these games got it done better the
second time around welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 video game
remakes alright then let’s go out on top
KITT it’s time to take your place in
your street just so there’s no confusion
remakes are games that stayed mostly
true to the original storyline and
gameplay while making technological
improvements with the advancements
available in hardware games like XCOM
enemy unknown and 2013’s
tomb raider are considered reboots and
games like Super Mario 64 and gta3 our
3d transitional games those categories
are for lists of their own we will be in
touch commander we’re also excluding
games that use the same code and just
upscaled to HD or only improve the
textures as those are remasters so if
you don’t see a remake on this list it’s
probably because it didn’t live up to
the original game I didn’t get for the
number 1 my back on mobility number 10
pac-man championship edition
we’re starting things off with the
famous yellow Chomper in his iconic
return to the gaming scene beating all
the dots in the maze avoiding the ghosts
and eating giant pellets to eat them not
still all there what’s different is that
now when you clear one half of the
screen that side changes layout in this
intense spore rush game also worth
noting is the game’s DX Edition which
has you chased by dozens of gos number 9
Metal Gear Solid the Twin Snakes Hideo
Kojima’s original ps1 classic got a
complete makeover on the Gamecube
finally giving the characters faces the
dog don’t touch it and including
gameplay elements such as better enemy
AI bodies that no longer disappear and
the ability to now aim and shoot in
first-person did something happen
there’s an intruder ah really it places
a bit low on the list given the
controversial decision to give the
characters matrix-like moves but it
still balanced accessibility with
reverence for its source material very
nicely now we’ll see if the man can live
up to the legend number 8 punch-out this
was little max glorious comeback run and
the game that got him an invitation into
the latest Smash Brothers game on the
Wii U and 3ds rock’n’roll baby rock you
roll that sucka didn’t even stand a
chance
punch-out for the wheat retains the
addictive gameplay and characters of the
original NES game while giving the
characters hilarious over-the-top
personalities and a sweet multiplayer
mode
until I find that we’re apparently or
were you weird areare you crazy little
Plus you can choose to use either the
classic NES layout or go true boxer with
Wiis motion controls will sit out back
gone
push it up keep it up Matt keep it up
number seven the secret of monkey island
special edition the original
point-and-click adventure is considered
a classic but sadly the game hasn’t aged
very well how appropriate you fight like
a cow enter the special edition where
the graphics were completely redrawn and
along with an orchestral soundtrack the
characters now have voice acting that
really captures the writings original
humor you are glad to be dead oh yes sir
I feel so lucky that you wouldn’t happen
to capture my ship that murdered me and
everyone Hey yes yes sir most
importantly the interface received a
much-needed redesign allowing for a more
streamlined experience she was so good
to me always conveniently losing those
Health Board reports for a small
consideration of course number six NBA
Jam the game that set a new standard for
sports games got a new lease on life in
2010 with much more fluid and hilarious
animations and more off-the-wall
commentary and he just got a mouthful on
second knuckle sir
the Wii version of the game also
included the remix tour with hilarious
power-ups new camera angles and boss
battles in the form of one-on-ones I
realize there’s a lot to cover with this
game so we recommend checking it out for
yourself
number five tomb raider anniversary the
original tomb raider was groundbreaking
but suffered from stiff gameplay which
kept it off our top ps1 list why am I
not surprised you got your job I got
mine
thankfully the much-needed remake
revamped the original using the engine
from tomb raider legend
Lara is now much more acrobatic and the
combat system is more intense as well
taking the story and levels of the
original with vastly improved controls
it’s a good entry point if you haven’t
played a Tomb Raider game before I’m
afraid you’ve been misled I only played
this ball number for Bionic Commando
rearmed no not the 3d version with the
most absurd plot twists in videogame
history
we’re talking about the 2d tribute to
the original NES game retaining the epic
code shot arm swinging gameplay from the
originals and set to the theme of a
hilarious 80s action movie
rearmed also boasted brand new weaponry
and co-op play all of which are
guaranteed to get you hooked on the
experience number 3 metroid zero mission
Nintendo’s revisit to samus’s first
mission is one that was really needed
refining the combat to feel similar to
Metroid Fusion
as well as the inclusion of waypoints an
in-game map and a proper save system
instead of passwords
oh and brand-new stouts action to change
things up a bit while it’s a little bit
shorter compared to the other entries in
the series the new features and levels
in this game make it almost
unrecognizable to its original
counterpart faithful though it remains
number two pokémon HeartGold and
SoulSilver gold and silver remain the
quintessential games in the Pokemon
series boasting twice as much content
and introducing more new mechanics than
any other game in the series
the only Pokemon game that can be
compared to gold and silver is HeartGold
and SoulSilver
utilizing diamond and pearls engine and
having a vast amount of postgame content
that not even the 3ds X&Y can compare to
these games with the complete package
and then some before we get to the
all-glorious number one spot let’s see
what other games we enjoyed a second
time around
number one resident evil’ the original
was great but had terrible voice acting
and was not very atmospheric what is it
blood hope this is not Chris’s blood
this GameCube remake was completely
rebuilt from the ground up and is the
prime example of a true survival horror
game Wesker very much improved visuals
that still look amazing today rewritten
dialogue and the inclusion of even more
chilling monsters and story arcs this
game comes highly recommended hope this
is what you wanted thank you
do you agree with our list don’t be
silly which second attempt did you enjoy
the most
for more remastered top 10s published
