A freddy game is special enough!! it was okay for the time. A remaster or remake could be the best thing ever made. However, i think at least a re-release would be cool.
Those games also need your vote!
Star Fox 2
Star Fox 2After the success of Star Fox, Nintendo decided to make a sequel on the same system. However, with the release of the Nintendo 64 looming close, Nintendo decided to cancel the game despite it being nearly complete. Many features of this game were later reused in Star Fox 64, most notably Star Wolf, and the game itself was later leaked as source code and compiled into a working ROM. The game was later released for the SNES Classic console as an unlockable game, marking its first official release. Since then, the game was also released for the Nintendo Switch Online service.

Super Mario Land
Super Mario LandSuper Mario Land is the first Mario's outing on the Game Boy. It is a side-scrolling platformer much in the vein of the previous Super Mario Bros. This time, Mario must save Princess Daisy, rather than Princess Toadstool, from her kidnapper Tatanga, a mysterious spaceman. The game follows largely the same formula of its aforementioned predecessor, with Mario defeating enemies by jumping on them and collecting coins and power ups by hitting floating blocks, with each world leading up to a boss fight which is defeated using by collapsing the floor. A unique feature of this installment is two scrolling shoot-'em-up levels, the first of which Mario pilots a submarine, and the second an aeroplane.

Super Mario 64 Shindou Pak Taiou Version
Super Mario 64 Shindou Pak Taiou VersionThis version of Super Mario 64 is the same as the International release of the game, as it retains all of the glitch fixes as well as graphical and sound changes. The only differences other than one voice clip are the language being changed back to Japanese, a new title screen easter egg, fixing of the backwards long jump glitch and the Rumble Pak support. This version would later be released as part of Super Mario 3D All-Stars.

Super Mario 64 2Super Mario 64 2
Super Mario 64 2Super Mario 64 2 was the tentative title for a Mario game in development that served as the direct sequel to Super Mario 64, intended for release in 1999. It was going to be for the Nintendo 64DD, but was canceled early in production due to lack of progress and the commercial failure of the 64DD add-on. Only one demo level was ever made but was never publicly revealed. It is also possible that Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, or Super Mario Galaxy 2 could have elements salvaged from the development of Super Mario 64 2, according to Nintendo during an E3 event. Luigi was also set to appear in this game, as was a rideable Yoshi. It can be assumed that Luigi would have been playable, as Shigeru Miyamoto had planned to make Super Mario 64 2 multiplayer – in fact, the first playable demo level was multiplayer.
