I’ve been playing a lot of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy lately and it seems like it has a number of improvements over the arcade release. I’m curious what other ports people find particularly good.

It’s a sequel featuring a mix of old and new characters, but it’s still a sequel. That’s like saying Street Fighter IV isn’t a sequel because it has SF2’s roster in it.
No, it is more like me reading about this game for 40 freaking years and you’re the first person I’ve seen insist it is a sequel. Please let wikipedia know!
I think y’all are getting into semantics here. There are different definitions, colloquially, of port and sequel. Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out on the NES might be neither a sequel nor a port depending on the definitions.
Wikipedia lists five games in the series. NES and SNES are the third and fourth. Nowhere are they described as ports, they are listed separately.
Wikipedia specifically calls it " it is an adaptation of the arcade video games Punch-Out!! (1984) and Super Punch-Out!! (1984). " in the article for the NES game itself.
Reading the Wikipedia page, it kinda sounds like a soft reboot rather than a direct sequel or a port. Kinda like the recent Starfox remake in a way. But to be fair, I don’t know that much about these games.
I think the new StarFox is a shot for shot remake of StarFox 64
Yes, but with more bells and whistles. Added things like cutscenes and other gameplay modes to flesh everything out more. That’s kinda what this sounds like to me. But I haven’t played the arcade releases to compare. I’m sure other folks in here have a better idea on it than me.
