Are you really judging remakes and their prices released in 2001-2004 by 2016 standards?
If they were straight ports then you might have had a point, but straight SNES emulation was absolutely not an option on GBA, so they had to do research and development to manually get these games working right on the platform (and considering how many of the other SNES ports on GBA got fucking butchered like Contra 3, Aladdin, and the Earthworm Jim games, it can't have been terribly easy).
Now if you were to direct these complaints to the "Classic NES Series", I'd absolutely agree. They were no-frills emulated ports of NES games, and some saw other GBA releases in some form or another (Metroid was unlockable in Zero Mission, Pac-Man saw TWO releases on Namco compilations albeit based off the arcade version, Dr. Mario is made totally obsolete by Dr. Mario & Puzzle League which came out later plus was part of WarioWare as Dr. Wario, others were available as e-Reader titles at a fraction of the cost, etc). THESE were goddamn shameless.
