No two machines play exactly the same way - and this goes for both original machines and remakes.
My brother and I both owned EBD-LE machines at one point, and they both felt different from each other - even though they both played fine.
If they were to remake EBD, one of us (at least) is going to say "This doesn't feel the same as my original!"
If you play a MBr and say this "this doesn't feel like my original", I could probably bring in another original and you'd say the same thing.
