Thinking about those I’ve played, I don’t think remakes have ever detracted from the original to me.

The first time I finally completed Metroid 1 was shortly after Zero Mission (which had the cool effect that the locations of some power ups was still fresh in my mind).

I also enjoyed Samus Returns despite it missing the point of Metroid 2, and that didn’t make Metroid 2 worse in retrospect.

Kind of similar with Majora’s Mask 3D, Mario 64 DS…
