A reissue (also known as a re-release, a retool, a port, or a remake depending on how much was changed) is a term that refers to any newer version of a previously released video game. This can be done with varying level of change, the result ranging from an identical game (e.g.: Mario's FUNdamentals) to a completely remade game with improved graphics and additional content (e.g.: Super Mario 64 DS).
