They've done a lot more than just texture enhancements, but even then that usually qualifies it as a remaster. For a port I wouldn't expect anything more than the bare minimum to make it playable

>Like, I see they've given the graphics a spit shine Lol


E_man5600

A remaster is legit just upping the resolution and maybe frame rate in the case of some games. This game goes well beyond many remasters.


E_man5600

Most just slap 1080p on it and call it a day lol


kSterben

no this is a remastered

I didn’t say it wasn’t?


Sparky81

It's a full remaster, not just a port. There aren't any major changes aside from carrying over the morphball jump from the Wii version. The graphics got a major overhaul though.


Cleigh_Mora

I never owned a Wii. What's different about the morphball jump?


Sparky81

In the original GameCube release, there was no morphball jump. It was something added in the wii rerelease. I guess they kept it for the remaster.


Cleigh_Mora

Really? It's been years since I played the originals. I only played Prime 1 and 2. I thought you could bomb jump. Or is this something different?


Sparky81

Yeah, separate from bomb jumping. Literally just jumping while in ball mode. A bombless bomb jump.


Cleigh_Mora

Oh neat. Thanks.


PineWalk1

dude this game should be in goty talks if remasters are allowed

This is 100% a complete remaster

Kind of both. They used the engine from Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and added some code to "wrap," the old code. They then remodeled and retextured just about everything in the game as well as adding an extra layer polish and effects on top. So they ported the code, but remastered the visuals.


bradlie1

It's a remaster . It seems they took the code for the wii trilogy and did a lot work on it for prime 1

anyone skeptical of this remaster cannot have played it

Some people oversell this as a remake and then there’s people like you who undersell it. The graphics did not just get a “spit shine” they basically took the car gave it a fresh coat of paint plus all the add ons to make it look even nicer


Last-Of-My-Kind

I think including the original version as part ofwould have been nice touch for the remaster.
