Great game, would do wonders on a remake. Not just a 1:1 but slightly better designed levels and more realistic look/feel but still with the classic gameplay.
If the actual componants (pad, rubber, shoulder buttons) are the same then this is well worth it. I just get a feeling that something wouldn't feel right. I've had a lot of knock off SNES controllers. They LOOK the same but never feel the same.
I only found out a year or so ago that the western release is actually much harder than the JP release. Usually it's the other way around. The JP version is actually tolerable.
Nintendo has a stellar back catalog of DS, Wii, 3DS, and Wii U titles to play. It's not like they have bad games for their systems. It's just they haven't been delivering in the 3rd and 4th quarter and even into 2016.
Nintendo's PR trying to polish a turd with Freedom Force and Triforce Hereos for example isn't helping. Their lack of VC games also is a shame.
They should come out and just say "we're putting out AAA teams on NX games but look at the amazing top tier games we have already out for the current gen consoles".

Re: Talking Point: The Allure of the Virtual Console and How Nintendo Can Harness It
It's tough being a fan of the VC when living in NA. I'd love to support it more but Nintendo just doesn't get it.
Re: The 3DS Virtual Console Pokémon Titles Won't Support Restore Points
Just swapped out my 20 year old battery pack in my Pikachu edition cartridge. Ready for another 20 years of saves

Re: Bravely Second: End Layer Demo Arrives in Europe on 11th February
They're going out of the way to murder the English language hah.
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th January (North America)
I'm still amazed at the rate Nintendo is trickling in VC games.
Re: Video: Everything We Know About Nintendo NX, So Far
I know you need ad revenue NintendoLife but can you knock it off with the speculation articles until we get some actual information? Like at E3 2016?
Re: Metroid: Zero Mission Looks Set for a 14th January Arrival in North America
It's par for the course to have every VC game released elsewhere well before NA gets it.
Re: Gallery: Have a Gawk at The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD's Boxart
If you need me I'll be playing Link's Awakening.

Reggie really screwing us over here.
Re: Review: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (Wii U eShop / SNES)
How about releasing it in NA Nintendo -_-
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Can Exploit Its Rich History With More Remasters
Keep in mind NintendoLife, this is the company that can't even port VC games that are already out in different territories.
Re: PlatinumGames Will Celebrate Its 10th Anniversary This Year
What they do, they do well.
We're due for an updated Viewtiful Joe.
Re: Feature: The Biggest 3DS Games of 2016
My 3DS won't be getting much action this year lol
Re: Crush 40 Facebook Post, Since Deleted, Points to 25th Anniversary Sonic Game
They just need a high resolution 2D classic sonic similar in the quality of Rayman Origins.
Pull back the camera a bit and show more of the map. 2D platforming + speed in HD is what this IP needs.
edit: oh yeah and less story
Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2016
Zzz
Re: Nintendo Download: 31st December (North America)
Reggie is just horrible.
Re: Random: Here's Where All the Koopalings Got Their Names
If they came out this year, Wendy would be named Iggy for Iggy Azalea. Similarities are uncanny.
Re: Talking Point: The Easily Forgotten Hardware Release of 2015 - New Nintendo 3DS
And here I thought we were through talking about Majora's Mask.
Re: Nintendo Download: 31st December (Europe)
EU getting all the good VC games lately.

TIE Fighter always and forever.
Re: Final Fantasy VI Advance Arrives on the Wii U Virtual Console in Japan
SNES or bust. Soon FF VI and Chrono Trigger will be teh only reasons I'll need to boot into the Wii OS.
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th December (Europe)
PRAISE BE TO JESUS!!! Finally SM RPG comes to the west on the Wii U!
This is the first SNES game on the VC in how long???
Next Chrono Trigger and FFIII (VI)???
Re: Super Mario Maker Director Shares Details About the Upcoming Update
The outlines are silly.
And enough with Slopes, they know we want them okay... time to move on.
Re: Editorial: Xenoblade Chronicles X Has Tiny Text - Time for an Update?
I can barely see the game itself behind the UI in Xenoblade. What a cluster...
Re: Ten Hours of Maintenance on the Way for the Nintendo Network
prepping to release more triforce hero garbage
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th December (North America)
1 VC released every two weeks or so and it's always some lame GBA game or a GBA version of an already released SNES title.
UGH
Re: Weirdness: A Dragon Punch Would Take Your Head Clean Off, Says Science
Was this the big announcement Nintendo was giving?
Re: Art: Here's Another Western Take On The Legend Of Zelda's Link
I still get the impression that the majority of Nintendo-lifers are only familiar with OoT to Wii based Zelda titles.
Re: A 'Big' Nintendo Announcement is Coming on Monday
Another crappy Wii Zelda HD remake?
Re: Video: Check Out New Footage of Ghost Song: A Journey of Hope

Re: Hardware Review: 8bitdo SNES30 And SFC30 Bluetooth Controllers
If the actual componants (pad, rubber, shoulder buttons) are the same then this is well worth it. I just get a feeling that something wouldn't feel right. I've had a lot of knock off SNES controllers. They LOOK the same but never feel the same.
Re: Video: New Mighty No. 9 Trailer Aims to Bring Back the Hype
All of the videos I've seen on this game is just a dash fest. Kinda bummed.
Re: Review: The Adventures of Bayou Billy (Wii U eShop / NES)
I only found out a year or so ago that the western release is actually much harder than the JP release. Usually it's the other way around. The JP version is actually tolerable.
Re: Editorial: It's Not Fun to Criticise Nintendo Games, But It's Been Unavoidable in 2015
Nintendo has a stellar back catalog of DS, Wii, 3DS, and Wii U titles to play. It's not like they have bad games for their systems. It's just they haven't been delivering in the 3rd and 4th quarter and even into 2016.
Nintendo's PR trying to polish a turd with Freedom Force and Triforce Hereos for example isn't helping. Their lack of VC games also is a shame.
They should come out and just say "we're putting out AAA teams on NX games but look at the amazing top tier games we have already out for the current gen consoles".
Re: Acclaimed 3DS Shooter Steel Empire Finally Cleared For European Landing
Love the art work in this game.
