short sage
I wanted them to last at least a couple of months. I really love with replaying games also so if there's any replayabilty it's fine if it's short.
Here are the games I want:
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
Kirby and the Forgotten Land
Pikmin 4
Pokemon Scarlet
Pokemon Arceus
Metroid Dread
Mario Maker 2
Which two of these games should I buy?

The best for "replay value & longevity" here is Mario Maker (assuming you have the Online subscription). Infinite Mario levels with online versus & coop, and endless level modes.
DK, Kirby, Pikmin and Metroid are the best games overall here, but their replay value really depends on you. I should mention that Metroid specifically only takes around 12 hours to 100%, and is ironically pretty linear (regardless it's still a great game). You do unlock difficulty modes and have speedrun incentives / boss rushes, though.
Pokemon Scarlet I can't recommend in good faith. For the price, you're getting a mixed bag. The game is generally unpolished, glitchy, and has poor graphics & performance optimisation. Legends Arceus is good (maybe 30-40 hrs casually), but not really very replayable.
