Well no it doesn't. People who still think it's a remake are still complaining after all this time that it's not similar enough to the original. Imagine if they called it a remake, but kept NnT as it is now. The outrage would've been much, much worse.

Wikipedia doesn't agree with that...

Definition
A remake offers a newer interpretation of an older work, characterized by updated or changed assets. --check--

A remake typically maintains the same story, genre, and fundamental gameplay ideas of the original work. --check--

The intent of a remake is usually to take an older game that has become outdated and update it for a new platform and audience.--check--

A remake may also include expanded stories, often to conform to the conventions of contemporary games or later titles in the same series in order to make a game marketable to a new audience. For example, Sierra's 1991 remake of Space Quest, the developers used the engine, point-and-click interface, and graphical style of Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and The Time Rippers, replacing the dated graphics and text parser interface of the original. However, elements that had not become dated, like the narrative, puzzles, and sets, were largely preserved. Another example is Black Mesa, a Half-Life 2 mod that improves in-game textures, assets and models, and facial animations, while taking place in the events of the original Half-Life game.


Hate me for this, but I would call it a remake...
