If Nintendo hasn't made more money selling emulated video games than anyone else I would be surprised.

(virtual console, NSO, (s)nes mini, pokemon stadium, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, etc)

If they claimed emulation was illegal they would be a laughing stock. Of course it all comes down to the IP rights and copy protection measures.
