Doom 64 was amazing but it wasn't a port.

Rush 2049 on DC is my choice for biggest improvement from arcade to home console. The DC version added the stunt mode, the battle mode, and the retractable wings that completely opened up the gameplay.

Isn't that only because they include a fair amount of songs from previous styles? The console versions have brand new songs (and in the last two games, were the best songs of the package!)

What about the nes port of TMNT arcade, it was pretty decent actually.

It was good (for NES), but it was not better than arcade.

Yeah. The bulk of the songs are returning from old styles, with fifty or so new ones per game. Still, I prefer a hundred returning songs to twenty or thirty. And I think the arcade games have been getting the recent console-exclusive songs via e-amuse, but I'm not totally sure on that.

Can you mess with all the variations of notes and what not like you can in the home versions of Beatmania?
