The Konami ones, perhaps, though if you want to play them on 360 it's your option to get them physically. The Capcom one is mixed - some are original games, some are remastered versions of older games. You can't get the same exact thing from older physical copies.

Similarly, Qubed has, at least, HD/widescreen tuned versions of the games.

There are quite a lot of other emulated or ported titles on XBLA/PSN that don't have any option to buy them physically though, which is why I figured they warranted a mention.

I think the "other regions got a physical release" thing has been at least one thread before.

What about SNES games like Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 that you had to "download" into a blank cart and then had a "real" retail release? Do they count?

They are all worth mentioning. Truthfully, I do not know a lot about the 360 so keep bringing the suggestions.

As for the bringing physical releases to older digital only Snes games is fine. I know repros exist for damn near everything so I am looking for official releases mainly.

Good call on Retro City will add to list.

Keep the suggestions coming though, seems I will be buying some new 360 games LOL. Thanks for all the post guy this is a tremendous help to me and I hope it helps others!

Limbo a download for the PC and 360, both versions are also now available as a game Disc as well. I posted a seperate Thread on it, anyone else buy the PC Limited Edition Disc? It has a full install and is DRM free. :D

Suggest an Alphabetized list of all the Games with systems updated in the OP. If you Boldface it in a Quote Box it will stand out in the OP.

Its great, but I don't know how active the game would be at this point. Its not very good if its just you and some bots.

Tokyo Jungle also has a stand alone release in Japan. Infact, the physical release launched at the same time as the digital.

As for a game that did transition to physical:

Image
Released in 2009, 1 year after its digital launch and only in PAL land.

Image
Release in 2009 as well. But only in Asia, specifically the Hong Kong region.

Image
Another asian release, and another 2009 release.
