What arcade titles do you think are actually better in their console ports? (lemmy.world)

I've been playing a lot of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy lately and it seems like it has a number of improvements over the arcade release. I'm curious what other ports people find particularly good.

Soulcalibur on the Dreamcast wiped the floor with its arcade counterpart, which was running on slightly-enhanced Playstation 1 hardware.

    I've never been able to play a Dreamcast unfortunately. This game is certainly on my list to play though. I even bought a copy of Soul Calibur to play once I find a good price on a Dreamcast. But currently, it just sits on my shelf with no ability to play it lol.

    If you have any interest in emulation, there are very good Dreamcast emulators available like Redream and Flycast

    I dabble a bit, but I generally prefer using original hardware. Thanks for the recommendations though.

    I kinda figured, and I get that. My brother owned a Dreamcast, and I still lament that Sega didn’t manage to do better that generation because it was a sweet console. I personally thought the graphics looked better than its competitors.

    I never saw an arcade version of Soul Caliber, just Soul Edge which was on PS1 hardware. It wouldn't surprise me that the arcade version would be on the slightly bumped PS1 hardware that they used for Tekken 3 though.
