Some Chinese guy managed to get text extraction and (for Chinese at least) inserted into these ports, but hasn't been seen in months

Super Mario Advance would be the definitive version of SMB2/Doki Doki Panic, if only they hadn't shoved those awful voice samples into the game.  You have to play at low volume or mute because they're so grating.

I dropped the disc right into the disc drive, and I dropped my children right into Amy's womb.

>Otherwise great ports/remakes ruined by one small thing 
To me it was Metroid: Zero Mission
Great game and great improvements over the original, but honestly i didn't like some of the redrawn backgrounds.
For instance, look at the pics related,  the first one looks darker and closed giving a more claustrophobic feeling, while the Zero Mission version is too colorful (why green, anyway?) and looks way too 'open' with all those holes and openings, losing that oppressive feeling that the both the original and especially Super had.
Apart from that minor complaint, great game.

Zero Mission is a trash remake that completely misses the point of the original game with its asinine hand-holding.  There's far from one thing wrong with it.

>>268724
>the point of the original game
Retarded backtracking for "fun"?

Then this means the NES version is a shit port, since passwords are gay.

>>269884
I played through Castlevania 2 and Faxanadu on NES. The passwords weren't any problem for me. I just wrote them on a piece of paper, that's it. The battery shit is ok until it breaks, and it also costs more. Fuck that, just gimme passwords instead. Nowadays it doesn't even matter if you're using emulator (save states).

Sure, but that anon was arguing about "the point of the original game".
>The passwords weren't any problem for me. I just wrote them on a piece of paper, that's it.
They were for me if i was playing at night in the dark, and i had to turn the lights on and grab a piece of paper and a pen just to take note of that shit.

If you had a NES, then you lived in a country where flashlights were common. :)

The 3DS port of this game is pretty good up until you get to the Metal Sonic boss fight. The game slows down so much that it becomes nearly unplayable. Special stages in this port also have this problem but it not as extreme.

>Woohoo! Just what I needed!

>>268708
Nintendo probably thought that by adding voice samples, those old games would have left the impression of being more modern or advanced (no pun intended) than they actually were.
>>268698 (OP) 
>Ports/remakes that have many great improvements and additions and would undoubtedly be the definitive version of the game, but are ruined by one small thing.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma + on the Vita was close to being a great port:
>Restored blood and gore from the 360 version
>All the extra chapters with the playable titty ninjas
>challenge mode that could be played with a real or a cpu partner
>extra costumes
But:
<dynamic resolution that looks like shit when decreases.
<severe slowdowns when lots of enemies appear on screes.
I still enjoyed it, but still.

dude the NES is THE thirdworlder console, more so than the PS2.

>>269173
>Bad?
Yes. It's an adventure game, orienting yourself is supposed to be the entire challenge.

>Save states instead of long pass words to take note of
Wait, you need to use passwords on the U.S. version? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>268698 (OP) 
I think the more egregious thing about Super Mario Brothers DX was how the physics were all completely changed. Even if the resolution was boosted, the game is fucking unplayable because Mario controls like a fucking Chinese water ring toy.

>while the Zero Mission version is too colorful
Japanese impression of american comic book art. Originally even her sprite was more cartoony (and proportionally close to the original).
>(why green, anyway?)
It has to display on a GBA screen. Any GBA game displayed in raw colors is wrong.

Was it challenging?
Maybe
Was it fun?
As much as watching paint dry.
