How many times have you played a game and thought, "This would be so much better with multiplayer," or "I wish the graphics looked just a bit better," or "Why won't Kinect just freaking work the way it's supposed to?"

A lot of games wind up being just slightly disappointing, and too often it's for technical reasons. Sometimes game console hardware just doesn't live up to a developer's vision, or time constraints cause them to cut content and corners.

But that doesn't make them bad. OK, sometimes it does—but just look at Wind Waker HD on Wii U. The original was wonderful, yet the unexpected next-gen version gained a lot from the upgrade anyway.

That's a great example of why these ten games might be worth porting to the Xbox One, PS4 or Wii U—but only if they're done right.
