick. They like using a gamepad, because that is what they always used where they played the game. It is what they grew comfortable with, and they work just fine for them.

I use arcade controls, because it is what I have always used, and it works just fine for me.

Legend of Zelda (SNES) is quite fun using arcade controls.
