Back when I was heading up a self printed gaming magazine we started off with an idea similar to that - we paired off the SNES and Sega Genesis with games that hit both platforms and used pics to compare, discussed the differences, etc.

The #1 complaint over that angle was the SNES version was newer and it was unfair to compare Ghouls 'n Ghosts against Supe Ghosts 'n Goblins but no one complained about Contra Hard Corps against Contra III: The Alien War. Lol. Others complained about comparing closer released games but each was inherently different than the other console version making it an unfair comparison.

Moral of the story, do what you enjoy and ignore the haters. Don't let others ruin your fun. Life is too short.
