The graphics for PD: Orta were so great for the time. I'd hate to see it brutalized on the Wii. and boy, would my arm get sore after awhile, that game's intense.
Besides, doesn't Nintendo have a rail-shooter franchise? remember Star-fox? he's not just a cheap-ass smash bros character. Get too it Nintendo!

Lol what? I don't think the Wii would have any problems running Orta.

PSP has that Power Stone Collection.
Though, what I heard from someone who got it, the loading times on it really kills it.
(wonder if it's better on PSP-2k?)

Powerstone was what sealed the deal on me getting a dreamcast. At the time when i first saw it the best games graphically i had seen wereon the N64. Powerstone looked so smooth tasty that i just wanted to make love to the screen.

ive been thinkin about this for awhile.
-panzer dragoon
-virtua cop (trilogy would be nice, and maybe a fourth. but since we didnt get a port of the third..)
-punch out
-starfox
-lost world arcade by sega
-waverace (or even waverunner by sega)
-pilotwings
-space/planet harrier(s)
-jet set/grind radio
-virtua on (using 2 wiimotes as control sticks that mount on an official arcade stick type peripheral)
and a few games using the balance board..
-1080 snowboarding
-top skater by sega
-air trix
-motor raid (i think sitting in a chair with your feet planted on the balance board would make for some nice motorcycle games.)
basically.. i want the wii to be the next dreamcast... itd be a nice system for old arcade ports that we never got to have on a home system. itd also be ideal for 2d fighting games, beat em ups, or shmups if devs wanted to make them. only way i see on rail/light gun shooters, shmups, 2d games, and arcade style racers and such survive without a sega console is through the wii.

"-virtua on (using 2 wiimotes as control sticks that mount on an official arcade stick type peripheral)"
That would be painful on cost, especially as vs. mode was what kept my interest up in those games. I think you could have a well-implemented control scheme with the wii-mote and nunchuck, and it's a game i would long for.

yeah true, but u know they release ridiculously priced peripherals all the time for games that wont have a huge following (steel batallion). im just sayin though, i know plenty of ppl with wiis that have at least 2 remotes, all im askin is for a base for you to plug your remotes into that has the triggers facing away from you, i think that would emulate the twin stick pretty well. put a big button in the middle and there you go. im sure they could get by with bundling that with the game for only 70 or 80 bucks, and that would be similar to a "collectors edition" of any other game. but yeah i know it could get expensive, so having an alternative like a wiimote/nunchuck control scheme would be needed.

Overly complex controls for a overly simplistic game. To tell the truth, those controls make the game less fun to play. All you have to do, with the Wii controls, is Point a Shoot; Unlike the joystick controls of dodge and shoot(fight and aiming is done by the same analog stick). Motion controls aren't needed for a rail shooter like Panzer Dragoon, due to it simple control scheme.

Man, this was one of the first games I thought of when I heard of the Wii controls. And I REALLY wish it would happen...
