| jasonnc80 said: I agree with certain points you make and others not so much. I agree that re-releases such as Sonic 2, Frogger, or Doom (regardless of platform rereleased on) shouldn't be counted on such lists. I don't agree with the rare/hard to find part though. If we go down that road then who's definition of rare or hard to find do we use? I also don't agree with a few posters in this thread that said all XBLA, PSN, etc games should be counted regardless if it's a rerelease or not. It can get fuzzy with games like Rez HD that have content added to the X360 version but as it stands there are no such games that fit into this argument of 90% games. Maybe in the future somebody will have to walk down that road but right now that's not the case. I think the only fair way IMO is to count original content on a platform whether it be disc based, XBLA, WiiWare, PSN, etc.

By rare I mean previous generation games only really. If it was released this generation in any quantity it shouldn't be too hard to get your hands on a guaranteed working copy. If it was released extremely late/after the "start" of the generation then it should probably be counted. It is a blurry line at best, and made worse by inconsistent BC on some systems (I am looking at you PS3!).
I would like to note my original post came in response to someone saying Banjo Kazooie would make the list. I imagine we can agree if games like that are to be counted then the VC should be counted as well in the interest of fairness. If no re-releases save those on discs are counted then its fine. I am just trying to make sure there is a level playing field as it were.
