I actually don't mind that. I still prefer the older style than when FFVII came out with the RPG now basically leading you to where they wanted you to go the entire game. Zelda 3/4/5 are highlights to how I still want to play an RPG.

Yes, but as far as being good suggestions for NES games, I'd say they stlll rate pretty high. I used to play through DW1 and Zelda every now and then just to kill a Saturday afternoon, but the 360 owns my weekends now.

Yeah, the version that comes in one of the Taito Legends discs is way better.

Overall, the two Taito Legends discs represent what you wanted your NES arcade ports to look like back in the 1980s.

They were good enough in the 80's, IMO.

I'm actually extremely happy the NES couldn't do a 1:1 port with a lot of games. We got a lot of interesting/better stuff because of that.

True dat.

Strider NES > Strider arcade
Rygar NES > Rygar arcade
Astynax NES > Astynax arcade
Ninja Gaiden NES > Ninja Gaiden arcade

...etc.

Exactly. Same for Castlevania > Haunted Castle and Contra > Contra, IMO.

(which I realize are covered by etc. :D)




Wait, Haunted Castle came second? LOL Konami, what were you thinking?

Strider and Astyanax are way better in the arcade.

Debatable.
