Just a rumor for now. Don't know why people feel the need to take every bit of commentary as truth.


The only rumour part is that Natsume's experience will be the same for everyone dealing with SNES games on Virtual Console, but it's not like what they're actually saying is some nameless forum poster rumour :P

Natsume had nothing to do with Lufia, it was developed by Neverland and published by Nintendo.

Lufia 2's page shows them as NA publisher of Lufia 2, at least.

 

As for the topic, I feel this is the important part:

Ultimately Nintendo does the “bulk of the work”, and if Natsume can be believed, the Japanese games maker just doesn’t want to deal with SNES any more.

If Nintendo is doing all the work getting these games up, then since they announced new systems, it's obvious their priorities are going to shift.

As for why they're doing all the work... I assume it's QA reasons (and not wanting any vulnerabilities to slip through in 3rd-party games).  Seems extremely restrictive.
