The REmake is substantially different. As you yourself noted, it has new plot twists and new gameplay. NEW. GAMEPLAY. You can't say it has new gameplay and then say its just a port. That's a contradiction. You might as well refuse to acknowledge Rygar as an NES exclusive because there was an Arcade version, even though the two are nothing alike.
Again, that's a matter of opinion. Any game that has new levels/areas or characters by its very definition has new gameplay. I just don't agree that simply adding new gameplay means something is a new or unique title, especially when lots of multiplatform games do the same thing, especially in this world of DLC exclusivity. If you want to count RE as a Gamecube exclusive in your collection, that's your call. I just don't agree and either do the other people in this thread including the OP apparently.
