I guess they can make the argument that it will damage their financial prospects of reselling old games on digital platforms, such as Virtual Console.

But emulators are already available with very good accuracy so I don't know if this will actually have any actual impact on their potential sales.

I do believe that N64 emulation might benefit from the leaks, as I am under the impression the accuracy of N64 emulators has some glaring issues still.

In my experience emulation shouldn't to much affect the selling of a "remastered" version or similar.

And "just" emulation doesn't sell good, even Nintendo just adds it as an additional goody to their online service (NES/SNES).

I believe at least for Nintendo it doesn't really matter much.
