Portable gaming is different to me. I was pretty happy when Link to the Past was published for the Gameboy Advance. It offered a convenient way to play the game again (I rarely remove games or systems from storage to play them) with the exact same graphics as the original, only cleaner, since I wasn't playing on a CRT TV through an S-video cable.

If there was any game on the SNES that I really enjoyed, I would buy it again for the GB Advance or DS, just for that convenience factor. Chrono Trigger in particular would have been perfect.

I never actually finished FFVII even though I bought it when it debuted. I've trying repeatedly to get back into it, but ironically, the very thing that made the game industry newsworthy (visually the most impressive game of its time) is what now distracts me when I'm playing the game. The 3D graphics simply look too primitive to the point that they're just not visually appealing to me. I would suffer through just for the story, but like all FF games, there is way too much grinding to slog through for the good bits of story line.

Hand drawn 2D animation by contrast seems to age better for me personally.

But I keep buying them from FFVII, FFVIII, FFX, FFX-2, FFXII and eventually FFXIII even though I've yet to finish any of them.
