The problem with port overs is that they also have to appeal to the market of the casual Gamer now. It used to be Game Quality was key, now all they care about is Better graphics, and what there friends own. All this SCUM that think they know all about games, but are barely over 16 and the only game they have beaten is FF7, and that was with a gameshark (I love FF, just sick of others thinking it is the best RPG on Earth, and that is all they played).
The problem that rises is the fact that we has humans (has a species, and not even 5% of Neo Geo Fanatics i have noticed) want to have bigger and better things, and want to rid ourselves of the old. Older stuff is not apprecated like it was. I extremely out of place when one of my wifes friends asked me what "War of the Worlds" was while watching "Signs" (good talking to happened after that
). Hell, some people do not know who Buddy Holly is anymore.
I buy every port over I can find if I loved the game. Every SNK port over I own, Starting with a few of the NES titles.
In my mind, 2-d really is a lost art form, and most of you probabily feel the same way.
Recently here in the AAFEs (Army AirForce Exchange) in Germany, KOF 2000/2001 hit the $15.00. I bought it when I first saw the thing. Metal Slug 3
should be here soon.
Sorry to ramble, just a bit ticked at lack of good 2-D...
