If the port cost 2M and took some time, we can say it's easy enough, but not as easy as just recompiling and testing it. We can also say that for a company like Blizzard it's an investment that despite likely moderately profitable, it has some qualities and possible further benefits, low risk, relatively low cost and possible good marketing value for at least two reasons, showing with facts they are willing to support the platform and porting a game that despite quite old now, is still one of the most successful action RPGs ever, loved by reviewers and even more by gamers. If many NS gamers will like it, there will be another benefit, showing the longevity of Blizzard games, a thing well known by PC gamers, less by PS and XB gamers and possibly unknown for Ninty-only gamers (there were previous Blizzard games also on consoles, like Lost Vikings, but Diablo III is the first really big Blizzard game ever ported to consoles).
