I think it's a combination of a nostalgia cash grab and just the name recognition, both for younger gamers and their parents. We older gamers are in a unique position in that we were born around when video games were first taking off, if not before, so we had the opportunity to check out most games when they originally came out. But now there are teenage gamers who weren't even born yet when games in the early 00s were coming out, let alone the decades of gaming before that. So for them, there are probably tons of big-name games they've heard of but never played. They won't necessarily play the original versions, but if there's a modernized version, they recall hearing that the game/series was good. And then you got parents who can feel more confident buying something they themselves are familiar with than something totally new. I know when I've shopped for games for my nephew, I've considered stuff like the Crash and Spyro remasters because I know they should be at least pretty good, going off of my experience with the original versions, and that they're age-appropriate.
