Look at this thread title. Go ahead, it won't hurt you. See what it says? "Your Nintendo dream list". Huh, I bet you're wondering what that means. Take a look at the first post. Hmm. It says that the thread is about posting a list of games that you'd like to see made,a kind of dream list. Fancy that! So basically what that means is that you're supposed to list games that you would like to see made, no matter how unlikely it is that it'll come true.
Wow, that certainly changes things, doesn't it? Really makes you look like the biggest jackass in the world for your past few pages of posts, eh? Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm thinking right about now.
Nope. I wouldn't want Nintendo wasting their resources (even in dreamland) on identical copies of old games when new ones or remade ones that are improved are a much, much better idea.

You have no sense of nostalgia... do you like to play old games regardless of their graphics, or not?
Quote: I never play OOT on the N64 since I got it on GC. Why bother?
Because they are completely identical in every way... except the N64 one uses the N64 controller, which is better than the Cube one. I don't see your point here... is there actually a difference between the two? I didn't think so. And either way, as I said, the N64 controller gives a big plus for the N64 one. :)
Quote:What I don't get about your manner of thinking is why you would willingly choose an inferior version, even if the improvement doesn't add anything else.
Well they always add something else. Good or bad? Depends on the game. We'd need to get specific. But they add SOMETHING in virtually every case (unless it's a straight port in which case they well may not but that's quite different).
And I explained why in great depth! In summary, Nostalgia, liking the way it is... and liking the gameplay system as it is, when you dislike the changes they make to a game when they make a sequel or remake it...

My case isn't that the older one is always better... I didn't say that! I said I take it in a case-by-case basis... and, it seems more often than not, the original is the better one... not every case though, which is why you have to do it case-by-case. But broad generalizations like yours... I absolutely disagree.
