I'm a completist, so I'd want to play the original game before any direct sequel. Worth buying originals as far as I'm concerned, they're two different games.
[QUOTE="ASK_Story"]What are you talking about? The old-school games made me want to eat my controller even more! Have you even played the original Ninja Gaiden, the old Castlevania games, or Contra? What about Super R-Type? Have you played that torturous, unforgiving, game? There are no checkpoints and when you die, you have to start all over again! The only games that lasted long were the RPGs like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy. But other than that, games were only like 2-3 hours long, tough as hell, and costs more than the games cost today! It's nostalgia. That's what it really is. It's also because most of us played these when we were little kids and since it's part of our childhood, of course things will never be the same! I feel the same way. I miss the old days but I realize they're just memories. I wholeheartedly agree. There's nothing to tilt perspective like nostalgia. I feel much more playing or remembering games on the SNES, Playstation or Playstation 2, when I was in my own golden age of gaming. I do think it is mostly nostalgia.
I think it's a shame that consoles from the previous generation tend to die off so quickly once the new generation of consoles is released. I'm certainly in favor of utilizing the new technologies, and I realize that sooner or later the newest generation will overwhelm the previous one, but I think there is a larger market for previous-generation games than developers realize. I could be wrong, but just throwing it out there.
