Was thinking the same thing.

In terms of long-running franchises, I suppose all the legit entries in the Mario series (SMB, 2, 3, World, 64, Sunshine, Galaxy and Galaxy 2) can be played on the Wii.
It doesn't even matter as the PS3 (all PS3s) can still play PSX discs.
...or Metal Gear Ghost Babel and Twin Snakes for that matter.

How is, say, New Super Mario Bros. not a legit entry?

Because it isn't. It's a party game used to sell more Wii remotes.

Dead or Alive 1-5 are playable on the Xbox 360.

Yep, a game designed for single player first and foremost just like any other Mario side-scroller, yet somehow it's a party game.
A Mario game more difficult in the latter stages than Super Mario World (barring the Special Zone) and arguably Super Mario Bros. 3, but somehow it's a party game.

You guys can delude yourselves all you want. Nobody's going to give a shit about the New series in five years. Nintendo won't either.

...people aren't going to give a shit about games which sell over 20 million copies world wide.
Ok then.

One's a non-canon alternate story and the other is just an enhanced port.
If Ghost Babel counts for MGS, then the CD-I games count for Zelda.
Portable Ops is part of the canon story.
On a PS3 Slim the only Tomb Raider you can't play is Angel of Darkness.
Doesn't matter since the PS1 discs will still play on any PS3.

Has a Platform been announced for Ace Attorney 5? Its long running, been running since 2001...Ace Attorney 1-4 and the spin-off Investigation games can all be played on DS family. Spin-off with Prof. Layton if you add in 3DS too. Hmm, I'm noticing Capcom franchises cropping up a fair amount.
Also Rockman and Forte could eventually hit the Wii VC in theory...then again I don't think Japan got the Megaman anniversary disc release...so softmod needed again.
Sorry that those veer a bit into "if you emulate them all..."
Hmm, forgot that one for lack of number. Erm...a softmodded Wii might be able to boot Datel's version of the Game Boy Player (it uses shoddy software emulation and plugged into Gamecube memory card slot)...

And flash-in-the-pan summer blockbuster movies top the ticket sales charts every year.
I don't want to argue about this shit man. We just differ on the series is all.

Somehow that fact completely slipped my mind, but yeah, you're right.
So basically, all of the Suikoden games will play on a PS2.

Twin Snakes exist.
No it doesn't. That's an abortion.

the cinematics fit the tone of the series pretty well.

FFXI doesn't have any PS2-specific servers. All servers are region and platform-agnostic. You can still play FFXI on BC PS3s.

Im not sure what the point of this thread is?
Seems to be a glorified backwards compatibility and/or remake thread.
That being said this V is what i was going to post.

Colours is a pretty glaring omission :/
Obviously you don't want to argue, but those sales were over 3 years. If it were flash-in-the-pan wouldn't it have fizzled out by then?

...just surprised that the PC apologists haven't piped up yet.
Elder Scrolls as one example...

Elder Scrolls is the tip of the damn ice berg when you're pulling PCs in.
GC-compatible Wiis come awfully close for Nintendo, and I believe DO cover all console Zeldas that weren't streamed over satellite.

I've been saying that for a while. Next year will also be the 10th anniversary of the franchise and probably the first next gen entry. It has a potential to be pretty major for the franchise.
Also, the only COD game that isn't current gen is the original.
came here to say this
Halo CE and 2 were on original Xbox... and also on PC.
EDIT wait, what? How does this thread work? EDIT2 oh. Right. Ok. Nevermind me then.
Sorry for bumping this, but I was about to start a thread to argue what the best portable Metal Gear game was when I realized nearly every game is playable on a Vita. Assuming that the Portable Ops and Ac!d games are Vita compatible, the only MG games that aren't available on it are MGS4, Ghost Babel, and Snake's Revenge.
