but that's a good thing. every good arcade game got ported.

>le quarter munch

The ports always sucked compared to the arcade originals though.

>>12061580
Shitloads of good arcade games never saw a release on consoles

No they didn't, Violent Storm, Geostorm, Mystic Warriors, Ninja Baseball Batman, Dungeon Magic, Jurassic Park, R-Type Leo, Armored Warriors, Battle Circuit, Armed Police Batrider, Alien vs Predator, Steel Gunner 1+2, X-men Arcade, Simpsons Arcade, Carrier Air Wing, Demon Front, Night Slashers, Knights of Valor, The Outfoxies, Dolphin Blue, Ocean Hunters, Golden Axe Revenge of Death Adder, ton of great arcade games were never brought home.

The best ports we got were 5th gen, it's a shame that the western branches pushed an anti 2D agenda, we could have gotten so many more games ported / brought over.

>western branches
Just say American esl. No one refers to it as the west except you faggots.

obsessed lmao

>because of their bullshit quarter munching design
no its because of your first point, they were no longer more sophisticated and advanced than home console games. You can observe the same thing happening right now with movie theaters.

>>12062192
how would you describe the non-japanese gaming industry without using the term "the west"

>>12062069
graphically yes, but arcade ports typically had more polished gameplay on consoles

>>12061578
Arcade games may have had more capable hardware than home games, but they haven't been more sophisticated since 4X games became playable at home in the 80s

As a kid in the 90s, I mostly saw arcade games as shallow and trashy compared to what I had at home.

Try reading the OP post. Quarter munching refers to modern arcade games.
