Metroid: Zero Mission by a mile. It isn't even close, the original Metroid has little going for it anymore besides nostalgia and the fact that it is important in regards to being a first step in crafting a new genre.

You forgot the unlockable version in Metroid Prime.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #102 on:** April 24, 2010, 11:04:50 AM »

I'd vote Super Metroid (since that's pretty close to a remake) since I didn't enjoy ZM as mcuh but I hated playing the original Metroid because of the grindy energy stuff.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #103 on:** April 24, 2010, 01:18:53 PM »

This is basically 2 versions as the GBA, VC, and NES versions are the same. The original has nothing but nostalgia. The re-make is better in every possible way IMO and my favorite 2D Metroid.

Stratos · « **Reply #104 on:** April 24, 2010, 05:20:48 PM »

I still need to get ZM. My friend had it but sold it off before I could offer to buy it from him.

Ha ha, everyone picked Zero Mission. I guess this poll was unnecessary.

Halbred · « **Reply #106 on:** April 25, 2010, 01:24:13 AM »

Are we talking about Zero Mission as a remake, or the embedded port of NES Metroid? Either way, I'm going with ZM.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #107 on:** April 25, 2010, 01:27:53 AM »

Haha 19 votes for Zero Mission with no other votes for every other option.
I would imagine that Resident Evil will hopefully get a more varied response.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #108 on:** April 25, 2010, 04:08:47 AM »

So I heard that the NES Classics Metroid sold more than Zero Mission?

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #109 on:** April 25, 2010, 10:22:58 AM »

I can't speak for worldwide sales, but in the United States Classic NES Series: Metroid sold about 135K and Metroid: Zero Mission sold about about 464K.

Zero Mission is the only 2D Metroid I care for so far, so it was an easy choice. I don't think the Resident Evil question it going to be a terribly hard choice as well, given how completely the GC remake blows away every other version.

Peachylala · « **Reply #111 on:** April 25, 2010, 11:55:16 PM »

While that is correct, many people still love the camp value of the PSX/DS game (me being one of them, to be honest).

But yes, the GC version wears the other versions as slippers.

A-Ha! Wasn't expecting this one, was ya?

broodwars · « **Reply #114 on:** April 26, 2010, 12:08:37 AM »

Huh. This one's tough, but from what I've heard the Dreamcast version of RE2 is the superior version due to a lower price and higher-res graphics. I think the only thing it was missing were those EX Files the N64 version got. The N64 version gets an honorable mention for actually squeezing all that FMV and higher-res graphics on a cartridge.

Peachylala · « **Reply #115 on:** April 26, 2010, 12:11:28 AM »

Resi Evil 2 is currently on my PS3 thanks to PSN.

Why won't it let me start as Clarie though?

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #116 on:** April 26, 2010, 12:15:46 AM »

You forgot the PlayStation Network version.

I can't really vote in this one as I have never played any version of Resident Evil 2.

UncleBob · « **Reply #117 on:** April 26, 2010, 12:18:08 AM »

Actually didn't know it had a PSN release.

Through the weirdness that is the PS3's way of playing PS1 games, you have to hit the PS button and tell the PS3 that it's playing Disc 2. That should let you play as Claire.

Mop it up · « **Reply #119 on:** April 26, 2010, 12:39:40 AM »

I've never played any of them, but I voted for the Nintendo 64 version since I have it.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #120 on:** April 26, 2010, 12:53:19 AM »

Never played any RE game so I can' t really vote on this.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #121 on:** April 26, 2010, 01:48:07 AM »

Wasn't the Cube version of RE2 the Dreamcast version ported over?
I am leaning towards the N64 version at the moment.

Essentially yes, but IIRC it was originally priced $20-$30 only a couple years after the game originally released on the PS1. By comparison, wasn't Capcom charging something like $40 for the game on GameCube years after even the Dreamcast version released?

Yes. I personally boycotted all of those GC 're-releases' since I felt that they should have just given each one the remake treatment like they did the first. RE Make and Zero both sold astronomically better than the other versions in part BECAUSE they looked like modern gen games.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #124 on:** April 26, 2010, 01:54:54 PM »

That's why I never got the GCN ones, they wanted you to pay $40 for a port of 5-year old game.
