I usually stick to platform and favorites but I like how many options exist to customize it further. I'll get around to doing more...or so I tell myself.

The DVD style director commentary track would be a nice addition to many games. I'm more likely to turn that on while playing than to spend much time viewing art or other museum content included with some remasters.

Well it's not a remaster if you aren't at least updating the graphics and fixing controls or providing customizable controls. Any other quality of life improvements that actually enhance the original / remove tedium are what I look for. I feel like the goal for making a remaster should be that it replaces the original, i.e. everyone insists you play the remaster if playing for the first time, but that takes more than HD graphics.

As other posters have already said, Konami seems like an obvious choice for this. For a more modern take, probably Annapurna Interactive.

Top 5 growing up is easier to settle on... Super Mario World The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Super Mario Kart Street Fighter 2 DOOM 2

These have to be some of the most played offline party games amongst my friends. Wii Sports Resort (Wii) - I was going to go with a Mario Party game first but Nintendo has beat that horse for so long, I just can't. We need more motion control party games like this classic. Mario Tennis 64 (N64) - Loved the controls on this and it wasn't so heavy on power-ups and gimmicks like later versions. Beach Spikers (Gamecube) - SEGA put out some cool sports games for a while and this is probably one of the least played but most fun. Time Splitters 2 (PS2) - 4 player split screen with a great variety of characters, levels, weapons, etc. Next time you have the itch for GoldenEye, play this instead. Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl (Genesis/Arcade) - Only 1 v 1 multiplayer but the chaos never gets old. Anyone can play it, they don't have to like football, games are short, winner stays.
