DIFFERENCES FROM ORIGINAL

HD, 4K support, higher resolutions and cleaner visuals. Surely better than the Wii or PS3 port in terms of gameplay as I didn't come across the supposed crashes of the Wii version and the loading screen mini-games have been added again after being removed from the PS3 version. I'm not really sure why they were removed but they're a welcome return as they make it feel even closer to the original.

End credits song "Reset" removed. Credits extended to include remaster staff and the Clover Studios staff have also been reintegrated into the credits after being absent from the PS3 version. What Capcom were thinking when they removed them is a mystery but it's nice to have them back.

OVERALL

There are no major drawbacks with this remaster although the removal of the fantastic end credits song is a shame. The visual improvements are nice and it's fantastically priced at less than half of what most AAA games release at these days. If you've never played this game before I would absolutely recommend it and if you have then now is a great time to pick it up again and experience this masterpiece once more with it looking better than ever before.
