I think the OP's context is game systems (a couple of the earlier questions were regarding LCD display longevity, and capacitor life). Game systems are made down to a cost, nothing the OP can do will preserve those products indefinitely (you'll be lucky if nothing within them fails within a few decades) - and it's more practical to run the games themselves forever in emulators and on newer hardware in future.
BR first or remake?
original. and of course there is always that one exception that broke the rule to add emotional content.
