Top 10 Video Game Remakes and Reboots

I know how directors lose their originality and bother making anything new and just remake a popular movie from the past, but of course most of them are bad and some are good. Video games are different, when a developer makes a remake or reboot of a franchise  most of the time it's awesome and sometimes it's bad. I have made a list of what I think are great remakes and reboots of video games, so let't begin.

10. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

 I want to tell the truth here and say that when the Nintendo 3DS came out. I had no idea it was a remake of another game of the zelda francise, but I manage to play the original later and both are amazing in their own way. I know I might get hated for this, but I prefer the remake better than the original and it's amazing. The graphics are great and 3D is mind blowing to look at and the reason it's on the bottom of the list is because there is nothing new added the only difference is the graphics, but it's still a great game that pays tribute to the original.

9. Yoshi Island DS

I know I know it's not a remake or reboot, but this counts for a reason. It follows the same formula than the original Yoshi's Island on the SNES. I would count this as a remake, it's a great game that offers lots of challenge and brings back good memories of the original. I do have to say that it's more harder and I never bother to go back to the game which is bad cause it got good praise. I still like it but it's really challenge, I suggest to go back to the original before playing the remake.

8. Power Stone Collection

I love power stone it's a fantastic fighting game and even though it's not the console version it's still a great game. This remake maybe a cheat since it's a collection of the original two games, but I think it deserves a good praise to have power stone on the go. and so remake " Welcome to the number 8 spot of my top 10 remakes and reboots"!

7. Ducktales: Remastered 

I love Ducktales, after finding out their was going to be a remake of the original game I was pump up to play it and after that it was great joy. I love the cut scenes and I love the game. This game feels like I'm watching a new episodes of ducktales and it's fantastic. I don't care what others think I will not change my opinion, also the theme song ohhhhhhhhhh my gosh. It's still catchy and incredible and I love it. The only nitpick I have is when they talk how come their mouths don't move. 

6. Punch Out!

 There is not really much to say about this except this is a great remake of the original NES game. This was brought to the wii just to be part of the wii fit family, it's great for exercising.

5. Mortal Kombat

I know that everyone think this is a great game and that it's a welcome return of the mortal kombat francise. I already did a whole video review of this game and it you want to check that out here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dJqRMy40Q4. It's an amazing reboot of the francise. 

4. New Super Mario Bros

When I found out there was a remake of the original Mario game I lost hope for Nintendo thinking that they ran out of ideas, but then after playing the game I knew that this remake is amazing. When they say remake it's a remake, pays tribute to the original a tries something new a succeeds it's a great game. if anyone finds a copy it's worth checking out.




3. Donkey Kong Country Returns

I have played the original game and still love it and the remake is way better. The remake doesn't take too much from the original. it feels new and it succeeds at becoming a game that ca stand out on it's own. I love playing the colorful and wonderful levels of this game, it feels so good playing this game. I will however say that it does have some unfair challenges but it's still amazing.












2. Super Mario 64 DS

 When I found out there was a remake of one of my favorite Mario games of all time. I was excited because it was the launch title for the Nintendo DS(when it came out at the time). I was crazy about this game when  I played it, but I will always prefer the original over the remake. I still love the remake and it shows lots of great stuff. Paying respects to the originals and adding 3 more characters to the mix, pick up this game because it worth playing on the go.







1. Street Fighter 4(Series)

I know I know it's a cheat to put the whole series of the street fighter 4 games and that it's still a continuation of the series, but Hadoken you got owned. I will count this cause it like the original street fighter 2 series of how there were so many updates of the games and they are still amazing. I think the updates are good but starting to milk itself with ultra coming out, but I still think street fighter 4 is a great return to the original street fighter games. If anyone says otherwise then HADOKEN!
