IGN writes: "Next month Kirby returns to the DS in a remake of the Super Nintendo game Kirby Super Star. The Ultra version adds wireless multiplayer and co-op play and adapts some of the controls for the touch screen. On offer are six short platform adventures and three multiplayer-focused mini-games. We've played through the first platformer, Spring Breeze, and the mini-games.
"Breeze" is right -- we beat this one in about ten minutes. Of course, it's meant to ease the player into Kirby Super Star. There are four short stages, each lasting a couple minutes: Green Greens, Float Islands, Bubbly Clouds, and Mt. Dedede. Action unfolds on the top screen while the bottom displays your energy level, remaining lives, and the current stage. Double jumping allows Kirby to float, and the L and R buttons block attacks. Our hero can go underwater, and when he does he snorkels with a face mask and breathing tube. Little details like these give Kirby Super Star Ultra a lot of character."

Many decades have passed within the ever-evolving industry of games, with many classic experiences being left in the shadows of the current generation. Fortunately, the developers of these classics do not overlook the wants of the fans and take away precious time to reinvigorate classics within the industry. Remasters, or remakes, have flourished recently within the gaming scene, letting gamers re-experience their most beloved titles. Losing the inventive beauty of the original titles is not something one should worry about. As long as a game has a large enough fanbase, developers are likely to remaster it, whether it be a quick cash grab, or to test the waters for a new entry.
Persona is a weird one on all accounts of the series, since they weren't really... I mean FES added a ton, but it was on the same console. And I wouldn't say the portable versions are remasters, per se, although Golden looks better on Vita than the PS2.
Dafuq is Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy doing in the thumbnail? That’s a remake, not a remaster. It was built from the ground up, not taking the same game and uprezzing it.
These journalists really need to know the difference between a remake and a remaster before writing such articles. They’re not interchangeable terms.
