I've noticed that when a game is rereleased often time the programmers remove glitches that were in the original, even if its a direct port. I noticed that with Mother 1+2 some glitches were removed as well. So my question is; if a game is rereleased on the virtual console, compilation, ect. do you think glitches should be removed?

In my opinion I don't think they should. From the programmers point of view the glitch is a mistake and they didn't intend it to be there so I understand why they might remove it. But I feel that when they do it, it takes away the authenticity of the original game. A lot of times glitches are a lot of fun and I'm always dissapointed when they take them out because then I can't enjoy them anymore, I was so dissapointed when they took out my favorite glitches in sonic adventure when they released it as Sonic adventure DX. So to sum it up glitches shouldn't be removed because: it feels less authentic when a game is altered from the original, and glitches are a lot of fun to try out.

So what are other peoples opinions on this.

The creator (or lead designer) should have his or her wishes honored IMO. If the creator wants the glitches to stay, they stay.

From a fan's point of view I think glitches should stay some of the time (vanish/x-zone was amazing) but if they hinder gameplay then feel free to drop them. I have no problem with the updated texture packs of ICO/SotC, the content being added in and the framerate being fixed. So I guess uh...sometimes it's ok and sometimes it's not ok

all bugs and glitches should be removed from games, the true fans. if they want the bugs and glitches they can buy the old carts. and celebrate another reason to have them. bugs are things never planned to be in games. they just didn't do enough testing. i say fix all the bugs. and give something the die hard fans can enjoy. they have the bugs that nobody else can use.

but bugs are something not meant to be in.

I hope if they do release it all the bugs will be fixed. making it so we can talk to those people in threed.

If the glitches don't do any harm then I don't think they should be removed. If they do do harm, then they should be fixed.

However, there are occasions when there's a famous glitch that does hurt the game, like missingo in Pokemon R/B/Y I think it was. If there's something like that, then they should fix the glitch, but still leave the thing in the game. I mean, if the player does the steps for the glitch in the remake, then the effect should still occur, it's just this time it's supposed to since it's programmed into the game and doesn't hurt it, just for fun. (Run-on, yeah, yeah...)

Thats weird I haven't had any glitches with the game and I have FF7 for windows, the only glitches I've noticed are the ones that are also in the playstation version. Like that hilarious one where Vincent's leg goes all berzerk, I'm glad they didn't take that one out when they ported the game to the PC.

I just really wish, if it is released again for the Wii, that they do remove the threed bug. it would be nice to talk to those people without a rom hack.

I seem to remember reading about a Rock Candy glitch in Earthbound that allowed virtually unlimited status boosts with Rock Candy and condiments or something like that. I could understand creators taking that out because it could destroy the gameplay. In fact, I seem to remember that they did that for the M1+2 remake. If people want to enjoy the glitch, they can go find themselves an original cartridge or something.



I agree on that point. The creators intended for us to talk to that person, so we should be allowed to talk to them. If an author wrote a book with some grammatical errors, and it was rereleased in a second edition, would there be anything wrong with fixing the errors? I don't see why there would. It's how the book was intended to come out. Pretty much the same as "It's how the game was intended to come out."

you remind me of a Manga I have it has a miss print. on page 3 it has page 29 and on page 29 it has page 29, so I have no Idea what happened on page 3, the author inteded me to see page 3. but I was ripped off a little by having a rare copy that has the wrong pages... anyway. i still to this day have no idea what happened on that page, and it's some what... altering (story changes a bit after that page) but what ever.. it's okay. (same said about threed, it's like printing the wrong page on the page )
