Now that I think about it, it's not even true.
Every metroid game from home consoles was already available on Wii (Metroid, Super Metroid, Prime trilogy). They then made a point to push out almost every other game onto the eshop for 3DS ambassadors within the year, with Fusion and Metroid 1 for ambassadors, as well as the gameboy metroid game soon after. If you have a 3DS and Wii(Or Wii u) as a result, its possible after 2011 to play EVERY metroid game except Metroid:Zero mission in existence on the two.
Only Zelda & metroid got such a quick push out on eShop titles.
What else could they have done... Republished the prime trilogy again? Other M? (Yeah, the people who would be interested in the anniversary were all dying for more Other M)
Nintendo just didn't highlight it for metroid.
