You know what would be so much more amazing than Nintendo porting all this old shit to "Virtual Console"? If they would do another production run of all the old hardware and reprint all the classics.

Sure, collectorfags would get buttmad, but imagine the awesomeness of going to the store and buying physical copies that you can play on real hardware.

Sega owns Ecco, otherwise Ed would've made Ecco 3 years ago.
The Kickstarter wasn't for a sequel, it was for a new game with an underwater setting. It failed because it was way too ambitious and expensive, last I heard they're planning to try again with a lower budget.

Don't talk about shit you don't know anything about.
It had nothing to do with the two previous games, it wasn't even made by the same people. When people say they want Ecco 3, they want a side-scroller and they want to know what the fuck happened to Ecco after the end of the Tides of Time.

I only have DS Lite, so I don't care.
Actually it just sits in a case, unused most of the time. Only use it for GB/GBC emulation, and not much else apart from a couple homebrew and a few "real" DS puzzle games.
I even have that Classic Sonic collection, but it seems to use the actual Genesis/MD screens scaled-down to DS resolution, which looks really messed-up. I think this screen's no good except for the GB/GBC stuff. Even NES stuff is iffy, because those were meant to be played on actual TV, and some sprites and text just look too small on 3-inch screen.

Ecco one is on the 3DS and it's not a VC game. Did you even read the thread?

The games are enhanced ports made by M2. They're not VC ports.

The DS didn't even have the VC so again I'm not sure why you brought it up.

Read the thread moron. It's about the 3DS and the Ecco games.

The Ecco games on the 3DS ( key word here 3.. d..s..) are NOT part of the VC.

The Ecco game on the Wii ( which has nothing to do with this thread... ) is on the VC.

So claiming these games on the 3DS is on the VC is wrong. They're not. They're 3 D classics.

Nope, that was my only post in the thread. Also I didn't buy the DS, it was actually a Xmas present, and that was years before the 3DS existed (or even the DSi for that matter). Quite frankly I think even the larger 3DS screen is too small to comfortably play "regular" console games that would normally be running on a 13-inch TV or bigger. These handheld games need to be specifically designed for the hardware in order to be comfortable. That's why GB/GBC stuff works well (and Game Gear as well) but other non-portable stuff is iffy.

The SMS->GG ports were actually done with care, and they made the sprites and text bigger. Compare those two systems' roms for Sonic 1 and Dragon Crystal, and you'll notice the differences immediately.

And mind you, SMS already has a fairly low-resolution screen that scales better on DS than later systems with higher resolution like Genesis/MD and SNES. So quite frankly, the Classic Sonic collection felt very chintzy and unprofessional, because they pretty much just scaled the Genesis screens to DS resoution and said "fuck it, good enough - let's ship this crap".

Not him, but most of the SNES ports on GBA were kind of shitty, if only because of the much lower quality of the sound chip in the device. Tales of Phantasia is probably the best of them.

The Sega Smash Pack that has Ecco/Golden Axe/Spinball on it is especially bad. Ecco the Dolphin only has like 3 music tracks and they all sound terrible.

GBA had some amazing games, but they weren't generally the ports. Either way this isn't the place to talk about them.
