Great list!

Can I go old school?

StarCraft on the Nintendo 64, I cannot imagine how someone can properly play the game using a traditional controller.

thanks and sure you can, holy crap i forgot that game was on n64, i didnt even know anybody actually played it. 

Matter of fact if we're talking N64, pratically any late port that came out for that system, dont know why RE2 came out almost 2 years later on that system

Actually, RE2 was pretty good on the N64, some of the in game graphics were better and it had more then a few extras, even if the cinemas weren't exactly converted cleanly in some instances. Heck, most of the later RE2 ports I hear are based on the N64 version, but speaking of those... yeah EVERY cheap RE port that landed on the GC after the great remake of the first game was unnecessary.

I will also throw out...

- the gimped Street Fighter Alpha 2 they put on the SNES after the N64 already released

- Nintendo porting over Fatal Frame/Project Zero 2 onto the Wii in 2012

- Dead Rising: Chopped till you drop, I know it was mentioned before but I can't STRESS how horrible this port was, especially given Capcom just ported over RE4 with better graphics based on the GC game with the PS2 extras. If they weren't even going to try to make it look better then a launch PS2 game why bother?

But late ports to new systems appears to be something Japanese publishers and EA REALLY like given what I've seen these past few years.

 

thats not a fair comparison. RE4 was a PS3/GC game. DR was a 360 game HUGE difference. So it was always going to look inferior
