yes please, Ninja Gaiden Black and Dead or alive 3

Ninja Gaiden Black has already been improved via Ninja Gaiden Sigma. I'd love to see those upgraded versions of the Ninja Gaiden trilogy ported to 8th gen though.

Dead or Alive 3 though, I approve of that.

I don't think its worthwhile. Instead just add Xbox BC to X1 and perhaps make a compilation disc of notable Xbox games like Rare Replay did using emulation.

This is a better solution imo. You get the majority of the base that would be interested in this for a good price. I honestly do not understand why MS has not done original Xbox emulation. I would not replay Morrowind with achievements!

The original games didnt have enough top tier exclusives to justify that imho. I only really played like ten games on it...and those were all games I couldnt get on the PS2.

Well you could argue the NES Classic doesn't have a lot of games with wide appeal. Its basically just Mario and Zelda.

A Xbox Classic device could have a strong list of games, certainly more enjoyment and value than the NES Classic. But more people would enjoy classic Xbox games on X1.

Nintnendo had plenty. At one time Nintendo even had a monopoly on third party sports titles. Sega had to make their own. Much like Sony today, Nintendo had the best first, second and third party in quality. The Xboxes great titles couldnt be compared to the NES or even the SNES. I agree that BC should be available and I would get the scorpio to accomplish that end.

Ninja gaiden sigma has more content but it's a dumbed down version when it comes to difficulty. So no, for me it's not better version. Plus sigma is not on xbox and this is about the og xbox.

Probably because they are busy getting hundreds of 360 games on X1. Its only been like a year and they've added so much. People are still requesting many more as well.

I think when they are about done adding 360 games to the service due to publisher reasons, that's a good time to get people excited about OG Xbox BC. The appeal for 360 games is alot bigger anyway.

I think the nes classic is a good idea, but the original xbox classic will be better and awesome.

Here are my must have picks.

Halo series, Half Life 2, Project Gotham, Splinter Cell Games, Crimson Skies, Jade empire, Ninja Gaiden, Doom 3, SW old republic. Let me know what you think.

too confusing for the average joe. there's already a slim with the scorpio round the corner, lets not make things even more confusing for the casual.

I played through Sigma on Vita and it still felt pretty brutal for the average gamer.

My point was some of the OG Xbox releases are less appealing with upgraded versions on the market. That includes games like Halo 1 and 2.

For what its worth, Ninja Gaiden is still one of the best Xbox games as is.

I disagree with that assement though it would not be difficult at all to achieve. I can assure you time is nothing to do with why they have not done it.

Ah, you're looking at these games from the perspective of the late 80s and early 90s.

I'm looking at NES Classic games for what they are now. Many were never really good, we were just bored at the time.
