Unless you're collecting, would there be any point to owning the original games if they've been re-released in superior versions? Mortal Kombat II on 32X is the best home console port, but Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection on PS3/360 trumps it due to it being a 100% arcade perfect emulation.

And that's just one example. Like, why would you own Super Mario Bros. 1-3 on NES when the versions on Super Mario All-Stars are superior?

Mario all stars is far from superior OP you are wrong

>> No.1266709

Different or more advanced does not necessarily mean superior.

I prefer the 8-bit music and colours for SMB3, for instance. And isn't the Lost Levels a bit different on NES? Thought for sure they changed some things. I know they did on SMB1, they removed a couple glitches I actually found useful. I also don't particularly like the stupid Bowser posters found all over the castles.

the only game on All Stars that is superior to it's NES counterpart is SMB2(USA).

If you aren't collecting there isn't really any reason to own retro games. Just emulate them.

convenience (not having another system hooked up)

"Collecting" is just a euphemism for "hoarding."

The brick physics are messed up. Tons of other small differences as well:

Regardless, my point still stands:

Why would you own two versions of the exact same game?

>> No.1266938

>>1266737
Spoken like a moron with a 200 word vocabulary. Hoarding would be acquiring anything and everything. I could afford to build an extra room out of NES systems, but I only have two NES systems.

>> No.1266946

>>1266737
Hoarding is obtaining anything and everything related to what you are collecting, with no intentions of getting rid of any of it.

Collectors may part with some items in favor of others and may actually sale items in the event of a financial emergency.

The brick physics change is more subtle than "being pulled up". From memory, what happens is that instead of being pulled up, you just don't stop the jumping motion - the brick above you is pushed up as you hit it, so you have "room" to jump higher. So, all you have to do is to stop holding jump when you hit the brick.

It is a minor inconvenience at worst.

Every game or port plays a bit differently and has more or less features involved.

I enjoy collecting but for me the nostalgia is playing the genesis version of MK2, so I would buy it for that reason and to collect. I would than buy a 32x copy because I've never played it.

Dumb reasoning but collecting anything is a dumb reason haha

Well, what else are you going to play on the 32X? Fart Doom?

32x doom still has better sound than the 4-bit echo'd to hell SNES version.

oh it also has ceilings and floors too.

Luckily there's no good reason not to just play the PC version. With the possible exception of Doom 64 all the console versions are inferior, and none of them have as amazing a modding community as on PC.
