They could remake any game in the series. It's just a matter of money. It's a matter of how much money they want to put into a remake and how much money they expect to make by doing so. When making 1.5, they remade certain Days cutscenes and added summaries for other scenes because this was way cheaper than a full remake, which would have pushed back the release date and made the game more expensive to make, reducing the gross margin and making it necessary to sell far more copies to make the profit they needed.
If Days had been made on the PSP instead of the DS, SE would likely have remastered it for 1.5 because the game would already have been made with relatively high-poly models and high-resolution textures along with much more animation, and most fans would be happy if all they did was make the game render at a higher resolution and maybe replace some textures with new, more detailed ones. Days, on the other hand, needed to be remade instead of remastered because of how dinky the models and textures were along with the minimal animation. In the eyes of most players they would be polishing a turd.
They didn't want to put in too much money, so their options were remaking some cutscenes or polishing a turd. It happens to be a turd I love very much, but it would not have gone over well with most people.
