What they have isn't much of a start but i hope it get's more down the road.
Btw and a link to what namco has planned for it.

I really like the list of Namco games. I guess they're not going to release any System-22 games. There goes my idea of having an arcade perfect Ridge Racer at home.
Am pretty excited about this and i hope that Nintendo will release some of there arcade games like Donkey Kong,Donkey Kong Jr. and Popeye(most likely won't happen but i can dream). :D
Nice! If it turns out half as good as XBLA it will be fantastic.
pretty sad that the Wii has turned into a 250$ MAME machine.
:D :D :D Space Harrier :D :D :D

Better then worrying about having the right version of mame to play what ya want :P
As great and awesome as MAME is, not all of those Namco games are emulated perfectly, especially if you're wanting to play Cyber Sled. Even on my Quad Core 3ghz machine with an 8800gt and 6gb ram it crawls and has issues. I am glad that namco and nintendo are going to be releasing arcade stuff. Not to mention it looks good on a standard TV for the older games. Well for me anyways since that's what my Wii is hooked up too.
While I don't have a Wii, and I wouldn't buy these even if I did have one, I'm glad to see they aren't just rehashing the same old garbage that is on the typical Namco collection discs all the time.
Keep in mind though, I find it doubtful that the US side will get all of those JP titles. IF they do, I will be surprised.
