The arcade game Battletank has its game concept enhanced for the Nintendo. When I first discovered this, I thought, ""Great. Why fix something that isn't broke?""

But the game concept actually *is* better. You hunt down your enemies with the help of a map, instead of simply using a radar in the arcade game. The graphics are much better, of course, since the arcade had only Vector graphics (images composed only of lines and dots instead of pixel-generated images).

The game isn't always memorable, and at times is even kind of a drag to play, but it's still pretty good, and it's not a cheesy port like Gauntlet or that newer release of Ms. Pac-man.
