Nope. The arcade version was a bit after.

DK3's a good port but it's a shame they took out where the bugs eat Stanley alive.

Really? Weird. Somebody was on here raving about how the NES only caught on because of arcade ports, and cited that.

How are color-reduced versions of the same artwork, and tinnier versions of the same songs more appealing?

Soul Edge/Blade was better on the PS1 than the arcade.

It's so much better. They didn't know what the fuck to do with the extra colors on the original, and the repeating synth thing on the arcade version is for shit.

...Wow.

Anyway, with the exception of the Japanese Accent Core port and its oddities, the GGXX series is a better experience at home. The transition from versus screen to Heaven or Hell is almost instantaneous in the PS2 versions, while the Atomiswave originals subject you to a solid four or five Mississippi count before loading each match.

EDGE MASTER MODE.
thats what it was called... right?

Doom 64

Gradius III snes. I must stress this one. It must be stressed.


I'd like to think anything arcade konami made in the 8-16 eras got a great job in the cleanup editor porting department.

The arcade (Pistol Pete's Pizza) was where I'd first played Super Mario Bros. as well.

I would add Beatmanias, especially if you buy/build a better controller.

whaaaaaaaat

The arcade version songlists totally dwarf the home versions. That's reason enough.
