>can we X?

No. Go back to cuckoldchan and take your vernacular with you, good sir!

and you go back to somethingawful nigger

Not too long ago there was a thread on halfchan /vr/ about ports like this but now I can't find it. Apparently the GBC had a lot of them.

I don't know if you'd call that a port. That's just a different game.

The story I'm heard about the GBC HP games was that the consoles HP teams got micromanaged by the higher ups while the team working on the GBC were just ignored by them and basically did there own thing.

Then again EA cancelled a HP NDS pitches that actually sounded innovative.

>2nd pitch had touch screen or voice controls for spells

>PS2 ported assets

The GBC Harry Potter game isn't a port, you moron. Ports are the SAME EXACT GAME made for a different system. Just because a game has the same name as another game on a different system doesn't mean the game is a port.

>>15330838

Exactly

>>15330916

How much did you pay for that?

The US version of Magical Chase on TG16 actually ran at a higher resolution for whatever reason. It's rare as all fuck because it only came out at the ass end of the console's dismal life span and only through some mail in contest.

Rolling.

Holy fuck comparing this to what we got is infuriating

especially I played order of the phoenix on the DS and it was absolute trash why they hell they didn't go for the pitch with actual gameplay is beyond me my guess is jews + cronyism

I also managed to get almost all of the chests in the trading card club in GBC CoS back in the day which was a nice little bonus for replaying the game

Daikatana GBC is actually a reasonablly good game.

Also got a decensor patch a while back, if memory serves.

>>15330578

Harry Potter's plot is shit, and there are better (japanese) RPGs with better mechanics.

Going back a ways, Bionic Commando for NES was a massive improvement over the arcade original. Strider was a lesser product, but tried to go the route of a story-based action adventure with some RPG elements. It stuck pretty closely to the manga, which is impressive.

>>15331895

Yeah, that cunt Rowling stole the whole concept of a scarred and orphaned boy with dark hair and glasses who is told by a great wizard, that he is a wizard, from Niel Gay-Man's Books of Magic. That fucking cuckold said that Rowling deserved the character more than he did. Also most JRPGs are forgettable garbage. Using the best as an example of the rest is some SJW-type behavior. Know that most games in any genre are garbage, and use specific titles when comparing games.

I heard its rare cause some french faggot hoarded all the copies off of ebay.

You mean like how there's an entirely different Ninja Gaiden on the Master System and only a retarded jackass would call it a port?

I wanna point out that the guy who did the soundtrack for OP's game also did the soundtracks for Elder Scrolls

Daikatana for GBC is basically a Zelda clone. And a ok one at that if you ask me.

>>15330642

>Apparently the GBC had a lot of them.

The GBC is hidden gems central.

The super nintendo port of sparkster was pretty good

>>15332532

Big Jowl Jesus pls go.

Emulating it right now. The faq I am using with the game is laughably bad, he just doesnt explain concepts as they come up and when a minigame popped it just says to read the instructions.

>>15331429

It's been floating around for awhile you faggot.

>>15331824

A lot of the NES Wizardrys count as well because the Japanese team who ported them got a much bigger budget than the original American developers, who were all weebs by the way.

>>15331425

>Ports are the SAME EXACT GAME made for a different system. Just because a game has the same name as another game on a different system doesn't mean the game is a port.

I wish more people would get that. Shit, I believe like 0% of gaming YouTubers get that.

>>15333117

>Ports are the SAME EXACT GAME made for a different system

So what do we call Doom 64 and the PS1 port?

>>15333305

>genuinely interesting thread

I don't think you can convincingly say that about your own thread. You wanted to discuss games that were given the same name as an older game but were different games and better than the "original" though? I feel like that topic would dry up really fast.

>>15333093

Wizardry is a vastly underrated series in current times.

>>15336875

There's plenty of reasons for that, ranging from a lot of them being critically underdeveloped, having absolutely zero marketing, and coming way too late leading in them being overshadowed by competitors. 5 for example came out two years after the first Might and Magic but it looks a whole generation older, still using wireframe walls.

>>15335403

Compared to the mundane General threads we always see, this one actually makes for a good topic. Why did you bother to post if its so uninteresting to you?

Rise of the Tomb Raider on 360 should be mentioned for being a competent port/downgrade and not having the input lag found in the ps4/bone versions.

>>15333154

Doom 64 is just Doom 64. It's an entirely new game. PSX Doom is a port with some changes, but still the exact same levels, graphics and gameplay. It's not like Doom turned into a turn-based RPG on PSX.

>>15331824

Until the PS3/360 era it was common for the DOS/Windows versions of games to be completely different games than the ones people actually wanted to play, but they were sold under the same name so kids who didn't know any better thought they bought Spider-Man 2, then they got home and wondered what everyone was talking about since the game they got was shit. This is why it's notable in cases like OP wants to talk about, when the different game marketed as if it's a port is actually good.

Just having the same name doesn't make it the same game. By that logic, Sonic '06 is a port of Sonic the Hedgehog 1. Sonic 1 is actually a good example, since the Master System/Game Gear version released at almost the same time is actually a totally different game. They did the same with Sonic 2 as well. Both of these games are actually very good, even if I wouldn't say they're as good as the originals. The MS/GG versions of Spinball and Mean Bean Machine, however, are ports. And they suck.

A better example is Ninja Gaiden. Like Sonic, Ninja Gaiden had a Master System game with the same name that was actually a sequel. But the NES version, with the same name as the arcade version, is not a sequel and was ostensibly made to just be the home version of the same game, but has totally different gameplay, and is widely considered a classic, whereas nobody really cares about the arcade game anymore. It was the NES version that got sequels.

During the pre-WindowsX days a lot of PC games were just minigame collections either because the system couldn't handle scrolling as well as a console or the port was done at the last minute by some noname Europoor sweatshop that they couldn't actually slap anything together quick enough. Seriously, go hit the random button on some list of NES or SNES game list and there's a near guaranteed chance the Amiga port, if there is one, is a minigame collection.

>>15338797

But my PC Master Race friends on Steam told me that PC was always better and console games are all shit!

>>15332573

Isn't that the actual Sparkster?

>>15340039

They're two different games
