Them being the original creator of the products doesn't necessarily imply that they still have running production processes for every product that 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 family dinners at most.

This museum IS NINTENDO. They are the only people allowed to do this job correctly.

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.

Entirely 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.

I suspect they have their own emulators.

I mean they have old games available for new platforms and have had that for multiple generations. One of the things you get with a Nintendo online subscription is a switch catalog full of a bunch of SNES and NES games for play on the switch.
