Another problem with every title you mentioned is that they can generally only be played on a single console. We've been trying to go with titles that are mostly cross-platform, so more than a select group have access to the game.

Jet Set Radio has already been done and Toejam and Earl is available on Mega Drive, PS2, PSP and Wii iirc. I concede the point with Pikmin though.

Hey chief, I said we'd been trying. Sometimes we do go with singular titles, but it's not nearly as common. I wasn't aware Toejam and Earl was on so many systems. Did it see release in a couple of collections and the Virtual Console?

yes, and so has Castlevania, and Punch-Out! BUT since then we sort of implemented the goal of attempting to keep the chosen games ones available on multiple consoles (by multiple companies, be it Ninty, Sega, Sony, whatever) to create a more inviting gaming club to our ever-growing community which has also grown in diversity and interest of consoles.

I dont think Toejam & Earl was on PS2 and PSP. But could be wrong?

I know it was on VC, and I think it was on the sega collection on PSP and PS2. Also, i didn't mean to come off as arsey (if i have). Still, I am looking forward to seeing what games we have for next year :)

EDIT: Just checked and I was wrong anyhow :oops:

BTW, nobody said that games suggested by forum members right here wouldn't be taken into consideration. If you have some weird-ass game that doesn't fit a certain genre, let everyone know and say "um it's like a Fighting game with Race Cars that look like Puzzle Pieces that you have to grow like a Farm Simulator" and then everyone will know it could fit in multiple genres. :wink:

Eh, don't worry about it. If there's a genre it fits in that participants vote on, we'll at least debate it. I've tried in the past to get in a few games that don't entirely fit the program's bill of old classics. It speaks a certain level of quality that some of my suggestions don't always have.

Like ClayFighter.

Word.

In truth, I have been trying to get that in as a winter-themed game for the last two years...

Just be glad I haven't pushed for Primal Rage yet.
