That's slowly changing.  Look at how many re-releases of older Final Fantasy
titles there have been.  In some cases, this is the same game, same
graphics, just different medium (eg. going from a NES cart to a DS card)  
But in some cases, the game is also updated when it's rereleased, like God
Of War 1&2 for the PS3.

They're not really targeting people who played the game before:
they're trying to introduce the games to people who didn't play them
by using a platform that is more in line with how the games were
originally.

How successful do you think this kind of venture would be if they
released Final Fantasy I, II, III, etc. on the Game Boy, the Game Boy
Color, the Game Boy Advance, the DS, the Nintendo 64, the GameCube,
and the Wii?
