The fact that they didn't remake the Galaxy games or at least remake the graphics when a movie is coming out and Galaxy 3 is heavily likely now is baffling. The 2 Galaxy games are masterpieces and in my Top 4 games but the price is high for what you get relative to the small cost these are for Nintendo. The HD/4K ports of these probably cost a few million USD at best. 

I'm admittedly not much of a techie. I do watch my fair share of DF so absorb some info through osmosis, there are some very clued up posters here that will have proper insight, but I'd be shocked if the cost was that high.

Like how many developer hours could a port like this really require?

Whole games can be made for a few million dollars these days in the indie space that look technically miles better than these 2 ports...

All the merch they were pushing as well... Am I watching a games reel or QVC?

^ this.  

I doubt it even cost that much to port these two titles.
This like a week or so of work, by a couple of guys imo.
