Weaker hardware mean take more time to optimize for emulate, isn't it obvious ? Since when i said 4 months? New 3ds came out in Japan in 2014, SNES VC is 2016 mean 2 years later and you knew New 3ds CPU is 4 times faster than 3ds. Definitely take more times than 2 years like New 3ds, 3 or 4 years? As we see, Switch came out last year, put SNES VC on Switch now is way better choice than 3ds. And all SNES games you mentioned run on 3ds emulator at 60fps in 3D? Yes or no?

I know that English isn't your first language, but I'm having a pretty hard time trying to figure out what you're trying to say for most of this post. I assume you're trying to argue that Nintendo is better of spending their time on making an SNES emulator for Switch instead of putting their efforts in to making a base 3DS emulator today? Of course that's true. Then again, I'm not arguing that Nintendo should do this today, I'm arguing that the could have done it when they were developing the emulator the new 3DS and chose not to. Whether it would take a significant amount of time or effort getting a SNES emulator running on the base 3DS that can play all the games currently available on the N3DS Virtual Console, I'm not about to speculate. It's entirely plausible that the N3DS SNES emulator already works perfectly on the base 3DS for the SNES currently available on the Virtual Console.

And yes, all the SNES games that are currently out for the N3DS Virtual Console are playable on the SNES 9X emulator for the base 3DS at 60fps. I'm not sure what you mean by 3D. These are SNES games. Most of them are 2D. The games on the N3DS Virtual Console aren't 3D games like Star Fox.

I think you know i mean 3D mode, right? When turn 3D on, are they still run perfectly at 60fps? I remember Snes9x emulator still have games run at low speed so no, not all. When they were developing the emulator for the new 3DS it was still a long wait till 2016, 3ds is quite weaker than New 3ds so of course it will take a quite longer time.  2017 we have Switch and SNES VC come out for 3ds in 2017 at the earliest is not worth to spend the time and money to research and optimize
