But TronVE would totally hold up any Stern DraculaVE

Quoted from J85M:

If there is a deal to be made and money to be made from it Stern will do it, BM66 is proof of that, it was originally a simple VE but there was more money to be made from a redesign.

Quoted from ahdelarge:

Exactly. You can then re-sell a game to the same customers that bought the original. I can hear it now. "I already own Tron, but this has all new art and new video on the display. I have to own it. It looks awesome!"

It's definitely substantially less effort to not have to redesign playfield and game rules... a little extra time to pull together some new video/audio assets and plug them in--even porting to a new system--wouldn't take as much effort.

This does bring up a humorous thought though... (may get rotten tomatoes over it)

...given how Spiderman was redone (with the comic book version over the movie version)...

...would Stern dare go here with LOTR-VE?
