I mean if we're talking about Capcom doing more remakes, then let's throw in Breath of Fire while we're at it.
Parasite Eve.
Goemon was awesome, same with Katamari Damacy.For the most part I do agree. Especially with the ton of remakes, reboots, kickstarters that's keeping certain franchises afloat. But with some remakes being awesome lately, I guess it's some way to preserve this quickly evolving medium. Resident Evil 2 is probably the best current example of how to remake a game with love. The Yakuza Kiwami remakes can be added too, as with the recent revived platformers like Strider, Bionic Commando REARMED - not that 3D one with the dumbest twist in history (sorry Mike Patton).
That said... ooh boy where to start?
Seiken Densetsu 3 would be the top of my list. Since Secret of Mana got reconstructed from the ground up, SD3 has yet to be properly released outside Japan, throw us a bone here Square Enix, but at least do it right unlike said Mana remake.
And from the Enix side, any of the 3 Blazer trilogy games (Soul Blazer, Illusion Of Gaia, Terranigma), or at least a spiritual sequel like they tried with The Granstream Saga but with more recurring themes.
And perhaps a ton of other JRPGs of the time like Treasure Hunter G, the first 2 Star Oceans, the Lufia games etc.
EDIT: With Katamari Damacy recently getting the Reroll treatment, there was a missed opportunity with adding it's sequel We Love Katamari as a bundle. Which is a shame, despite being pretty much the same exact game, the sequel was much more refined and definitely more challenging than the original.
EDIT 2: Bloody hell I won't be able to stop at this rate. Add Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon on N64 to the list.

I'd add in the Tenchu series and Power Stone. Both of those desperately need to be modernized and remade imo
Was it really though? I remember playing this one a long time ago and it was floaty and awkward to control (as was standard for n64-era 2.5d platformers :lol). I didn't hate it by any stretch, but I don't understand why it has such a following now. It's got like some cult status thing going on right now.Goemon was awesome

the only good part of shenmue was the fighting system
I'm curious what you'd say the big issues are with something like Diddy Kong Racing. Haven't played it in a long time, but I remember that one being great. I'd probably rather play that than any modern racing game - Mario Karts included.
Mr. Retro!
Diddy Kong Racing I think was the first N64 game I had as a kid. I played an insane amount of that game and so that's what felt "right" in a cart-style racer, and the Mario Kart style controls have never felt right to me by comparison. Vaguely on-topic: there was a remake of that one for the DS, but I remember hearing it wasn't a very good remake.
Edit:
I also remember the characters in that one all handling pretty differently, if that makes any difference. Now I want to go out and find another copy of Diddy Kong.
