My list of the best party time games is:
Dead Island : The countless hours I spent with my friends playing home lan parties on this 4 co-op zombie killing game with decent story set on a Caribbean Iike Island
Diablo 3 : Story mode and Seasons party time with my friends slaughtering demons and unholy creatures. I would also switch to Diablo 2 for old weekend Lan party type gaming (but I included it in the top 5 games for me).
Buzz Quiz World : I just loved this for testing your knowledge with friends at home or even with your party against other parties online (couch party vs couch party)
Super Mario Bros. Wonder : This is recent but amazing for me classic Mario gaming with party mode for great laughs with friends at home
Wii Sports Resort : This one needs no introduction its like Wii Sports 2. I loved over the original because the extra motion sensor that made the party games more fun.
I'm using only the roms and isos I play or i'm willing to play, so the pre-built categories in Launchbox manage my collection exactly the way I want. I don't need to tweak anything to manage my collection beyond that.
I have to agree that interactive museum is next level! Any additional content is an extra bonus for me art, videos, soundtracks, stories and if it's interactive that's just collectors dream!
A good remaster for me is when it keeps the original game intact and they just improve the audio visual elements plus controls if needed. Also they need to make it run on new machines with the necessary extra options (like higher resolution on any monitor).
