why quartus 13.0 doesn't have a "NIOS II Instruction Set Simulator"

Hello! 

I want to run a NIOS "hello world" example with quartus(Version 13.0). But after I customize the NIOS CPU and use "Tools->NIOS II Software Build Tools for Eclipse" to write the hello-world C program and "Run as NIOS II hardware". I find that I am always faced the problem of blank "Target Connection" and it is useless to click "Refresh Connections". The screen-shot is as follows.

Is it because that I need a Altera-provided hardware platform to run this example? 

And I saw some documents online with "Run as NIOS II Instruction Set Simulator" in Eclipse. As for this, I want to ask why my quartus doesn't have this run option?

The target connection is how your PC connects with physical hardware. There is no hardware involved with a simulator, so nothing shows up in the hardware list.
