The Simpsons is not a real arcade exclusive not only was it ported to the 360 and PS3 in 2012 there was also a C64 and MS-DOS port in 1991 the same year it was released in arcades.  Also, it would have been ported to home consoles if Acclaim didn't have the exclusive right to make console Simpsons games at the time.

Various Legend of Zelda games, Bloodborne, and for the sake of nostalgia in the first MMO world I got lost in...the original 12 Sky.

The only Zelda games I can think of that are still 100% exclusive are A Link Between Worlds, Triforce Heroes and Age of Calamity. Every other game has been ported, remastered, remade or emulated via VC on several systems.

I do not see what the point of this comment is.  I have been playing games since the colecovision, so when these games were released you needed the console they were released on.  Pretty simple concept to understand really.

You also forgot Four Swords Adventures BTW.

EDIT: For some reason I took the topic of this thread as "what true exclusives made you buy a console".  After double checking the OP, I can see why your response is what it is.  I must have made my initial reply half asleep in bed or something lol.

The original Splatoon, how could I forget. Excellent game. Still one of my favourite final boss fights of all time.

Well, I didn't know about the C64 and MS-DOS ports either.  But I knew about the 360 and PS3 versions.  Unfortunately, both versions were delisted rather quickly and I missed out on both of them.  The same thing happened with the X-Men arcade port even though that one was available a bit longer.

I had the MS-DOS version. It was pretty clunky even with a 286 or 386 CPU, had the gameplay pared down somewhat including having part of level 3 removed, and had very sparse sound even with the best sound cards available - and I had the PC Speaker, which typically sounded like a cat orgy. I still played it quite a bit, because it was kind of hard to scrounge up quarters, or rides to the arcade.

Sadly the downside of digital-only games and why I always prefer physical.  I knew about X-men but Simpsons I was not aware of at all.  I'm pretty shocked that I missed it.  I definitely don't want to buy a Arcade 1up just to play these games.

I pretty sure that Konami will re-release both games eventually, hopefully they will re-release all the Castlevania DS games also eventually.  I used to be big on physical games, but I prefer digital now they are more convenient.
