To be fair, my memory exaggerated.

There are a lot of fundamentally unverifiable things with circumstantial evidence, such as the belief that Ninty used a pirated SMB ROM dump in the Virtual Console version (see https://www.eurogamer.net/did-nintendo-download-a-mario-rom-and-sell-it-back-to-us) and the developer of the NES emulator (https://jamchamb.net/2018/07/11/animal-crossing-nes-emulator-hacks.html) built into the GC version of Animal Crossing being thanked on the iNES emu, but a lot of that has been shown (https://gonintendo.com/stories/320138-we-might-finally-have-proof-that-nintendo-did-not-download-a-supe) to be tenuous at best.

Regardless, emulation kept alive franchises that would otherwise have been left by the wayside, and definitely spurred interest in the mini classic consoles, so I'm claiming vague philosophical correctness. 😁
