I don't care about this game at all, but I think that if reviews are supposed to be an accurate measure on the quality of a game they should review a game based on how high of quality it is and not based on whether the game has been released before.

Basically, if someone has never played your favourite games from the previous generation would you say that they're bad and not worth playing today? An unmodified port may not be of any value to people who played the game already, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good game to play for someone who didn't own it in the first place.

I don't think you quite understand my opinion so I'll give you an example.

Let's go with the original Super Smash Bros. game for the N64.

Let's say Nintendo decided tomorrow to repackage it as a full Wii game (not VC) and all they did was add Wiimote/nunchuck controls to it.  They add nothing else.  No new characters, stages, modes, music, or anything are added.  What kind of rating should the game get?  Back when it was released it was a 8-10 out of 10 game for a lot of people.

Now we have SSB Wii with only 12 characters, no improvements, and more standing next to SSBB with roughly 3 times as many characters and stages along with loads of content.  Do you think that this SSB port as a Wii game should be 9 out of 10 like it was for the N64? 

I don't think so and neither would X-Play.
