Are there even that many GB games worth buying again? I know there's Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Wario, Pokemon, but I'm having trouble coming up with many others I'd be at all interested in... I certainly wouldn't mind playing Shantae.

Where did that list even come from? Have you actually played all/many of those games? I haven't even heard of a number of them. Haha. You did remind me of a few though, such as the Megaman Xtreme games, and others you've mentioned.
I think the main thing though is how the games have aged. What was "good" when the GB was on the market isn't necessarily the kind of thing I would want to pay for today.
Games I've played, games friends have played, games I've watched on youtube, games I just heard of off-hand. And again, that's just the short list. I could easily double it and I'm already thinking of games I forgot.

To me, games don't age. If they were good back then, they're good now. There are games that are praised that I question whether they were ever good in the first place, but usually a good game will always be a good game, at least in my book. It all depends on your perspective.
Megaman Xtreme 2.Resident evil Gaiden or Super mario land 2 im fine with that hopefully nintendo does all my fav classic games redone in 3D like with SMW

I believe in the philosophy that good game design is always good, but there are a lot of reasons why some games won't age as well as others. There could be imperfections that we were a lot more willing to put up with back then than today. Maybe a game had some really cutting edge ideas that made it exciting when it came out despite not being very refined. Maybe there have just been a lot of more recent games that have done all the same things a lot better than the older game. And on top of that, people change, tastes change and expectations change. I know that when I was a kid, I was a lot more patient and willing to put up with crap in videogames in order to squeeze as much fun as I could out of them. Since I've gotten older my standards have raised, and I'm not interested in wasting my time or money on a sub-par experience. Some games absolutely are timeless, and even if they show some age are always fun to go back to. It's definitely a result of solid gameplay design and shows again that good games are not a result of technology. I think this is one of the big things that sets Nintendo apart as a development company, as virtually all of their good games end up this way.
