What are some other old arcade ports that were better than the originals?

Do the Double Dragon games count? They were more like remakes than ports.

Not sure if it's common opinion but I like Star Force on NES better.

Goes without saying, but Ninja Gaiden on the NES.

I still enjoyed the arcade version, too.

Idiot. The original arcade Contra is miles better. Try playing it on an actual cabinet, not MAME.

>>3615564
Idiot. The original arcade Turtles in Time is miles better. Not even close.

The Mario Bros ports they included in the Mario Advance games were better than the originals.

so good, so good. Way smoother in action, more things to happen, and 4-player multiplayer. I almost never got to play more than 2-player sadly.

The original arcade version was typical quarter munching bullshit. NES port not only rebalanced the difficulty, but pretty much did everything else better.

A shame that other arcade to NES ports of DECO games ranged in quality from watered down to decent.

Honestly the controls are much tighter in the console versions.

Double Dragon II on NES, although it's a completely different game so.

Also, arcade Contra is balls.

Lack of 4 player makes it inferior as far as I'm concerned.
