Reissue

A reissue (often informally referred to as a remake) is a term that refers to any newer version of a previously released video game. There are five main categories of reissues: remakes, ports, enhanced ports, re-releases, and retools.

Remakes
A remake is a game released usually long after the original game, on a new system, with updated graphics to fit with the new engine capacities, and additions brought to plot and gameplay (all these conditions may not be met in every case). They generally have a new name.

Ports
A port is a game released on a different platform than the original game, with some minor changes such as new controls or new graphics to fit the new system. Compilations are considered as ports since they're globally compilations of ports. Usually, they are very close to the original game and share the same name. A game released on the NES after its original release on Famicom is not a port, since the two consoles are considered identical.
