The best video game remakes!

[@Peebs]

Which remakes and ports did I forget?? I've already thought of a couple others since filming this. :( Thanks for watching!

[@Unfunnyjestr]

I love the Luigi’s mansion 3ds remake it’s the definitive version

[@connorj1165]

You forgot about Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe a pretty good remake of Kirby's Return to Dreamland and having a new side story mode for Magolor and having his own amusement park which is really cool I wish that Nintendo and HAL could do full-on remakes of the two Kirby 3DS Games like Kirby Triple Deluxe and Kirby Planet Robobot and having new side story modes for both Taranza and Susie just like how they did with Magolor in Magolor Epilogue which that would be cool to see HAL and Nintendo do. Oh yeah and also you forgot Mario VS Donkey Kong GBA remake as well oh and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze + Funky Mode and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

[@SlyHikari03]

The GameCube version of Skies of Arcadia. I know people prefer the Dreamcast version but the Gamecube version holds a special place in my heart. One of my favorite JRPGs.

[@Jonathan-us1qu]

Fun Fact about the Miitopia remaster: In the postgame there is a secret tower you can complete, its completely new, it was not advertised, and what's more is that it appears out of no where with no fanfare. Also its very hard so, good luck!

[@cyanamespace]

i remember freaking out about new content when the demo came out because people found unfinished code for the final boss of that tower and managed to fight it (though it used a huge gold snurp model)

[@AnaverdGaiden]

[@cyanamespace]

@@AnaverdGaiden nope it’s a remaster

[@BlitzkriegAP]

Is it that boss rush tower that was in the DS version with the dark sun? That was always there.

[@cyanamespace]

@@BlitzkriegAP they’re talking about the second one exclusive to the switch version

[@LleytonSPD]

For the record, it’s not actually what they do in terms of design changes that determines what is a remaster or a remake. Remake means built from the ground up, remaster means almost all of the same code and things. TTYD is a VERY similar experience, but it was built from the ground up so it is a remake.

[@Lunch_ROK]

I think another big reason why people loved the Swift Sail in Wind Waker HD was because it also automatically changed the direction the wind was blowing in, meaning once you get it, you don’t have to pull out the Wind Waker to spend 20 seconds at a time changing the way the wind goes, which is especially helpful if you just need the wind to change a slight way and you can just tilt your ship that way instead of playing the Wind’s Requiem just to go from N to NE Also Xenoblade Definitive would definitely be on my list of best remakes/remasters; the game’s biggest flaw was how bad the character models look, and Definitive just looks gorgeous. There’s also a lot of little optimizations that makes the game flow both faster and smoother (like speeding up Chain Attacks) and there’s an extra bit of story that gives a really popular character the proper closure she definitely needed from the base game

[@MrAweeze]

Chronicles is arguably the most overlooked game of the last 10 years. Truly a work of art. Would you say the extra content QoL changes warrant another purchase (idgaf about graphics)

[@GrandGurple]

Really? I thought DE was a huge downgrade in terms of character design, they look super anime to me and not in a way that fits. The original had an artstyle that felt more gritty like Vagrant story that really fit the tone the game was going for, while DE just felt uncanny.

[@ZombieAndroid]

[@anyroad5455]

I feel like Harvest Moon with rival marriages and Pokémon with Trainers who level their Pokémon, add so much to immersion in those games. Each of those series should have that feature in all of their respective games.

[@CanIswearinmyhandle]

It’s so sad they removed rival marriages and don’t seem to have any intention to put them back. It really added some life to the games, the characters don’t just care about me, they have other relationships. The only inconvenience I ever encountered was not being able to go to a certain part of town fir a while because it would trigger that harlet Sabrina stealing my man Vaughn right in front of me

[@johntheslider5802]

Off the top of my head, the issues with the Demon's Souls remake are that the atmosphere was watered down, the graphics were kind of generic looking and the gameplay was almost exactly the same as the original, even when changes actually would have been good. It's not that it's bad in isolation. It's really just that the original ends up being the more definitive version.

[@justcopyright2572]

The problem I have with some people’s complaints, is that they think Bluepoint’s changes were malicious, and spiteful, and thought they were better than FromSoftware, which is such a spit in the face to all the work bluepoint did to remake. I don’t really think the atmosphere is watered down in a place like tower of latria, it’s more of a different interpretation. The original prison of hope was made to make you feel stress and anxiety with the bug noises playing throughout the entire level. The remake is made to make you feel more melancholic and it feels more haunting, with the lady(can’t remember the name) is singing the song in the background. My interpretation of the new one is, based on the lady’s dialogue, she feels so horrible for the prisoners, that she tries to sing her song to calm them, even if it doesn’t work. There’s a lot more I can say but those are my main defense to the remake, I get why OG fans are upset with these changes, but just because something is different, doesn’t it’s automatically worse.

[@Jakco808]

The Katamari Remakes are AWESOME. Especially the 2nd one. It became one of my favorite franchises after playing

[@Peebs]

Such a fun and unique series!

[@strain42]

I understand that they removed the rival marriages because they didn't want to you be able to "lose" and miss out on marrying who you wanted to marry, which I can KIND of appreciate, but like...why not just make it so that once you're married, the rival marriages can still happen? I personally loved playing matchmaker as an extra sidequest after I got married in the GBA one. It also means the only way to keep Kai in town is to marry him yourself, which I don't necessarily want to do!

[@breakfastatmilliways]

I remember hearing it was also because Japanese fans didn’t like that someone would end up ‘lonely’ by virtue of you taking their intended rival marriage spouse. I feel like the easiest solution would be to have an extra option (maybe someone gender ambiguous like the rival farmer Jamie from Magical Melody, so that they could be eligible as a player marriage option as well without messing with anyone’s personal gender preference). The player could marry them, or they could be made to work with anyone who ends up alone. I miss rival marriages a lot so I may have thought too hard about this. 😂

[@Unfunnyjestr]

[@probs_unimportant]

Majora’s Mask 3D is my favorite game of all time so it’s always fun seeing people’s takes on Majora’s Mask 3D because that’s the one I played first so everything about the N64 version feels off. I still think both versions have pros and cons but you should play whatever one you can because it’s such an amazing game

[@animeartist888]

Personally, I didn't care much about the changes to the Bomber's Notebook, the addition of the alarm feature, and making the owl statues a proper save. Buuuut I was really disappointed by the Zora swimming and downright enraged by the bosses being changed so severely. The only time in my life that I've actually thrown my controller in anger was playing MM3D. And it happened twice. Those bosses were frustrating and awful where the originals were fun or at least okay. Odolwa was a bad enough change, but Gyorg and Twinmold were horrendous. I've been tempted to sell the copy I have because I'm fairly certain I'll never touch it again. At this point, I'm keeping it just for the collection factor because my N64 is busted and therefore cannot play the original.

[@Vladimir-u3o7x]

I quite frankly don’t understand the hate that Majoras Mask 3d gets. None of those issues are even remotely game breaking. It’s your choice not to like them. But I do think that you might be blinded by nostalgia.

[@Gh0stly_fell0w]

It is a good day when Peebs uploads a new vid

[@nickk3077]

I think the new save system is good for two reasons: It makes it easier for newcomers to enjoy the game more casually and this in turn create new Majora’s Mask fans. It’s on a handheld and having convenient saves is nice for short bursts of play.

[@RuiTsuki]

It's not even new, the statues were already there in N64.

[@zackarymartinez9235]

the statues always existed. fake fan.

[@AlexRN]

not new, those owl statues were in the original!

[@totalradlad]

@@RuiTsuki Yes, the statues were in the original, but they weren't permanent saves. They were temporary saves if you needed to take a break. Once you load up that file, your owl statue save is gone. The 3DS version got rid of the Song of Time saves and just made the owl statues ones permanent.

[@nickk3077]

@@RuiTsuki Why is everyone berating me so much? :( Though the owl statues were in the original game, PBG talked about how the system overall has changed since the N64 game and I was defending the 3DS developers' choice to make it different.

[@DigitalxGamer]

The Tingle Bottle is the best change in WWHD that isn't related to the Triforce and isn't the Swift Sail. It let you get missable pictographs for the figurine quest. That alone made it a HUGE change~ Plus, I still think Miiverse was such a fun platform. I always loved the Miiverse interactions~

[@Warri0rLink]

I love both versions of Majora’s Mask, and I think 3D doesn’t get enough credit for what it does right: The Bomber’s Notebook is a much more useful tool for people trying to 100% complete the game for the first time. The Song of Double Time lets you skip to the exact hour you need which cuts down on needless waiting such as for the Bomb Shop lady to get robbed at 12:00. Save points are huge for people who don’t have hours at a time to sit down and play through a whole 3-day cycle or maybe messed something up and want to retry without resetting the cycle. Just being able to equip four items without the Ocarina being one of them is super useful. They even gave the Circus Leader’s Mask (now Troupe Leader’s Mask) an actual side quest even if a seventh bottle may not have been the most necessary addition.

[@Vladimir-u3o7x]

I whole heartedly agree with you.

[@KumoThespood]

Honestly out of all the remakes/remasters in this video, heartgold is my absolute favorite. It was my first ever pokemon game and was an awesome start to my life long love for the franchise. Even if the games aren’t that good in many people’s opinions, I still have a fondness for the games (yup… even the ones like Brilliant diamond). But the one thing that the game made me never forget is the best starter ever to start this big adventure… Good ol chikorita, love ya buddy!

[@AnaverdGaiden]

To be honest, I actually prefer the original versions, even though I played them for the first time several years after beating SoulSilver. I just find them way more charming visually and musically.

[@stempest7218]

The problem people had with the demon souls remake was the change in the environment and character designs. As these are used for slot of world building and story telling in fromsoft games. For example the first boss in the prison level their lore says they charmed the people and that's how she gained power and in the original she looks nice but in the remake they make her look evil and scary which contradicts her lore.

[@AnaverdGaiden]

I mean, it looks and plays WAY better than the original so even with minor differences like that they don't matter too much

How peebs feels about Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire is exactly how I feel about Majora's Mask HD. I didn't play the original, but the remake was pretty good in my opinion.

[@Jlaps941]

Same here. There’s some *questionable* decisions in both and MM takes it a little further, but they’re still great games with lots of QoL improvements and a few weird changes that probably should’ve been left alone

I personally have no issues with any of the quality of like stuff that the added or changed. It’s why I will never play the n64 version of Majoras Mask.

[@cbpowell83]

Skyward Sword HD was a great port. The ability to use a controller instead of motion was amazing. It has a beautiful art style that really pops at higher resolution. Plus, it's buttery smooth with that 60 FPS. *Chef's kiss*

I only actually got exposure to OG N64 Majora's Mask through your old videos lol, I played it on virtual console a bit but played the 3DS one.

Second mention of Demon's Souls in 2024!!!!!!! 🤯🤯 30:23 I enjoy the Remake enough but the main complaints a lot of us have (myself included) is mostly art style and changes to atmospheric touches, which were a big part of the charm of the OG. So basically for most fans who value art style over graphics, the PS3 original is still the preferred version. So sort of like your Shadow of the Colossus take earlier in the video (which ironically also done by Bluepoint)

[@allencruz691]

What was the first mention?

[@bronzin1445]

In other words, it’s practically a non-issue for those who aren’t die-hard fans/purists. I mean I get it, the OG is more moody and atmospheric but to say the remake is objectively bad BECAUSE they altered the artstyle is being hyperbolic to say the least. The Remake is objectively better in nearly every-way imaginable including graphical fidelity and QoL improvements. The moody atmospheric vibes of the OG is more personal preference than anything honestly.

[@jokool_aid]

So, from what I remember, a big reason gambling has been removed from remakes (and in general) is due to changes in the rating system (because "think of the children!!!). Double checking and credit to Bulbapedia for a lot of this info: Starting around 2009, the Pan-European Game Information (PEGI, which I believe is the European version of the ESRB ratings here in the US) made it so that video games that had any form of gambling would receive a stricter rating. That meant changes in the Pokémon games (and I assume the Mario RPG remake as well here) had to be made in order to still have an E for everyone equivalent rating for them. Game Corners have since been phased out, but fun fact: apparently the Japanese version of Heart Gold and Soul Silver do have slot machines. The Voltorb Flip game is something exclusive to releases outside of Japan most likely to get by the rating board. Also, the virtual console releases of Red/Blue/Yellow and Gold/Silver/Crystal still have the game corners as they were in the original releases, so they have a PEGI 12 rating instead of the usual PEGI 7 (so T for Teen up from E for Everyone).

[@Inkmonkeywoodis]

As an avid Pokemon fan it can not be understated just how much of an achievement Heartgold and Soulsilver are/is.

Easily my favorite remake of anything ever. And your Pokemon follow you! What a great feature!!

[@DigitalxGamer]

14:28 - While I agree that I think the Zora swimming change is a bad change overall, I think the point of the change was to give the player more control when they're just swimming around enclosed spaces. It's VERY hard to control the Zora in places like the confined water areas of the Great Bay Temple or the narrow, twisting corridors of the Pirate Fortress basement.

Man, Peenut butter gamer is the best, love you since 2016! You're my childhood.

[@gavinbrennan8969]

I'd love to see a remake of Harvest Moon DS that doesn't have an aneurysm and destroy itself whenever you look at it wrong.

[@Alex-95-Gaming]

Your Alpha Sapphire Nuzlocke was what inspired me to get into Let's Plays myself!

[@lunch_trey]

I'm fairly certain Majora's Mask always had the Owl Statues to save, even in the original.

[@bluemoon-hg12kd]

It did, but it forced you to turn off the game. And it was only a temporary save. Once you reloaded it, it would no longer be saved. In the remake, you could save whenever you want without the limitations.

[@utromnation8894]

People are so overly critical on Majora 3D. Improved visuals/frame rate, added utility for the bomber’s notebook, a more convenient save feature, gyro control, etc. and yet all anyone can talk about are the swimming controls and boss eye balls. I know I’m in the minority but 3D is my ideal way to play MM.

[@tanukismokingweed]

The visuals are downgraded, unless you mean graphical fidelity, but the entire artstyle is lost with the new visuals. Don't give a shit about the lower framerate of the original, MM was designed around it. Bombers Notebook is more like a checkbox, there's only a few instances where it's even useful and absolutely no instances if you actually replay the game and know where stuff is. Knowledge of the game cuts down on lost time, another thing that's barely an issue if you know how to route a 3 day cycle and you aren't wasting time. I will admit the gyro is really nice but now PC decomps are adding mouse aim and gyro so that kinda nulls what the 3DS version has. You really tried, but nah, the 3DS remake is inferior in so many ways. If it was someone's first experience with the game yay for them but they played an incredibly downgraded version imo.

[@Vladimir-u3o7x]

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

[@estebanbucaro5637]

As a person who has only played the 3D port of Majora's Mask, I didn't know some of the differences between the port and the original. I kinda want to try the original now.

[@Vladimir-u3o7x]

I have no desire to play the originals, there not for me. I prefer the quality of life updates that 3d version provides.

[@forestdragonwing7552]

I heard that another change for Majora's Mask 3D is that you can skip time way more freely than the original, since in the original it had to be 6 or 12 hour intervals (I forget). That could be a good or a bad change depending on how hardcore of a fan you are.

[@Vladimir-u3o7x]

Correct. You can choose any time of day to move I’m mm3d.

[@redwizxrd]

Thank you for including SotC I fucking love that game. One of the greatest love stories ever told through the medium of gaming. I got so into the story I found a local retro game store just to get ICO for my Ps3 so I can continue experiencing that world

[@GatorBoyCL]

Happy 4th of July Peebs!

[@sablen1319]

Your experience with Dead Space was great to listen to. It’s one of those things were the more you play horror games the less they scare you unfortunately

[@Upthemeds]

The fact with the swift sail you didn't have to stop and change the wind for the direction you needed. That was great

[@Kayayayaya]

I love that Rocco tweet so much. He's one of the GOATs.

[@ChickenPerm]

💯

[@cuddlysharkcandy]

I will say, Majora's mask did have a lot of quality of life changes that I do think were great, such as being able to go to whatever hour you want to, bombers notebook is more intuitive and bombers help find quests you haven't completed yet. Arrows in great bay temple help keep you from getting lost. Though the zora swimming change was awful and I also hate the ikana temple fight.

[@Vladimir-u3o7x]

The zora swimming isn’t bad. People just don’t want to remember to bring a bottle of green potion when they need it. I personally can’t remember one time when I ran out of magic when zora swimming.

Great video! Honestly a pretty entertaining idea for a vid seeing your opinions on these remakes

[@GrayVos]

Peebs doing video game videos. Rare, but appreciated😊

[@rooislangwtf]

23:57 for some reason the first time I saw the "Adventure, Yeah!" (on the og video) really tickled my funny bone, probably one of the hardest laughs I had from a PBG video

[@SoloTheFirstHunter]

oh excited for new video

[@BreMue]

Not the ephemeral rift mention 😭 Those who know:💀 Those who dont know: ☺️

[@Slappy985]

Something interesting about Shadow of the Colossus for PS4 its the same overall but there's an added quest to a new weapon because of a theory someone had about a certain structure that looked like you could enter it somehow and get something out of it. I don't remember too many details from this but that's what I have heard, so that's pretty cool.

[@mattb6522]

Good video! Yeah, Majora's Mask is my favorite Zelda, but the 3DS one just had so many unnecessary changes! Luckily, there are patches for the 3DS version to restore a lot of the changes back to the original. Bettet yet, there is now a PC port that will allow for mods so you can pretty much customize your game however you want to play!

[@Vladimir-u3o7x]

None of the changes to the 3DS version of majoras mask actually hurt the game.

[@mattb6522]

@@Vladimir-u3o7x For me, the boss changes were unnecessary. They didn't needed to add eyeballs to say "hit me here". Also, I felt they made the Zora swimming worse than the original. They also didn't need to add indicators for the Ice Arrows. The only things that I'd say were an improvement were the Bomber's Notebook and the gyro aiming for arrows. Everything else felt just gratuitous.

[@VintageFenrir]

13:33 I thought the only version that didn't let you save by the owl statues was the Japanese n64 version, but all other versions including the USA N64 version did let you save by the owl statues

[@Vladimir-u3o7x]

The owl statues were only temporary saves on the n64 version of Majoras Mask.

[@darkbbbbbbb]

Hey Peebs, thanks for making vídeo game content again. Been following you since PBGameplay! Much love from an old fan.

[@kevlarvest7375]

I'm actually glad Link's Awakening was top tier, it was insanely impressive. But I'm glad to see a screenshot of Link's picture from DX, that to me was a great remake/remaster. The fact they added not only a new dungeon but a photo shop with unique events just to use the GameBoy printer was epic as a kid.

[@idkwhatimdoingwithmylifehahaha]

damn i stopped watching these years ago. so glad to see everything looks the same. love it peebs

[@SammyBoiBeThicc08]

Watching your Alpha Sapphire playthrough at 1am is a fond core memory of mine.

[@elizabethmartin6707]

27:30 Personally, I like the Voltorb flip game way more than the slot machines in Pokémon Heartgold Soulsilver

[@jolteonrpgplayer2751]

I find it kinda funny that Majora's Mask used to be PBG's favorite Zelda game, and now it's Wind Waker where, for me, it was the exact opposite

[@skyrindude]

Genuinely great video! Loves it

[@PaddyFlatts]

Demon's Souls Remake is inferior to the original solely because they changed the Adjudicator boss theme.

[@scottshanbom]

Majora’s Mask 3D is how I first experienced the game, and I really ended up enjoying it personally. I think that it worked better for those who didn’t have any prior experience on the N64 to compare it to

[@AnaverdGaiden]

I dunno if that's exactly a badge of quality for it, though. "This McDonalds cheeseburger is pretty tasty as long as you don't know what a burger is supposed to taste like!" xD

[@scottshanbom]

@@AnaverdGaidenI mean, I know what 3D Zelda “tastes like”, I’ve just never played the original releases of OoT and MM. My personal favorites are Twilight Princess and the switch games

[@AnaverdGaiden]

@@scottshanbom You definitely should check out MM N64 at some point, since it's such a better experience. I'm kinda meh on the Zelda Switch games, honestly. I feel like the open world design has done an utter disservice to Zelda. Now there's no good dungeons, no memorable bosses, and a frankly pretty bland world and NPCs. Plus there's no difficulty progression anymore since you can do anything first, so the entire game is the Great Deku Tree in terms of difficulty and you never get any more items to make the puzzles more complex. The shrines are fun (except for the lazy ones), exploration is fun, and I like the Zonai devices, but that's about the most I can praise about the games. I feel like they're more of Minecraft-esqe sandbox experiences than actual quality Zelda games.

[@Vladimir-u3o7x]

For me, the n64 version of Majoras mask would not be a better experience in my opinion. The 64 lacks the quality of life updates that I like about the 3d version of the game. The n64 version would just be a chore to play through for me.

[@leorivera4272]

Pbg casually blowing my mind with that up-hill/downhill debate. Never thought about it like that 😂

[@dragonslayer060]

Loving the video game content :) keep it up man. Also, you saying Majoras Mask might not be your favorite Zelda game anymore hit me like a truck, but i respect it

[@thekingcoltonious]

I'm sure others have commented this, but "we

[@JmanBro57]

i've always had the same issue with the "downhill" term of phrase. i've heard it used before as a term for things getting worse, but i've definitely also heard the opposite, with "downhill from here" meaning "it's going to get easier" (like when you go down a hill)

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

Both are correct. Downhill from here being bad is because you used to be at your peak. Downhill from here being good is like you're on a bike and don't have to try hard to move forward like you did uphill.

RE 4 on Wii is a fantastic port just on its own. Still my favorite way to play.

[@agamernamedjoe]

[@SklentSizer]

Shadow of the Colossus is one of my all-time favorite games, I've played the original and the remake countless times, and I honestly have almost nothing to complain about with the remake. I thought the lighting/mood/atmosphere were just fine, the framerate is a lot better, and I've heard complains about bugs, but I've barely run into any, so I had a great time with both.
