I think we can count digital games as long as they are not just an emulated version of the original game (such as the games on the Virtual Console). In other words, Guardian Heroes (SAT/360) would count because it is a port/remake of the original game. Earthbound (SNES/WiiU) would not count, however, because the WiiU version is simply an emulated version of the SNES original with a few bonuses.

Definitely!

You have to skip at least one, however!

Ports and remakes are both fine.

Here are some more that I thought of last night:
Castlevania (NES/X68000) ---> Castlevania Chronicles (PS1)
I think the Sharp X68000 is technically considered 4th gen - it was 16-bit.
Castlevania is on the Amiga as well.
Blast! I tried. You learn something every day, however, which is the point of this thread.
Also...you are all naming some games I never considered, and I hope that you are all enjoying this exercise. I think it is interesting finding out which games are so revered that they merited stand alone ports/remakes many years after their initial release.
