Your opinion on the Virtual Console?

Hi all! Currently I'm writing a thesis on the emulation scene VS the Virtual Console. There seems to be a big miscommunication between the two, and in my opinion the distorted communication is mostly caused by Nintendo since they produced an emulator without involving the experienced programmers within the emulation scene. The lack of communication led Nintendo to introduce the Virtual Console, an emulator which according to most isn't as good as the existing emulators created by the emulator scene.

I was wondering about your opinions on this case. Do you think Nintendo did a good job on creating the Virtual Console? And if not, why? Are your objections mainly based on the ethical side (them not incorporating the emulation scene) or based on the technical side (them releasing an emulator that isn't as good as the existing ones)?

BTW: The conclusion is also going to the Nintendo HQ once my research is finished, so let me know what you think!

I think that they did a good enough job, all the games ive tried have worked fine. Also, if speedrunning was any advocate, many find faster times with VC then on original hardware, meaning it runs faster on VC, which means they are utilizing their hardware correctly.
