Is it a greedy price for the amount of effort put into porting this?
Yes... 100% without a doubt.

Is it worth the price anyways? probably, Mario Galaxy 1&2 are fantastic games.
This is nothing new though, Nintendo can be really scummy and greedy at times.
They do however make some really darn good 1st party games.

*edit:
I mean a 19 year old game, with barely any work done on it, port wise.
This should have been like a 20-40$ title (for both games combined), and would have been if it was say steam/playstation/xbox.

Money talks.
Nintendo fans are really forgiving..... saying something but not following through, isn't going to fix anything.

I find the idea of buying direct ports to be pretty abhorrent indeed, but it's not like they advertised Galaxy as remasters

It's for people who are fine with paying high for low quality content

Those are harsh words (low quality content).
Galaxy 1&2 are fantastic games.

The issue is the level of care, and porting efforts vs the insane prices Nintendo asks.
You can't help but feel your getting screwed, even if you enjoy the games.

I don't mind that they're direct ports, Having physical copies of old games on Switch/Switch 2 is pretty cool. Like Star Wars Jedi Outcast, Rollercoaster Tycoon, FF VII/VIII that are already released physically.

It's a pricing issue, old games with minimal changes is fine, charging $70 isn't. SMG1+2 shouldn't cost as much as a brand new 3D Mario.

Price is awful for those titles. But textures where updated and both are in the top 3 best platformers of all time, with banjo.

Still, emulation and texture packs are available. I do hope the S2 cools off. Nintendo is getting a bit big for their britches, such as prime 4 desert music being locked behind an amiibo.

Nintendo is the best developer in gaming but also the most anti-consumer. Heck mario 3d all stars was a limited digital release.

Issue is, I don't even think Galaxy 1 to be good (never played 2). It's the only 3D Mario I didn't like 

I mean it's clearly just a port to profit on the movie that's coming out. They never marketed it as a high end remaster. The price def should be a bit lower.

Playing it on dolphin is better.
