Data East Arcade Classics is a great compilation of games that many of us have gown up with. Some of these games I have not played in 20 years or more! And here they are in all their original arcade glory. Fun Classics Such as Secret Agent (Sly Spy) Joe & Mac Caveman Ninja, Bad Dudes, and my personal favorite, Heavy Barrel. Another good thing is that it works perfectly with the Wii game pad with the dual analog sticks, you can play the heavy Barrel with the multi direction shot perfectly! This is the first time that HB has been perfectly emulated on a home console. Even though it would go into the Ikari warriors clone category, to me it over exceeds in every category where IW falls short on. There are a few quirky games that you may have never heard of or even wanted to know about but for the most part, this is well worth the buy! It would have been nice if some other hits like Karnov or Gondamia were included but maybe we will see a vol. 2 in the near future.Read full review
ive noticed many people critized this game on reviews and let me set it staight.to understand these games you had to live in the eaRLY 80S ARCADE ERA to really appreciate or understand them. many came out in the early 80s to the mid 90s and thats what you have here.a compilation of old school games.now as far as the game itself is these games are perfectly emulated.and also a first as far as game compilations are conserned,you can unlock marquees,bezels and other art from the north american games.the only thing i didnt like was the inteface .its very bland.almost looks rushed for a compilation also the controls do have issues.its compatable with the gamecube controller.so i suggest you use that one if you have it even the wii classic controller works better.sound is great as far as emulation. if you are an old school gamer that remeber these classics buy it right now beleive me youll love it.as im a arcade classics lover this is one of my favorites. 5 stars and a job well done for emulation.Read full review

Pros: perfect versions of these classic gems. Brings back the memories! Cons: OMG the game controller precision is awful! Were these games always that bad with direction control? I can barely play Burger Time, my fav, it's so bad. I used both the wii remote and the classic controller. AWFUL, I'm so upset.
Buy a copy, not worth the over inflated price hike lately... Better off emulating
