I think now, remakes that use polygons have got a lot better. I mean the PSP Megaman remakes were good games, but even X looks a bit ugly. As for Powered Up! - the giant bobble head look wasn't really my jam. I think that's the same problem with FF. It wasn't that it particularly looked bad, it was a rather large style change, and if you didn't like it than that was that.
But well, games like Oddworld and Shadow of the Beast look really really nice.
Other games are just 'OK' - such as Ghouls and Ghost on the PSP (or was it Ghost and Goblins - and does it even count as a remake?). The point is, that game looked fine. Would it have been better with sprites? Maybe, but it didn't take anything away from the game using polygons.
Although not a remake, the new King of the Fighters is 3D. I'm guessing it's simply easier to do with a game of that size.
A series that has became very ugly since going 3D is Fire Emblem. Those games just look awful and with the size of the screen etc sprites would work a lot better.
I think it's fair to say that most remakes now look fine when making the jump to 3D.
