Calling it a port is an insult to the game. I seriously doubt you've played it much more than 5 minuites if you think that. Its not an expansion either... expansions actually involve playing a game a lot like the original, and DK94 is almost nothing like the original... no, its a totally new game in a different genre (puzzle, not action) that happens to share the same name.

Plus, Mario has all those cool moves he can do...

Also, the arcade levels as they are in the game aren't direct ports. They are smaller versions of the levels -- and much easier. Also, the arcade version isn't there -- you play those versions of the arcade levels in the altered versions only, and with the acrobatic moves that dramatically change the game... I just can't see any justification that begins to explain how you think the way you do about the game. Except ignorance of how the game works, which is a legitimate excuse, if true.

By your logic, Excitebike 64 is a port of NES Excitebike because it has motorcycles and the name 'Excitebike' in it.. actually, Excitebike would be a much better "port" than DK '94 because it actually has the original game in it and is in the same genre as that game... DK64, too... but DK for GB? Not in the remotest way.

Oh now that's a great comparison if I ever heard one. Yes there are a few new moves and things like back, but if you really think that DK GB is less of a port than Excitebike 64 is then you've really gone to crazy land. You can play the original Excitebike in EB64, but the new game plays nothing like the original one. The extra levels in DK GB are pretty similar to the original three. Calling it an expansion as DJ suggested would be more appropriate.

But hey, call it whatever you like. I'll call it a super-port-expansion, and you can call it a totally new game.

I knew you'd say that... which is why I said

I'm sure.

... Is that too difficult for you to understand? To make it simpler for your seemingly small brain, try replacing 'small difference' with 'extremely large difference' if you can't see the sarcasm...

Oh, you were trying to be sarcastic! OH! Ohohohoho! So clever! Perhaps I should get DJ to give you a few lessons in the proper usage of sarcasm.

Also, I didn't write off 99.99% of the games on a console (or declare them all great) or something... I just said I like arcade racing games and Gauntlet is a fun game which I'd give maybe a B+ score to... You did. All I can assume is that either you haven't played most of those GB games I listed, or you have some very strange idea of what a good game is.

I've played all of the GB games that you listed, and for the upteenth time: I liked them, but not very much. Would you like me to write an essay explaining that very simple statement to you? I could do that, really!

Uh... it WAS a huge change from Mega Man to MMX... and again from X3 to X4 when it went to PSX...

That was HUGE for you? You must have some pretty small standards if you think that adding a gun charge, a wall jump, and a slide to the same basic formula is a HUGE change. And even if that were a HUGE change, that's still a total of fifteen or so Mega Man games that are basically the same as each other and a total of six MMX games that are basically the same as each other.
