Less realistically, there's an old obscure Koei PS1 fighter that I had to create the article for because no one else would have likely done it and I hope it will be one of the 20 titles in the PSClassic but most likely won't be there let alone the Switch.
More realistically, and with more commas to boot, there's the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, which, if it's not supposed to be on Switch at all, then Activision has been really bad at addressing the fact.
Yes: even the Spyro Reignited Trilogy is more likely to come out on Switch than Destrega to resurface at all.
I don't quite have lots o' loot, because I'm from the Boot.
Turok Rage Wars: One of the world's first multiplayer-focused FPS(actually beating Quake 3 by 2 months). Only one problem: it was released on the N64.
I sincerely believe had it released in a future console generation with online support, it might have done well. But as it was, it was way too ahead of its time.
Chibi-Robo 1 + 2 + 3 Yes, the Gamecube/Wii game plus the two DS games. Chibi-Robo is the most underrated All-Star character from Nintendo. It almost feels like this series goes down to obscurity - I predict Earthbound-levels of cult following. Also, bring him to Smash already! I expected him since Brawl! It sucks that he's not on there like the other 10/10 Triple AAA newcomers from the Gamecube era! (Olimar, Ike, Villager, Toon Link) Yes, Chibi-Robo is a 10/10 for me just like Pikmin 2, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Wind Waker. Let's just forget that Photo Finder and Zip Lash exist. Bring back the three originals, the excellent, classic Chibi-Robo adventure games.
Edit: Oh sorry, that's not a 90ies game. The first Chibi-Robo was released in 2005.
Tetrisphere (1997, N64) A game that never leaves my mind. I always go back to it. And I wanna see those graphics in HD finally. Just don't mess up the music, it's Top 10 videogame soundtrack of all time material. This game is so unique that I almost want to see someone making a (good) clone version of it. How come there are thousands of platformers and action games, but only one game like Tetrisphere??
Mischief Makers remake or sequel. More Marina Liteyears. More SHAKE SHAKE! Best 2D action game of all time. So much better than all of Mega Man, Contra, and Turrican combined. Best christmas present ever. This game blew my mind in December 1997. It was the only 2D game released in the era of the 3D craze (Sure, Yoshi's Story came a few months later, but you know how that one turned out). Of course no one checked it out because it was 2D. I was 16 back then and I haven't seen one action game coming close to its quality and gameplay in 20 years.
Soul Blade / Soul Edge the predecessor of Soul Calibur, released on PS1 in 1997. What a great series. Another top soundtrack. A fighting game with atmosphere! Can't understand how people prefered the generic-looking and crap-sounding Tekken series.
Goemon - A new Zelda-like adventure like Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon on the N64! I love this game so much. Another fantastic soundtrack as well. It's very fun and full of atmosphere and secrets.
Maniac Mansion + The Day of the Tentacle - Lucas Arts best series (released in 1987 on C64 and 1993 on PC). Thimbleweed Park is the spiritual successor and unofficial third game.
Xenogears + Xenosaga - I just want more Xenoblade stuff.
Secret of Mana Collection - Bring it over SQUARE ENIX! What are you waiting for??
MOTHER 1+2+3 - I completed them all, but I want an official, translated physical collection of this series on Switch.
Wetrix (N64, 1998, Zed-Two) By the makers of PLOK! One of the best 3D puzzlers of all time, second to Tetrisphere.
Wizball (C64) was planned to release on Wii VC but after about 20+ C64 games, no more new C64 games came out for the Wii. Instead they took em all down from the service.
Edit: Ok, this one doesn't count as well. 80's game.
