I think perhaps you should change your perspective a bit and realize someone else liking Punch Out NES more and considering it the best is just as equal as you stating it's not the best but the Wii version is the best. The thing is, you may not like someone else's opinion and that's fine, but understand that when it comes down to it, none of this is facts. We can use facts to determine our opinions, but preference and what we consider the best in these situations literally are just personal opinions.It's more of I meant that people believe the NES game is better because of Tyson and Tyson only when Title Defense Sandman on Wii craps all over him.
Even then, the only reason I said the NES game aged was because the other games just did it better. That's all. People just assume that aged=bad.
Here's a section from a piece I wrote a long time ago on NeoGAF when I was discussing Pokemon, but I feel it's something that can be applied to any subject like this and bring more insight into this subject. As a disclaimer, it's in rant form, but with good intentions.
Another thing that is brought up is that people will reference nostalgia if they like the previous versions, however, that line of thinking doesn't make sense. Nostalgia simply means a memory of a past good time, it does not mean biased, and nostalgia will never have that effect unless the person is biased. Because someone likes something else, it doesn't equate to a specific negative reason, and to tie to to that would make you actually the biased one.
I think using nostalgia is rather silly in itself, there are reasons people like whatever they like. Now, if it's from someone who stopped playing at the original games and says "the newer Pokemon games are terrible, blahblahblah." then there's where that argument can be brought up. For those who will say they liked the older generations more, and have participated in the later gens, I don't think it's fair at all to label that as nostalgia. It can easily be thrown around without any given reason, and has no basis unless it's what I stated before about never playing the games.
Let's say DPP/BW are your favorite versions, and ten years from now you still think they are your favorites, that wouldn't make you "nostalgic". And yes, I think there are highs and lows to every generation, it's purely preference in the end.
