A reboot of Strider and Streets of Rage could have been in the makings if it wasn't for both Capcom and Sega shutting down requests by GRIN studio before they went out of business in 2009.
GRIN, makers of the reboot Bionic Commando and Wanted: Weapons of Fate, final project was a game involving Final Fantasy before Square-Enix pulled the plug on the project.
The studio did try one last attempt to stay in business and had tried to contact Capcom for a potential Strider remake project before Capcom eventually dropped support for the remake. GRIN then tried to contact Ubisoft to make a brand new game using the stuff worked on the Strider remake until Ubisoft rejected the offer.
The final attempt by the studio ended up being an idea to remake the Streets of Rage franchise but was denied the chance by Sega who wanted nothing to do with the series at the time.
