Personally I think just keeping their old titles intact for resale in collections should be enough (sup Wii Virtual Console). I'm not saying all remakes are bad, they just often have a tendency to lose their identity from what made them fun in the first place. We're not talking like with films making a black and white film in colour because they pretty much have to reprogram the entire game, so the temptation to change things around must be enormous or just be lazy bums completely and fuck it up like that sonic 1 remake.
Case in point space harrier which was remade in 3D with a bunch of other sega games I can't find examples for >.>:
Jam it back in, in the dark.
