Resident Evil, bitches!

Eh, I don't know.

Is it like the Twin Snakes situation, where the original is better in some way, and the remake is better in others.

The original is...well crap. The remakes on the GameCube won't make you laugh and are ideally what the creators were trying to go for.

I still don't agree with this statement, I still find a lot of enjoyment in playing the original. It's just no competition when it comes to the remake. Oh, and there's only one remake (and its Wii port), in case someone gets confused by the word "remakes".

Well there's a remake on the GameCube, PC, Wii, DS which are better than the original PS1/Sega Saturn game.
Resident Evil 2 and onwards is OK...but Resident Evil 1 is laughably bad. You'd play it to have fun with, rather than take seriously. As opposed to the re-release/remakes which are the better versions.

Games back then should be able to stand the test of time like Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 9 and Metal Gear. Resident Evil 1 is just plain bad. Like C-movie bad. You are right though, there is still enjoyment to be had out of the original Resident Evil game, but for the wrong reasons.

"Wait Jill...don't open that door' HAAAAA. Even Capcom mock Resident Evil 1 in Dead Rising and quotes in later Resident Evil games.
