If they're programming an emulation engine for each game individually, they're being terribly stupid about it, especially for the NES, SNES and N64 games. The only hard part is the GC, because it wasn't already done. Otherwise, it's just adapting the emulator to the Gamepad and control scheme of the gamepad, which is exactly the same as the Pro Controller. It's not really that much work.
Nintendo straight up said in an iwata asks (Or it might have been an interview, I think it was an Iwata asks though) that they do make significant tweaks to the emulator individually per game. They're anal about getting 100% accurate emulation that works with the new features over making speedy 80~95% copies that just about work.
