My point exactly. Those versions are just fine, and, in my opinion, look better thanks to the colors. I wholeheartedly agree with your statement, but it’s nice to have something to finally be exited about, if only a little.
The original game is quite “white” in terms of colors. They all look a little washed-out. This is just “generic good looking game” with oversaturated colors and contrast that has no right to be so high. It’s okay, but makes me a little skeptical.
The whole game was broadcasted through satellite, the only copies would either be in Japanese satellaviews (If those had storage), or at Nintendo themselves (If they kept a copy), so it’s not surprising that a vhs was the only way
