Message: [QUOTE="Lena CE, post: 168420, member: 26523"] Rodea The Sky Soldier is always my go-to. The game was originally made on Wii, but the publisher - Kadokawa Games - wanted to wait until a version was finished for the upcoming 3DS to release them side-by-side and so delayed the release of the now fully finished game by like 2-3 years. The 3DS version was handled by different developers internal to Kadokawa and as such it changes a lot of things visually and gameplay wise that are almost all for the worst. They then weirdly decided to port the 3DS version to the WiiU as the official version, only making the original and superior Wii version of the game a second disc bonus for people who bought the game physically on WiiU. Absolutely baffling stuff all around. I have only played the PS2 version of 2006, but I also know that Madden 2006 thru 2008 are considered way better on 6th gen consoles than they were on the then next-gen 360/PS3. From what I recall the games went through a lot of development hell when the studios were trying to create their next-gen engine and assets, so a lot of features were gutted or outright cut on new hardware. Meanwhile the last-gen versions were able to just build off the bones of the existing engine and assets, making for a far more complete and familiar experience. I assume there are other generational leaps for sports where this sort of stuff happened. I know the Saturn's sports games were almost all reviled outside of the baseball games, so I assume if there are any Genesis parallels the 16-bit versions are considered better. I haven't played gen 4 of Pokemon yet (god I need to get on that) but I know that Pokemon Platinum is considered vastly superior to the gen 4 remakes on Switch in nearly every way. I've heard some people say that even the base gen 4 versions on DS are better than the remakes, but I'm a bit more skeptical of that claim despite having no real knowledge either way. I always encourage people to give the PS2/Wii version of Unleashed a shot because it rly is a unique and worthwhile experience, glad to see it get some love here! Also my god remembering the DLC for 06 and Unleashed is so funny. They clearly didn't wanna put the amount of effort in needed to actually create whole new levels so they just shoved spikes and enemies everywhere and called it "hard mode". Hilarious first steps at creating DLC lol. [/QUOTE]
