I recently discovered this channel. ExoParadigmGamer is a game reviewer that has done plenty of well put together and decently long reviews since 2013.

One of his main segments is Remake or Rebreak. Where he compares the original version of a classic game with a remake that came sometime later. This includes comparing the NES versions of the first three Classic Mario games, and the SNES versions of Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island with the Super Mario Advance series. He also did the same with the Donkey Kong Country trilogy and their remakes on GBA. Given this is a Mario saturated site there may be a lot of things he covers that you already know having played the games themselves and/or read the wiki. But if you've wanted a more detailed comparison (He even goes into things like if the controls make anything different or the music differences because of what the NES, SNES, and/or GBA's soundchips could handle) into what makes the remakes different then I'd recommend checking them out.

He's also done a similar retrospective with the Classic Sonic games. Doing a Remake or Rebreak for the Classic Trilogy in comparison to the Mobile ports by Taxman & Stealth. As well as the awful Sonic Genesis (Sonic 1's Port to the GBA). He's even gotten into the Adventure games & Heroes which he calls the Dreamcast era (Even if Heroes wasn't a Dreamcast game he explains why he considers it part of the Dreamcast Era in his review of Heroes), going as far as defending the games from the rather unfair backlash they have received in recent years. Though he still calls out the games both in the Classic trilogy and the Dreamcast era where it's due. Be warned that if you like Sonic the Hedgehog 2 the most out of the Classic Sonic games, he's rather very critical at times in his review and even considers Sonic 1 better. Though he still likes Sonic 2 overall.

He's also covered other franchise games including from Metroid, Star Fox, Megaman (Though both Star Fox and Mega Man reviews are more sarcastic ones where he acts like a parody of the Angry Video Game Nerd that purposefully mispronounces words (Like he calls Star Fox Stairfax) where he pokes fun at the biggest nitpickers towards those games), Ratchet n' Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, and Legend of Zelda. So if you're a fan of any of those franchises as well you can check out his stuff from there too.

Anyone looking for a reviewer that can give games that rarely get the analyzation these days just because of how old they are should have a nice time watching these reviews.
