Topic: Button mapping

I downloaded Wario Land today, but then I forgot that for some bizarre reason, the VC games use literal interpretations of the buttons A and B on these games.. and as such makes for a really awkward experience. Has there ever been any official statement from Nintendo on this kind of thing? I feel like Y should be the action button and B should be the jump button. The old Super Gameboy managed to do this right.. why doesn't the VC?

No, Nintendo has only ever offered button remapping on the Wii U. No explanation.
Quite terrible, it's something that should've been in since the Wii.
