What games did you wish had been ported to the PCE/TG-16?

[sanjo]

What game that appeared in arcades or other consoles, did you wish see ported to the PC-Engine and CD / TG-16?

for me:

Area-88/UN Squadron: A number of Capcom's CPS1 games were ported to the PCE, and surprisingly Area 88 only came out on the SNES/SFC and some lesser known computers. I always thought it would have been right at home on the PCE. maybe a conversion that would be more like the arcade, with two players, rather than the single player version found on the SNES port.

KOF 94: This one never came out on any of the 16-bit systems. I think with the sheer amount of characters, it might be only limited to cd based consoles like the mega-cd or pce-cd.  ram limitations probably might limit in-round character swaps, and resort to going round by round matches. but I feel the PCE could've done it.

what say you guys?

My picks would be a fancy multi-player Tetris, more Neo Geo ports for the Arcade Card (King of the Monsters!), more multiplayer brawlers (Final Fight, Simpsons, and TMNT) and more run n guns (Contra and Bucky).

Thanks, I'm still relatively new in this forum and figuring out the threads!
Since there's already an arcade port wishlist.. maybe this one can be a console only port wishlist?

Since some Konami games came out for PCE.. would like to see a Contra game. They nailed Castlevania, I would imagine they could make a great Contra one too!

since Hudson soft was one of the main guys for PCE, it would've been nice if they brought Milon's castle over too

[NecroPhile]

More Hudson stuff would've been great, like PCE ports of Super Adventure Islands, Super Bombermans, and Super Bonks.

[LostFlunky]

Mortal Kombat - even though it was mostly shit.  Sales might have picked up in NA.

NHL 94

More (near) "arcade perfect" games like Galaga 88 and Pac Land.

Super Bonk 2 (the Bonk 3 we deserved)

Street Fighter II Turbo (not a fan of the speed but the extra moves would've been great)
Super Bonk 2 (this was the Bonk 3 we deserved, highly recommended!!)
Ninja Gaiden III

So good you said it twice?

Not PCE per se, but I would have liked to see Varth come to a console sometime between 1993 and 1998.

Samurai Shodown 2 that had graphics like the Genesis and gameplay like the SNES.

[Koa Zo]

Moar Konami !!!

Juno First

[sanjo]

how about in addition to listing what games you wished were ported, how well could it be ported over keeping in midn the PCE's capabilities?

After watching a long play of Area 88. if they based it on the arcade version.. the game is entirely horizontal, so I think the PCE-CD version could use horizontal line scrolling to mimic the arcade's parallax scrolling. I also think it would be closer to the arcade's larger sprite size and resolution compared to the SNES and of course better music of CD based.
If they based the game on the SNES version, I think it would be nearly the same, except perhaps the cave stage which has a lot of vertical parts.

I really wonder how Konami would do a Contra game on the PCE-CD, keeping in mind how awesome Rondo was. I felt their games really pushed both the Sega and PCE to their limits, it would've been awesome if they made it.

Juno First

This guy knows. It was before my time in the arcade, just barely. I never recall seeing one when I was rocking Super Cobra and X's and O's Atari foot ball. I only found out about it from a podcast, then playing it on a multicade. Very good game! From first glance you'd think it was Williams with it similar lasers to Defender, but it is indeed Konami.

There is def a shortage of beat'em ups, so any arcade ports or even new IP of those would be welcome. I was a fan of Target Earth/Leynos so something along those lines like Cybernator on our beloved system would be cool. Spriggian Mk2 does not count.

AtariAge put out an excellent conversion of it for the 2600. Quickly rose to one of my favorites on the system. It definitely would have been amazing on the Turbo.

[esteban]

Juno First?

Wow, I don't know this game (I don't think I do, anyway...)

UPDATE: ...pending...

Ha! I want to play Juno First now!

[kosko99]

Mortal Kombat 
Yeah, was one of my favs back then heh, specially MK2

[JoshTurboTrollX]

I'll be lame and say Square and Enix RPGs.

it would've been amazing to see SCD versions of Actraiser or Secret of Mana.  Just imagine the orchestrated soundtracks.  My guess is these games would remain (gameplay-wise) much the same.

Also, a 16-bit like port of TMNT III- Manhattan Project (TMNT IV style grafx with NES style gameplay)  - my fantasy!

Some snes games have cd soundtracks you can download. Link to the past even has cutscenes!

[spenoza]

An updated version of Silkworm would have been nice.

[TR0N]

Good pick the same can be said for any atari arcade game that ran on the atari system II.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Metal Gear 1 and 2

[o.pwuaioc]

Metal Gear 1 and 2

At least Metal Gear 2! I'm not doling out for an MSX.

[NecroPhile]

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Arcade

Dang, that's pretty cool looking.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Metal Gear 1 and 2

Metal Gear 1 on NES is shit.  You want to play the MSX one anyways.

Magicians Lord
Ghost n' Goblins
Super Street Fighter II X

Puyo Puyo hucard edition

[seieienbu]

The first came out in 96 so it's a tad late, but I've often wondered how well the PC Engine would have done Metal Slug.  Ideally, a PC Engine port would be an Arcade Card CD game I suppose. 

If not that, then maybe a version of Contra that was reworked to avoid flickering sprites everywhere?

[benlefou]

The engine missed out on a lot of 'walk right and fight' brawlers! So would definitely love to have seen more than Crest of wolf and Mad Stalker.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
The Combatribes

Also R-TYPE 3 would have been killer!

[TheClash603]

5 player Zombies Ate My Neighbors would've been an awesome console port.

[esteban]

Inspired by 306ClashThe:

Time Soldiers for five-player co-op (ok, that might be asking too much)

NOTE: Time Soldiers *arcade version*, the SMS game is not in any way Time Soldiers.

This was when SNK made great games, not stoopid Art of vs. fighting Fury

[LostFlunky]

Spelunky.

[saturndual32]

My top 10 would be:
Samurai Spirits
Super Street Fighter 2
Mortal Kombat
NBA Jam
Final Fight
Thunder Force 3/Spirits
Arcade Contra (any of them)
R Type 2
Metal Gear Solid 2
SD Snatcher

[Keith Courage]

Shadow of the Beast 2 and 3. Splatterhouse 2 and 3. oh, and English translations of snatcher, valis 1 and 4.

[soop]

[Arkhan Asylum]

Metal Gear Solid 2

Man, if they could've ported a PS2 game from the future onto PCE, that would have been the tits.

lol.

durrrrrr

<3


really though, MG2 on PCE would've owned.  The soundtrack would've been about the same, but in stereo.

The PCE could have easily handled that game, too.   It might have actually been easier to write on the PCE vs. MSX.

Shadow of the Beast 2 and 3.

Beast3 should've not been a fucking Amiga exclusive.   That was stupid of them, and probably part of why that series tapered off.
