Lindbergh is Sega's latest arcade board which looks like this (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b4/Sega%27s_Lindbergh_2.jpg) and is what the most recent Sega arcade games are running on.

The games using it are:

Initial D Arcade Stage 4 (http://initiald.sega.jp/)
House of the Dead 4 (http://hod4.sega.jp/) (and HotD 4 Special)
Virtua Fighter 5 (http://www.virtuafighter.jp/)
Afterburner Climax (http://sega-afterburner.com/)
Virtua Tennis 3 (http://powersmash3.sega.jp/)
Ami-Gyo (http://ami-gyo.sega.jp/)
Psy-Phi
Let's Go Jungle! (http://www.segaarcade.com/video/letsgojungle.aspx)
Sega Network Casino Club
Outrun 2 SP SDX (http://outrun.jp/or2sp/index.html)
Dynamite Deka EX (http://insomnia.ac/japan/dynamite_deka_ex/)

It's nothing especially new as IIRC it was first revealed at E3 05 and a few of those games have been in arcades for a while but, since the games will likely be receiving PS3 and/or 360 ports in the future (and they're all Sega, proving they still make some of the very best games), I'm curious as to what games people want to see on what console, what you've played, what you want to play.

I've played Virtua Tennis 3 and House of the Dead 4. Loved both as expected as I've loved all previous entries in the series. House of the Dead 4 though is especially gorgeous and I like the new "shake gun to reload/fight of enemy" feature.

As for what I want to play, Initial D Stage 4 is at the top of my list. I would be highly anticipating it even if it was just another slight update, but the fact that it has been completely reworked in terms of graphics and handling is making me look forward to it even more.

I pretty much want to play everything on that list except the Casino game and Ami-Gyo. As for console, Sega have said that it would be easier to port Lindbergh stuff to the PS3 and I'd be happy if these were all coming to the PS3. Although most of them will be multiformat and for some reason (maybe it's something I've heard previously), Afterburner Climax seems like a 360 title.
Also, HotD 4 needs to come with a (preferably wireless) motion sensing lightgun like the arcade one.

So anyway, anyone else have any thoughts?

I've really only played House of the Dead 4 - what a credit eater that game was. :tired: I enjoyed it, but couldn't help but to feel that something was just missing. The machine gun mechanic was nice, but for some reason, it just made it feel like it was easier to die because of it. Ah well, shooting zombies never get old! :D

Haven't been able to play even a single one of these... well, I've sorta played Outrun 2 SDX since the PC version of Outrun 2 SP is arcade perfect. I can't wait to see stuff like VF5 and Afterburner Climax on consoles though.
