I dunno. Anyway, yeah! Maybe this is why SEGA stock went up a tiny bit. Print a little moneys.

Are you sure about that? I'm pretty confident that the code for Sega Racing Classic was redone from scratch.brain_stew said:

Yeah, I used to love playing these games with that machinegun. Honestly, I could probably never play it again without it. It was just one of those games you needed to experience in the arcades.

I wonder as a last minute release for Wii at the end of its life cycle, they'll do a SEGA Light Gun compilation and put all of their Wii light gun ports on one disc? Surely they can all fit on one disc?
Well maybe Ghost Squad and HOD3 might take up too much space for that... unless they use a dual-layered disc.

I will buy a Wii for this.
I've dreamed of ports for these games since the Sega Saturn days. I haven't played either game in over a decade.
The ports have to be arcade perfect though. I'm not sure Wii can handle Model 3.2 and I'm not kidding.

Yes. Jeez man. Go play Super Mario Galaxy and ask yourself that question again. Just because few developers do jack shit with the hardware, it doesn't mean the hardware can do jack shit.

Shame it's not coming out on the VC. Yeah I know the file size is probably too big, would've been a perfect fit
Ahh well, at least it's still coming (Now, how's about a Panzer Dragoon collection SEGA?)

Daytona USA 2 looks a lot more impressive to me than Mario Galaxy. It's probably throwing as much or more geometry, better detailed textures, and it's 60FPS.
Mr. Pointy said:
Simply not true.
In some ways maybe, Naomi/DC had it's advantages, but the best Model 3 visuals are not being replicated on Dreamcast or PS2, no way. The PS2 could maybe match the fill rate, but it can't touch the texture detail. DC could get close to that detail, but it would cut polygons and draw distance. Neither machine is doing a perfect Model 3.2 port, nope.
The Xbox... maybe. I still have my doubts about that.
If the Wii port is up to snuff I will buy the console and game.

mario galaxy is also 60fps of course you would have to play the game to know that

I don't know what to tell you. On paper, the Wii easily surpasses any version of Model 3. In practice, I doubt you'd find many who would agree with your technical assessment of Daytona 2 vs Mario Galaxy.Arpharmd B said:
The Dreamcast could chuck as much geometry as the original Model 3. The Wii can manage, I'm dead certain of it.

I have and it's not.
Listen, I'm done arguing!
I'm making one point and it's true whether ya'll want to accept it or not: Daytona USA 2 looks better than any and every console game from last gen. Period.
I don't know what's in that Model 3.2 that on paper makes it weaker than a Dreamcast, but believe me there's a magical blast processor or something cause it's smoking all racers on Dreamcast. As is Scud Race, and that's Model 3.0.

I didn't say it was weaker than a Dreamcast, I said the Dreamcast could throw as much geometry.Arpharmd B said:
I did say the Wii easily surpasses it and it does. But since you're acting like a weiner now (MY OPINION IS TRUE WHETHER Y'ALL HATERS CAN HANDLE IT OR NO), I agree, there's not much point arguing. You're just flat-out denying facts now.
If you want an example of a Dreamcast racer keeping up with and outdoing Scud Race and Daytona 2, go compare some videos with Metropolis Street Racer.
I really hope these games still hold up. I have really fond memories of playing both games at arcades when I was a kid, but Gunblade NY is literally over 15 years old now. Most 3D games made in 1995 have aged really badly.
If they're actually remaking the graphics then that's awesome, but I feel like Sega would consider that too much work and just go with the "quickie port" route (see HotD 2/3).

Whoa! Really unexpected.
It won't be quite the same without the giant guns that vibrated to the point of pain but I'm super happy this is happening.

I like light-gun games like this, but just can't get into them on the Wii. The whole cursor shooting thing just doesn't feel the same and not as fun.

just watched some vids on youtube. sadly there are no direct feed LA machine guns videos but the memories...oh man....so awesome.
I wanted to buy a LA MG arcade cabinet a few years ago but boy that fucker is expensive
horrible trolling?
seriously, it's like someone claims the SNES can't handle a NES game or worse a gameboy game

All I know, is that this had better reach the shelves at some point in the future. I don't want to be teased by rumors only for the games not to come out. This set just shot up past everything else coming out soon on my list for the Wii! LA Machine Guns is hella fun, bring it on!!!

I've always been a fan of putting money in both slots and going akimbo in lightgun arcade games. Gunblade and LA Machineguns are pretty crazy like this. XD

It's the twin Lockheed-Martin Real3D-Pro/1000 GPUs that make Model 3 Step 2.1 somewhat better than Dreamcast in some (not all) areas of graphics.
Real3D/100 chip and Real3D-Pro/1000 image generator.
It's true that Daytona USA 2 looks better than just about any console racer of the last generation. The amount of textures thrown around is more than what we saw from most console games. Even the Xbox version of the Daytona USA 2 bonus track in OutRun2 is a downgrade from the arcade in various ways.
The Wii is more than a match for Model 3 though. The graphics in Mario Galaxy prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt. You know something, the ray-surfing in Loop-De-Loop Galaxy remind me of Model 3 visuals, only better.

Nice! I just played LA Machineguns for the first time a few weeks ago and was thinking it would be cool if they ported it to Wii.
Heh, I remember these. Of course I had to look them up on Youtube first. The graphics haven't aged well at all but the games are still tons of fun. If this is really dirt cheap I might just snap them up.
It may just be dirty cash-in ports, but the number of classic arcade shooters coming to the Wii is rather endearing.

I agree. I like to get into them by looking down the barrel of the gun while shooting. As the pointer is not 1:1 on the screen (especially on big screen TVs, where this would be the coolest) it feels like your just moving your hand to move a target, not shooting a gun.
