It appears all the games are emulated.
Galaxy and Sunshine run under a Wii and GameCube emulator named "hagi"(?) possibly made by NERD (Nintendo of Europe division).
Mario 64 is running under an N64 emulator. Dunno which.

Among the three games, Super Mario Galaxy is the game that seemingly had the most work done on it, as the original code has been recompiled to run on the Switch CPU natively.
Galaxy in particular is really interesting. It appears they recompiled the original code to run natively on the Switch CPU, but everything else (GPU/Audio) is running in the emulator.
Interesting trick!
