most of the sega ports on pc engine are solid, but golden axe is a fucking abomination (because it's by telenet). telenet did a mediocre job with columns as well

asmik made so many cuts to pc engine shinobi that it's a fundamentally different game as well
>black tiger stage cut
>bonus levels cut
>no sword
>no gun
>several enemies cut

yet unfortunately it's still better than the master system version because it retains the speed/intensity (and most of the music)

Mary Kate and Ashley Sweet 16: Licensed to Drive is a clarion example of how to turn a bonafide classic into an abomination. Almost unplayable (though I must admit, it does retain a bit of the original's charm).

very similar story with Bratz: Rock Angels. The original is full of charm, intuitive controls, and you really get to know and love each of the characters. But the port? Couldn't be more soulless.

The only real valid criticism I've seen is that it makes the tiles look like shit because they don't seamlessly blend together anymore

They ruin dungeons by giving away too many answers to things. In the OG you have 1 stone slab riddle per dungeon that gives you a hint on a puzzle or on a gimmick for the dungeon. It's fun to find the fragment and reveal the riddle and figure out what it means. In DX, you get a magic beak for owl statues and there are multiple per dungeon that all say different things and handhold the player by spoiling puzzle answers.
