    Thats a funny example.  I love DW1 on NES, and found the text/graphics differences in the GBC version to be very annoying.  Someone who hasn't played the NES version probably sees the GBC as better while I see it as worse.  Being able to bring it with me is one major reason for the AVS portable   



     





    Having owned both, I'm throwing my lot with the NES version. It is the way to play it.





    The GB port is for wussies who can't grind. 

    Indeed, and the NES versions are the ones I started with. Will always love those NES versions.



     



    You guys have convinced me to start with the NES version. I recently got a Famicom and was trying to figure out the next title to play on it.

    GBC ones were too final fantasy-ish for my liking.

    Hey those jumping mechanics are tricky!   



     
  • I'm mixed on ports. They're good when you just want to play a game, but the collector side of me doesn't feel satisfied until I have the original copy.
  • I generally play the best or most convenient version of each game. Sometimes, I'll go back and play the originals. I did that with Final Fantasy V and VI recently. I've considered playing the SNES version of Chrono Trigger, since I originally played it on DS.



    If it's a game or series I really like, I'll go all out and get the different versions.
