There is a beauty in the simplicity of 8bit. I'm gonna buy the DuckTales remake, but damn the original has more character.

Kinda related but the NES version of Donkey Kong is coming to the Wii U virtual console and was thinking has there ever been an Arcade perfect Port of DK?

I hope "Double Dragon Neon" is placed on a compilation disc at some point, because I hate download-only games. The main title theme is an awesome remix of the original.
