    7 Games/Series that had unusual arcade adaptations. You could start with F-Zero and Megaman. F-Zero had an arcade cabinet that allowed you to insert your Gamecube memory card and use unlocked drivers from your console. Megaman has several arcade-style games, where it's much closer to a boss rush. They were even adapted into the recent Megaman X and Megaman Zero collections.

      A side scrolling 4 player beat-'em-up, you play one of 4 baseball-playing robots out to rescue various artefacts stolen from the Baseball Hall Of Fame.
      The baddies are giant robot baseball mitts and baseballs, the smartbombs are cheerleaders and the first end of level boss is an anthropomorphic aeroplane that you fight inside an aeroplane.
