It appears that old Dreamcast games ported over to Microsoft’s Xbox Live Arcade are pretty popular as Rez  HD and Ikaruga sold the most units in a three-day span and now hold the prestigious title as the best XBLA launches ever, with 25,000 and 22,500 units sold, respectively.

Even more impressive is the next closest game is Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 1 with 16,500 units sold.

So now that we know gamers will happily eat up their favorite Dreamcast games, what should we see next?

Cosmic Smash or Napple Tale would be pretty sweet

What about the Shinobi series on XBLA ?
But the DC’s game i would like to see on XBLA, is definitely Crazy Taxi. It’s one of the best Arcade games ever made and it’s FUN.

Soul Calibur from Dreamcast is coming to XBLA too.

I personally would like to see a Puyo Puyo game in XBLA, with online play, of course.

I wanted ChuChu Rocket on the XBLA as well, but I think it would be better suited for WiiWare, what with the pointer and all.

I’d love to see Radiant Silvergun on there, though.
