Interestingly enough I know people on both sides of this debate and they all have valid points. I do like the original and its always fun to have a port as part of a collection or standalone. ( Example Castlevania Symphony of the night with Castlevania Dracula X chronicles psp or just the GBA version of tales of phantasia) However sometimes playing an old game with revamp graphics adds goodstuff to an already awesome game or bring about feelings of nostalgia and excitement.( FF4 Ds etc)
Sometimes its the only way to get unreleased games, well who were unreleased stateside/Europe anyway.
Which one do you prefer?
