XBLA is taking requests

XBLA is taking requests photo

Right now, Microsoft are asking you, the despicable gaming public, for your feedback, ideas and requests for all things Arcade. Want to see something on XBLA, a new game and/or feature? Now's your chance to opinionate, kids. The 'Soft want to know what you desire.

Expect most people to just ask for "cheap games plz lolz," while personally I'd just prefer a game that's worth buying on XBLA that isn't Doom. So, basically, my request is Doom II. What about you? Eh? Eh?

The Capcom developed D&D arcade games would be nice, especially with online play for four players.

Actual arcade games would be nice. You know, all the good ones I loved growing up that don't suck ass.

Oh yeah, how about an arcade stick for fucking Xbox as well? Playing fighters on live with that controller is comprable to playing with the Dreamcast controller, no thx.

Yea Doom 2 Sounds about right to me or tetris multiplayer (4 player split screen via xbl or ever more players would be awesome)

I've been playing Doom quite a bit. But then I found out that you don't get the double-barreled shotgun. Which is a downer since it is my favorite weapon in Doom II. It would be nice if they came out with some user-made maps also.

So, please, Doom II.

I've just now started the Thy Flesh Consumed episode. It is crazy-hard.

How about a confirmation of all those rumors that Ikaruga and Quake III are coming to XBLA?

C'mon, guys. I eat those.

tazarthayoot-I'm pretty sure there is an arcade stick manufactured by Madcatz for the 360- may be wrong though!

I would rather see some more original games, i can only be bothered playing so many early nintendo games before i get sick of it. I'd also like monopoly and risk.. both games that atari owns the license for I think?

x-men arcade with full 6 player support and updated graphics. same goes for the simpsons arcade. both for $5. i'd cream my pants.

also, some raiden/1942-esque shooters. something with high replay value like that. assault heroes doesn't count. ikaruga does, though.

oh, and user-created content which we were promised way back when the xna development tool was released. make good on your promises already, come on.

How about Super Street Fighter 2, Marvel Vs. Capcom or SNK, or even the X-Men arcade game. There are hella awesome arcade games I'd love to see on there.

Lets see... In terms of re-makes or emulation - I'd gladly pay for live versions of the following:

Simpsons 4 player - online play - Konami - (same engine as TMNT)

Martial Champions - 2 player online play - Konami

Robocop Arcade - Data East - No onlnie play, but wtf cares!?

Poo F'n Yan!!!!!!! - Konami....

Burger Time!!!

Tempest 2000

Daytona USA 2 - Sega Am2 - 360 certainly powerful enough for this task... Insane online potential!!!

Killer Instinct 1 & 2 - Rare/Nintendo - Yea... Wishful thinking :-/

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 - Enough to convince a few people I know to take the 360 plunge.

Street Fighter Alpha 3 - simply the best fight of skill around

NBA Jam - Midway!!!

4 player Off Road - Midway ?

I'm sure there are others that are worth noting, although it's Monday and I'm not done with my morning coffee yet.

BurgerTime (which ever console releases this on their download service first is the winner for this generation, IMO.)

Board = Cosmic encounter, Risk(2019 version for more kaboom) Munchkin, maybe one of those "hero quest" type games which would work like turn-based rpgs) All with camera support, camara support for catan.
Killer Instinct 1 or 2 or even better a remix with all chars from both!!
STAR CONTROL mother fucking TWO with online SUPER MELEE!! although original star control would be more like xbox live material with online boardgame feel. PKUNK 4 Life
The Moonpod Games umm . . . games
Samurai Showdown 2
One of my favorite arcade games was elevator action 2 for some reason, the rolling thunders, the original shinobi or shadow dancer. The aliens versus predator arcade game. Forgotten Realms(the shooter, not the rpg) Blaster master(ALL OF THEM even the ps1 version no one but me bought) make sure part one is PoP-ified.
Blasteroids, best asteroids game EVAR i thinks its atari's
okthanksbye. . .

I would like to see some games I can play with my friends on the same TV. I think Monopoly would be a good move in that direction.

Xmen arcade, Spider-Man arcade, Simpsons Arcade, TMNT II, Streets of Rage (all), Golden Axe revenge of death adder, Renegade, X-men COTA, Xmen vs Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes, Marvel vs Capcom 1+2, The Speed Rumbler, Alien vs Predator arcade....

That's all I can think of right now. Or course, I got the Red Ring of Death yesterday and have to replace my Xbox first. Grrrrr.

Howzabout that Aerosmith scored shooter? fun too play while Steven Tyler screamed in your ear. i know it would suck now, but what about Pit-Fighter? that game was great because of the graphics (for its time) and getting stabbed by the crowd if you got too close to the edge. Also Goonies2 for the NES. that was the best game ever made.
