a couple arguments - Ninja Gaiden - this is arguable - the arcade Ninja Gaiden is completely different and more of a beat em up but still fun.

I thought that the arcade TMNT was better than SNES although close

I would say Contra (like you), Super Mario Brothers, Bionic Commando, Punch Out. There is an argument that the NES Double Dragon was superior to the arcade version, although I can see both sides here (the GBA Double Dragon version was the best of all IMO)

SNES: The Ninja Warriors (had three characters instead of one) (love this game by the way, its awesome)

Genesis - MERCS (love this game, an all time fav), Golden Axe were better on the Console

Dreamcast - Soul Caliber was supposedly better on the Console, but i never played the arcade version

SMB was almost exactly the same except a few powerups/enemies were different.

Good call on Bionic Commando and Punch Out.

a pizza place by my house had the ninja garden arcade

it's so different it almost doesn't count but the NES is better, arcade is a repetitive button masher

Rygar is another good one from the same company where the NES game is a lot deeper and replayable
