Except that they don't seem to mind emulating NES games or GB games at all and those are "upscaled" to the 3DS screen. NES games play in a window to keep their original resolution, but GB games are distorted unless you use that start select button combo to play them natively. The old Nintendo arcade games could fit in a border just fine at their native resolution. Not the vertical monitor resolution mind you, but the actual resolution of the game, which would be significantly less. At any rate, I don't think resolution issues are Nintendo's big concern.
