I don't think a "remake" is a bad thing. A "remake" in the current sense, though, is. The Hollywood "let's remake it but change it" formula sucks. If you took any game, like I mentioned earlier, update it to current level of aesthetic prowess seen elsewhere and then add to it (not change, add) I will never say no. Hell, I'd go out and pay $50-60 right now for an updated (not just an "HD" release, either; has to be fully revamped graphics) version of Ocarina Of Time for Wii U.

Great games shouldn't have to die but I don't think they will. With the emergence of online "arcades" and online play a lot of games are popping up. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV I downloaded a demo for on my 360 (with updated graphics). So you'll see those popping up.
Here's a little story about not letting games die: back when GameCube came out and they released that Zelda bonus disc with Ocarina, Majora and a couple other games on it, I had to have it. I came across only one way to get it: own 3 or 4 Nintendo games, send them the UPCs or whatever and they'd send you a copy. Being young and having no internet-buying prowess at the time, I saw my life flashing before my eyes. I wasn't going to buy the crappy games they wanted UPCs for, so I had an idea. I went to my local video game rental store (I believe it was a Rogers Video) with a pen and paper and proceeded to copy down the UPCs for all the games. Went home on the tubez, plugged the information in and now I have that collector's disc. And I think I'm going to start playing it...
Oh, and TMNT IV kicks butt. There were a few SNES games that just rocked the house. Like Aladdin.
