That doesn't appear to be the case here, as Ars Technica points out. The effect is similar to the pre-roll clip on Paramount's Blu-rays where the dim, old logo gives way to the brighter and pin-sharp HD one. These quick glances of Metroid, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda and others look great and almost as if they're running on a PC emulator.

However, until we actually get a look at the 30 classics running to a HDTV with our own eyes though, it's anyone's guess how they'll actually perform. It's still a shame that we're stuck with the games in the box come November 11th, though.
