Amiga's Fightin Spirit.
Oh, definitely Gradius II and Turtles in Time.
Wasn't Hyperstone Haste almost the same as Turtles in Time? Almost...Quote:

More Run'n Gun action for the people.

The definition of how badass this game is is pretty much at 12:15
The guy pulls a constant wheelie while spraying down enemies.
Should:
Soul of Dracula, for more oldschool Castlevania goodness. Also, Streets of Rage Remake :p
Should have:
...good question, they have quite a few arcade exclusives over the years. A.B. Cop or Desert Breaker maybe(or the obvious: Revenge of Death Adder).
Definitely Salamander (also known as Life Force on the NES), the arcade version:

Another should have:
Power Drift. ...or would that 1988 game need "Mode 7?"
I always thought Konami's Vendetta/Crime Fighters II on Mega CD would have been nice if SEGA outsourced it to the guys who did FFCD.
As for the stock console, Mutant Fighting Hero would have been a good fit, but only the SNES got it BITD.
A few of the older Neo-Geo titles like Cyberlip, Magician Lord and Alpha Mission II would be well within reach of the MD now, but at the time of them being financially viable enough to be ported (read: no later than '92), I imagine there would have been a fair lot of cuts to fit them in say 8 MEGA memory.
Being a big Double Dragon fan I was always disappointed in the home ports and would like to see proper versions on MD today, with all the sound FX and music intact - totally possible with a 16 MEG ROM and a passionate dev.
And a competent port of Metal Slug to really push the limits of the machine.
- Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninja
- Crystalis (Sega porting with permission of SNK?)
- Dragon Quest (Unlikely.)
- Castlevania 1-3 (Compilation like Mega Man: The Wily Wars)
This is a great choice!Quote:

Gradius I&II, Salamander and Dragon Ninja would be perfect. I am sure they could all be perfect or very close to. The Double Dragons would be a good fit too. I was always disappointed that Dynamite Dux was only on the SMS, that would be a good fit too. Seeing as the SMS game was never released in Japan, I am amazed they didn't do a MD version.
They should port South Park: The Stick of a Truth to the Genesis
Why? Were they in a hurry? ;)Quote:

^I think it looks fairly good, considering the other home port was the NES
Almost all Master System exclusives.
From Aleste and Asterix to Phantasy Star and Zillion.
They removed the larger and super large enemies that get in your face, not to mention the Dolph Lundgren Rambo guy.Quote:

I wouldn't mind seeing the C64 homebrew of Guns 'n' Ghosts ported over.

Night Slashers. The genesis would have been good. Somebody else pointed out though that these arcade ports would be much better on the Saturn, and after looking at it I would have to agree.

Sorry. Not sure how to attach a video on here.
Some of those arcade beat 'em ports would run smoother, throw as much, or as close to, as many enemies as the arcade game on the Genesis, but would look closer to the arcade game sprites on the SNES, while only tossing 3 enemies at a time at you.
Much as I'm not into discs, 5th Generation would definitely be better for a lot of them.
Well, Hyperstone Heist feels really phoned in towards the end, like having a boss rush with crappy palette swapped sprites. It's weird because by comparison to Turtles in Time for SNES, Hyperstone Heist looks better (better color use and better animation), feels better (controls are smoother), and imo even sounds better (SNES version sounds weak, and I always hated the hiccupping orchestra hit of the SNES).Quote:

Hell. This game could go to the SMS easily. Of everything posted on here though, I just keep wanting to see more of this than anything else. Totally a 2 player only game though. I wouldn't wan to play a computer.Quote:

Fatal Fury Special should have gotten a Genesis port, the Sega CD version is shit and not optimized at all.
mega sega. madden could have been awesome
You would have to cut down on the graphics some bit for the SMS version though.Quote:

But yeah, seeing this ported to ANY console would be fun.
It's a simplistic game in theory and it's just about handling all those frames of animation and getting the physics just right (I imagine this wouldn't be quite as fun if it moved about at the pace of Karateka).
Magic Sword. The SNES didn't have the blast processing required to handle 2 player.
Magic Sword without 2 player is like Final Fight without 2 player. Wait...
^So it isn't just me? I thought that game was pretty dull, the way it would just keep going(arcade version anyway). I wasn't going to sit through 100 levels of that...
What killed Magic Sword on the SNES was the horrible slowdown, more than the lack of a second player.
I would have loved a port of R-Type and R-Type II. Hell, if we are doing Neo stuff, I'd be super happy with some Magician Lord, Last Resort, and Blazing Star. A lot of the old MVS games could have made it. I can totally imagine a really solid port of Wind Jammers. (drool...)
Baseball Stars 2
The Guardian Legend
A Genesis port with similar graphics to the NG version and the team-building features of the NES version would have been awesome.Quote:
