They're not emulated but actually reprogrammed supposedly, and they support display in 3D (unlike the VC games).  So theoretically they could be the "best version" possible.  For example, FDS games like Metroid, Excitebike or Castlevania will probably have battery save and the FM soundtracks (which were dropped when they were converted to carts for the west).  They could also add in additional content from the later rereleases too for the games that have that (like the Mario Advance releases) and imports (like Murasume Castle) will be fully localized.

I doubt this to be true, because that would be so not like Nintendo.

A lot of stuff with 3DS seems to be pretty "so not like Nintendo".  The best version stuff is mostly my speculation, but given they're reprogramming rather than emulating the games I don't see why not.

Think of them more along the lines of mobile phone ports and less along the lines of Virtual Console.
