Are you a bad enough dude for Data East Arcade Classics? photo

The ESRB had kind of spilled the beans on this one, but now it's official -- Majesco will be releasing the Data East Arcade Classics for the Wii in early 2010.
 
The collection will feature 15 games, including: Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja, Magical Drop III, Heavy Barrel, Side Pocket, Peter Pepper's Ice Cream Factory, Burnin' Rubber, Caveman Ninja, and more. The game will allow you to link your high score to your Mii, as well as implementing an achievement-like system that ties 75 different goals across the 15 games. 
 
Data East Arcade Classics supports all kinds of controls -- Wii Remote and Nunchuck, Classic Controller, or straight up GameCube controller. All this for only $19.99. Virtual Console says what?

I can't help to feel that whatever the collection has, it would have double that amount if it was on 360 or PS3...

Will I finally have another version of Karnov to play? I love that Russian strongman on a mission from God to kill fishmen.

Came here to bitch about lack of Joe & Mac, but then remembered that, in Japan, Joe & Mac = Caveman Ninja. Sooooo happy. Now let's see if they dare to include the awesomely craptastic Robocop arcade game (copyrights be damned, Murphy will rise again!).

I wonder if there will be some sort of rotating joystick for Heavy Barrel. It was one of my favorites in the arcades, but home versions always paled in comparison because you couldn't move, turn, and shoot at the same time. Maybe the right thumb stick on the classic controller?

@GoatRoyale:

Actually, I think it was called Caveman Ninja in the arcades over here too. I found a machine about mile from my house. I wonder how much I would have to pester them to get them to sell it to me.

I played Magical Drop III a few times. I just couldn't get into it.
