So if it were sold with other titles, including whatever special features the company still has the rights to, would it be worth it to get the slight HD upgrade in picture quality? I genuinely wonder what others here think. I'm not a business expert, so it would be especially interesting to hear from insiders.

That's exactly what they did in japan, albeit on dvd back in 2008; a box containing wicked city, demon city and cyber city.
What little I can decipher says they were new prints and new remasters, google translate wasn't much help though. Ofcourse it's long out of print now.
