LOL. Because you're also acting like they're the same thing when they're not. If the lack of HD is such an issue, why isn't the crappy visuals and sound of the Genesis version an issue? The entire collection is gonna be $10, so I don't really get why you're making a big deal about "buying them again", either. (You're old enough to remember playing them in the arcade where one could EASILY go through $10 in one night, on only one of these games and still not own it.)
Eh, you may not agree with him and I may not agree with him, but what the hell, that's how he feels. Not everyone's going to hold the original arcade versions as dearly as we do and be willing to pay to play them again in a completely unadulterated state. Maybe it's just his nostalgia for the Genesis, which would be pretty easy to understand. Nostalgia is a huge part of a collection like this anyway.
By the way...
There's your proper fighting game controller. That thing rules. Still the best D-pad ever made in my opinion.
Anyway, I've always longed for arcade-perfect ports/emulations outside of MAME, so I'm sure I'll be sitting here in the middle of the night waiting for it to show up on XBLA.
Yeah, I'm gathering there's going to be a age divide on this. Those old enough to play MK1 arcade will be all over this on day one without question. People who's MK experience began on consoles aren't going to get what the fuss is all about and probably pass. I get that, I just hope some of those console folks will decide to see what the fuss IS all about and give it a try. There's a reason us old dudes are so excited about it, after all.

I could not agree more. I still remember how it felt to see MKI in the arcade for the first time, and just how different it was from everything else. Nothing could compare to the life like characters of MK and the blood and gore or if all, even as tame as it seems now was so shocking. I for one can not wait to get online and play those games again against other people.

Can't tell me those drums don't sounds crisp as hell!
Maybe, but if it's just a nostalgia kick he's looking for, then he wouldn't make an issue of the HD aspect, either.
And the D-pad on that controller is cool, but the button layout SUCKS for MK, especially UMK3. And that's more what I was getting at.
They're not bad for the Genesis, but compared to the arcade, they're horrible. One of the best things about the arcade version of MKII is the music.
Don't hate on the Genesis Ghouls n Ghosts was like the best game ever
I don't hate the Genesis. It's one of the greatest systems in history, but fighting games on the 16-bit systems were horrible compared to the arcade counter-parts.

No options menu, no way to make the difficulty harder AND no way to customize MK the way you'd like, as I can on my Sega Genesis.
ONCE AGAIN, this is just MY PREFERENCE.
Please stop bashing me for it. :|
