What Live Arcade Titles Do You Want to See?

[Peench]

Since inception we've seen loads of Live Arcade titles. Some of them have been new games, while others have been remakes of old titles. If you could have any games through live arcade, what games would you want to see?

If it is a retro game, what game is it? If you would rather see new games (i.e. new completely Intellectual Property), please post here.

I'm considering this post a brainstorming post. Once we have a bunch of titles and ideas listed here, I want to create a poll where we can all vote. So please do not limit your ideas at all.

I would like to see a game like "You don't know jack" or something of a similar nature where we could all sit around and answer questions or something like that. Like those gaming systems they have at bars where you answer trivia questions and compete against others. That would be super fun in my opinion.

Get the ideas flowing!

I would like to see:

Battlezone (with co-op and multiplayer)
Afterburner (with co-op and multiplayer)
Orginal Sim City
Chess (multiplayer)
Monopoly (multiplayer)
Life (the boardgame)(multiplayer)
Risk (multiplayer)

Thanks for the reminder Dmiller of a point I forgot to make. If there are features you would like to see, please include them as well. For example, if you would want a multiplayer game to include live support, etc.

I thought of another one: Battle Chess. How cool would that be to play over Live?

And Risk! Risk would be another fun one.

Chess (multiplayer)
Monopoly (multiplayer)
Life (the boardgame)(multiplayer)
Risk (multiplayer)

Wow, those are all great ideas DMiller, me and my friends used to get together every week for castle risk (this was way before playing online was an option).

Tetris (Original emulation w/ leaderboards)
LucasArts adventure games (Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle, Grimm Fandango, etc...)
Marathon!! (!!!!!)
Life (Sounds fun w/ multiplay)

My wife keeps asking to see this game called "Elevator". I don't recall ever hearing of that one, but I'll mention it anyway.

[KEEZY]

Elevator! I think that was some Atari game... maybe not though.

Good ideas Dmills.

I would LOVE a Monopoly game. I had that for NES and would play it all the time. I have it on my phone now.

Tecmo Super Bowl - WITH the classic teams and names. Tecmo Bowl came out on the Wii Virtual Console, but was a hollow shell (no team/player names).

Mutant League football
Dr. Brain

My list has pretty much been fufilled. The only thing I think I really wanted was Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and that's coming out next week!!!!!!!!

[D_Litch]

If you wanna talk about pipe dreams, I want Chrono Trigger. I want it.

[Jon Liu]

Oh if you're going that route... might as well throw Final Fantasy 3 in the works, too!

[breathofj]

Yeah, Symphony of the Night was one of my biggest wants as well.

I would have to say that I'd also love to see an overhead shooter of some kind, wether it be an original or a remake of something like Battle Squadron. One of those multiplayer overhead shooters. Good times.

I was thinking about how the coin-based old arcade conversions just don't translate as well without the quarters. I mean, part of the insanity of TMNT arcade was that it was SO hard that you just plugged quarter after quarter until you were broke. But that was the beauty of the addiction, and it gets lost when translated to Xbox Live Arcade.

1942!!

[Jon Liu]

overhead shooters? Like the original or the second Grand Theft Auto???

Or 1942 works like Zoom said!!

Some NEW games. No more rehash from the 80's arcades...please. There is a reason Geometry Wars is the top selling arcade game. Where's the ton of Indie games? If all Live Arcade is gonna be is a retro virtual arcade than they should stop now. There is a place for it I'm sure, but the constant retro stuff will bring it down in the long haul if a better balance between retro and new games isn't found soon.
