   They've done that on the Wii but it's not an arcade port, it sounds like   
   they kind of screwed it up a bit and went for a weird semi-sandbox   
   approach, or something. I think there is an unlockable   
   sort-of-arcade-ish mode, but I don't know how faithful it is. I would   
   guess not very.

   It's not as good a port graphically as it should have been, but I would   
   say it's a must-have. The only problem is with all the ways it   
   encourages you to replay, I played it so much I can barely stand the   
   sight of it now. :-)
