[@gdawgs101]

I actually did not like Mario 64DS. Controlling Mario in a 3d space with a d-pad feels really bad. Even if you play it on the 3DS with the joystick, it still doesn't feel right because the game was programmed for 8 direction movement.

[@insomniacsnorlax]

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia It manages to remain incredibly faithful to the original (Fire Emblem Gaiden) while overcoming its most frustrating elements. The visuals are gorgeous, the soundtrack is beautiful and it was the first Fire Emblem game to have full voice acting.

[@ShigKirby]

Yeah I really enjoyed the game and the unique elements it brought to the table. I really got into the two adventures playing out at the same time coming together and everything was greatly enhanced. After the great inclusion of full voice acting, I knew expanding on it with Three Houses was going to be a winner. It's a shame that many people didn't seem to play SoV because it was a fantastic remake alongside Metroid 2 that year that really felt classic but included fresh new elements like the visual novel/dungeon crawling elements compared to the games in the series I had played beforehand that stuck to story sequences between battles sections. I knew FE2 was unique and took a Zelda 2 approach with a sequel that played differently but I found it very compelling with how they chose to update everything as someone who has no nostalgia for the original being that it was never released over here. I was someone who found the remake of the first game Shadow Dragon to be good and faithful but somewhat lacking in updates and enhancements compared to the GBA games to make it stand out more than it being the first classic game featuring the story of Marth. That made SoV all the more fantastic with how they approached remaking it for a new generation but made it feel faithful and contain the classic feel of an older FE game. I just hope they consider remaking Path of Radiance due to how rare and expensive it is. This year has had a lot of JRPG remakes and updated versions so I hope that more FE remakes will come after Three Houses to make some of these amazing games that made the franchise so iconic and beloved have a new opportunity to appreciate.

[@somasora7]

Yesss. Though admittedly, it definitely still shares some of Gaiden's gameplay issues. Here's looking at you, swamp maps

[@sourmeat7982]

I don't know man, the map design is still terrible

[@adaubu3063]

I can agree fe echoes is a solid remake. The things they added like new charcters, the combat skill system, and full voice acting were welcome changes. Some of them even now will seem to become Staples in the series. Also berkut was an excellent addition to the story. Not just because of the downward spiral that happens throughout the entire game but also he showed us what dumas power was (The mirror scene and his final boss fight). Also the music is good. Heritors of archadia is my favorite song in the series. And berkuts themes are also solid. I want the next remake in the series to be geneology because oh my if they put voice acting and cutscenes in it. It would probably become the best fe experience story wise in the series. And seliph for smash because it would mean geneology remake would be announced. The amount of hype the announcement would create would probably be compared to or surpass oh heck the leaks were real in the timeskip reveal. I would also be fine with binding blade or tellius remakes since there rather Japanese exclusive or hard to obtain.

[@partyharry7585]

It was amazing, best presentation, best character design/portraits but are we forgetting the terrible and tedious map design?

[@astraltraveller9988]

If there's a remake I would highly recommend to you, that game would be Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows of Valentia. This game is a massive leap when it comes to the 1992 Famicom game FE Gaiden and stayed true to that game. There's so much you could love with this game. The updated graphics, the story and dialogue, the soundtrack and THE VOICE ACTING is music to my ears, the 3D dungeons with it's fatigue system, the little bit of content with the amiibo, the post-game content and the introduction to combat arts. If you're still playing games on the Nintendo 3DS, all I'm gonna is this "PLEASE give this game a shot before the 3DS is about to reach it's deathbed". That's all. Stay safe and have a nice spring season. 👌😎

Gonna pop in here and say that while Echoes' presentation is off the goddamn charts and it introduced the Turnwheel mechanic that I will be forever grateful for, the fact remains that staying as true to the original as it did really didn't work out for the better in a some cases. The map design (one word: SWAMPS) and a few of the outdated gameplay elements *(especially* cantors) were definitely things that Intelligent Systems should have taken some risks on.

Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fuelled definitely deserves a place on this list. A graphical overhaul of the original game with added online play would have been great. Nitro Fuelled does that but also adds 21 tracks to the original's 18, a bunch of different kart types (42 and counting), 42 additional characters (and counting) and a whole host of customisation options for those karts and characters. It has also added new game modes and challenges for the most dedicated of players. It's not just great fun to play but also a clear labour of love by the developers. For the first four months it was out I played it pretty much every day and since then I've played it at least a couple of times each week. It's really great.

[@15Seili]

I agree with you on all of those parts but sadly, greed overcame the publisher/developer and they broke their promise to not implement microtransactions and keep it player friendly by introducing them AFTER they got all positive reviews and praise. That was one of the shittiest things to do and yes, it affects the gameplay since unlocking karts or characters, after that introduction, required more than double the amount of grinding than before. So sadly for me and many others, it should not be in a top 10 remake list.

[@MystiaLore]

I can totally see something like : "Hey Mr. Completionist, would you complete CTR Nitro Fueled ?" "Sure, what do I have to do then ?" "Get 101% in the classic game" "Okay, should be easy" "Beat Nitros Oxide on EVERY track in the game" "Oh that gonna be rough but I like the idea" "Beat Velo's Times to unlock a special decal on a kart" "Wait, who's this Velo guy ?!" "Oh and now you have to unlock every single characters in the game, get all the skins, basically empty the pit shop. We spare you the limited-time promotions for some karts" "Urks, this gonna take more time to complete than Persona 5 at that point ! Alright let's g..." "And finally..." "There's MORE ?!"

I was like 6 years old back then and had no clue, but the cover art made me suspicious. Still I bought it and just realised at home that it was the wrong game. Had lots of fun with it anyways - from today's point of view it's the better game anyway, since DK Land has too ambitious graphics and bad controls, that make it hard to play if you're used to the DKC trilogy ones. DK 94 though still plays fine and is really creative with all the puzzles. For me the definitive version of that original kind of Donkey Kong. The original is just way too short.

[@Easelgames]

TheRezro they make a new game. Same for crash. I love all these remakes but they should be done in those franchises

[@TheRezro]

@@Easelgames Spyro franchise was technically dead for over a decade with only exception in form of controversial Skylanders Academy (Spyro's Adventure shouldn't really be included here as he doesn't really play any role there). Remake of acclaimed games from four console generations ago was decent way to jump start new era. And for reminder they can't do the same for PS2 Era and Legend as both are seriously flawed. They would need make brand new game, the question is if we come completely with something new (what may or may not work) or pull best from mentioned and use that as transition to new era? All I would say here is that there is still story to be told. It is how I would do that (I use three act structure, what could be whole trilogy or one game, depending on needs). So: Act-1 A Hero's Tail - After events of reignited Spyro and Sparx back from vacations on Dragon Shores. They find own home in chaos and after swiftly defeating Gnork, they learn from young dragon Ember (who is main support) that Red Elder Dragon went insane and open tomb of Dark Aether becoming new Dark Lord. Other villains join his side and attacked. This would give us opportunity to reintroduce Elora, Bianca and Hunter as supporting cast. But most villains would fall relatively early and final fight and main fight would focus on Red. Before entering temple Ember coincidentally reveal that she is doughtier of Dark Lord, but Spyro ensure her that it doesn't matter. They enter temple and try disable weird device over dark portal. Spyro shut down force field, but Red appear and battle begin. Spyro win and lecture Red that he shouldn't do that to his doughtier. Dum, dum dum. Red is confused and say that he doesn't have one and on top of that he actually attempt to shut down portal, but everyone ignored symptoms when it start opening, forcing him to use force. Spyro run to temple and see Ember attempting to destroy device. He tell them that she shouldn't do that, but dum, dum, dum. She start laughing as absolutely did intend to open portal, but couldn't shut down light aether force field, so she used Spyro. She break her necklace turning into black elder dragon. She destroy device and almost kill Spyro, who is saved by Red. Act-2 Eternal Night - Red is badly hurt, so he has no other way as give his fire aether power to Spyro, who as purple dragon can master every form of aether. He also tell him that his name is Ignatis and that black dragoness name is Cynder. This time dark aether corruption spread over whole land an Spyro need find other Elder Dragons as only they could could defeat Dark Lord again and seal portal. But they are lazy or something, so they dump they powers on Spyro. Because this time Spyro and Cynder actually has history, they encounters would be more common and both sides would try convince each other (she would usually send mid-bosses and make power showcases). Also after final battle, dum dum dum... Spyro try save her but both are pulled into dark portal. Act-3 Dawn of the Dragon - Spyro and Cynder are saved by Chronicler (real black dragon), who Spyro initially incorrectly mistake with Dark Lord. Chronicler reveal that he and Malefor fight over control of dark aether who try usurp power form him, but now neither has advantage. Young dragons are only ones who can tip over balance so he intend keep them under his protection, though sadly they world would fall under control of the Dark Lord. But young dragons don't agree and escape traversing between dimensions (we have light, then dark and now weird..er versions of they world). Then young dragons finally confront Malefor finding truth about ourself. This Star Wars rip of is good enough, so we don't need change much (though I would make some Skylanders reference, because not everything there was bad). Anyway, Malefor is defeated, young dragons reborn in new reality and considering his work as finished Chronicler give his position to Ignatus (what I remind is canon), so he become new ruler of Underworld. But that is just my. If Activision would be smart or pull another hack is up to them.

Odin Sphere Liefthrasir is an amazing remake. It remastered the art, made it widescreen, redisgned some sections of the stages, added mini-bosses, added a chef in the middle of the stages (which is a lot bigger of a benefit than it initially sounds like), and vastly improved the frame rate. Oh, and I guess completely revamping the entire battle system to make it much faster, much flashier, and much smoother while still giving you the option to play in the more sedately paced OG style should also be mentioned. Similarly, it's spiritual sequel got a really good remake/remaster in the form of Muramasa Rebirth, which have the option to have jump mapped to a face button instead of just pressing up (which real it makes the gameplay better, IMO), gives widescreen support, and gives a much better English translation than the Wii original. And if you count the Rebirth-exclusive DLC, you get pretty much an entire game's worth of new characters, each of whom have their own unique playstyles, stories, bosses, and two emails each, and intertwines with the original story as well, for about 20 bucks total of you picked up each of the four chapters in their release date.

[@TheMetalOverlord]

But Odin Sphere Liefthrasir is not a remake, it run on the same engine and use the same assets as the original game, it's just an improved version of the original one, something like the recently released Persona 5 Royal. Same for Muramasa Rebirth.

[@lnsflare1]

@@TheMetalOverlordMuramasa Rebirth, you're probably right about, but Odin Sphere Liefthrasir didn't just remaster the graphics and tweak the controls, it completely rebuilt the combat mechanics from the ground up, almost to the point where your practically playing a different genre altogether. It's basically the difference between playing Final Fight and Bayonetta more than Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal.

[@TheMetalOverlord]

@@lnsflare1 I know the combat is completely different, but it's still not a remake, because it's the same game running on the same engine and using the same assets, a remake instead must run on a new engine and rebuild all the assets anew(thats literally the meaning of the word remake). I think a correct definition of it is overhauled porting, that appened alot in the past, look at Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix, the gameplay is completely reblanced and has a different feeling with towns of new abilities to use, but was still the same on his core running on the same console, i was just an enhanced/overhaulsed version of the same game. Remember, just because something is different in another version of the same game doesn't mean it can only be a remake or a remaster. Another example is Metal Gear Solid 3D on 3DS, it's basically the same game running on the same engine with just touched up textures, but the gameplay is REALLY different from the original MGS 3 on PS2, it look more like MGS 4 on PS3, but it's the same game, not a remake or a remaster, just an improved/divverent version of the same game.

Fire Emblem Echoes, Shadow of Valentia is one of the best remakes in my opinion, Builds upon the game it was based off while also expanding upon the series its from. it introduced Full Voice acting to the series and took the usually static 3D Models from the 3DS FE Games and gave them beautiful animations in battle, as well as improving the entire battle system to perfect the Tactical turn based Fire Emblem Battle system. the game also boasts one of the best OST's ever made. It will always have a special place in my heart as one of the most enjoyable and memorable games ever made and one of the best games on the 3ds

[@spartantnt1023]

It was the only Fire Emblem game i dropped out of boredom, and will never finish. It's inherent lack of strategy elements versus it's predecessors, and laughable difficulty and class balance marks it as an awful gameplay experience, ultimately ruining what could have been a good game. It homogenized and oversimplified everything, and if i could rollback most of its decisions, so they would be forgotten by later games i would.

[@Danb-fk5iw]

@@spartantnt1023 Echoes' root issue was that gameplay-wise, it was a bit too faithful to Gaiden. None of the terribly-designed maps were changed, and some of its more annoying aspects were left untouched. But I will say that outside of Dread Fighters still being the single most disgustingly broken class in the game (barring *maybe* Killer Bow bow knights), quite a few of the other classes did get rebalanced. Archers traded their effectiveness against armored units for effectiveness against fliers, and Falcon Knights don't just delete any terrors they fight anymore. If you don't grind and play on Hard, I'd say it offers a decent challenge, though (unless you're not going for a no-deaths run, in which case just throw Alm at everything - oh, wait, you can't, you're doing Celica's route). I also appreciate them keeping the weapon triangle out of the game, since there are no playable axe units and lance-wielding classes compose almost half of the opposing forces post-act 2. Not to mention that IntSys learned from Shadow Dragon's mediocre reception and made sure to implement support conversations. Don't diss the turnwheel, by the way. That thing was probably the single best anti-frustration feature that the devs ever added to the series.

[@TDOMMX]

I've gotta show some love for the underrated *Ys* series, and Falcom's excellent remakes of its first four titles (all of which are now available on PSN, Steam, and GOG): I) & II) *Ys I & II Chronicles* is a Super-Mario-All-Stars-style remake of the first two Ys titles. Gorgeous graphics, a superb soundtrack, and plenty of attention to detail make this entry the definitive version of the series' debut entries. It's no surprise that these titles keep getting re-released -- they're great for short bursts of fun. III) *Ys - The Oath in Felghana* is an amazing accomplishment: it takes the arguably-worst game in the series and rebuilds it completely, turning it into the best entry by far. Imagine if Nintendo remake Zelda II: The Adventure of Link using the A Link Between Worlds engine -- _eight years_ before it released A Link Between Worlds -- and created the best Zelda game in the process. The Oath in Felghana is far more ambitious than a remake of Wanderers From Ys needed to be (and mops the floor with Taito's attempt at a remake released that same year). IV) *Ys - Memories of Celceta* is a curious case. Since Falcom outsourced development of Ys IV to two different studios (resulting in two wildly different games), they decided to make their own 3D remake that synthesizes the events in two wildly diverging stories into a single timeline. Imagine if Nintendo decided to take the Philips CD-i Zelda games and remake them in the Ocarina of Time / Majora's Mask / Twilight Princess style, and improve the legacy of the games. I'd be remiss not to mention Falcom JDK's incredible music. It's no exaggeration to call it "aural sex". There's damned good reason why those of us who grew up with the TurboGrafx (or joined in on the fun shortly after the TG-16's heyday) absolutely love Falcom's work. Also, Makoto Shinkai handled the opening animation for the remakes of the first three games. If you're a fan of Your Name, Five Centimeters per Second, or Weathering With You, you can see how he got his start as an animator.

[@SuperSSSSooonniicccc]

I highly agree! Ys I & II Chronicles is pretty nice! While Ys I was a bit clunky, Ys II is a very great game with interesting mechanics like the Roo transformation, the good attention to detail on NPC dialogue interactions, and a very nice clean up of the presentation! I also just finished the Trails in the Sky trilogy and I look forward to playing Trails from Zero later on due to the fan patch just coming out! Check out the trailer they made, where they remade Falcom's trailer in English!

[@burnout713]

Personally, I think the new controls are horrendous.

[@Xagzan]

While I am looking forward to playing the RE3make and FF7R, I have to say, there was a charm to the fixed camera perspectives in older games that the new ones just lack. It's incredibly frustrating, the way people arbitrarily view that type of visual design as outdated, having no place in today's games. Holding the mistaken belief that, when it comes to what the player can see and control, more always = better. And of course the industry follows suit on that opinion. But there is art in restriction. Where many might call the fixed style inferior, I call it having focus. The camera doesn't have to be flitting around all the time. Using fixed perspectives can also highlight the environment and evoke mood in different ways than when the camera is simply always over the character's shoulder, a singular viewpoint. Especially in a horror game. My point is, no matter how detailed and impressive modern game environments may be, they're not "better" than the fixed, pre-rendered backgrounds you see in the first REmake, or the PS1 FF games. Those had a quality like paintings, gorgeous mise-en-scenes. And to say they've become obsolete and have no place in games today is as absurd as saying paintings are obsolete because we have photos or movies now. For RE and FF to abandon them completely was disappointing and unnecessary.

[@mistertagomago7974]

I agree with the idea of what your saying, but fixed camera angles combined with tank controls always results in boredom for me.

[@Xagzan]

@@mistertagomago7974 Those aren't strictly necessary. The old FFs didn't have tank controls. Although I can see the argument for them in a horror game. Making movement more difficult to heighten tension. Boredom isn't a complaint I'd ever heard though.

Bowser in Bowser's Inside story lost clear hexagon lines that were present on his shell... And his jaw become forever dislocated on his battle sprite - as in he NEVER CLOSES IT...

Worse still, it sold horribly and was likely the final nail in AlphaDream’s coffin.

Nicely done giving Twin Snakes some cinematic appreciation. That's what it was there for. True, also that hardcore fans find it poor, but we're not all hardcore. So each to their own. Loving this channel! COMPLETE 2020

The Greatest Remake of All Time goes to: The Legend of Dragoon I do not care if it hasn't been made yet, check this space in the next 1-40 years.

The original was average at best imo, so they would have to change quite a bit to achieve that status.

As soon as the soul silver logo came up, I was already cheering you. I loved that game, and though it was the third one I’ve played, I absolutely loved it, and it was the only one I really put a ton of time into.

Ugh could have went without that FF VII Remake footage.

I personally can't wait for you to complete Resident Evil 3 Remake. The classic is my favorite game of all time, so of course we had it pre-ordered and my SO and I stayed up all night to finish the story in one go. The weapons and items you can unlock for subsequent playthroughs make completing the game just as fun as the original, but with all of the modern niceties of RE2R added in alongside some other additions found in RE3R. It truly is a game meant to be replayed.

My favourite remake is megaman maverick hunter x metroid zero mission and kh re chain of memories

[@DukeofGames50]

Jirard play maverick hunter x on his let's play channel. But keep in mind that (last I checked) the playlist doesn't have all episodes in it so you'll have to do some clicking
