The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing (www.pcgamer.com)

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.
