Riding my horse Agro through the revamped overworld was a more rewarding experience simply because everything looked better. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. Instead of working within the limitations of an underpowered console, their goal was to make the game shine as much as possible on newer hardware. This version of the game was developed by Bluepoint Productions, without the oversight of Ueda and the original design team. Perhaps it's too much to expect a remake to live up to our nostalgia.
