This is a “Museum” run by Nintendo in Japan. Meaning they could have used or even created more original hardware to run the titles, but instead cut costs by using the same Emulators that they’re hoping to take down.

Them being the original creator of the products doesn’t necessarily imply that they still have running production processes for everything they ever made.

If I obtain all the original schematics and software and make 1 Nintendo internals for commercial purposes wothout their permission it would be illegal.
If they do it, it costs them the price of a couple of dinners at most.

This is all just speculation. I have no idea how much it would cost for them to build new systems for every playable game in the museum.
Aside from the could argument, I don’t really understand why they would do it.

Its probably against the Emulator’s License unless they built their own from scratch, and a Windows PC is actually pretty overkill.
