I just don't think the more modern games on XBLA like Castle Crashers come even close to recreating the magic that the above retro classics have.

 

I don't like the emulated games for two reasons:

1. I have them already on the original system they appeared on if I really like them

2. It's often a lackluster emulation without any added value

 

Well, MvC2 at least was remade in HD and I can play it with my SF4TE Stick...

And all the Genesis games are collected in a box anyways and now I always feel like they steal the slot from an original release waiting to come out.

 

Well, they are not going to release games of the quality of say Braid or Shadow complex every week are they.

Sonic and Knuckles release was a blessing for me, because i now have all 4 origional sonics on my 360 so i can go seamlessly from a session of say sonic straight to an online session of Left 4 Dead and then perhaps some Streets of Rage 2 to finish off.

Old and new paradise.

I can understand when people say that games like Duke Nukem 3D and Sonic & Knuckles are delaying new and origional games, but if a game is a bonafide classic then i would much rather have that than say Golf tee it up or Rocky and Bullwinkle.
