Look at a game like Link's Awakening for an example of a remake done right. They took a game from the original game boy and made it look incredible without losing any of the charm from the original. If you can't see the joy in playing something from your childhood that has been remade to look the way you always imagined it then I'm not really sure what to tell you.
I've been trying to work my way through a lot of the "best games of all time" that I had missed during my childhood. 2-D games like the ones on the SNES hold up incredibly well but I think the magic of the N64 is somewhat lost on newcomers like me.
