What games do you think should NEVER be remastered, because they're close to perfect as they are? (lemmy.world)

Any games where a remaster could never stack up to the original.

Inspired by this post, asking the opposite, what games do you think are worthy of a remaster: https://lemmy.ml/post/6091201

Honestly hard question because essentially you want a game that would be worse now. Something that playing now would tranish it then make it better even with updated graphics/movement. Or something you know the company would take a direction which would make it negative.

Something like redoing the original Super Mario 1, 2 and 3. Where the updated graphics and changes to game play takes away from the original pixel feel. As I feel Nintendo would probably use modern day Mario design.

Wasn't Mario remastered for SNES? I preferred those over the NES versions.

They were remastered (which I think hurts the original argument), but I as I understand, the question of which is better is pretty divisive

I am unaware of any difference other than the obvious visual one. I never owned a SNES back in the day, so I kinda missed All Stars, and even when emulating became cool, I never saw a reason to emulate a game that then made me choose which game I wanted to play, rather than just choose the ROM for the game I wanted.
