Square and Enix have been remaking games with updated graphics but the same core for quite a while now (Dragon Quest IV - VI; Final Fantasy I, II, III, IV; SaGa 2/Final Fantasy Legend 2).

(Think in the way that the above games were remade, not in the way that they "reboot" games like Ninja Gaiden.)
