Will SNES games ever come to the 3DS eShop?

What I am trying to tell you is it is not free for Nintendo to make these games available.  It takes manpower, time, and money.  It seems as though Nintendo has decided that their resources are better spent mostly elsewhere right now.

Well, they have the money... billions of dollars. The homebrew scene makes these emulators for free, a few million dollars and access to detailed hardware and software specs should speed up the process and enhance the emulation quality immensely.

It would take time, but they could have started these projects years ago, at least a year before the launch of the 3DS respectively the Wii U. And Wii-titles on Wii U or DS-titles on 3DS would take no time at all... they just have to put them on the eShop-servers and pricetag them.

It would take manpower, but that manpower does not have to take resources from other development teams. Nintendo could hire new people... and these new employees don't have to be creative game designers or artists which would better be suited to create new fun gaming experiences.

Apparently, there is not enough money to be made to justify all of those moves.  "We have billions of dollars," can't and shouldn't be used to justify any project.
