there are 2 reasons this doesn't happen more often.
1 - someone out there owns the intellectual property rights to the original titles.
2 - the cost of acquiring publishing rights to the original IP along with the cost of revamping the graphic assets likely surpasses the anticipated revenue of the remake by a significant margin.
basically, it's not going to get made unless someone can turn a profit on it, and right now that's not an option for many.
also found this out the other night, kind of interesting. in the past year there have been 362 new wii games released. talk about taking the practice of spraying poop at the wall and seeing what sticks to a whole new level...
