Ah well, at least they play well on Dolphin.

Cxbx Reloaded emulates it well. I think XQEmu does as well.
Ooh, there's a bunch. Muramasa Rebirth, the original Burnour trilogy (yes, including the original), basically anything Atlus released on the PS2.

Persona 2 series please. Who knows, now that Nocturne is being re-released this might actually be a vague possibility. I certainly won't hold my breath though.
I'd also like to see Final Fantasy XIII. I know I can play it on PC, but I hear it's not a very good port.

Literally a slew of arcade games I wish came out to home console and or PC's. I would love for them to rerelease the Simpson's Arcade game, The Rumble Fish 2 only had an arcade release despite the first game having a home release on the PS2. The Arcade Battle Toad's game would be cool (The arcade 1up version doesn't count cause it's till on an Arcade machine that few people will be able to get their hands on sadly cause they sell out so fast typically), Would love a rerelease of Pigskin 621 A.D. on modern consoles and the list goes on...
Someone is currently upscaling that game via ESRGAN:

The #1 reason I want a GCN Virtual Console is to play Lost Kingdoms 1 + 2 again without having to set up my Wii. I guess Eternal Darkness too.
And while I could just play it on my 3DS, if anyone can figure out how to get Henry Hatsworth to work without dual screens...
God yes, I always wanted to play those Mega Man games but could never quite justify a PSP, even with them + BBS.

I fear for most of these games we're going to be relying on emulation. I wouldn't be shocked if something like Metal Gear Solid 4 was eventually rescued, but there just isn't enough upside in most of these games getting ported.
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
There's a good reason it's long been one of the N64's biggest cult classics. Not just enjoyable on its own merits, it was very interesting to see a successful hybrid of Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time released between those two games. What really stood out was that Konami seemed self aware that the game might not age the best, and made much of the game rather easy to balance out issues with the control and camera. Not my favorite Goemon, but easily the most ambitious. I'm presuming the unlocked framerate it used on the N64 would make it easier to maintain a constant 60/120FPS on a new console. With it's fun ancient Japanese atmosphere and action-oriented Zelda gameplay, it's also a little like playing Okami, but asking for much less of your time. Classic soundtrack as well.
The lack of Revenge of Death Adder on consoles has been hurting for a very long time.
everything get remakes these days, where's my Alex Kidd in Miracle World remake with the same treatment that Monster World got? Or that Phantasy Star (1) version from the PS2 on modern consoles?
Sega Rally Championship.
Seriously, I could (and do!) play this constantly. It's annoying that it's stuck on Saturn (or a PC version that, by all accounts, you can mod pretty well) though.
I emulate my JP copy on my Series X so I can actually play it on a modern system but I'd kill for Sega to give it some love and re-release it, cleaned up. I assume the licenses make it hard.

Nintendo should port that to Switch. I can do just fine without Super Mario 98 and Zelda 45 or whatever sequel they're making, but I'd love a port of ED.
I'd also want a Rule of Rose port to PS4/PS5. Who owns that IP, is it Sony?
damn i got my wish super fast
now do phantasy star too gaming genie
The frame pacing wasn't fixed but it maintains a stable 30fps even in sections where frames were dropping on a PS4 Pro.
Skies of Arcadia Legends, which is trapped on the Gamecube. Just a straight digital release would be enough, please Sega.
The Clock Tower games also are all trapped (or at least, I don't remember them being rereleased) and it sucks because anyone wanting to buy a copy now is going to pay a LOT of money for it.

Mechassault 2 (Xbox), c'mon MS give it to me.
Playstation only users? No back compatibility for PS3 games.
Uh, all you need is a Switch and a PC and you can play all four of the original games. None of them are trapped on old hard to find hardware.
Phantasy Star 1 is on Switch, and the other three are literally on Steam for $1 each.
EDIT: Oh I see you meant Remakes now. Well, remakes of the first two exist but yeah they're PS2-trapped and not localized.

i definitely was referring to the PS2 Sega Ages port. Which I don't really care for anyways. Either of them.
I'd love to be able to play the original Silent Hill without emulation. Between the HD Collection, and the PC ports of The Room and Homecoming, and picking up Downpour on eBay, I've got everything now except for 1.
If I ever want to play it, I'll need to buy a PS1, PS2, or emulate it. I don't have a PS5, but it may not even be available on that.
