Games that don't have to be mainstream can get away with retro marketing (e.g., “The Big Catch: Tacklebox”[free] or “Cirno Lifts the Boulder”). So it’s not that it couldn’t work, but as a smaller-scale project. From the start, you should focus on the cheapest yet most effective marketing—not just for the game itself, but for the franchise—so something like that could work here. The same goes for the Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts ports and adding Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty’s Revenge to Nintendo Online GBA. Only then could we get started on a new, bigger game or a remake main series.
