This thread annoys me. The amount of classics from this and last gen I could list would fill up this page. There must be something wrong with your brain or something, maybe you should get that looked at. ^^b

All fans of fighters will admit the following: Street fighter 3 is better than Street Fighter 4
All fan of platformers will admit the following: Sonic 1 & 2 are better than the new Sonics.
Even your friend Grammaton admits Twilight Princess failed to meet the standards of Zelda 3 (which was also made 15 years before).
I don't think you'll find anyone who disagrees with this statement, however I also think that most people will agree that old gameshave notbeen translated on to the new generation of consoles very well.
It is not possible to get a decent sonic that is not on the mega drive and when you think about it it makes allot of sense, all sonic did was run really fast, jump on things and collect rings and we were happy with that because firstly that was a new thing and secondly the mega drive couldn't manage much more, but when new consoles come out with their new technology we expect more of our games and running really fast just doesn't cut it any more.
The first Zelda I played was Ocarina of Time and I do prefer it to the Twilight Princess, however it is only because the old Zelda format is not really good enough as modern rpg's go and while I am quite willing to accept it on an older console such as the N64, I expect better story lines, graphics and game play in a modern rpg then Zelda format can provide.
I am sure you can come up with an endless list of modern versions of classic games that are not as good as the originals; however this does not mean that all classic games are better then all new games, it simply means that the classic games have not been translation well on to modern consoles.
In my opinion if you take the best rpg/fighters/platformers on the Megadrive, SNES, N64or Playstation and then compare them to the best rpg/fighters/platformers on the PS2, PS3, Wii or Xbox 360, I think you'll find that the games on the newer consoles will be more enjoyable and more innovative then the classics.
For instance Street Fighter 3 could be considered better then Street Fighter 4, but Soul Calibre 4 is most defiantly better then Street Fighter 3.
