As a follow-up to my last post, where I discussed the practice of re-releasing games with a few new additions, I would just like to give a few examples of which games are good examples of how to do this, and also give some examples of re-releases that shouldn't exist.
The Good Ones
Super Street Fighter IV - added new modes, tweaked fighting system, and a bunch of new characters
MvC3 Ultimate - New characters, modes, tweaked fighting system, and finally SPECTATOR MODE! (that shoud have been included in a free update, but its better than not including it.
The Bad Ones
Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition - Adds a few bells and whistles along with a few characters. The problem with this is that it doesn't add enough content to be worth $40. One could argue that it is okay because it can be purchased as DLC for $15, but it is only DLC for Super Street Fighter IV. At that point, you have spent $55 to upgrade from the original game to SSFIV Arcade Edition. Thats almost the price of another game.
Dead Rising 2: Off the record - DR2, only with a new character. Photography has been added back into the game. This is highway robbery, people. $40? Really? This is the game DR2 should have been.
What do you think? What are your favorite/least favorite re-hashes? Let me know in the comments section below!
