If I was stuck in the Saturn version and asked the same guy though, then he could help me because that really is just a port.

It's the same reason nobody considers Strider NES to be the same as Strider Arcade--because it isn't.
Again, that's your opinion. I have played through both versions of the game and I don't consider them to be different games. Applying your definition, every "new" version of every JRPG released by NIS or Atlus would be a unique game simply because they added new characters or missions/areas. Surely that can't be correct. I would agree that Resident Evil on the Gamecube has many positive changes that make it interesting for someone who has already played the game on another platform, but I would not agree that it's a totally new game or something "unique" to the Gamecube.
