Title: ESRB Gives Rating to Data East Arcade Classics
Post by: Penguin_Of_Thyme on September 04, 2009, 03:31:48 AM
Majesco is bringing a collection of classic arcade games, like Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja, to Wii.
 http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=19911

 In its capacity to rate upcoming game software, the Entertainment Software Rating Board occasionally reveals upcoming games before they've been announced through traditional channels. Majesco Entertainment has not made an official announcement for Data East Arcade Classics, but a Teen rating summary from the ESRB website reveals that Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja, Burger Time, Caveman Ninja, Secret Agent, Street Slam, and Magical Drop III will be some of the classic arcade games included in the collection.    


Data East was a Japanese publisher that released a number of hit arcade games in the 1980s including Robocop, Bump 'n' Jump, and Karate Champ. Along with selling arcade cabinets, Data East was also well known for creating pinball machines. The publisher closed its doors in 2003, but G-mode, a Japanese mobile phone company, acquired a large number of their game properties. It is likely that Majesco is licensing the Data East arcade titles from G-mode for the upcoming collection.    


No release information for Data East Arcade Classics is currently known.

I call multi-platform release.  They're probably releasing it on the PS2 or PSP as well.

Why do you want these on the VC?  It will COST MORE MONEY because you have to buy the games individually.  This is a BETTER DEAL.  Though if you're only interested in one title here it might not be but if you want like three of these games then it's a vastly better buy.

Maybe retail boxes just sell more than downloadable games? More people shop in stores than on the Wii Shop.

Because the only game I want to play is BAD DUDES.

I LOVE game compilations, even when I only want one game in the collection. It gives me the chance to try out obscure games I didn't try the first time around.

My demand for this game is slightly less frothing than Scribblenauts, so it will have to wait until after I beat that.  Sorry Nintendo!

Is Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja the same game as Bad Dudes for the NES?

In Japan, Sly Spy is known as Secret Agent, which will be in the collection.

Yes. Bad Dudes on NES was a home port of Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja.
