If that, it a little of both in a way. It should be looked at as the Directors Cut.
If SoA means something else, then please be specific. =D

) I personally can't tell any differences graphically, as I always thought the DC version looked awesome.As for it being exclusive, the DC isn't around anymore and Sega aborted the PS2 version in favor of the GCN, so in theory it is exclusive, as this version of Skies of Arcadia is not available anywhere but on the GCN.

Yea Skies of Arcadia. If it's a port for GC then it's not exclusive. But if it's a remake it is. So which is it? Remake or port?
Nitsu pretty much summed it up- it's a director's cut, basically. It's not a full blown remake, but it has substantial additions that put it beyond being just a port.

but it wasn't, it was ported with some extra features thrown in.

A remake would be Metroid Zero where it's basically a different game. Ditto Final Fantasy 1 & 2 in the "Origins" collection.

The problem is, it isn't exclusive.

Not convinced? Then I challenge you to go to EBgames and buy a NEW dreamcast version os Skies off the shelf. You can't. Because Sega has killed it. Only the Cube still has this game.

The Dreamcast version is dead. No longer available for purchase.
So *for all practical purposes* the Skies games is only available for the Cube. That was all that I was saying. It's not a difficult concept to wrap your brain around.

Quoteblol Some of us get a choice too. Like whether Largo Winch is a hilarious pile of garbage or worth $20. But which system to play Skies on isn't one of them (read: 4 copies released in Australia) blol but it's just not happening. aww
The ONLY choice (read: virtual exclusive) is the Cube version.

Yeah, I was replying to your comment about people not being able to admit the DC is dead. Not Skies. You edited that comment out after I posted. Sigh.
