>why play a port of a game if you can just play the arcade version at home now

We need to address this line of thinking because it's short-sighted. SOMETIMES it's better to play the arcade version but usually that's only if the system it was ported to couldn't produce a reasonable facsimile. A lot of the time the home port offers features that make it a more complete experience than the arcade game, which for some reason doesn't enter the conversation.

Although for a game on console this game should have really included more than just the two arcade courses.
