| Was Super Mario All Stars the first Remaster? |

Would Pacman on Atari count? |
| Shaymin:
That's a demake. |
| ShyGuy:
Publishers refuse to make demakes nowadays... |

After refreshing my memory online, I think the early arcade games in the Space Invaders, Breakout, and Pac Man lineages have a decent claim of qualifying as remasters on technical and gameplay grounds, but I'm not familiar with Super Mario All Stars so I can't make a comparison with that. I'm going to pick that up now that I know what it is. I bought all the Mario NES 3DS ports, but I've only actually played MB, SMB and a little of SMB2. The business models are obviously different, so I don't think arcade games could satisfy a "definitiveness" test. |

I think some of those early arcade games might be limited sequels. I like Ian's definitions, but I'd like to add that a film remastering would be mostly sticking a laser through the film to making prettier and updating the sound. Pee Wee's Playhouse has a remaster on BluRay like that. I think when it comes to games, "HD" versions are technically remasters, while VC games are moreso ports, perhaps even in the truest sense if they're being emulated. |
