This brings up an interesting point as to exactly what qualifies as a remake. Games like Resident Evil and MGS: Twin Snakes are pretty much 95%+ faithful to the original, and Metroid: Zero Mission is heavily-inspired-but-still-change-enough from original NES Metroid. I'd say all three definitely qualify as remakes.

However, Ninja Gaiden takes some game concepts and the main character from the original, but everything else is so completely and radically changed it could and should probably be considered an entirely new thing.

I think I'll go with Resident Evil GC as my choice, my jaw just dropped the first time I played the thing a couple years ago, at the time it just looked so much better and so much more incredible than anything else out there, so very radically different from the original which had come out only six years prior. It was like comparing Atari 2600 to Super NES, the gap seemed that improbably huge for a game platform separated by only one generation from the one the original was released on :o

A remake is a game that is just that, a remake of a previous game. Ninja Gaiden is an all new game in a series (although it's even arguable that it's part of the series). Do you call Contra Shattered Soldier a remake? No. Did you call Ninja Gaiden 2 a remake? No.

So what exactly is so fucking hard about the concept of a remake?

I wanted to put zero mission at the top, but I'll still have preference with super over the original. ;)

Resident evil on the other hand...wow.

I'm waiting for PS1 to show up.

This gets my vote as well. 3 modes of play, a godly soundtrack, and some of the most intense arcade action in the last ten years puts this at the top of my list.

I'd have to go wtih Resident Evil. It's one of the few games this generation that I've actually played all the way through like 5 or 6 times. Usually after I beat a game, I don't go back to it for a while. I played Resident Evil all the way through back to back to back.
