Such a great game!!

Ability to fight the cops (odd not to have this in the original?), slight upgrade to all facets of the game, and avoids whatever intangible it is that makes 3 not quite right.

Top ten Mega Drive game, easy.

Wait… not even an edit, I realised before I posted… “remastered”?! I’ll Google

The adventures of Batman and Robin from the Megadrive era looks and plays like an arcade game.

Oh I didn't realised you'd replied to that post!

Yeah there's a remastered rom that smooths out the framerate, and allows you to play CD based music if you have a Mega CD attached, its very impressive.

Parappa the rapper and umjammer lammy would both have made great bemani style arcadegames.

Rtype delta and gradius 5 never hitting the arcades is kinda crazy, maybe something for the EXA team to sink their teeth into?

One of my alltime favourite games is Assault suit valken/cybernator, would love to see something like that in an arcade, imagine it with dynamic difficulty and a risky scoring system, tasty!!

Can't beat a mech game in the arcade alright, Assault Suit Leynos has a great arcade-y feel to it once you get through all that Japanese dialogue :D

Mega Drive was filled with great coin op style looking games, much more than SNES was. I always thought SNES games were too pretty so to speak. Assault Suit was a great looking game, same with Alien Soldier, also stuff like James Pond, Monster Lair, Castlevania Bloodlines, Bare Knuckle II, Gunstar Heroes, some of these were in arcades as well but impressive versions at home regardless. I had a ball for awhile when I had my scart genny setup I ran most of these games on my cabinet in RGB.

Wolf fang has the right aesthetic but the gameplay is garbage...

That'd work brilliantly with a force feedback trackball, maybe with some kind of resistance you added more items.

Otocky always felt like it could have had something done with it for an arcade to me

Nexzr but shorter would be great as already mentioned.

I always liked Castle of Illusion or the PCE/NES Jackie for kids. On the shooter side Musha, Arrow Flash, Axelay.

And Paprium for sure.
