Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Animal Crossing a port of Animal Forest and not a remake? For one thing, the GameCube version is small enough to be played with the disc out after the game is booted up. -- Evice ( talk) 20:12, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Since we do not list Emerald as a remake of Ruby and Sapphire, or Crystal as a remake of Gold and Silver, I am taking this off the list 24.184.206.83 ( talk) 22:59, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
Super Mario 64 DS is listed as a remake, while Yoshi's Island DS is not. Any reason? Funky on Flames ( user; talk; edits) 15:29, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
Where are Banjo-Kazooie (X-Box Live Arcade, remake of nintendo 64) and his sequel Banjo-Tooie? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.60.105.109 ( talk) 18:39, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Would the port of Cave Story on WiiWare be considered a re-make? If so, I think that it should be added to the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yoshiller ( talk • contribs) 15:47, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Everything is completely messed up in this List of video game remakes.
A port is NOT a remake. A "HD Remaster" or a Collection is NOT a remake.
A clean up is needed! — Preceding

Do transport tycoon deluxe and openttd belong here?
A lot of these games are don't classify as "remakes", since they are really just enhanced versions of their originals with new textures, models and so on but running on the same engine and using the same mechanics. Some of them don't even have any major enhancements except higher rendering resolutions and an unlocked frame rate, so that would make them nothing more than enhanced ports, regardless of what they are being advertised as.
A lot of people are mixing these terms up and use them incorrectly (including game publishers) and I think it's Wikipedia's job to make a clear differentiation here.
When you're talking about actual remakes, it's when an old game gets used as a template to create an entirely new game, based on the concepts and ideas of the original game. Examples would be: Conker, Live and Reloaded, Secret Of Monkey Island SE, Tomb Raider Anniversary, Black Mesa, Oddworld New N Tasty... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.10.112.159 ( talk) 20:17, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
why not include release dates in the table ?? 179.7.215.247 ( talk) 06:13, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition for Planescape: Torment - not sure if such upgraded editions of games fit in this list though. — Ark25 ( talk) 22:22, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I think we should rename this page as "List of video game remakes and remastered ports" to reflect the actual content of the article. Thoughts? -- Tanonero (msg) 12:37, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
This is torture to navigate without a year column. Who created this table? 2001:8003:D9A7:6D01:972:BBD6:21F0:F6A5 ( talk) 10:09, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
A game port is not a remake. It's a port. Can we split this page into 2? Also Warcraft 3 reforged is not on the list LiviuMarin ( talk) 13:33, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
I wanted to discuss a few points that Melodia and Tanonero should look at:
Alt ( talk) 15:29, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
Oppose the official english name for both the original and remake is Trials of Mana. It doesnt matter if it's technically a port onto modern consoles. I recommend wait and see. We can look and see what the reviews are. Blue Pumpkin Pie Chat Contribs 10:43, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
You saying it was known as SD3 15 years ago doesnt hold weight because back then there was no official localization of the game. Now that there is there is now coverage calling the game Trials of Mana. And the only time they call it SD3 is to clarify why we've never heard of it before. The game is infamous for never releasing in western territories. Now that it has, some of that infamy is going to die down and we now have a new status quo. Seiken Densetsu 3 is not the official english name. It wasnt even the common english name. It was just the japanese name that had no translation. Blue Pumpkin Pie Chat Contribs 22:16, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
Yes SD3 is the official Japanese name, but it never received an English name before. And even though they've clarified it which this happened as well with Harvest Moon. To make a point, even though sources clarify what Trials of Mana is, sources have adapted to the new status quo and continue their discussion of the game as "Trials of Mana" moving forward. there are some instances where they don't but also add SD1 and SD2. Blue Pumpkin Pie Chat Contribs 23:04, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
With regards to the recent title move by @ T.E.S Phoenexus:, I strongly disagree with the new phrasing. In fact, the table does not include ports per se, namely games originally developed for a system and then later made available to other systems with no change. However, it does include such "ports" when they have gone through some form of enhancement, be it a HD remaster, gameplay tweaks, or new content. If we decide to stick with removing "remastered" from the title (as not all the ports are technically remastered), I reckon we should use another adjective such as "enhanced", provided that "enhanced" can semantically cover both remastered ports as well as ports with minimal or other types of changes. -- Tanonero (msg) 10:20, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
I've noticed that for many games it is elaborated upon what has changed in the remake/remaster/enhanced port, and it looks very cluttered to keep this information bundled with the platforms listed. My suggestion is to put a new column between platforms and source(s) specifically for notes. -- RadiganSupreme ( talk) 5:10, 14 April 2021

This came out in February and should be added to the list if appropriate Metroid Prime Remastered 98.243.133.113 ( talk) 16:24, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
This is missing from the list. It was an HD remake for the Wii U based on the original 3DS title. 172.116.116.236 ( talk) 06:34, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I was wondering how this entry should be addressed. You see, in an interview, one of the designers stated that it actually was based on the Game Boy Advance version rather than the PC or PlayStation versions. Should the source game be changed from the original to the GBA version? Or in the case of a remake of a remake, would the original version still be listed as the source? The interview for reference: [6] - Cukie Gherkin ( talk) 05:17, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
Is Super Mario 3D All Stars really a remaster? It seems more like an enhanced port rather than a remaster and shouldn't be on this list. Also Another Code: Recollection is a remake of the separate DS and Wii games and should be on this list. Ameet12345 ( talk) 19:21, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
AlwaysBlaze ( talk) 12:53, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
why do my edits get removed AlwaysBlaze ( talk) 12:58, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
@ AlwaysBlaze: If there are unsources entries, they should also be removed or provided with a source attesting they can be defined as remasters or remakes. If reputable sources can't be found, then we can't attest the status as either remasters or remakes and they can't be listed. -- Tanonero (msg) 00:07, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
