This is my personal list of games I think need either a sequel, a remake, or a new installment in their series. In order to make the list the game has to either have been out so long that it's obvious that it won't have a sequel made otherwise they would have already done it, or it can be a fairly new game that for one reason or another probably won't be revisited by the gamemakers.

Hands down the best RPG on the Dreamcast, SoA had memorable characters, an imaginative world, and so many layers of gameplay it could impress even the most hardened RPGer. If you were tired with the story, you could explore the world in your air ship, discover hidden monuments and locations, battle other pirate ships, recruit crew members, build your base, and so much more. This combined with the unique shared energy points system in battle made SoA a new experience that we could all use another taste of.
It's been years since Marvel VS Capcom 2 came out, and in that time both Marvel and Capcom have created tons of great new characters. Heck, for that matter there's tons of old characters that could have been in the previous games but weren't. Who out there doesn't want to see Dante from Devil May Cry taking on Daredevil, or Leon From Resident Evil 4 going up against Multiple Man, and who's up for a match between Amaterasu vs Sister Grimm from Runaways? *EDIT* Hey congrats folks, we asked and we received. I'll keep this on the list till it officially comes out just in case anything goes wrong, but for now it looks like we're in the clear XD
How has this game not had a sequel made for the Wii? With the imaginative spray paint system the Wiimote was made for this. That and the artistic cell-shading and the hip soundtrack made this game worthy of a sequel.
Psychonauts was fun, flat out fun. Not only did it have likable characters, great voice acting, environments and settings that had you going from relaxed to on the edge of your feet, and wonderful writing, but it was also hilarious. Psychonauts is one of those games that only come around once a decade, but it really shouldn't. We should all be lucky enough to be treated to a second installment.
Gamers in Japan got a sequel to their version of this game, why can't we? EBA proved that there's more to music and rhythm games than hitting buttons on a plastic guitar. It was so upbeat, colorful, fast paced, and down right fun that even if you hated some of the songs you still found yourself bobbing your head and tapping your toes to the music.
With Street Fighter proving that 2D fighters can be brought into the 3D world (well 2.5 but you get the point) it is time for other great fighting games to come back, and the first one I'd like to see is the Rival Schools series. (Now I know Rival Schools was a 3D fighter and not 2D, but I still think it should get the 2.5D treatment) Rival Schools combined all the fun of Street Fighter with even more unique characters. This game found a way to take all the different characters you might run into in a typical high school, everything from a baseball player to a biker punk even to a yearbook editor, and turn them into fighters with their own unique attacks without making it seem hokey or corny at all... Well, maybe it was a little corny, but in a fun way.
This wouldn't really be a sequel so much considering the ending didn't give us many places to go, it would more of be a return to the concept. Ten new Colossi, a new hero with a new land to explore, and with brand new next gen graphics and gameplay.
Shenmue was very ahead of its time with its way of story telling and we've seen many games borrow or pay homage to it since, so why not bring it back to give it the proper respects. Not to mention this game was supposed to be a sixteen part series and yet we only got two, sounds like it isn't yet complete to me. So come on Sega, Sonic has enough games out there for now, time to get back to some of your lesser known characters.
Okay, I'll admit this is unlikely to get remade or sequeled since you have to install a ton of computer programs to have a chance of even playing the original for a second so nobody knows what this is. But seriously, just go to the page, look at the characters, and then tell me they aren't some of the most creative looking creations we've seen in a long time. Every one of them has a great feel to them and range from exciting to epic. With some crisper graphics this should at least be made as DLC, but until then keep searching the internet folks.
The Jak series was supposed to be a trilogy, and this game wrap things up pretty well, but then they added a racing game to the mix which was average to say the least, so this great series can't go out like that. Plus Jak and Daxter were sort of like the rivals of Ratchet and Clank, and that series keeps going on, so it's time that Jak and Daxter up their game.
