Well I'm talking about situations where the original game would no longer be available. As in Nintendo tinkers with VC games in the same manner they tinkered with SNES ports on the GBA. Yeah we can still get a used copy of the original game but how long is that going to be a realistic way to obtain classic games? In thirty years do you think it will be so easy to get a working copy of an NES game? Since this is the first real attempt for a console maker to make classic games available on a wide scale I think it's important it be done right. The original versions of games should be passed down to future generations.
Though there are a few exceptions I would make. Donkey Kong should not be being re-released in the inferior three level NES version anymore even if that is historically accurate to the original NES release. It really shouldn't even have been released on the NES in the first place since it was established years before the NES came out in North America that Famicom games had enough space on them for all four levels. It really bothers me that it wasn't "fixed" for Donkey Kong Classics or the e-Reader, Animal Crossing, or GBA re-releases. That is the sort of thing I'm talking about. An inferior port of the game was released and THAT is the version being passed on, instead of the superior original arcade game. That shows the real lack of attention Nintendo (and the gaming industry in general) shows towards game history. Donkey Kong should be the arcade version and always the arcade version aside from releasing variations like the NES version strictly for historical purposes. I'm afraid if Nintendo releases a tinkered version of something like Super Mario Bros that 20 years from now when they decide to do a re-release that version is what is used while the original is forgotten about.
Anyway since as far as I know Nintendo isn't going to have an arcade emulator for the VC I would have no problem if they added the missing level to the NES version since that version was supposed to be an arcade port anyway. But that's an rare case where the "that isn't what I meant to do" arguement actually stands up. The best way to do things would be to treat things like some DVDs where the original cut and the special director's cut of a film are available on the same disc. It would be best if I chose to download Donkey Kong and got the Arcade and NES version and perhaps some variation Nintendo now wanted to make.
