My man!
I might be missing the joke if there's one, but Sunset Riders is a Konami game, not a Sunsoft game. The arcade version is also available in modern platforms, it's both on Switch and on PS4.

NES Batman...One of my favorite one was the Batman for NES/Genesis. Probably not the case due to the licensing though..

Gimmick is the correct answer that game is insanely well programmed with stupid amounts of uneeded details that make the world really charming along with the physics of the star throwing mechanic. It showed what the famicom could really do in the right hands but sadly with all games released at the end of the life cycle of a console it never found mainstream appeal, it's one game that truly deserves another chance to shine.
Plus the soundtrack is god tier for famicom.

I barely remember that publisher that I had to look it up. Plenty of mediocre games. Journey To Silius is the only one I enjoyed (and now I learned it was based on The Terminator).

I remember loving their Batman game on NES, the music was awesome for its time

What I came to post. The megadrive game music was cool too but NES was legendary for its time

That's something you can definitely say for all Sunsoft games, they had awesome music. They were pushing the sound on NES like few others did.
I love a lot of their licensed games. Hopefully, they could get a few of the licenses to release the games, again. I actually like their Addams family game, Uncle Fester's Quest. Just need to make it where your weapon doesn't get stuck on walls and it we'll be an instant classic.

For some reason I thought Golden Sun and got excited for a second there.
Was Golden Sun from Camelot too?
Camelot is now with Nintendo.
You must not have grown up in the 80s and 90s..I barely remember that publisher that I had to look it up. Plenty of mediocre games. Journey To Silius is the only one I enjoyed (and now I learned it was based on The Terminator).

Yeah, I know. That's the stuff I'm talking about, but it's only on some useless gimmicky hardware.
For now.

Waku Waku 7 would be at least AA budget to remake faithfully.
They could remake the NES Batman game without the IP, keeping the level design and gameplay, and then add the Batman content as an optional DLC, as a mod/total conversion.

See if they just converted this to home consoles it would be a start instead of an obscure and really expensive to own arcade system. It's a nice remake keeping the look very close but freshening it up.

Sunman will rise again!
seriously though enough with retro remakes...just give us new games from old IPS again. I miss the days when an IP could have a sequel and do something different in it...now everyones forever trapped in remaking the same game over and over. ...or certain developers remaking the same style of game over and vover because thats what they are known for.

Ctrl F "clock tower" and no results 
Imagine a successor to Clock Tower 3, done in the Clock Tower 3/Haunting Ground style! Day 0 for that if happens

Blaster master (even though blaster master zero was only a couple of years ago) and a clock tower collection would be awesome.
I really loved the roadrunner Death Valley rally game on SNES but that was only because it felt the closest we were ever going to get to a sonic on the platform.
Optimistic on what they will show next week.

Gremlins 2 would be amazing but highly unlikely. Batman and Batman Return of the Joker are obvious additions. Sunsoft did amazing work with their NES music back in the day.

Blaster Master Zero 3 came out last year. INTI CREATES handles the license now with Sunsoft's blessing. It's likely they're working on more Sunsoft properties for the upcoming reveal.
The mention of Death Valley Rally got me thinking, Sunsoft did a lot of localization, publishing, work for hire and licensed IPs back then (especially Warner properties) Those are SUPER unlikely to get remakes, so it should be relatively easy to narrow down the potential games. A quick pass reveals they don't have full ownership for that much, so here are some likely candidates or my top suspects. I could put some money on them doing a Hebereke title.

Saw some Japanese news yesterday about Sunsoft remaking Ikki (arcade/NES) and Atlantis no Nazo (NES). Wondered if it was a bad machine translation, so I ignored it.
Turns out they're really making a multiplayer Vampire Survivors rogue-like based on Ikki.
It is possible to request beta access on Steam right now.

Biggest chock is learning that Sunsoft is still around. And that they are apparently a division of Sun electronics!
That's on the same level as learning that GT interactive was a subsidiary of Goodtimes entertainment!
(Edit, Not the ones i was thinking of though. Apparently there are two Japanese companies with that name)

Well, not where I expected Sunsoft to start (although people who thought this meant remasters of Batman or Fester's Quest are up in their heads...) but it's good to have the Sunsoft name and library back in action.
Regarding Ikki Unite... I can't tell if this gameplay is cheap and horrible, or clever and deep? At first glance, it looked like a web games from 2006 (it ain't a pretty game, and it doesn't seem to run well,) but watching the trailer again, I've gotten curious about the mechanics and the design choices.
This was the original Ikki, btw:
