Definitive Versions



Introduction
Ports, Re-releases, HD Remakes, Game of the Year Editions, etc... Chances are, your favorite game has at least seen a number of ports and re-releases with companies trying to either milk a franchise for what it's worth, expand their audience, or to introduce new-players to their game. While some are very clear-cut as to which edition or port you should get, sometimes it's not that simple. Other ports of a game could have some extra features, or is designed better than another console. Sometimes when a game is remade it misses something that the original has, such as FPS issues, boggled down features, or it'just looks plain ugly. Other times it's not so much as the console it's in, but the region that was released. There have been many times when JP and PAL regions have a more superior version of a game while others get mere scraps and vice-versa.

As mentioned already, there are many games that clearly have superior versions out there (i.e. SSF4 > SF4). Those are not on this list, although some later editions of a game may not be as great than you think. This page is to help you sort through all the versions and editions of a game and pick out which one is the best out of the bunch.

Note: It's also best to give out honorable mentions of other editions that might not be as great, but are well-worth checking out as well.
