Best and Worst Video Game Ports

[FireyPaperMario]

We all know the method process of how a video game port is made (And no, games on the Wii, WiiU, & 3DS virtual console doesn't count as ports! ), so time to discuss some video game ports we think are the best & worst! Shall we?

I'll start:

Best ports in my opinion:

Spoiler: show

• Any of the 3-D AND SEGA AGES ports of beloved Sega classics (Example, 3-D Sonic 1 & 2) on the Nintendo 3DS eshop & Nintendo Switch. ^^

• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3-D, because Master Quest mode is more fun for me!

• Lego Star Wars (Game Boy Advance version)

• Street Fighter Alpha: Warrior's Dream on the Game Boy Color

• Dragon Quest/Warrior I & II on the Gameboy Color

• Tekken Advance (A port of Tekken 3) on the Gameboy Advance

• Glover on the Nintendo 64

Okay ports in my opinion:

Spoiler: show

• Donkey Kong Country on the Game Boy Color

• PAC-MAN on iOS & Android devices

• Heroes of Might and Magic on the Gameboy Color

Worst ports in my opinion:

Spoiler: show

• Chrono Trigger on the PC/Steam (After knowing how fucking bad the port is on Twitter a few moments ago!)

• Mega Man II on the Sega Master System (The character sprites looks the same as the NES version. Why not enhance the freaking graphics & sprites?!?)

• Street Fighter Alpha 2 on the Super Nintendo (Why?)

• Glover on the original PlayStation

Contra was originally for the NES. I think android sonic ports suck because you cant get rid of ads.

you know there's an "In-app Purchase" in the mobile phone & tablet ports of Sonic games to remove ads, right?

Disabling internet is the free way to do it

You cant play without internet.

Well, that sucks then

Better to play on an emulator for free,rather than paying money.

I think you're wrong. Contra was released as an arcade game first. The NES port came later.

Check my post again. I said the Super Mario Advance series are GBA ports of SNES titles (SMW & Yoshi's Island) and NES titles (SMB2 & SMB3 All Stars version).

Mega man X on iOS? Sonic 1 on GBA? Didn't know these existed. I had onic advance on gba, not the original.

[FireyPaperMario]

Sonic 1 on GBA?

There's a reason you haven't heard of these before. Mega Man X IOS feels like a licensed bootleg and Sonic GBA runs like absolute shit.

I wonder if any of y'all heard of the PC/Steam version of the beloved Square Enix Jrpg, Chrono Trigger? I heard from Twitter. And after reading some of the tweets complaining about the port, it must be the WORST port ever!

Meh, I never even liked it on the SNES too.
