Set on a boat and given a top down perspective, developers decided rather than try to downgrade and fit a large game on to smaller, less powerful, hardware they played to the Game Boy's strengths.

They could redo this one in the style of the new remakes. But maybe now would be a good time to try and successfully pull off a new isometric Resident Evil game? This would be especially good on today's handheld consoles.
