I voted for version 1. It's so simple, and I know the personality of EVERY charcter! Not like V3, there are too many characters to remember them all . I love the version 1 games, they make the most sense. Can you imagine running with three circles above you and when all of them are black you have to jump? Can you imagine standing somewhere with arrows above your head? Plus V1s are quite low maintennance, and I find I don't need to change the battery as much.
