But, for the genuine arcade experience, they should have played squeezed together, shoulder to shoulder. :lol

Are these available on any modern system? I'm sure I'll MAME it up but it would be great to have some enhancements on Steam/XBLA. Also thinking about grabbing an arcade stick just because.

My god! One of my balls just dropped, now if the Simpsons Arcade game can ever do the same... the other ball can drop as well!

They HAVE to be, it's the only explanation (both for their continued work and the quality of their product).MoxManiac said:

Absolutely! Capcom continued to refine and add depth to the genre while Konami seemed content to stick pretty closely to a basic Final Fight set of mechanics.andymcc said:

No doubt. Shadow over Mystara, AvP, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, The Punisher, Knights of the Round, are all pretty stellar.
X-Men, the Spider-Man Arcade game, Captain America and The Avengers...lots of possibilities out there. I'd enjoy all of them. Don't even need HD.

Wow Konami is not fucking around with the proper treatment. Original developers and not backbone? That's some kind of miracle.
Also looks perfect in widescreen. Even in arcades back in the day, two rounded CRT's placed next to each other always looked crappy in the cabinet :lol.
I am super intrigued over this Japanese version which you are able to 1CC.
As far as conveyor belt action games go (don't like the term beatumup), a 1CCable X-Men, IE this Japanese version, actually might hold up as one of the best. One thing Konami's games in this era had going for them was insane amounts of enemies and action. X-Men is in a class of it's own, 6-player across two screens and retarded amounts of sentinals and non cannon creatures awaited.
