Why is this garbage on the NES classic instead of 3?

>> No.3641905

Maybe they plan to sell mini Nintendo Power

More importantly why do they have the shitty original version of Final Fantasy instead of the much better aged Dragon Warrior?

They probably didn't want to implement emulation of that mapper.

nintendo makes stupid decisions regarding the re-releases of their old games all the time

fixing the 50/60Hz problem? what for!?

getting the worst version of R-Type (TurboGrafx-16) for Virtual Console? check!

Don't they also only have like one megaman game?

Konami and Square should have asked the dudes who made the bugfixed/retranslated ROMs for their versions. CVII becomes infinitely more playable when you actually know who's bullshitting you, and FFI is better when all the spells and stats actually fucking work.

There's no reason to play any other Castlevania games when the greatest Castlevania of all time exists on the Speccy.

Ignore the other faggots in this thread.

The real reason is because of the fucking MMC5 chip. Apparently this shit's a real bitch to emulate properly, not to mention CVIII is one of the only games that actually used it.

Every emulator in the world and even most flash carts which tend to run on a fucking Dorito can emulate the MMC5 at this point.

I'm sure Nintendo could've figured it out on a fucking Linux box.

I don't know where the fuck you came from but we here at /vr/ are not allowed to hate on shit games that got covered by an e-celeb. Now apologize and post that ET is an underrated classic.

Mappers are hardware on the cartridge itself that manage memory bank swaps and occasionally other things (some MMC5 variants have a scanline counter, for example) that need to be emulated just like the console hardware components.

But these people are stupid, it's trivial to emulate the MMC5 and Nintendo already has emulation code for it for the virtual console.

More likely, there was some ancient contractual clause floating around somewhere preventing Konami from physically distributing Castlevania III.

>>3641845
Probably the same reason the Generation NEX and a shitload of other clones won't do CV3 right. I don't think Nintendo wanted to put the effort in.

>>3641996
There isn't a chance in hell that Squenix would let the NES DW games on, not without adding all the new shit (accents, name changes, overflowing puns) they've slapped on the US DQ games. FF1 isn't bad, it's just been dumped on EVERY FUCKING PLATFORM since the PS1. Why not Magic of Scherazade? Or WIllow?

Why have Pac-Man and Galaga on there either?
Those have been on damn near every platform for 20 years,
They're probably saving some stuff for the NES Classic Edition 2.

I actually doubt this. The MMC3 emulation on that thing is even wrong. They'd just fuck up MMC5 even more.
