When you think of the NES, what do you think when you think software? Now do the same for SNES, Genesis, PS1 etc. Did a fucking PORT come to mind? I'm guessing not.

And why do you think that is? Is it because back then, ports were treated by gamers like a case herpes?  Is it because game companies back then knew that they were third-hand titles that not many people wanted and kept them in the background? 

The answer to both is yes. We didn't WANT ports. They were scoffed at and dismissed. 

Games like Donkey Kong, Pacman, and even Tetris were ports and people LOVED them

Tetris on Gameboy, sure, people loved. But that was because it was the first time it released. The NES version was ignored for the most part. The other games you mentioned were also... you want to know the truth? I didn't even KNOW they existed in 1986 and I just got my NES. No one cared about those old games. We wanted Super Mario Bros., Metroids, Ninja Gaiden, Mega man and Zelda... we didn't give two shits about Pac-Man on our NES. That was old hat.
