If you already have these games on Wii or Wii U, Super Nintendo Virtual Console on 3DS isn't meant for you. It's still moving forward with Super Nintendo Virtual Console games on 3DS because why not? This isn't difficult nor expensive to implement, and there's likely a solution to the fragmented Virtual Console once the company transitions to NX. At this point, Nintendo isn't going to bother trying to fix this on Wii U and 3DS when NX was built from the ground up to unify its platforms. That's the only way to reconcile Nintendo's current system of a really short-sighted and poorly implemented separate Virtual Console across now three different platforms. I still think cross-buy is going to happen on NX, and everyone who purchased handheld and console versions of the game will be compensated with Gold Points on My Nintendo. At the very least, Wii U to 3DS transfers or purchases should be happening already. If Nintendo expects me to pay $8.00 to download Super Metroid on every future console or handheld I buy, then I'm going to keep avoiding the VC. If they made a VC purchase good for 2 consoles and 2 handhelds or 1 console and 2 handhelds, I'd start buying a lot more VC games even if I already owned them. That said, I don't know why they can't follow the Apple example of iTunes where you can download content you purchased on 5 devices but have to repurchase it after that. I don't expect Nintendo to create a VC system where buying a game allows you to download to every future console. But with the NX soon to come, I want to wait and see what is discussed for that and how its VC is handled. I've actually been thinking about finally buying VC games that I already own and selling off the original cartridges I own and creating less clutter. So far, that doesn't seem to be the case. I was hoping that with the new Nintendo Loyalty program beginning to be implemented that it might have helped Nintendo look into cross-buy options as part of the revamp.
