The original is timeless and way more beautiful in my opinion.
Not at least slapping a pixel font on there is an odd choice given the purposeful nostalgia goal.
If you slapped a pixel font in, you'd really want to rework the whole UI to not look jarring with the aliased font you'd most likely use to evoke the nostalgia, and that's a substantial rabbit hole, but also not one you necessarily need to rework the underlying functionality to do, e.g. it's easy to do later if you build it right initially.
Nesticle is a nostalgia bomb for me.
