zanthor said: In some way, shape or form, every new game contains elements of past games. This is true of music, movies, fashion and games is certainly no exception. And if a game has a good formula that is fun every time you try it (eg, Zelda), then why should you get rid of it and never use it again just for the sake of having a "new idea". I understand there must be progress, but I disagree with doing away with something just for the sake of it, especially if it was a theme that was well loved and successful.

Perhaps I'm just getting old

But ports? really, porting something from one console to another is really just a slack way of building up the game library of the new console. If they are gonna take an idea across, at least build on it or jazz it up.
