15 Best Video Game Remakes of All Time

Metroid: Zero Mission

Of course, before Samus returned, Nintendo remade the very first Metroid as Metroid: Zero Mission. Though short, the sprite-based graphics were a huge step-up from the original. The remake also introduced new mini-bosses, items, areas and even difficulty levels to the experience. If that wasn’t enough, the story also offers more exposition on Samus and her past.
