Didn't it add like a ton of stuff to the third act, a new intro, and all kinds of other stuff that had nothing to do with more capable hardware? That makes it an update in my book. Not an overhaul, but it came out later, and added stuff in a less than incidental way.

The Third Act was more interactive (but pretty much unchanged) and the new intro was just the comic that came with the game. The bonus scenes were the result of the localization process than anything else. Also, Snatcher for the Sega CD is four years ahead in date of all the other versions.

No, they added more story clarification to the 3rd act too, and I don't care if there was a comic of it, the intro was new. the Sega CD one came out 2 years later, and it had new crap added. That makes it an update. Wether or not you consider it substantial, they added things that they could have put in the Turbo CD version that they didn't, thus meaning it was more than a straight port with the benefit of better hardware.

Again, the bonuses were just (positive) side-effects of the English translation (kinda like the added difficulty levels in the English MGS1). Think of it however you want, but the game is still a port/translation of the PC Engine's "CD-ROMantic" edition.

I never said it wasn't a port, I said it was an updated port.

True, but updated because of translation.
