I haven't played either game but I was wondering if this was a case where it makes sense to combine remake and original or count them separately according to our rules?

Remasters and remakes are generally counted together with the original game unless it’s a very significant overhaul like the Resident Evil remakes, the Metroid remakes, Final Fantasy VII remakes etc.

I guess I'll let you be the judge of it since I think you're one of the few/only people listing it.

Right, I forgot about that. It is basically a complete overhaul of the original game. They rebuilt the entire game from scratch using a new engine, retranslated the entire script, and redid pretty much everything else. The story is the same, but besides that nothing of the original game really exists in the remake anymore. For reference, the original looks like this:

and here's that same place in the remake:

Alrighty thanks! Sounds like they should be counted seperately then.
