You make no sense. None.

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.

"The extra levels in DK GB are pretty similar to the original three." that statement proves that you have not played DK '94 much, so the discussion is really pointless when you either haven't played the game for any significant amount of time or forget the basics of how it worked.

I'm sure.

I guess assuming that you would read what I said was too much, because that next sentence seemed to me to be a very clear explanation of what the difference between what I said earlier and what you said were...

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!

Well all I can say to that is to repeat that your taste in good games is bizarre.

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.

It was huge... as the series progressed things were added -- sliding, charging your shot, Rush, collecting 'money' to buy items (used in Mega Man 4 and 5 on GB as well as, I believe, 7, 8 and MM vs Bass)... then X came and changed so much -- collecting armor parts, wall climbing, different characters (in the later X games), different armors that have different powers, ducking (finally added in X5...)... I know that the basic fundamentals are the same and the extras they added just improve on that, but I love the base gameplay of Mega Man. I own 6 Mega Man games and have played a lot of more than 5 others... and still love the series and don't want it to change much.

When they try to 'innovate' Mega Man we get Legends... :( That's why I'm concerned about X7 on PS2 -- its 3d... I really hope its done well, but I don't really expect it to be the same (or as good)... which is too bad.

You don't like the gameplay of the series, obviously, so I can certainly see why you wouldn't understand.
