Definitely remasters though, no remakes.

there's always armikrog
The adventures of buckaroo banzai.
That movie suffered from poor execution but it is a cult classic and could possibly reach a new generation if it were done correctly.
Omg shadow of memories! What a pick :) great game that I've heard barely anyone talk about :)
It feels like the rules to say an official english translation for Mother 3! Loved playing it (if Nintendo read this I did not play it)
Guiltily I'd also love a WWF Smackdown or Here Comes the Pain remaster, same arcade gameplay, same roster, or updated but just prettier and expanded! :)
I'm outing me as ancient:
Elite 2: Frontier.
elite dangerous is very close but it doesn't really capture the seamlessness you get from not having a landing mode or frame shifting. pioneer spaceship sim is a remake in the truest sense of the word, but a remaster would fix the ui issues the original had rather than just rolling with them.
This might be too many, but what I want to see remade, remastered, or given complete editions (although "complete editions" may not be relevant to the post topic; and some titles may not be considered niche but whatever) are Asura's Wrath, Bloodborne, Bujingai, Bully, Dante's Inferno, Dark Sector, Dead Rising 2 (and Off the Record), The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, the F.E.A.R. series, From Dust, God Hand, Grand Theft Auto IV, the first two Gungrave games, Just Cause, killer7, L.A. Noire, the Legend of Spyro trilogy, Like a Dragon Kenzan!, Mary Skelter 2, NieR: Automata, NieR: Replicant, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Ninja Gaiden 3, No More Heroes 2, Prototype, Red Steel 1 and 2, Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, Spec Ops: The Line, the original Splinter Cell (plus Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, Double Agent, and Conviction), Stranglehold, Tail Concerto, Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, Watch Dogs 1 and 2, and the original World Ends with You.
Primarily, the goals would be to either restore cut content or integrate separate DLC into the main package, offer enhanced graphics, take advantage of the 16:9 aspect ratio if originally released during the time of 4:3 screens or on handhelds, or fix bugs or address technical limitations that affected their original console or PC releases, alongside numerous quality-of-life improvements like anti-cheat and DRM removal and extensive performance optimizations. Also, we're still waiting for a PC release for Bloodborne.
I do agree with the Splinter Cell series yeah.
Although I'm confused, why did you include Nier Replicant and Automata? Automata has already a complete version, and Replicant already had a remaster/remake/director's cut version 3 years ago.
I would enjoy a copy of Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance with some spiffed up lighting effects, maybe the mech pack mechs included in the base game, and higher resolution copies of the FMV segments. I have my original copy but I can't get it to run on Linux. Wonder if there's a way to wash a CD game through Steam Play. Lutris...doesn't function as software? It's one of those magnetic "performance enhancing" bracelets, it doesn't do anything but it has convinced a LOT of people it does.
This may be stretching the premise a little bit but I would like to play the game they thought they were making when they made Ride To Hell: Retribution.
It doesn't need a remaster, but a PC port of Lost Odyssey would be awesome.
Subspace Continuum
Pong.
I want a remake of the original Harry Potter 1 and 2 games from the PS1. Not asking much, anything that looks nicer than this would do
How dare you, this Hagrid is beautiful
xenogears
One can hope for a properly fleshed out disc 2.
Half-Life. I know there's been some successful efforts to modernize it, but those only bring it up to Source 2 era.
I would love a fully modern remake. Modern lighting and raytracing could do great things for the detail of a headcrab infected scientist.
idk if it's considered obscure but I'd love to see the OG Viva Pinata get a remake (Or remaster atleast)
I would love that!
Heckin' Mega Man Legends 1&2.
Starsiege: Tribes, or Alien vs Predator (2).
Both had degrees of movement that I absolutely loved (Alien wall climbing in AvP).
I understand that I should probably check out Titanfall 2 for similar reasons.
I wouldn't say no to another Echo Night.
Megaman Legends Megaman Battle Network Jetforce Gemini
Make clue finders for adults! Same game, just adult level facts, puzzles, and math!
Trapt
Bloodrayne
Primal
