Honestly, I think it's all just a matter of timing in almost all of these cases. PS3 ports were getting canceled all over the place when the movie game came out, the XBLA release of the original Arcade game was released when the PSN was extremely new, and missed out on all of those XBLA releases entirely. The Wii getting on old game via VC doesn't really seem to count, as no work had to go into it in the first place.

The rest of the stuff is due entirely to either the franchise being almost dead in the case of the PS1 and for the handheld game, again, the PSP was pretty new at that point, and the release of a what is essentially a GBA game just wouldn't have happened in the first place.

Despite all of that, we still don't know for a fact that the PSN won't be getting the remake, we don't even know if WiiWare will. So I think we should probably hold off on speculation on that for awhile.

Edit: How did I mix up the words "before" and "when"?
