If you had worked at NEC/Hudson or T.T.I. back in the day...
« on: January 30, 2012, 04:22:58 AM »
What 10 PC-Engine ports would you have suggested be brought over to the U.S. and Europe?

I think these would have been a good start...

1. Double Dragon II
2. Heavy Unit
3. Operation Wolf
4. Outrun
5. Dracula X: Chi No Rondo
6. SF II: Dash
7. Final Soldier
8. Kazi Kuri: Ninja Action
9: Die Hard
10: Altered Beast

I know that some of these came later but, remember, we're just fantasizing here so, there's no need to be 100% accurate about release dates unless of course you have a time machine and are planning on taking a trip to the past to warn NEC and Hudson Soft about what all is going to happen.

Spriggan
Star Parodier
Final Soldier
Dracula X
Ys 4
Kyukuhaspoaslkhjsd Tiger
After Burner II
River City Ransom
Double Dragon II
Street Fighter II


I came awfully close to putting After Burner II in my list as well and then, changed it to Outrun at the last minute.

EDIT: A double quote? How did I manage to do that? Well, it's fixed now.

Mortal Kombat
The sequel to Splatter House should be called Circle Jerk.

Mortal Kombat

Hudson was offered an exclusive on Mortal Kombat, but they declined because "americans are tired of fighting games"... ](*,)
The Turbo was Dual Core when Dual Core wasn't cool . . .

Mortal Kombat

+1, just because it would've been the most interesting scenario.

From a commercial standpoint, Dracula X and Street Fighter II CE would be the best choices.

Snatcher might also have worked with reasonable marketing (not like the SegaCD release)

I would personally also like the rest of the Cosmic Fantasy Series.

Also, more good sports game could have helped the duo compete with the Genesis and SNES... a deal with EA would have been nice... John Madden Duo Football was actually a pretty good port, but too little too late... getting an NHL game would be a good thing...

Releasing a duo that had the arcade card built in along with super grafx compatibility. Would have been awesome! Then again when the Turbo was relevant here in the U.S I was only a wee lad of 10 years old. :P
