Super Smash Brothers Melee would make a really cool title for arcade play. Star Fox Assault, Soul Calibur 2, Viewtiful Joe, Alien Hominid, Mario Kart Double Dash.. Plenty of cool games, only sucks that there's no easy way for NTSC folks to get anything better than S-Video.. But then S-Video on a good TV set looks better than RGB on a mediocre monitor.. Eg; my Neo Geo CD on my 27" phillips set looks better than my Neo Geo MVS on a brand new Happs 19" monitor.. |

Most of the good games need an analog stick (or 2) - not usually suited to hacking to arcade controls. Also lack of RGB (for you NTSC people) is a major downer...of course I'm ok on that score ;D Xbox has to be *much* better suited IMO...hard drive mod means no disc swapping, it has lots of games that use digital controls (fighters etc.), many emulators available, has IPAC & AV (arcade monitor) adaptors available from Ultimarc etc... |

Both have failed in my XBox, at least - but I bought it at launch, so maybe the newer models arent made out of junk.. Anyhow, I'm just saying that for the price of an XBox+ mod + adapters + big HDD, you could put together an equally capable PC. Other than DOA3 I cant think of any XBox exclusive titles that would be well suited for an arcade, but GCN has plenty of "pick up and go" type games - the Mario Party series would be pretty cool on a 4-player panel. There are plenty of arcade sticks for GCN that support analog, this is just the first google link I saw.. http://www.whitedog.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=104 |
