A game using essentially using the original code is not a remake. I see the DS release as updated version. Updates and and improvments are not remakes.

Ratchet and Clank is true remake. Inspired by the original but built from the ground up.

Ratchet and Clank wasn't a remake. It was a reboot. Similar to Spider Man: Homecoming. It isn't a remake of the previous Spider Man movies, it is a new adaptation of the same character.

A remaster would be using the exact same game/engine and slapping HD on the game and/or some other minor improvements, such as improved audio.

A remake is when you update the graphics, implement more polygons, more game modes/content, updates to the story etc. 

Super Mario 64 DS had a completely different opening to the original. Overhauled graphics, more characters etc. 

A remake is when you retell the "same" story with complete new assets i.e. Tomb Raider anniversary, FF7 remake. For movies it would be all "The Thing" movies.

A remaster also counts as improved visuals, like textures, polygons and environments while at it's core it's the same version. Also similar to an enhanced port.

Mario 64 on the DS is rather an enhanced port of the original. Definitely not a remake, because at it's core it is the same game with additional content.
