Yes, superior equipment doesn't mean it will play better

many ports and subsequent releases include significant patches and fixes, especially in the earlier days. soukyuugurentai for the saturn - the original has some bugs that are fixed by the saturn collection edition, which also adds english support. is the original better?

The xbox port of Silent Hill 2 adds significant content, which was backported to PS2 in a greatest hits edition. Is the original superior?

Virtua Fighter 4 released on PS4, but a greatest hits version, Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution, includes game balancing, loads of features, and a 10th anniversary edition of Virtua Fighter. Is the original better?

Speaking of Virtua Fighter, the original Saturn port was so poorly put together, so maligned by fans, that Sega put out Virtua Fighter Remix, with better textures, a faster framerate, and all around better handling. Is the original Virtua Fighter the better game?

But though you didn't say it explicitly, I guess you probably mean a game on its original console is always better than a port to a newer console. Let's talk about that, then.

The first Valis game was released on MSX. It looks like this:

Is that better than the PCE release, which looks like this?

Is this game

Better than this one?

As much as I love Riviera on the Wonderswan, and has its specific charms related to resolution and colore palette, would you say the japanese-only wonderswan original is superior to playing it on GBA or PSP in English with extra content?

Even the lovely Panzer Dragoon. Is the Saturn version

Truly superior to the PS2 version, which just increases the fidelity of the textures?

I could go on forever, but original is not always best, and quite often the original can't fully execute the developers' desired vision.

Yes the original is always better. do you want me to show you bad ports to newer consoles or to PC?
Damn I didn't even notice you were the guy that said he makes games for a living, not sure why I am even replying to you

The original is always superior no matter what
I already stated that PC ports and arcade ones dont count

I'm confused by this reasoning. So the original is always best unless it's on superior equipment?

Yes, superior equipment doesn't mean it will play better

There are hundreds, many of which are lame as hell. I suggest you collect via some other high concept.

Why would I buy something that is not the original release?
The original is always superior no matter what
I already stated that PC ports and arcade ones dont count nor games that were ported to a newer console
Bonk adventure is okay, maybe I should have added that games that were ported to older consoles is okay

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine exclusives]

I thought something like would exist already but I was wrong, I have been buying exclusive games for my NES/Famicom, and SNES/Super fami and I had the same problem looking for the same information
Well with Nintendo is easier considering Nintendo never puts their games on other consoles(with a few exceptions of course)
I will try to make a list for the PC Engine but I will focus on the Hu Cards for now, which is the ones I am interested
I hope I can share my findings here later

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / PC Engine exclusives]

Is there a list of exclusives games the consoles had during its lifetimes. by exclusive I mean games that were not arcade ports or were on other systems during the time the console was on the market
If a games was later ported to modern consoles I still count it as exclusive
