I was looking for a complete listing of enhanced GBA remakes. I only found a list in wikipedia but it is very incomplete. Any ideas?
Well, what would you consider a remake? A enhanced port of a older game (AKA: A link to the Past, the final fantasy ports), or actual remakes (Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen, Metroid: Zero Mission)
Since there obviously is no "complete" list of ports/remakes/retells for the GBA, how about posting the "incomplete" lists you've found, Dr_Slump, then people can add to that. I'd say the definition of a "remake" is a little bit selective. If something gets redone with gameplay and levels that stays true to the original and without bringing in too many new elements that hasn't already become standard in more recent installments of the franchise. I would call it a remake. If the game itself acts as a medium to bring in many new elements to a franchise, creating an entirely fresh experience, it's a sequal, or in the case of it using the same story/setting as the original (and not being a follow up, alternate universe, prologue, whatever), you could say it's a "retell", I guess. If the game is a massive RPG with more story than you can write on the back of the box or on the first page of the manual, I'd say the rules are different and that as long as the story isn't completely altered (fleshing it out with added content or chaning around some minor details would not be considered "completely altered"), it's a remake... UNLESS the story is based on some sort of movie/book license that many companies/studios before have made their own titles based on.
