When should developers go back and remaster or remake their most popular games?

New games don't make as much money as old games that people are nostalgic for. I hate that fact but its what the AAA industry has turned towards

    It's not just AAA gaming but all over Hollywood too, has been for a while. Nostalgia is a powerful force and churning out sequels or prequels or spinoffs off of recognizable IPs is just less risky an investment than trying to make something new.

    Unfortunately you're right seeing how well the Super Mario RPG remake does. They could have put the original on their online service and worked on a new one instead. That's something I dislike about pretty much all media.

    If I want nostalgia, I go back to the original anyways.
