If I must be honest, I'd quicker by the carts cheaper down the line and get an emulated version when a good enough DS emulator hits the market. Still though, I don't want to resort to that when Capcom has been doing some things right, which is what makes me feel bad for everyone involved, fans and creators alike.
I bought the original on iOS then did the above a number of months ago as I didn't know there would be a release of this collection.
It's all very moral grey area, but the games emulate just fine right now - though carts can be difficult to find. I'm sad to hear that people don't like the new art, but I believe in voting with your wallet so even though I'm pretty fine with it, go with your gut.
As for Capcom, *shrug* - I personally just purchase the games I want in the forms I want them and leave it at that.
I played the first one on my iPhone before the HD trilogy was released, and eagerly picked up the second game for my iPad when that came out. I had the same misgivings about the art when I first started. The characters that I was used to seeing in the DS art style seemed a bit...off. Mia was perhaps the worst offender. However, after the first two trials I had ceased to notice. The art all seems fine to me now, particularly for the new characters that I haven't seen in any other way. I'd recommend just soldiering on and seeing how you feel after some time. Better than spending more money on a different version.
As for Capcom adding a DS graphics option, I'm sorry to say that there's probably no chance of that. I really am enjoying the HD version though. I think you'll get used to it. Best of luck, regardless.
