Everyone knows emulators are a thing and quick google search will get you everything you need to do it.
And yeah, you can get a 3DS or a Wii or a GBA, but all of those are discontinued consoles relying on used sales for games and hardware that will get increasingly hard to find as time passes, and since Nintendo for whatever reason is taking their deal sweet time modernizing and/or putting older games on VC of some sort, eventually people are gonna decide they're gonna play it any way they can(and Piracy is fair easier and cheaper then trying to get a GBA to play Metroid: Fusion or a Wii to play the Prime games).
If Nintendo cared about making money off their old games, they'd make them easily available for sale on the Switch or add more to the Nintendo Direct service then the paltry few they've been adding each month(and a lot of those aren't even first party games lately). The used game market for discontinued consoles/handhelds doesn't benefit them in the least at this point so it's not like it matters if you buy a used copy of the old Metriods or not to them.
*Adjusts me sailing hat and me hook hand* Arg me Mateys, I spent 698 days under the sea playing nothing but emulated old nintendo games and now I'm as sane as any scurvy dog.
