No it doesn't.. it's a very legitimate question to ask!
Basically, there's all kinds of licensing and legal issues, and a good deal of companies/developers that put out certain games back in the day either don't exist anymore or they were bought out by another company that owns the rights to said games. Rare is probably the biggest and most notorious example of this, which is why we haven't seen any of their games appear on the VC aside from the DKC series, which Nintendo owns the IP and rights to.
So it's not as simple as just dipping into the NES' or SNES's back catalogue, picking a game and dropping it on the VC for example, plus as Nintendo has stated, they'd prefer to focus on WiiWare then release a flood of titles on the V.
