What are your top 5 most wanted ports/remasters/remakes?

- Start date
I don't care if it's a port or a remake, I just want SEGA to give me the following again:
- Sonic 3 & Knuckles (just sort out this Michael Jackson mess)
- Daytona USA 1 AND 2 (2 is a great game and not many people experienced it)
- Outrun 2 (just license Ferrari again or remove all the cars for generic ones if it's impossible)
- Jet Set Radio Future
- Sonic Advance + Rush and Colors DS Collection (these games can't just kept being stuck at dead platforms. Except Advance 2, that one I don't care about)
BONUS GAMES:
Sonic Colors and Sonic Unleashed. Unleashed is not a very good game but it's an important one for setting up the boost formula. And Colors is a very nice one.

The only one that I've already played that I kind of want is Pokémon DPPt. But even there I'm wary of what changes modern Game Freak might make.
I'd buy the rumoured Mario remaster collection as I haven't played Sunshine.
And a definitive version of Persona 3 with FES and Portable content would be great too as I haven't played that either and want the best of both without playing twice.
So:
1. Persona 3
2. Mario Sunshine
3. Pokémon DPPt

F-Zero GX: I just want a track editor and online play. It'll be the last racing game I ever need to buy.
Darklands: A modern interface and quality-of-life features would give me a better chance with this neat-sounding, old-school CRPG.
Suikoden 1-2: I know they re-released them for PSP or PSN in Japan. But I'd love a new localization released on PC. No further graphical upgrades needed.
Shining Force 3: I would like a chance to play the complete game, please.
Fire Emblem: Thracia 776: It's maybe my favorite FE and deserves an official global release. I sketched out some remake ideas in another thread.

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776: It's maybe my favorite FE and deserves an official global release. I sketched out some remake ideas in another thread.
- Quality-of-life enhancements: The most straightforward improvement would be to import modern FE QoL features like locking in different enemies' attack ranges and allowing the player to re-arrange units' starting positions.
- Fatigue options: I like the fatigue mechanic. But for a Thracia remake, I wonder if IS could address the recruitment problem (where a first-time player doesn't know if character A is needed to recruit character B in the next chapter and so can't make a fully-informed fatigue decision) by allowing the player to force-deploy a fatigued unit, without a stamina drink, at a severe stat penalty (e.g., all stats halved, including movement, and no XP gain during mission). The unit's fatigue would not reset, so it would still need to sit out a mission in order to recover its stats.
- Battle saves: Thracia can be an evil game. Some of the bosses are very, very scary and will kill your best units despite your best preparation. I don't want the full turnwheel from SoV/TH, but a remake could definitely use a limited means of saving in-mission progress. I'm partial to the FE11/12 save point system.
- Fix Xavier recruitment: It's a pain. It can still be a pain in a remake. But please, not this kind of pain.
Remasters:
Remakes:
Live A Live - A re-release of any kind would be cool, but I think a remake in vein of Trials of Mana would be kinda rad. They could even release it episodically if they felt so inclined to due to the way the game is split. It'd also be a chance to introduce new people to the series.
Ports in this episode of "why are these still stuck on 360/PS3 c'mon you don't even need to change them":
- .hack//IMOQ - GU is cool, but IMOQ had a very different, much more somber and mysterious atmosphere to it, and in some ways I actually like the gameplay better. It'd be nice to play a graphically improved version of those games, as collecting all of the individual parts is difficult. I only own Infection and Mutation.
- Solatorobo: Red the Hunter - One of the prettiest games on the Nintendo DS and my personal favorite game ever, Solatorobo suffered a bit on the DS from being on d-pad. It played much better on 3DS due to the nub, and it'd be wonderful to have it in HD on a modern platform so people could experience this lovely title with its art assets intact. They could even use the Perfect Soundtrack instead of the original compressed DS OST.
- Persona 3 FES/P3P - Do I even need to explain this one? The game doesn't have a definitive release due to P3P and FES having different pros and cons. One unified release would be great.
- Jet Set Radio Future- JSRF was such a huge improvement over the original with a full world to explore and better more Tony Hawk-like controls, yet its still stuck on the OG Xbox ;_;
- Devil Survivor Overclocked - I just want Yasuda's artwork in HD don't judge me

Metal Gear Solid 3 : Full remake - Just make it pretty, add crouch, make a quick menu to access camo or food options and boom, that's the GOAT right there.
Banjo Kazooie : Remaster - Give it the same treatment Spyro & Crash got
WWF No Mercy : Port/Remaster
South Park Chev's Luv Shck : Port/Remaster
Metal Gear Solid Saga : Port - Give us ALL the games in one boxset or bundle for the love of god

- Final Fantasy Tactics: frankly, just an upscaled version of the PSP remake War of the Lions is enough, the game is basically perfect. Any added content or further updates would be gravy. Probably stick with 3D sprites, even if not in the exact same style. I've played a lot of tactical RPGs since then, and Tactics still looks best for my part
- Yakuza Kenzan Kiwami: Seconding for pretty much the same reasons as OP. Doing Ishin first might make more sense because it'd be lower effort. I know they never localized either game originally in part because they thought the time period and historical references were too specific to have appeal outside of Japan, so doing the lower effort game first to see if it'll play makes sense.
- Skies of Arcadia: Sega take note, you're sitting on some gems. Ground up remake. I'm not thrilled about the Final Fantasy 7 style remake I have seen people talking about for every JRPG and I'd rather a remake stay turn based, but updating all the graphics, music, cutscenes, voices, and update the gameplay where possible. Maybe a system like Dragon Quest where you can kind of switch between turn based and real time.
- The Last Story: The worst part about this game is that it's still stuck on the Wii. Mistwalkers early output was generally great, but taken down for a lot of reasons, one of them being that they were all exclusives to one platform or another. The reason I say Last Story instead of Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon is because Nintendo has at least once recently shown they're willing to make deals about old IP like that. Plus Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon are both soon to be more accessible via X-Cloud and BC. Mistwalker is starting to do their own games with Fantasia, but I don't think this project would require outside help, either way, would love to see Sakaguchis return somewhere other than Apple Arcade.
- Timesplitters 2: I picked 2 because it's the one I'm most familiar with and generally remember as the best, but any Timesplitters game would do. Rebuild everything from scratch and redesign the levels to take advantage of some more modern sensibilities. Frankly I might prefer a full series reboot to a remake, but this thread was about remakes.

1: Eternal Darkness
Jesus, come on, Nintendo. People have been asking for a re-release/remaster for years. It's time.
2: Alan Wake
I just want to play it and get me some juicy PS trophies, dammit.
3: Silent Hill series
Just remake 1 and remaster 2, 3, 4 and Origins.
4: Clive Barker's Undying
The game was, and still is, great. But it would do with a facelift and a port to modern platforms.
5: Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
Sure, it was buggy and janky as fuck, but it was a rather good video game adaption of Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. I'd buy a remaster.
Bonus answers:
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines remastered for consoles with the fan patch baked in.
Blood remake for all platforms.
Nightmare Creatures remake for all platforms.
Realms of the Haunting remake for all platforms.
Dead Space trilogy and Dante's Inferno remastered as a Visceral package.
American McGee's Alice and Alice: Madness Returns remastered.
Lollipop Chainsaw remaster.

- Remake: Panzer Dragoon Saga - This game redone on the level of something like Shadow of the Colossus 2018 is my all-time dream remake. People need to play this game. If the remakes of Panzer 1 and/or the digital release of Panzer Dragoon Orta (it's on Game Pass; tell a friend!) caught your eye, you ain't seen nothing yet. Saga is a full-fledged RPG in the Panzerverse with an awesome combat system, a great story, and a Chrono Trigger-esque length (i.e., it doesn't overstay its welcome like a ton of JRPGs do). It'd be perfect today if it was re-done well.
- Remake: Final Fantasy VI - Or hell, even just a simple but competent port. Anything's better than the crappy thrown-together mobile version and its terrible sprites, filtering, interface, etc. Those versions are how tons of people first got to know FF6, and it's disappointing knowing it's likely to give them a terrible first impression of one of the all-time greats.
- Remaster: Burnout 3: Takedown - The often-remastered Burnout Paradise is also fun, but there's a reason Takedown is topping best-racer lists lately. It's super focused, the gameplay is just about perfect, and it's got a hell of a soundtrack (which, admittedly, is probably why a remaster can't get off the ground...music licensing sucks). Even so, this game can't just be stuck on PS2/GC/XB forever...can it?
- Remaster: F-Zero GX - Another legendary racer, except Nintendo has very few excuses here. There's no licensed music, the fans have been clamoring for this thing forever, and the series hasn't had an entry since 2004. It's long past time for something F-Zero, if not this. (But it really should be this.) Bonus points if the remake has a track editor, or a racing circuit which makes randomly-generated tracks, like F-Zero X did.
- Port: The Hero of Time Duology (Switch) - As emulation has already shown, Ocarina of Time 3D and Majora's Mask 3D already look damn good in 1080p. Make a new, higher-res interface, clean up some muddy textures here and there, revert some of the weird changes made to Majora 3D (esp. Zora swimming and Deku hopping momentum), and you're golden. Basically, do what a handful of fans already did in their spare time.
1. Donkey Kong '94: The Mario v DK series ain't doing it for me.
2. Pikmin 1: I'd like to revisit this game with prettier graphics.
3. Remaining Mario Kart levels: This would be easy money as DLC in MK8D.
4. Dragon Quest 1 - 3: We need a better option than the mobile ports
5. Early Fire Emblem games: Interested to try them. I have Shadows of Valentia on my wishlist

Remake: Skies of Arcadia. Reduced battles and load times. Modern graphics, but in the same style/spirit (i.e.not overly dark and gritty like some modern games)

Remaster: Sega Rally. Rally driving perfection, but with updated graphics

I think for me it's Xenogears. I love the game, but the pacing makes it hard to tolerate in 2020.
Dunno if this counts, but I've dreamed of a Chrono Trigger style demake of Xenogears with pixel art.

This.
Both Battle On The Edge, and Power Edition.
Give it a 4K texture paintjob for platforms that can run it. Leave the polygons alone, as is, in their 1998 forms. Let the ports run at 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 1600p, 4K etc on PC, and whatever resolutions fit with each console (current and next-gen).

Silent Hill 2 - One of the greatest games ever made deserves its Resident Evil 2 Remake moment.
Panzer Dragoon Saga - This should be Sega's biggest blockbuster franchise.
