Remakes and ports

This link from the 2:01 to 2:20 mark very clearly explains what is considered a remake or a port. Please don't switch the game listings around to different locations that very clearly AREN'T those kinds. All-Stars isn't a re-tool and Deluxe isn't an enhanced port (MK8 Deluxe is, but SMB Deluxe isn't). If you add those changes again, you might get a warning or even blocked. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 14:35, 9 January 2018 (EST)

Incorrect information

That is a bad source. A Link to the Past Four Swords is not a remake. It is an enhanced port. What defines a remake is being built from the ground up. Unless Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is built from the ground up, it is classified as an enhanced port. I recall reading that SMB all stars transferred the data from the original NES titles and updated them. That is by definition not a remake.

Here is one post from the comment section that I found:

"A remake is when a game is made, again, from the ground up. Zelda 3 on GBA wasn't made from the ground-up, it is a port as the code of the SNES version was re-used for different hardware (and obviously changed to accommodate the transition). It would be monumental waste of resources and times to remake a game so precisely instead of simply porting it.

Virtual console games aren't ports, they are emulations..."
