I don't understand why anyone wants remakes of games that already look great. For games with graphics that didn't age well I completely understand, but for games that still look great the result of a remake is usually just to make it look polished in the most bland and generic manner possible.
Like the SMRPG remake, they took an old game that still looks great and has an incredible vibe and completely ruined the vibe by remaking it with Pixar-style graphics. Damn near every cartoon game these days tries to emulate Pixar, and no hate towards Pixar, but not everything need to look like fucking Pixar. Once the novelty of "OMG I'm playing a Pixar film!" wears off you're left with something bland.
And if you really wanna remake a game like SMRPG, try a style like claymation (obviously not real claymation, but CGI that approximates it). Or maybe like one of those old voxel games, or like Arcane, etc. There are lots of options to choose from that fit SMRPG's vibe way better than Pixar shit.

90% of the time, its so they don't have to emulate it or get a mod/unofficial patch to fix broken parts (Dark/Demons Souls for example).
Which is a decent reason for at least a port, but a lot of companies are in full hatred of porting their games and think they can double dip harder by remaking it entirely.
Its extremely dumb though, because Nintendo games specifically are so easy to emulate you can do so on release day for their games. So they are the worst ones to want remakes of. At least Xbox has minimal emulation capability and PS2/3 is finnicky, so wanting a port or remake has some ground.
TTYD still looks great but the original could use a remake and SMRPG isn't bad but I can see why they remade it.
If they want to do a remake so bad why not remake the original Legend of Zelda? They could do a Zelda All-Stars similar to the Super Mario All-Stars and have Zelda 1 & 2, LTTP and maybe some of the GameBoy ones to have the 2-D collection. They should also do some remakes of Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and maybe Twilight Princess.

The SMRPG remake really fucked with my muscle memory when it came to timed hits.
