When did people get nostalgic for the crappy analogue definition that was VHS? What's next betamax special editions?
It’s probably the format they watched when they were younger, which would be a major contributor to nostalgia. I still keep a VHS player and my parents’ old copies of the pre-special edition Star Wars movies along with Akira and Ghost in the Shell.
I remember programming the VCR when VHS was first a thing and I'm definitely not nostalgic for it. It was the best most people could afford at the time but it certainly wasn't good.
The despecialised editions are the real director's cut fite me IRL.
