Yeah and it makes sense considering Nintendo's holding on the license was much bigger than MS' once you split up everyone who owned a piece of it.
Plus the original offer from MS was very one-sided in their favor that Nintendo decided to just sit on their hands for years until the scales got tipped into their favor since they correctly guessed MS would grow more desperate over time to get the classic game re-released.
When it came to the remake on the Wii, that one was easier for Nintendo to get on board since it was just a re-imagining of the game and a high profile 3rd party release for the Wii at the time so they didn't have a real problem if it went to other consoles after getting some some timed exclusivity first. Plus the potential licensing nightmare for it was mostly non-existent.
