No, but a few facts do point towards this assumption being true:
1. People have been emulating NES, SNES and N64 games for many years now for PC. The knowledge and technical base is there. Workers would be easy to find. In fact, ZSNES actually supports extra graphical features not available on VC.
2. Nintendo did design the hardware and software of the previous consoles.
3. Sony managed to sell the PS1 games (and for less than the NES/SNES games on VC) and have to pay for similar labor and maintenance.
4. Nintendo has a very small workforce (4130 according to Wiki) compared to the sheer amount of profit they currently bring in. In fact, I remember reading that they earn more profit per worker than any other games company.
