Purely a hypothetical, but if you had an infinite supply of money and there were no licensing or development issues to get in your way, which three titles - from any era, or any platform - would you like to see re-released on Xbox Live Arcade?
I thought of this the other day and it took me a good while to narrow it down to three. I'm going to go with these...
1) Skies of Arcadia (Dreamcast) - I'm limiting my Dreamcast titles to just one, although given that the machine is easily my favourite console, I could have had all three as DC titles. Skies was a fantastic turn-based RPG that was so beautifully balanced and wonderfully realised, that I think even with the slightest lick of paint, it could hold its own today. Loved it. Shenmue would be a very close second, of course...
2) Stunt Car Racer (Amiga) - This was a boomer of a racing game back in the day. Rollercoaster-style circuits that tested the nerves beyond anything else meant that many a joystick went flying toward the window in anger when I played. Amazing.
3) Gitaroo Man (PlayStation 2) - I love me some music gaming, and Gitaroo Man was horrendously overlooked back in the day. One of the greatest soundtracks ever to grace a videogame and a really unique musical combat system came together to make a game that was memorable and an instant favourite of pretty much everyone I know who played it. I would give actual limbs to get this on XBLA.
I would love to see Speed Freaks and the original Casper game (yeah, you heard me!) make a comeback, they were both amazing games. I would have said Beyond Good & Evil as the third option, but it's already there Ain't I the luckiest thing?

I never played Speed Freaks. Might have to dig out the PSOne and see if I can find a copy...
I am not sure if this is a long shot can't remember if Sony owns the rights to these games but I would love to see the first three Spyro games come to XBLA. I have been wanting to play them again for awhile now and am having a hard time tracking them down for my PS2, having them on XBLA will make it so much easier.

Rainbow Six 3 and RS3: Black Arrow. Playing on a team meant something in those games, and since team survival mode only gave you one life per match, everyone was cautious and made smart decisions. When you died you couldn't communicate with your teammates any longer, but you could spectate. I recall really enjoying that because I could learn from other players and see their strategies. I would really love to take those games online once again.
I could get behind XBLA versions of Jet Force Gemini and Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012 as well.
Since BG&E is already there, I'm going to make my third wish Mickey's Wild Adventure. I have fond memories of a tiny Kate getting very upset at that game. So. Much. Rage.
