Somebody is confusing arcade games that were ported to the NES with NES games ... :dunno

how am i confusing it? I said clearly that many "NES classics" were arcade games first. then were ported to the NES. DK was an arcade game first. and if im not mistaken so was the original Mario Brothers and Rampage. I know there are others but those are 3 of my favorites that stick out at the moment

Sorry ... it's just that, for the old folks, it is strange to hear somebody call Donkey Kong, Mario Bros or Rampage NES games since they were arcade games which were ported (e.g. NOT the same game, but a facsimile) to various consoles.
Anybody who cites Donkey Kong, Mario Bros or Rampage as a reason to include consoles in their arcade cabinet is always going to bewilder me.

Agreed.
People need to know the difference between a port and an actual release.
Though some arcade games did get an NES overhaul...like for instance Gyruss. The arcade version and NES version is not the same game. The NES version was more of a remake than a port -- with additional gameplay elements like boss fights, multiple powerups, and new artwork.

exactly. Playchoice itself (if I remember correctly) was like an arcade system for playing nes titles, which is different than some games like those mentioned above which were actual arcade releases ported to NES later (although there is some overlap in titles between the two)
To me, none of those reasons listed are actual reasons to put console emulators in a cab, they are reasons to either get the original games, mame releases of them, or console emu releases of them. If you are nostalgic for how you originally experienced them, then getting the originals or getting them for mame and putting them in a cab makes sense...as does arcade controls for a mame cab... not sure how that's a reason for console emus being in a cab/hooked up to arcade controls.
I guess if console emu is somehow your only option to relive your arcade experiences for those games it makes some sense, but just in general it seems strange to me to hook up console emus in an arcade cab...like...paying metroid or megaman or something on arcade controls just wouldn't feel right to me. You can't argue with preference- if that's someone's preference, more power to you. But trying to reason it out as far as what titles appeared where or whatever doesn't make sense to me. In the 99% case- if you remember playing it in the arcade, it's an arcade game (regardless of what it was later ported to), and you can find it in mame/original pcb.
