This might be a questionable take, and I imagine it's going to age terribly over time, but... I actually think it's pretty neat that Nintendo are doing more ground-up remakes of some of their older games! Even if I do think there needs to be a carefully maintained balance between remakes/rereleases and outright new games, it's still neat to see older games given an all-new coat of paint.
That said, I think it'd be nice if additional content were more standardised for them, like how Link's Awakening included the additional content from DX as well as some extra bits and bobs. Just outright porting over older games with a fresh coat of paint is fine, I guess, but it'd be cool to see new (and even unusual!) additions that feel kind of fitting in games like those. (For instance, something like Super Mario RPG Remake getting a secret playable character like Toad or Wario would be awesome!)
I get that it's a lot more work to come up with new, fitting content for remakes considering remakes, by their nature, are supposed to be low-intensity in terms of development costs and manpower, but it'd at least be more of a justification for their existence beyond just a graphical overhaul.
