Wikipedia lists five games in the series. NES and SNES are the third and fourth. Nowhere are they described as ports.

It’s a sequel featuring a mix of old and new characters, but it’s still a sequel. That’s like saying Street Fighter IV isn’t a sequel because it has SF2’s roster in it.

Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! isn’t a port, it’s a sequel.

On a casual level, I prefer Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO over the arcade version. I totally get why the competitive community stuck with the arcade, but at least casually I’d rather not deal with roll canceling.

Even unprompted, it’s usually better to talk about the things you like rather than the things you don’t.

Is there a reason you can’t just patch it yourself?

The key is to be as diplomatic as possible in just saying it’s not really your thing and then changing the subject. Especially when someone’s trying to bond by sharing their interests, the worst thing you can do is insult the things they like. If you have to, avoid any direct criticism, just make it clear that it’s your own subjective taste.

And I say this as someone who has literally built a brand on being a hater for some specific hot-buttons of mine, and even lost friendships over it. In the right setting there can be a time and place for hating, but it’s not when someone else is trying to talk about what they like. Just change the subject if you can’t say anything nice.

They should just do Muppet remakes of everything instead.

I almost don’t feel like ‘good’ is the appropriate type of adjective to use for a show like this. It’s utterly horrific, but I mean that as a compliment.

The DS version of Ni no Kuni included a physical spellbook you’re meant to consult. JP-only, but the fantranslation made it into a PDF.

If you think Light’s intentions were ever good, I think you kinda missed the point of the show. His very first targets were only petty criminals, the fact that he didn’t set his sights on real monsters showed that he always had a warped sense of justice even from the beginning.

I don’t think anything like this exists for modern/native games, but RetroAchievements supports many different emulators.

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo. The name is a takeoff on Super Street Fighter II Turbo, but there were no other Puzzle Fighter versions.

People turn to escapism because they are struggling to make connections in the outside world, not the other way around.

They still haven’t shut down their dependence on fossil fuels, so

Perhaps, but if so it’s the most harmless kind of cash grab. Getting to see a beloved classic in the theater is nice, especially if I didn’t get to see it back in the day. I’ve been looking forward to the Ghibli reruns. They get some cash to grab, I get to see Princess Mononoke on IMAX, sounds fair to me.

A dead guy is talking to a dead guy.

May also be poking fun at how a while after he died of Covid, his account started tweeting all kinds of GOP propaganda, including downplaying Covid.

GB launched with Wario Land 3, but not 1 or 2.

Still waiting for the SNES version of Dr. Mario.
