I would heavily disagree that kids wouldn't go looking for SNES emulators on their own or playing retro games or what not. I mean, look at the Virtual Console on various Nintendo systems. It's pretty darn popular, even among people who never grew up with most of the games on it. Same deal for Xbox Live Arcade, PSN, Steam, GOG, etc. There's obviously a large number of kids and teens who would prefer playing a NES or SNES game to one of the newer ones.
And hey, enough kids go looking for SNES emulators that the average user age in a lot of ROM Hacking communities is between 13-18. The vast majority of people at SMW Central are well under 18 years of age, and likely didn't grow up with the SNES game:
