Majin Tensei, a shin megami tensei spinoff strategy game. Fire Emblem and SMT have both gained massive popularity in the west. It's a good time to revive this.

the first that comes to mind is Body Harvest

going through my list of games, some others would include (some already have a series, but could use another newer game):
Hexen (there was Hexen 2, but it was meh)
Jet Force Gemini
Pilotwings
F-Zero
Earthworm Jim
MDK
Mechwarrior, though they're kind of working on it
Lost Vikings
One Must Fall
Painkiller
Alpha Centauri
Tyrian
Wing Commander and/or Privateer
FFT
Dark Cloud
Lemmings

Hexen would be pretty cool. Wouldn't it be kind of like a first-person *Souls game?

Hexen 1 is like melee doom with puzzles; you later get ranged attacks which consume mana. also the levels are organized into 5 sets of 1 hub world with 4 subworlds each, and you have to travel back and forth between the levels to solve the whole puzzle.

default Hexen 1 is a little imbalanced. I had made a small patch a long time ago which fixed a few things. I think it's still on one of my HDs somewhere.

I'd like a new Tenchu, too.

Have the slimmest hope that the "Shadows Die Twice" teaser trailer might be Tenchu-related.

But I doubt it...

There actually IS a new one, just came out this year. It's pretty good.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/529520/Mutant_Football_League/

It was made by the guy who made the original.

PS4 and X1 versions are supposed to be coming next year.

Out of all the games listed, the only games I see actually getting remade are:

F-Zero
Lufia (you'd think this would get a 3DS update at least given the DS game)

I would say these aren't old classics but definitely warrant a remake or port:

Jet Set Radio Future (much better than original Jet Set Radio imo)
Blinx The Time Sweeper

I thought that did get a remake, but it's possible it was just a Steam-enhanced port like they did with Baldur's Gate

But even if you go into the indie scene, I don't think anyone has made a ZAMN type game recently

I think it was just a port of sort, nothing on the same level as Baldur's Gate Enhanced. There are however mods to improve the game, resolution, etc.

I don't really know what this topic is asking. A remake and spiritual successor are entirely different things. I assume most people are thinking of the latter since they tend to be naming more obscure/"forgotten" franchise.

I've kind of always had an itch for a Zelda II remake, but then again, 2D games tend to not need them as much. And it mostly would just benefit from some difficulty balancing, which you could do in a romhack.
