Anyone else interested in this?
Its got some of the best titles Rare ever produced and most of them are running through emulation.
What I want to know is how Microsoft (one of Nintendo's biggest rivals) and their subsidiary Rare were able to convince Nintendo to let them ship this game containing emulators for the Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 (including the various firmware ROMs build into the 64) and various game titles running on those emulators...

Because emulation has long since been proven in the courts to be legal as long as you don't directly use firmware ROMs. And the N64's firmware consists pretty much of nothing more than a simple bootloader, so would be trivial to work around and thus not include. Don't you remember Sony v. Bleem?
