Sure it is. You think their release to VC is coincidental? It's cross-marketing. All the old schoolers who buy Super Metroid on VC will think about picking up MP3, and people who grow to love MP3 will get curious about the history of the franchise and buy previous Metroid games for VC.
You think Marathon wasn't released to X360 to pump up fanboys for Halo 3?
BTW, if anybody wants to play the games which were the spiritual predecessors to Halo, you can play all three of them for free with a very slick open source app called Aleph One. Get it all at http://source.bungie.org/ and run it on Mac, Windows or Linux. Dedicated fan community ports are one of the coolest things about PC gaming.
