9-Volt must be my video game counterpart.

I think people are starting to misunderstand what type of game this is. Especially considering that someone in the comments just said that it should feature nothing but remixes and that even if they are used to help the player learn the games' mechanics and whatnot, they should just buy the individual games. NES games cost $5 each on the eshop. Are you really suggesting that they spend $60 just so they can gain the skills to play a $15 game? And $90 for the original NES Remix? And even if the real games are cheaper, still. Why should they have to go through all of that trouble? With that being said, the regular challenges aren't just to teach you the game's mechanics, they are meant to also showcase the main highlights of those games.
Also, this game series is not meant to just be fanservice or only appeal to the players who played these games back in the day. It is meant to be nintendo retro gaming journey for those who never played any or most of the games featured, and maybe even hook them into wanting to play the full game OR a nostalgia trip for those who already did. Heck, the website even says "Whether you grew up with games like The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros., or you're playing them for the first time, this is your chance to see what made them legends.".
Take me as an example of the "Nintendo retro gaming journey". I had no interest in most of these games. However, NES Remix allowed me to experience the greatest parts of these games and even made me want to play the full versions. The remix stages were an added bonus.
Also, I see that they are complaining about filler content. Well, if the two games were centered around nothing but remixes, I am pretty sure that a vast majority of those remixes would be just filler content. Especially considering that quite a few of them are just special effects that don't effect the games in any way.
In addition, why is this all of a sudden being brought up? Didn't the first game work this way too? It's one thing to complain about a way a game works, but for this to already have been present in its predecessor and you pick to complain about it now is another.
