Designing games purely to appeal to nostalgia, like I Am Setsuna or Yooka-Laylee.

I love Chrono Trigger as much as the next guy but you can't just create a game similar to Chrono Trigger and base all your marketing around how much like Chrono Trigger it is and just hope to invoke the same kind of feelings and enduring praise that Chrono Trigger did. Games like that had a magic to them that can't be replicated.

You can be inspired by nostalgic games from bygone years without being a slave to them. It's very obvious to a player when a game is a hollow shell of whatever its inspiration was. Take the core of the experience and use it to make something actually new.
