No, arcades died when they didn't change their business model to fit the popularity of consoles.. They need to offer something you can't get at home.

An arcade just opened about 30 minutes from my house, and they specialize in having everything (old and new... they built cabinets for SSFIVA and MK) and letting you play it all for a flat fee. They also do world record events with Twin Galaxies.

The old arcade is dead. The problem is, no one is willing to try anything new.

It's an unlockable in the CONSOLE version. If they're porting the games in HD, they're going to want to use the arcade version- better assets. Therefore- no HOTD2 in your PSN HOTD3...

>_> still wants HOTD 1 and 2 as well.

Thanks for mentioning Yakuza 4, JC. I was worried I was the only one who liked it. It's not the best game I played all year, but it's certainly one of the most fun.

Luddy's lucky number 7 strikes again! Good choice! Loved Shadows of the Damned.

Some of them require leaps of logic akin to jumping off a bridge. It is NOT an easy game. Nothing can be ignored, since it all ties to a greater puzzle.

I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying no one has made anything quite as challenging lately.

Graphically, yes. Try to get someone to play Riven nowadays, though and they will want to kill you. Some of those puzzles are downright SADISTIC.

Ah, Maximum Family Games, publishers of Sniper Elite on the Wii.

Seriously though, this port looks TERRIBLE.

Move it up to the front. The PC version especially is fantastic.

By this logic, all controllers should have one button and one analog stick, but nothing else.

...seriously? Is it that hard to move your thumb 1.5 inches lower? They don't add buttons to clutter up space, they do it to give you additional control over the game. Ever tried playing an iOS game that was designed for a controller? (i.e. Dead Space) It just DOESN'T work well.

I really hope that the reason it's not finalized yet is that they're trying to get Nintendo to let them put a second analog on the 3DS itself.

This is coming from someone who already owns a 3DS. I don't want to carry around a stupid circle pad thingy just to play awesome games like Resident Evil and Metal Gear.
