Gamecube Q4 Retro Releases

I've picked up a few cheap titles for my cube of the old-school arcade games emulated on various platforms. Found out that a few more are coming out by the end of the year:
  • First off is a sequel, Midway Arcade Treasures 2, which includes Gauntlet 2 (a huge improvement over the original, you don't have to plug your joystick into the 3 slot if you want to play the elf. Other games that I remember are NARC, MK II & 3.
  • Another one is actually not based on any arcade game but a first-gen home platform: Intellivision Lives! It will be interesting to see the success of this game. Don't know how exciting sprite-based graphics are anymore, it took like 8 blocks to render a character back then. My folks actually did buy us one of these units back in the day. I do remember playing Snafu (like the Tron racing game), which is one of the 60 games to be ported over.
Update (9/22): MAT 2 is slated to be released on October 4th
