I picked up Shadowman for the Dreamcast. It looks just like an N64 game, so the only real improvement over that version is frame rates.
I also picked up Comix Zone, the original "Viewtiful Joe", for Genesis. That game still looks amazing. It's also nice to have another game that actually makes use of the 6 button controller.
I got a more modern game to go with those, Lunar Silver Star Harmony for PSP. They already remade this game with better graphics on the PS1 some time ago. This time they outdid themselves. The artwork is incredible and much higher resolution, and there's all sorts of pretty long additional chapters added to the gameplay, like a prolonged opening consisting of the entire "ending fight" of Dyne and company that's talked about throughout the original. It reveals details of exactly who they were fighting as well. Like most PSP remakes, it's amazing but I don't expect them to follow it up with Eternal Blue Rapsody any time soon since these remakes haven't been selling too well.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
