Whenever I play the NES versions, I surely prefer them over the remakes for their distinct look and feel. And I don't have any nostalgia bias, played both for the first time only last year.

Whenever I play All-Stars, I like it more than the originals and nothing I can do about it. I just love the graphics and how everything is reworked.

The games may lose their uniqueness a bit in this remake, yet it still a great way to experience them. Especially for modern gamers who would appreciate the saves and unlimited continues.

Besides, All-Stars brought The Lost Levels worldwide, which is often misunderstood and underrated IMO.
