So Uncharted 4 will be a revival of a franchise because Uncharted 3 came out 4 years ago in 2011... 4-5 years is hardly a forgotten franchise.
Hell there's a 5 year gap between Mario Sunshine and Mario Galaxy. Hell Metroid Prime 3 came out in 2007 (and if you count Metroid Other M that's still 2010) and it would be mad to say Metroid is a forgotten franchise. A franchise that desperately needs a 2D entry again, but not forgotten.
So no, NiGHTS doesn't count. I mean the last NiGHTS game may have been forgettable, but I don't think that makes it a forgotten franchise.
Everyone knows Street Fighter and Marvel. Not may know Darkstalkers. JoJo is weird enough to have a crazy following. I love DarkStalkers, hell like my love for the franchise is insane. But it's just not well known enough to claim it's own space in the world now, times have sadly changed.

I don't think it's coming back any time soon...Out of all those remasters they did, the only ones that did sell well were SF2 and MvC2. Which were the first ones to be released. Capcom themselves said the overall sales trend of all those remasters was downward, which means that regardless of IP each one sold less than the last. Meaning somehow MvC1 sold less than Jojo. So to me it's pretty clear that people were just getting tired of playing old games when newer ones were becoming available.
