During the time the Classic NES series was being produced, a public domain NES emulator for the GBA already existed[1], and has even been used in commercial releases[2]. There would have been no reason to go for the Classic NES games over the existing emulator.

- bananaboy 12y agoYeah but not everyone would be able to/interested in using a flash cart+pocket NES. Nintendo wanted a piece of the action, and probably a lot of people would be happy to buy a Nintendo approved version of those games.
