It's more then just a remaster, though just because it looks decent today, doesn't mean it can't look better.

But it does include more content as well.

I was going to comment here that it's not a lot of additional content as far as i can tell, and hope it's not more then $19.99, and it, indeed, is $19.99...but i gotta be honest, pricing seems....odd....
