- XBLA gave us some excellent ports of classic arcade games with brilliant presentations. In my opinion, the Xbox 360 is the best platform for playing these games today, especially when MAME is installed. Want more? Here's part two: • XBLA's Arcade Ports ar...

XBLA was amazing. Battlefield 1943, CoD 1, Keflings, Doom 1 & 2, Duke 3D, Daytona, After Burner, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Banjo Kazooie/Tooie, Dead Rising 2 Episodes, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, Serious Sam, Toy Soldiers, Minecraft, Worms, Perfect Dark. So many original titles and so many great classics that were only on older systems or PC before and some of them still playable with the lastet Xbox hardware. Great times for smaller dev teams and Xbox players alike.
HE HAS NO STYLE
Used to play Battlefield 1943 all the time. I was really good at it aswell. I was like 2nd on the leaderboards for the entire world on it. Haven't been that good at a game since.
You forgot my personal favourite XBLA games which is LUMINES LIVE!
The Simpson Arcade Konami game is such an underrated classic. We ougtha be always grateful to MAME for keeping it alive.
You can blame Konami for that, they delisted it not just because of licencing, but also a falling out with Skullgirls developer Reverge Labs and published Autumn Games.
The first date I ever went on was to the pizza place, where I brought a huge bag of quarters and we preceded to beat the game that night. She was awesome, gave me Ninja Gaiden on the NES. So I have a lot of Nostalgia for The Simpson's arcade game, it was at that pizza place forever, it was the only game they ever kept full time and never rotated out.
Too bad it's a pain to play as any character other than Marge on MAME.
I play it with my kid at my local arcade😎

Why's that?
Sonic the Fighters went a bit above and beyond by finishing/reintegrating a cut fighter in Honey the Cat. She's basically just the Sonic furry version of Honey/Candy from Fighting Vipers, but it's appreciated since most of these are little more than emulations with no extra content.
she might as well be a sonic character now that she's even in the comics
@@lolcat 100%. There is 0% chance that there are more people that know about the existence of Fighting Vipers versus people that know of the existence of Honey the Cat.
god, xbla was my childhood
I never wanted to bother my dad to buy me anything, I always just downloaded a bunch of trials and played them over and over again.
It upsets me to no end that there is an ENTIRE LIST OF DELISTED TITLES... I understand licensing issues and things like that but not all of those games suffered form this issue. If only more people cared about this and if there was more pushback in 2013 when xbox wanted to do this, maybe we could still get these games. Great series frame! Keep up the amazing work man
I also love Rebel Taxi ❤️
Man, I miss scrolling through the Arcade and downloading demos, thanks for this big nostalgia hit Frame!
Please keep this series up. Not enough people talk about delisted games and the more we talk about history being destroyed the more that hopefully we can work to preserve it.
For instance Treasure remastered Radiant Silvergun on XBOX LIVE and it is one of the best remasters I have ever seen of any game. The amount of graphics settings it gives you is just astounding and it pisses me off that the game is going to die and probably never be relisted on modern consoles.
I edited a segment about Radiant Silvergun and its sequel, but forgot to put it in the project timeline. Sadly its lost forever, but that's okay since I'll be making a follow-up to this eventually. I'll be sure to mention their greatness!
You can play Raidiant Sliver Gun on all Xbox Console though 360 onwards yet you can,t for Bangai Oh also by Treasure on 360 it was the only treasure that is like this.
@@Acidonia150reborn I know you can, but that doesn't change the fact that it hasn't been re-released whilst Ikaruga has been re-released on basically everything at this point.
It's still listed as a 360 game. One day the 360 shop will go down and the game will be gone. It's not about if, but when.
Then, the only way to be able to play it will be to hack a 360 and put on delisted games which is a ballache to do. When they could just do the right thing and release it on steam or gog.
@@novelezra Could say the same with Guardian Heros why sega have,nt made a PC port of that ill never understand. The game only got a remake thanks to Castle Crashers to begin with.
@@Acidonia150reborn Exactly my point. It's so bizarre that these games that were digital only are somewhat doomed to remain on a console that most people don't use anymore. I know people will say it's 'rights issues' but you are telling me that Besthesda don't have the right to the DOOM RPG on iOS? Just re-release games! It's free fucking money.
Anyway I am not going to get into an iOS rant because that's a whole fucking shitshow of its own.
Thousands of games possibly lost forever. Fuck you Apple.
The days when publishers actually cared about their classic game re-releases. With tons of extras, Achievements, online play on occasion.
Man, hoping we get to see more of it nowadays. Capcom has been doing pretty good, hell they just released a 32 game collection after a 10 game collection today.
The only good example I can safely say is great with arcade games on home consoles (by that I mean Switch and PS4 only as Xbox and PC don't have anything but the NEO GEO games because of reasons?) is the Arcade Archives series by Hamster Corp. They're really solid, basically perfect in every way. There's only tiny occasional problems (vertical games like the Namco ones don't scale pixels with no filter on to perfect squares unless the screen size is really small, some games have changes like Pac-Land changing sprites due to Namco being scared to use Ms. Pac-Man at all for anything anymore, etc.), but otherwise they're flawless. Hell, they get obscure games out there and include settings most times that you wouldn't even know about, like making Pac-Man harder at the start, or including visuals that would have been cut off by the screen.
Now here's to hoping more companies either do more good collections or that they join forces with Hamster to have the games released there (as well as letting them come to Xbox and PC). Sega haven't done anything for a bit for their arcade games, and Midway and the games they own (theirs, Atari Games and William's) haven't been given some love in a while. I'd happily get a port of Defender on my Switch even for $8.
virtua racing on switch is pretty cool. that’s about it for segas arcade. Id love a version of sega rally and daytona on modern consoles because sometimes i can’t be arsed to pull out my ps3 for daytona and i’m not paying out the arse for a japanese ps2 and a copy of sega rally 2006 box set or a sega saturn
I'm glad I picked up X-Men before it was delisted.
Namco's ports also had a physical re-release via the Namco Museum Virtual Arcade.
Sonic the Fighters has new secret characters you can play as such as Honey the Cat and Robotnik
The Xbox live arcade games got my wife into gaming again. We played so many of these live games. Highscore comparisons with friends. Good times.
Pretty good video, it sucks that Capcom's Aliens Vs Predator and Punisher arcade games were never ported/remastered for Xbox 360. Their still not included in the Capcom Arcade collections.
The arcade version of Super Hang-On on the Alex Kidd & Co. Sega Vintage collection plays amazing with such a great OST. An all time favorite.
If you haven’t seen it yet, there’s an awesome interview with the creator of the Daytona USA soundtrack where he tells how he came up with the idea for the famous Daytona intro song. It’s extremely informative and well done.
Some Namco games were released on a disc that included Pac-Man, Ms Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, New Rally X, and Mr Driller Online. Plus the XBLA games Pac-Man Championship Edition and Galaga Legions.
Has a bunch of other games in the collection too, but those are the only XBLA games on the disc and the rest of the collection apparently doesn’t work on XB1.
I was a huge fan of XBLA I bought everything day one. Much fun!
Integer Scaling was the term you were looking for when it comes to sharp scaling. Knowing the consistent output (regardless of the LCDs output scaling) the console does should allow at least integer scaled output, though it even today isn't always a given for pixel-art games, retro or otherwise lol. For 240p originals (many console games) it's easier, tho with arcade ports it can get squirrely.
An excellent collection. I have a lot of these, through physical collections on the 360. Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, Midway Arcade Origins (which weirdly, doesn't have Paperboy even though their last-gen releases did) and Namco Museum. Also have Sonic the Fighters, Daytona USA, Fighting Vipers, Virtua Fighter 2 and a few not covered here, like Soul Calibur and Afterburner Climax. I played that one at a local Sega Gameworks when it was still around, and while my chair don't move like in the arcade :), it's still a blast to play, especially on my 43".
Eagerly awaiting your sequel!
Looking forward to seeing more of this XBLA series. As someone who grew up with the 360, I really liked the Arcade and a lot of the titles exclusive to it have stuck out in my mind even if I didn't play a lot of them or only tried the demos for them. Plus, given that the only way I could get money was through things like birthdays, I would always comb through the entire store to decide on which games I'd get whenever I got a gift card for the Xbox store.
I loved the 360 days so much. Still one of my favorite systems
The best console for shmup enthusiasts of all time.
Here's some other arcade ports released on the platform worth mentioning that this video doesn't cover: Triggerheart Exelica, KOF Sky Stage, Raystorm HD, and Cave's Guwange.
The Simpsons Arcade was delisted not just because of licencing, but it was also because Konami wanted the arcade fighter Skullgirls delisted entirely because of a falling out between them and Reverge Labs, who would later be Lab Zero Games before imploding due to the sexual allegations against Mike Z, one of the people who worked on Skullgirls alongside Alex Ahad.
They ruined it for everyone typical.......
Lab Zero technically has a successor called Future Club now, most of the staff are former Lab Zero employees that left after the allegations against Mike Z. Future Club still continues to do updates and support for Skullgirls to this day
Konami are truly evil people. A once great company drowned in greed. I will never forget Metal Gear Survive or the inferior Silent Hill HD Collection where they pulled an Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut on it.
@@chrisfarleyshrek4347 And now Sonic Origins is hot garbage
So a broke B opened her mouth and claimed assault ruined a man's life? What else is new?
I got some SNK Arcade Archives on my Series X and instantly remembered the days of these ports during the 360 era. What a throwback!
Daytona USA and other Sega arcade racing games are my favorites. I really wish Sega wakes up and port them to modern consoles and PC in a proper way, instead of us fans having to resort to emulation, which is wonky at times.
Daytona USA is on xbox one/Series though in widescreen 1080p60 through back compat. But I get what you say.
Frogger has a weird glitch where sometimes when you press to hop your character only hops halfway and so you can get run over by cars in both lanes. If you're on the log that means you fall between them into the water remember he can't swim.
Great video! I never see the line up of wide game selection get mentioned all too much here on TH-cam, so I can't wait to see the other two videos when they come out!
I think the 2nd controller option is available in Robotron so that you can use 2 fightsticks together to emulate the twin stick gameplay
Great video as always! I grabbed some of the Sega Model 2 releases last year just in case they end up taking them down and they are great! Since then I've migrated more to using my laptop as my retro game hub and have all the Model 2 and 3 games there.
I think the Earthworm Jim HD release is a pretty interesting one as well as the Mortal Kombat Kollection as I don't think they've officially released the older MK games since then.
Either way, great stuff!
Framerater, I love your content. It was part of the reason I got into retro gaming. Thank you!
Didn't know about many of these! It'll be a sad day whenever XBLA is truly shuttered on the 360.
Great vid! One super noteworthy thing about Sonic the Fighters HD is that it has 3 extra characters compared to previous releases. Metal Sonic and Dr. Robotnik are now playable in multiplayer and the unfinished cut character, Honey, was finished and added for play in all modes.
I would like for you to take a look at the Delisted... hub? Game Room, on 360. It mainly had atari games, but it basically allowed you to take the games you bought through it, and place them in your own personal arcade. Highscores were uploaded and all kinds of fun stuff. I remember having fun with that when I was younger.
I'm really excited to check that out, I've only heard of it recently. I was looking for a way to play Atari 2600 games on my 360, since there's no dedicated emulator for it.
Great video , I'm so glad TH-cam recommended you to me !!
I knew about the Konami arcade ports. I still play them today on my Xbox One, though I don't own all of them. I think they are the definitive way to play those arcade games because the enhanced graphics really improve the games.
You can play Simpsons on Xbox one? I have it on my 360 but it never transferred to my Xbox one.
I recently got a 2 player fightstick & emulator and The Simpsons arcade game is by far my gf and my favorite game to play together. such a classic and so easy to pick up and play so matter who you are but you quickly see yourself progress and get farther and farther with less and less credits. there’s definitely a scene for arcade emulation but i feel like it deserves so much more shine with the amazing technology we have to run it now and how well these games hold up after all this time
The fact you started with the version of dig dug I grew up with and what got me into arcade and retro games in the first place already has me watching
15:00 - "Rebel Taxi's pretty cool"
I was looking at my phone when he said that and it caught me offguard and I did a stupid laugh. Great humor as always.
Didnt know you could still get daytona USA! Recently got an xbox one so this is amazing
You should do a video about the 3DS eShop before it closes. I would love to hear thought on what's worth getting.
Good to have you back ♥️
A solid introduction. I would have included newer arcade titles like Afterburner Climax since they're rare in the wild, or faithful but dramatically enhanced arcade ports like King of Fighters UM...
And I'm curious about that Raiden collection.
But you never made any claims to be covering everything. I'm not sure how many videos it would even take to cover everything.
I have plans to cover After Burner Climax in the followup! 🙂
The background for TMNT is actually part of the promo art made for the 2007 movie. I own a crappy platformer tie-in for PC that came bundled with a magasine and I strongly remember these images with the tribal patterns being used in-game and possibly during installation.
Another masterpiece video! Kinda nice and funny to see when you hear Serious Sam soundtrack in these types of videos, lol.
Some Arcade games i’d like to include which were removed are Ultimate MK3, Marvel Vs Capcom Origins, MvC2 and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure HD.
To this day there is still no way to legitimately play them on modern consoles.
All of my favorite game i still have on my 360 !!!
15:20 "Rebel Taxi is pretty cool"
yeah he makes some good videos on TH-cam
I refuse to retire my 360 because of all of the great games I have installed on it, some of which you simply can't get any more. Mostly some of the games from the indi marketplace that doesn't exist in any way any more, I always tried to find the good ones in a sea of trash and I managed to find a decent collection of good obscure games on there. Other than that I do have the original version of Scott Pilgrim which is slightly less special now that it's been re-released but I still think it's cool that I have the original. Also those ports of Doom and Doom 2 that were replaced with the modern ports we have today.
Was not expecting the Rebel Taxi shoutout.
Wait.....The Simpsons Arcade and XMEN arcade was released on XBLA??!!! How did I miss that???
I got the TNMT arcade game. So I was aware of Konami's offerings to some degree. I clearly don't recall them releasing those titles! I would of been all over those!
And now I can't buy them because they're delisted and not available in any modern compilations.... BUMMER!
Having played all the namco, midway, and williams games you listed pre 2012, I don't think the 99 lives thing is something that came with the original download of the games. I think that might be a feature added with homebrew.
Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the second video. I'm a big fan of the Xbox 360 and its wealth of arcade ports are a big reason why.
WOOOO YEAH BABY THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR
Oh man, I have fond memories of Switchball and especially Marble Blast Ultra.
Relived that I bought all X-MEN arcade, TMNT1989, Simpsons, and Contra back when they released. I also have Double Dragon arcade that was de-listed long before any of these.
I like how serious Sam 2 music fits to anything, but ss itself
As one of the 2 time pilot fans I humbly accept your apology
Best video idea, this is exactly what I needed!
So sad that a lot of these have been unlisted. I've recently been playing Asteroids on PS1 that's been a lot of fun. The crazy graphical effects on the 360 with Evolved make me happy as a fan of the Geometry Wars series. Lots of good stuff here!
I still remember the day castle crashers came out on xbla...I skipped school that day to play online with friend's lmao
looks intresting lots of favorite games here
You can still kill the pterodactyls in later revisions of Joust, but it's extremely difficult, requiring a pixel-perfect collision with the mouth. The bug in the original release was that you could stand on the middle platform and pterodactyls would fly straight into your lance, allowing players to farm unlimited points (and lives) if the last remaining normal enemy had been captured by a lava troll.
Haha that Time Pilot comment made me laugh given I play that one a lot. Had a Konami Arcade Collection for the GBA, played that one often. When I saw it available on Switch on Arcade Archives I got it.
5:16 EARLY CHILDHOOD!?
shout-out to capcom arcade cabinet! ever since the next generation of systems afterward launched, I'd really been hoping capcom would revisit the concept with a new collection. thankfully since then they've given us two jam-packed Arcade Stadium releases which I'm pretty sure covers about everything originally included in CAC plus several more games like some choice cuts from the darkstalkers series!
"TMNT 98"
I know what you meant but I still gotta mess with you. Great video as always.
Oops, yeah that's my bad.
that homer pic is terrifying also for reference the xbox 360 marketplace is still online via a computer browser unlike the ps3 store.
LMAO now I know that Framerater watches Rebel Taxi
Joust also was delisted for years and came back to the service years after.
5:16
nice
I'm one of the two hardcome fans of Time Pilot, it's cool.
After watching your vid, I really want a Digital Eclipse and Back Bone T-shirt
Thank you!
Yea I just got an ad for the “cowabunga” collection. That’s why they are delisted
I see, had no idea one could get away with that
How did you get your 360 to play delisted games? I wanna do that for my unit
18:57
🤣🤣
because kid, pinball machine were here way before video games arcade so yea, kinda love those funny moments 😅
It seems you've misunderstood. The arcade stick is a DPAD with buttons, essentially. The Pinball Arcade isn't incompatible on purpose, it doesn't work like that. I've mentioned which games the stick doesn't work for in regards to MAME machine planning, a dedicated stick setup can't play this one without a 360 controller.
I know why the Midway/Williams games are delisted because the Midway Arcade Collection had these games on there except Tron because that is a licensed game from Disney.
Yo are you gonna do anything with the new gen of yfm? Or atleast mention it? I would love to hear your opinion about it! :D
Does anyone else hear him say "Rebel Taxi" when first talking about Crazy Taxi?
Sunset Riders was my jam y’all
yo what happened to your yfm cosmic toast era video? can’t find it anywhere.
Explained in the updated video description for part one.
@@FrameRater alright, that’s a shame to be honest. one of my favorite videos you’ve made, oh well keep up the good work.
I'm glad I still have my xbox 360 since there are some games you just can't get anywhere else. Eets is a lemmings/incredible machine hybrid from the people who made Mark of the Ninja and Invisible Inc, there's a newer version out on steam but most people believe its inferior to the 360 game. Other games I know you can't get anywhere else are the updated version of Radiant Silvergun, and most thankfully, it's the only online store still selling R.U.S.E; Ubisoft's unique tactical RTS game.
Beyond that it's a good place to find really interesting indie games from 10 or so years ago. I've used it to find Monaco: What's Yours is Mine, Rock of Ages, iloMilo, The Bridge, Braid, Stacking, and Rotastic. Granted all of these can be bought elsewhere, but I likely never would have discovered them if not for the storefront.
At 18:00 From what I've heard, the Metal Slug 3 version for the original Xbox has no slow down, making it the hardest version of Metal Slug 3 because you don't get the advantage of slowdown to dodge enemy projectiles
Do you have a copy of Snoopy: Flying Ace?
I remember playing Microsoft Game Room
You missed the D+D collection from capcom. 2 classic arcade conversions. And Pinball arcade had almost 50 tables before Farsight lost the Williams licence.
I regret missing out on several delisted, but none quite so much as Double Dragon.
Happy to say I have all these delisted on my modded 360. Yes it sucks everything’s on a time limit, such is life. I’m sure emulators will take over once the hardwares gone. I’ve been playing on it more than my series X.
Audio on the Tron arcade port is pretty off and bad sounding though it plays fine. Nevermind you caught that.
360 was so cold its in my top 5
5:20 AMOGUS! YESS!!
THIS VIDEO IS LOOKIN' KINDA SUSSY!
Astropop is actually really good I highly recommend it
Have you ever played Lost Judgment? Since the studio behind it (Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios) is owned by Sega, they were able to put around 15 old sega titles such as the sonic fighting game featured in this video here, Virtua Fighter 5, and others. I believe they're just emulated roms, but I have no clue if they're changed from the original or not. If you ever get LJ (totally recommend), you should totally look out for those.
Outrun 2! I know it's gone, but needs a mention.
Next time. 😀 To be honest I didn't even know that existed until now, but I do have OutRun Online Arcade installed.
@@FrameRater Ahaha, that's what I meant, I forget the proper names, need to dig out the 360!
love this video
I still really need to get around to having a hacked Xbox 360, so I could install these delisted games
Edit: Also, I'm pretty happy that Sega still hasn't delisted Sonic The Fighters, so I bought it on Xbox 360 the other day. Legitimately one of the best ways to play it because of the added features, legitimately better than MAME in some ways
Daytona looks rly cool
The X men game has a widescreen mode that doesn't stretches the image.
If you have access to, or have a way of going through the library, you should take a look at Game Room on the 360. I think it was on PC as well, but I can't remember.
Game Room disappointed me a little, as not all of its games ran well. I've been able to loop the game Kicker (aka Shaolin's Road) in arcades so I knew right away that it didn't run as smoothly as it should have on the Xbox 360.
Hmmm...I was unaware of a TMNT arcade game that came out in '98.
