Even Wii U and Vita can't run Hyper Light Drifter with graphic look like late NES game so because it is 2d mean nothing

But they can both run Shovel Knight, Shantae: Half Genie Hero, and Steamworld Dig, all of which are 2D games. The 3DS also has games like Super Mario Maker, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Mighty No. 9 and Super Street Fighter IV, which are also 2D games. I'm not sure why you have the impression that the 3DS can't run 2D games.

Besides, Hyperlight Drifter was cancelled for Vita and Wii U not because it couldn't be done, but because it turned out to be too much work and not worth the effort. Besides, Hyperlight Drifter.

"Heart Machine spent months trying to optimize the game for the [Vita], Preston told backers, but doing so would require essentially starting from scratch.".

That is why i said 2d or not is meaningless if the hardware is too slow and cost too much time to optimize. If Nintendo try to optimize old 3ds hardware to run SNES VC, then maybe in 2018 it can happen with 75% games at full 60 fps in 3D, 25% left is impossible. Meanwhile, let's ignore New 3ds can run all 100% at 60fps in 3D and takes only one-third of years to work on, sound reasonable
